Boss Orange for Men is a powerful scent that embodies free, optimistic and joyful spirit of a man. That man is passionate, casual, spontaneous and relaxed. The composition is intensely spicy with notes of fresh apple, vanilla, warm incense and exotic African Bubinga wood.

The brand chose the actor Orlando Bloom for their campaign, as his appearance, his style, personality and cool attitude perfectly embody the image of the Boss Orange brand. The campaign is shot by the photographer Steven Klein.

Boss Orange for Men is available from 1st February 2011 as 60 and 100 ml EDT with an accompanying collection including 60 and 100 ml after shave lotion, 75 ml after shave balm, 150 ml deodorant spray and 75 ml deodorant stick.

This is an awesome fragrance!!Great scent plus it stays in your clothes for days if you don't wash em!! Ypu will still smell traces of it even after washing them. Even though it stays close to the skin, it lasts very long. 8-10 hours. Projection is quite good.

Scent : 8.5/10
Sillage : 7/10
Longevity : 10/10

I love it!

To some this might be a flanker to boss bottled or boss#6 (which is the same) But this is really a bit sweeter, less syntehetic and where boss bottled doesnt change much. This does. I really like the way it changes from this sweet fragrance into something sweet with a twist to something manly. Beautifully done!

Playful and casual really describes this scent nicely. Quite sweet with a vivid fresh-spicy edge that balances the quirky yet pleasant, almost Juicy Fruit gum vibe. I am a bit surprised there is no actual orange fruit here go figure... Its warm character does hint at Boss Bottled, but only slightly; a good alternative, especially for weekends.
Not recommended for periods of physical exertion as tends to go slightly sour with perspiration.

A sweety, almost candy, basic orange scent which goes close to skin quickly, but stays there for 10 hours...

I applied 6 heavy sprays..

0- 1.5 hours. 1 foot projection, subtle but sometimes intermittent to that size. Wow, delicious smell, just like orange sweeties or orange fizzy pop.

1.5 hours - 2.5 hours - 7 inch projection. Linear scent, may not appeal at all to the lovers of niche or complex frags

2.5 hours - 7 hours. Close to the skin, perhaps 1 inch projection tops and I have to smell the skin I applied it to to get a whiff, but it is still like orange sweeties and light hearted good fun

7 hours - 10 hours. Close to the skin. Drydown turns into an almost white floral which is very, very sexy feminine..

I wish they had extended out the projection to at least 6 inches for at least 5 hours - I just want to smell it for myself, its nice and cute, light hearted fun, perhaps not something I would wear long term, but would chill me out nonetheless!

This is a 'grower' scent. The first time you smell it you'll see it as just another scent, however after the third of fourth time you will start to love it.

It lasts a good amount of time, I could still smell it on myself after about six hours.

I would say it is a good one to have in your collection. There maybe better ones out there but this is one you can always rely on.

Scent: 7.5/10

recently got this as a present and it last's AGES, it's a warm scent but there's barely any hint of orange, the bottle is good but can be uncomfortable to hold. reminds me of D&G 11, LA Force as it's a strong vanilla scent.

Hugo Boss, as a brand, has always walked a delicate line between polar opposites: it has the mystique of an high-end designer label, yet its products are affordable enough that it has mainstream appeal as well. That brand identity extends to its perfumes - every new scent looks like it will showcase something new and unexpected, but most of the time it's just a variation on a theme.

Take Boss Orange, for example. I admit, I probably should have known better, but I just couldn't resist buying the giftset with the body wash and deodorant. The bottle is definitely cool, offering an interesting "ab-like" glass case.

The fragrance itself? To me, I mostly get apple and just a hint of orange. Boss Orange is akin to cooking apple slices topped with orange zest in an oven and smelling the results. It's certainly a nice combination, but it doesn't really do much to set itself apart from similar fragrances on the market. I also don't get much of the "incense" vibe out of this. As others have mentioned, it smells like a low-rent D&G's The One. Strangely enough, the sales clerk who cashed me out gave me a sample of One - one sniff of that, and I started wondering whether I'd made the right call on this or not.

Longevity is decent, but nothing to write home about. On my skin, the fragrance dials down to virtually nothing, and stays that way for several hours. It also seems as though projection is on the spotty side - I've had people stand up close to me and never comment on it, and others mentioning it when I hardly apply any.

At the end of the day, Boss Orange for Men is a safe, dependable fragrance that won't rock the boat. It's good enough as a summer scent (especially if you like hints of apple or incense), but if you've tried one "orange" fragrance, you've tried them all. Personally, I'd stick with D&G's The One or Boss Bottled.

