Boss Bottled Infinite
Herbs are what set Hugo Boss Boss Bottled Infinite Eau de Parfum apart from the rest of its family, and they are the reason it is the most interesting of the Bottled flankers to actually wear.
The opening is familiar enough: apple, crisp and green, with cinnamon's dry bark spice behind it and mandarin orange adding a sweeter, rounder citrus lift. Sage arrives in the same breath and changes the picture entirely, bringing a grey green, slightly woolly bitterness that most mainstream fragrances would not risk.
That herbal thread widens in the middle. Lavender is clean and faintly camphorous, soapy in the best barbershop sense, and rosemary beside it is sharper and more medicinal, almost pine like in its brightness. Patchouli sits underneath them both and keeps the whole arrangement from floating off, dark and earthy and a little damp.
The base is short and well chosen. Sandalwood gives a soft, creamy warmth, and olive wood is the unusual one, dry and faintly green with a nutty quality that does not behave like other dry materials. Together they make a finish that is smooth without being sweet, which is the hardest trick in this part of the market.
Annick Ménardo is credited with it, and it reached the shops in 2019. Eau de parfum strength gives seven or eight hours, forward for the first hour and close thereafter, and it suits spring and autumn better than deep summer. It reads male and it works for the office, for daytime and for anything that does not require a tie. The company itself was famous for tailoring long before it sold any scent at all. It has worked out of Metzingen since 1924 and has left perfume to licensees since 1984.
