The Scent
The Scent by Hugo Boss is a masculine-leaning eau de toilette from 2015 in the designer price tier. It opens with ginger and mandarin, moves into lavender and leather and dries down to cedarwood and white musk. Expect around 7 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
- Mandarin Soft, sweet, almost powdery citrus. Gentler than orange.
Heart
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
- Leather Smoky, dry and a bit animal. Can be a new jacket or an old saddle.
Dry-down
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- White Musk Clean, soft, laundry-like. The 'smells like nothing but better' note.
