Hugo Boss Bottled Intense EDP Review

I would define Hugo Boss Bottled Intense Eau de Parfum’s look as classic, as you would expect with any Boss cologne. The dark fluid is housed in a stylish and instantly recognizable perfume bottle packed in a matte dark gray carton.

The flacon is familiar because it’s similar to the one the pillar fragrance came in, only darker. Engraved on its face are the brand name and the name of the fragrance, with the word BOSS appearing in bold letters. Also, the box sports a silhouette of the fragrance bottle. 

One remarkable thing about Bottled Intense EDP is that the packaging includes the tasting notes (check the back). This makes it super easy to know what notes are contained in the fragrance and gives you an idea of what aromas to expect.

This dark juice is available as an Eau de Parfum. You can get it in two sizes; 50 and 100 ml (1.69 and 3.38 fluid ounces), each with an atomizer that works well.

Boss Bottled Intense Eau de Parfum is a masculine composition brimming with spices, woods, and concentrated precious oils.

It has a luxurious, slightly sweet aroma that’s not only appealing but also captures the character and strength of the modern man. 

Green apple, vanilla, and cinnamon are the primary accords in Hugo Boss Bottled Intense. The fragrance unfurls with fresh apple balanced with gentle orange blossom.

Next comes a spicy middle, starring spicy cinnamon, cloves, and geranium. The middle layer rests above a base of precious woodsy accords wrapped in dusty vanilla.

Underlying the opening notes is a bubblegum quality (probably from the orange blossom) that tones down somewhat as the fragrance develops and warm woods enter the mix.

Once the initial sweetness lessens, Bottled Intense EDP becomes even better. The final drydown leaves behind a spicy vanilla backed by woodsy accents from sandalwood, vetiver, and cedar.

When it comes to performance, Hugo Boss Bottled Intense did not disappoint. It delivers a hefty punch that will leave you satisfied. 

Expect approximately 8 to 10 hours of longevity with moderate projection from this cologne. Indeed, you will only need 2 to 4 quick sprays for day-long coverage, and this is enough for people around you to notice the attractive scent bubble surrounding you. Moreover, this cologne is a crowd-pleaser, so be ready for compliments.

During colder days, you can expect even more staying power from Hugo Boss Intense. As a matter of fact, the vanilla note becomes more prominent.

Quick Note: I recommend aiming for two to four sprays when applying cologne, while experts advise men to exercise restraint – less is best. Check out this enlightening post for a more detailed discussion on the same.

Boss Bottled Intense suits men aged above 30 years. This fragrance works best for me as a daily scent during colder months. Generally, winter and fall have the most suitable temperatures for spicy, oriental, and woodsy notes, allowing them to shine.

Occasion-wise, you can wear Hugo Boss Bottled Intense practically anywhere, meaning it can be your go-to scent during fall and winter. Nonetheless, the scent is not appropriate for hot summers.

Hugo Boss is synonymous with fashion-forward apparel, and their fragrances mimic this ethos, delivering luxury sophistication for today’s discerning fragrance enthusiasts. With Bottled Intense EDP, we get a deep, rich composition that begs you to savor its enriching experience.

Hugo Boss Bottled Intense Eau de Parfum can be summed up in 4 words; Masculine, entrancing, classy, and versatile. The iconic scent delivers what it promises; a powerful blend of luscious woods, spices, and precious oils to echo the strength and confidence of today’s man. Furthermore, it lingers for a long while.

Do I recommend a blind buy? Yes, I do – if you are not averse to sweet fragrances, that is. What’s more, this one’s a keeper.

Guys who loved wearing Boss Bottled in the 90s would do well to try out this amplified version. The OG’s DNA is still present, though this version is less sweet. Still, the EDP will offer a nostalgic, more intense ride down memory lane.
