Hugo Boss Boss The Scent Eau de Toilette

Boss The Scent Eau de Toilette is the 2015 Eau de Toilette for men that started Hugo Boss’s The Scent line, credited by Parfumo to Bruno Jovanovic. It is a short, clear composition of three notes: spicy ginger, the sweet and fruity maninka fruit and a soft leather base.

What does Boss The Scent Eau de Toilette smell like?

It opens on ginger, bright and gently spicy, giving an immediate warm sparkle.

The heart is maninka fruit, a sweet, slightly boozy fruity note that gives The Scent its recognisable character.

The base is a soft, suede-like leather that keeps the sweetness smooth and close to the skin.
