Cheap, Good packaging, smells great
Well as you have gathered from my other reviews i am totally addicted to buying perfume lol. I am sure eventually you will get fed up with reading these reviews but i sure hope not, cos there is still plenty i have not done lol. So i hope this one is as good as my others.
Abit about Hugo Boss
--------------------------------
Hugo Boss is a fashion company that is based in Germany. They specialise in menswear, womenswear and frangrances plus many more items. The brand is named after its founder Hugo Boss.
Hugo Boss was first established in 1923, while the country was still in economical ruin after World War 1. Boss later died in 1943, and the firm was at a stand still until 1953, when the first mens suit was released.
In 1993, Hugo Boss released their first fragrance, and in September 2003 they released Hugo Boss Intense.
The fragrance brands Hugo, Hugo Boss and Baldessarini are currently owned by Proctor and Gamble.
The Packaging
----------------------
The bottle is light red at the bottom, and half ay up the shade goes darker and goes into a deep red till it turns black. The lid is also black in colour and the lid is easily removable. The bottle has Boss wrote across the bottom in black letters, while it has the word Intense wrote down the side in red letters.
The box is the exact same design as the bottle, and is well cellophane wrapped, so you know your perfume has not been tampered with.
I love the way the colours have colours of the bottle has been designed. The colours blend in really well together and they look really nice.
The smell
---------------
Boss Intense is a blend of Vanilla Orchid and Ambery Notes. The smell of this perfume is so powerful and distinctive. This perfume is strictly feminine, that is sensual with a touch of sophistication.
The smell of Vanilla Orchid, does overpower the amber, but not by too much and the two smells do blend well together.
I would discribe this as a flowery smelling perfume, with a hint of Vanilla essence. I would say it`s a sweet smelling perfume, but it is not too sweet, just the right blend of sweetness.
I do love the smell of this perfume and i would definatly go out and purchase it again.
Whats the difference between Eau De Parfum n Eau De Toilette?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Eau De Parfum - This contains around 7-15% perfume concentrate. This provides a longer lasting frangrance. I myself personally do find it to be the best, as it does last a long time, and you are not forever having to respray it to keep the scent on you.
Eau De Toilette - This contains around 1-6% perfume concentrate. This makes it a lighter scent that does not last as long as Eau De Parfum.
Eau De Parfum does not cost that much more than the Eau De Toilette, so i would highly recommend going for that, for a little extra cost.
Prices and Sizes
-------------------------
These Bottles are available in three sizes :
30mls
50mls
90mls
There is several sites that i have got the prices for the bottles from, i only got the prices for the 50 mls though as it would start to get boring listing all three sizes lol.
escentual.co.uk - 50mls £31
fragrancedirect.co.uk - 50mls £19.99
boots.com - 50mls £31
cheapsmells.com - 50mls £21.50
As you can see from these prices it does pay to shop around for cheaper prices, i always use fragrancedirect as they are cheap and very efficient.
Any advise you can give before i try this perfume?
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The only advise i can really give is, if you are unsure as to whether you would like this or not, try out a tester in boots. As obviously this smell would not be for everyone. Also when buying over internet once opened you can not return the product, so always best to check them out first.
Also i would advise for the first spray, to only spray a slight bit on your wrist, and make sure your skin is still ok 24 hours later. You never knoew, you could have an allergic reaction to some of the ingredients, so a skin test is always recommended.
My personal thoughts
------------------------------
As i have purchased alot of perfumes in the past i have come across alot of nice smells, but this one was definatly a unique smell. I really did like this smell, and the perfume stayed on for hours, which is great, as i felt i had really got my moneys worth.
Now to whether i would purchase it again, Definatly, but first i am too busy trying out new perfumes lol, so many more reviews to come. I like to have a change of smell after i have finished a bottle of perfume.
This is definatly a perfume i would recommend and i would say you can wear it at anytime as the smell is not too over-powering.
Why would i recommend this perfume?
------------------------------------------------------
It`s cheap
Good bottle design and packaging
Great smell
Not too strong
Sweet but not too sweet
Lasts for hours
Why would i not recommend this product?
----------------------------------------------------------
Well there is no reason why i would not recommend this proctuct, it is truly great value.
As you can see from my review, you can get a good bargain on this perume, so why not go out buy some and give it a try, i am sure you will not be disappointed.
Thanks for reading my review i hope you found it hlpful xxxx

Don`t wear this to work...you`ll muddle men`s mind!
I have 3 or 4 favorite scents that I wear according to my mood and to the environment(s) I will be wafting through, leaving my fragrance behind. Now, "Boss Intense," sounds like it would be appropriate for the office - the Boss Woman part, especially. And this eau de parfum is certainly made for strong, confident women who mean business - but outside the workplace, please! Wearing Boss Intense to work would simply muddle men`s minds. Which is our object...but...after 6:00 PM or before 8:00 AM. N`est pas?
Seductive, erotic, sultry, daring, Boss Intense allures, and yes, it is intense. This is not your fresh, feminine jeune fille, girly-girl fragrance. The woman who wears this means business. See? I knew business would come in here somewhere. She`s the boss, in charge, if only for a night. She makes the moves and he is under her spell, wrapped around her little finger - just where he wants to be. She teases with her scent, a rich mixture of spice, vanilla orchid, warm woods, and the "orange glow of amber radiates its warmth through the other notes giving an overall aura of passion and sensuality." She entices with her edgy sophistication, and independent spirit.
I love it! Ralph Lauren used to make a super seductive fragrance back in the 1980`s called "Tuxedo." Since the line was discontinued, I have never found anything as sexy - until "Boss Intense by Hugo Boss for Women." The bottle should be marked "Dangerous." Remember, less is more. This is not a cloying perfume unless you make it so by overdoing it. A dab at pulse points should last the night. If you can no longer smell it on yourself, you may just be too used to it. Ask someone? And carry a mini bottle in your purse. You can pick one up at any fragrance/cosmetic store along with a tiny funnel.
ENJOY! And remember to make him say thank you!!
