There’s a new fragrance for 2024 in the BOSS Bottled line. BOSS Bottled Absolu Parfum Intense is the latest scent that’s been added to the line, right in time for autumn and winter.

How does this stack up in the much loved Bottled line?

This could be the best yet! I am very impressed with this scent, and it could be the best new fragrance for 2024.

Here’s what BOSS Bottled Absolu Parfum Intense smells like, and everything you need to know.

This scent comes on the back of Hugo Boss Bottled Elixir which was released back in 2023, a very pleasant addition to the Bottled line.

So, what does this new scent have to offer?

What Does BOSS Bottled Absolu Parfum Intense Smell Like?

When I first smelled BOSS Bottled Absolu Parfum Intense I instantly liked it. Actually no, I loved it.

It has that wow factor, and is such an inviting smell. It’s a smoky, leathery, dark and intoxicating smell that immediately draws you in.

The leather, incense and myrrh work brilliantly together with patchouli and cedarwood which gives that woody, warm spicy and aromatic scent.

There’s no doubt that this one is very masculine and grown up, modern and an incredibly nice to smell. I get similar vibes from this as I do with Gucci Oud Intense, which is never a bad thing.

It’s a fantastic fragrance, and it could be the best new release in 2024.

I have no doubt that BOSS Bottled Absolu Parfum Intense will get compliments.

To sum this up, it could be considered close to a niche fragrance but in a designer fragrance bottle and price point.

BOSS Bottled Absolu Parfum Intense Pros And Cons

BOSS Bottled Absolu Parfum Intense Bottle

The BOSS Bottled Absolu Parfum Intense is in-keeping with the bottle of the rest of the family in the Bottled line up.

It’s a round cylindrical bottle with the new BOSS logo debossed, along with Bottled Absolu written in gold. It’s a translucent dark brown colour that’s almost opaque, and gradients down in colour to gold.

The bottle top and atomiser is a luxe gold colour, and speaking of the atomiser, that’s also good, giving a nice coverage to the spray.

It’s available in 50ml, 100ml and 200ml bottle sizes, and I have it here in a 100ml bottle.

A suit, a crisp white shirt, good plain knitwear are all perfect choices for clothing to wear with this scent.

Since it has that leather note, a leather jacket could also be worn with this one, although it’s more of a classy type of scent, rather than rugged.

Who Is BOSS Bottled Absolu Parfum Intense For?

I feel that with the dark notes and the masculine style to BOSS Bottled Absolu Parfum Intense, it’s more suited to a mature guy.

Not too mature, I am talking about 25 and over, but this scent gets better with age, meaning the older you are the more you’ll appreciate wearing this.