Slightly woody, slightly sweet, in the same way D&G The One for Men is. But to my nose it's more like a light version of Boss Bottled itself. If you have two of those, chances are good you don't feel so thrilled about ":¬).

sushi.jelly

it's a warm, spicy perfume that you can actually almost wear all around the year.

The opening is very bright apple with warm/exotic spices.
Then it get a lil bit smoky. as the apple kind fades away and the vanilla, fruity note grows.
Finally, the dry down is beautiful with vanilla and wood.

Projection is really really good.
Lasting power is fantastic.

The first time I smelled it I felt in love with its fragrance. I dont know why, and believe me I have read the notes but I feel some tangerine note that makes me love it even more. I also feel the sensual vanilla and the woods, but not the orange described here.
This perfume is for someone younger than 50, I can use it day or night and in any season.
To be honest is the first Boss creation I have enjoyed. A must I might say!

I like this. The very first moments and the very end is the best. Boss Orange for men is sweet and stinky like apples, spices, incense, vanilla, and fermenting wood. It all starts off really fresh but fades and becomes sort of bland. Do I really want to go with this apple scent? Then It finishes nicely. That wasn't noticable from the tiny free sample towelette Hugo Boss sent me. But it's not bad. It's worth trying if you can get a good healthy test spritz from a fragrance counter.

This is an exceptional fragrance, in my opinion. I first noticed it on a coworker and was wowed by the rich, warm, spicy fragrance. Very masculine. No question about it. It projects and lasts all day. Powerful stuff and a delight to the nose. Warm, spicy, woodsy. In short, everything you could want in a gentlemen's fragrance. I bought some right away and I'm just loving it.

"Not bad" kinda describes it the best, its one of those perfumes that everybody will love, doesnt offend anyone, its just an everybodies fragrance WITHOUT charachter... one of those safe choices in fragrances one can always use, be it at work, when chillin or clubbin... I havent tested it to the core to give any hints on the longevity and projection but its a good generic fragrance... I believe too only the edp of this would be more worth the money.

I think this is easily a unisex fragrance. The combination of apple, incense and wood has created a lovely warm and natural scent that is appropriate for men or women. There is no alcohol or chemical smell to this. I'm pleasantly surprised, and will consider buying a bottle. I think the name Orange comes from the sensual, sunny, and easygoing nature of the colour.

Weak is not the appropiate word to this fragance because in sillage & longevity was a nice surprise. Everyone knows the concept in hugo boss fragances; generic, mainstream, popular, for blind noses, etcetc, sometimes is hard to take distance of those adjetives because Boss house deserve it, but there are some things for "Orange" that are in other basket . Every fragance house has jewels and disasters, Hugo Boss tried to suit a fragance with a nice, comfortable, mainstream notes to be easy to enjoy, i know we find it generic but i like in reason that has some relation to one of my favorite "bottled", not like a autocopycat hugo formulated a nice fruity-fresh-semi oriental smell, the apple notes at first minutes are lovely, the medium phase in some spicy/semi aromatic line is soft and mild, an insence tune is there just to add a confidence and sexy feeling.. is not bad, just a simply versatile, easy, relaxed and maybe a little sexy smell surely for some noses.

To all of you who think of oranges: "Orange" is Boss' sub-brand, not the fruit they bottled ;-)

Me, I find this one pleasing, as its sweet smell suits spring days that are cooler than expected. However, as any other of Boss' fragrances, it's far too generic to be worn by fragrance lovers.

Overpowering and sour to my nose. I know different scents for different skins but this really was too much. This isn't just a first impression I've tried it three times to the same effect. It's something I'd expect a 16 year old to wear without much thought.

I reviewed this when it first came out and completely slated it. However, I gave it another go and i ready to eat my words. I sprayed it again and did not bothere smelling my arm again for a while. I kept getting a nice musky smell from somewhere ( i had sprayed a load of different scents). Lo and behold it was my previous nemisis Boss Orange. It is not remotely original or classy but if you havent already got Boss in motion then you could do worse than this. With that heavy creamy musk the longevity is great.

Although there are no notes of orange, or orange flower, there is definitely an orange scent!

My first impression after sampling this new perfume was "Summer by Boss". A summer featuring a true Hugo Boss scent.

There are traces of leather, the wood definitely radiates along with the spices and incense.

Well done Hugo Boss!

Tried it, is a very casual and relaxing scent as it blend oranges in it. Too bad, the notes appear to be very linear and I can only detect from light to heavy orange scent. It might not be groundbreaking or creative, but very safe scent for day time. Longevity is normal, 3 hours on me. Overall this is just another scent that make you recall a lot popular scent our there. 5/10 from me.

p.s. if you don't like orange or smell heavily on citrusy orange, skip this one.

