Hugo Boss Bottled is a fragrance from 1998. On the 10-year anniversary, the brand relaunched it in a new, more modern bottle. It featured chrome and played up the idea of power and masculinity that the brand wanted to showcase for this fragrance. Hugo Boss Bottled has a decent woody and spicy scent. It is bold and warm for a man who wants to be in charge.
This cologne opens with a nice fruity punch of apple, plum, lemon and bergamot. It also brings in some geranium for floral greenness and oakmoss for a touch of earthiness. The complex opening then moves nicely into the heart with woody mahogany and sweet carnation before a touch of cinnamon spices things up. The base shines with more woody and earthy notes, including cedar, olive tree and sandalwood. It has a touch of vanilla to add a warmth and sweetness to the dry down.
Hugo Boss Bottled has a sharpness to it that lies on top of a woody base. It is fresh and bright while also being a little fruity and spicy. The profile is rather complex and will keep everyone guessing. It has an excellent balance in the blending that produces a fragrance that is very pleasing to the nose. It has a classic feel to it and a vintage vibe that is reminiscent of the 1990s. Anyone who smells this will immediately recognize it.
This cologne is an eau de toilet. It is a woody, spicy fragrance family option for men.

While Hugo Boss targets men with this fragrance, it could work for women, too. It has so many intriguing elements that can please both genders.
As an eau de toilette, there may be an urge to apply this too heavily. That is a mistake. A light wear is possible with normal application. Applying too heavy will distort the fragrance, so it is better to avoid doing that and simply reapply throughout the day as needed.
Eau de toilettes have a typical wear time of four to five hours. Hugo Boss Bottled tends to last slightly longer, verging on the lower wear time of higher oil concentrations. So, it wears well. However, body chemistry and environment do play a role in longevity. Avoid applying on dry skin and wearing in hot atmospheres for longer wear.