Well, ok don't expect miracles from Boss. Similar to other Boss perfumes, it has the ubiquitous vanilla / woods notes. The lasting power is not bad. Not an innovation in perfumery but there have been worse ones than this. It could make for a safe, everyday use fragrance. 2/5 i would think

I have tried this afew times now and have been trying to work out where I have smelled the basic composition before. Then it can to me in a wild crzy perfumista swirly dream. For those of you who remember boss in motion green edition, this is its older brother. The one that got better grades and married the girl his mother liked. The smell is very similar but this is more matured, less aquatic, more nuttier and warmer, but still with an edge. The initial scent is tres fantastic but changes quickly, to a safe, likeable warm fragrance which lasts long enough.I have to admit I prefer the more rebellious younger brother, boss green ball was magnificant and naughty. When I saw boss was doing a cologne titled orange, I was half expecting another ball that dribbles the scent rather than spray it so happy with the result. Overall this is a good fragrance from the Boss House, one of their better recent attempts!Enjoy before everyone buys it.

Ah, Boss Orange Man. Is this a new fake tanning lotion for guys??

Well, my favourite orange SA accosted me with this last weekend, claiming it was 'Gorgeous'. I said, 'It's OK... what do you think about this?' giving her my Dior Homme Intense soaked wrist. She wrinkled up her pretty little nose and said it was 'an acquired taste'.

Well, that's it in a nutshell. Most new frags are destined to be gifts or impulse buys and have to be an easy win with everyone to rack up the big sales. Superficially speaking, Boss Orange Man IS gorgeous, but like Dior Homme it will need to be 'Intensified' or 'Extremed' to be a truly great frag.

The opening smells like orange flavouring in a chewable vitamin pill. It's a bit artificial but is still very pleasant. The standout spice to my nose is clove. The middle notes are dire, I got more or less 'nothing'. Yep, the frag actually disappeared! The base, however, is very nice indeed. It smells, as others have mentioned, like a muted D&G The One. The dry and woody basenotes come over as being very sophisticated, and also do this cool thing where they weave in and out of sight (smell?).

An Orange Man Intense in EdP form would be a far more interesting proposition. Until then I will stick to my 'acquired tastes'!

I thought that this is one would be at least interesting featuring incense but it's very, very mediocre, the incense is totally muted by the boring fruits.Overall, it's something sweet-woody "nothing". I do not expect novelties from the Boss brand, they have a certain style in their perfumes and I don't think they willing to change it, it's money after all, but a try would be highly appreciated, thrill us just a bit. No wonder that the modern perfumery keeps on recycling the same style on and on... I'm just waiting for the moment when a new Cool Water or a new Angel will change things. Till then, I'll keep on enjoying the real stuff.

Messy fruity opening, which then blends into an overly sweet woody fragrance. Way too easy for my nose, but prolly loved by the younger generation.

I'll stick with the other Hugo's...
Or Allure, which does the same trick, but in a much more gentle way.

It is really nice, spicy and woody, casual but sophisticated scent.
It opened with a kind of banana-ry musk scent, which I thought was absolutely gorgeous.
Only problem for me is that scent dies off after about 5 minutes, to make way for the spicy drydown, which smells, to me, just like D&G the one, or Gucci Envy, or even like Beckham Intimitely to an extent.
Its a very nice scent, but if you already own anything smoky and spicy, you might be doubling up.
Longevity is pretty good though
One of their better works of late, those aquatic fresh scents were beginning to bug me.

Tested it today, but i think they tried to create something like bottled.
I think thats a bad way, and it cant compete with bottled.
So for me it is a Fail!
I hoped for something new, but jonnyboy allready mentioned that it might smell similair to bottled,
he is wright.
But too bad, long not as good as bottled.
I stick with bottled and rather buy a new bottled.

A 100% Boss scent, so well done. I was surprised that every note from the list is here. Boss Orange is some soft spicies and woods on a base of sweet (vanilla) apple. Such fragrances usually come out in the Boss In Motion line (Boss in Motion Black for example), but this one is spicier and less synthetic. Yeah, similar to D&G The one, but more fruity and "young". I love it!

Looking at the notes, it may smell similar to Boss Bottled. I hope Hugo Boss is not just recycling old classic bestsellers they have. I still want to try it anyway. I am alway a sucker for colognes with vanilla. Love the bottle. Reminds me of Dolce & Gabbana's The One.
