Boss Soul Hugo Boss for men

My wife bought this for me as a surprise....which is nice. But I find this very bland and boring. I'll wear this when I don't want to use a fragrance that I like. Nice for now....but wouldn't buy it.

I was really torn between buying Boss Soul or not. I'm glad I did. Something findly really clicked when I smelled this on me. Now I understand what a signiture scent is. You don't pick it as much as It picks you. I smell tobacco in the opening. Wonderful. That's how I would describe it. I think it's the Tamboti Wood. When that fades away my skin has a pleasant sweet fragrance. I really like that. I noticed the first time I sprayed it was all tobacco because it had not morphed down yet. Unlike my empty sample bottle which smelled sweet. They didn't smell the same at first. But after a day it changed under the cap to match the sample bottle. I love that. That cycle repeats itself everytime one applies it. I love the way it smells. I feel so at ease with this. Soul is a fantastic EDT.

Promising on first spray with a lively, alcoholic, sweet, spicy aroma that you might think would be capable of sustaining interest and maintaining it's own momentum for more than 5 minutes.. but I'm afraid not; it quickly disappears leaving next to nothing on the skin.

For those who like the smell of Boss Soul I would recommend Marks and Spencer's Autograph Intense. It's very similar but lasts a bit longer and is much, much cheaper.

Boss need to think about offering more value to their customers and making fragrances that last longer than the first spritz on the shop floor.

Nice bottle, though.

Pretty nice masculine scent
Pepper and anise is very dominating here
Reminds me Gucci Envy for men, but this is less complex
- But still very good!

I like this one so much! And I'm gonna buy it and wear it and I don't care that this is a male scent...it smells so gooood on my skin! :D

Oriental, Woody, Spicy like cinnamon.. and a hint of Pepper.
This is Love. I've gotten 3 compliments at work from seperate people. It's persistent and Holds very well, even after you can't detect it... it mellows out after a few hours to a wonderfully smooth, almost marshmallow-like sweetness... The initial spice is Delicious.
Wear it with confidence guys. This is a good one.
(girls too! there's enough white watery florals for you to pass it off)

If you are a fan of oriental or woody spicies, but find A*Men too heavy and weird (or gourmand sweet) and Blue Sugar too cloying, or LL Au Masculin too thick, then Boss Soul might fit you better...

As well blended as any from this House; Soul keeps it warm but smooth. It is sweet but spicy, and elegant without being ostentatious. It begins somewhere between the bright sweetness of the citruses and the warm aura of the anise, pepper and cardamom. Though it is a bit warm and heavy on the initial inhale, the exhale is refined and relaxed. Clean and dry lavender adds a bit of elegance. Nutmeg and cinnamon keep it sexy and comfy, and the corriander adds a slight herbal feel. The drydown borders on oriental; as the tonka, vanilla and amber blend seemlessly and the musk adds a bit of raw sensuality. The vetiver (if any) keeps it earthy and drier still. This may be too "tame" for some who like it heavy and sweet, but if you are looking to be noticed (but not overpowering), and subtly intruiging...this does the trick. This scent adds to your mystique. Instead of defining you, it accents you.

Sillage: average
Longevity: decent
Overall: 4/5

Some say "watered down", I say subtle and understated. Too spicy? Never. Sexy?...And how! This scent makes a statement, it just doesn't scream at the top of its lungs. A whisper can say more than a shout does! This scent is great in winter and autumn, but does equally well in the coolness of a spring evening. I would find it a bit much in full summer heat (or a tropical clime). This is the epitome of sexy: warm, smooth and dashing!

Soul of scent

I got the smallest bottle of this fragrance. I wasn't satisfied with it. It smelled cheap to me, the beginning wasn't bad, but after an hour it starts to smell cheap. In south-eastern Europe, there is a brand name for colognes called STR8. This one smells like the most popular one, the STR8 Marine(Blue one). And the STR8 is around for $10 max for the 3.4 oz bottle.
I liked the packaging, I like the shape and size of the bottle, the sprayer is nice. I am an old fan of Hugo Boss, although Im not that old. But this is definitely one of the worst ones. This is one of the two BOSS fragrances I don't like that much! Hopefully no one will give me this as a present for my upcoming birthday!
The silage is good! It has an average longevity, average projection.
Longevity: 4 hours
Projection: 2 and a half hours, after that stays close to the skin and just smells if you get closer.
But I would give it a 7/10 because it is from the Hugo Boss fragrance house and Boss is one of my favorite. It has a good longevity and projection but not my smell, it is the type of smell i like, the Oriental Woody, but I guess some notes don't get along with my nose.

An unexpected surprise by Boss, Soul is a quite interesting perfume, and I must agree 100% with its classification as an Oriental Spicy. It is a thouroughly sensuous fragrance, best reserved for those special moments, at least in my opinion.
I love the way it opens, the way it develops, and I find the way it ends quite satisfactory.
To sum it up, NONE of Boss's other fragrances have impressed me the way Soul has. In fact, I find them terribly suave and impersonal, and utterly lacking in originality. See for yourselves.

Hugo Boss is a brand I usually greet with extreme indifference. Actually, I've always felt that the Boss corporate image lacked 'soul' so things weren't looking too good when I heard about 'Boss Soul'. Thankfully I was proven totally wrong about this one!

This is a rich, opulent, spicy and warm scent with elements of both a masculine and feminine nature. As usual for this type of thing, the freshness of the top notes is fleeting and not really a feature unless you spray onto fabric.

Boss Soul has a confident, distinctive personality based on its wealth of spices. Pepper, cardamom, nutmeg, cinnamon and coriander. It sounds like Ursula Wandel was craving a nice Indian when she made this!(A curry, not a man, although who knows?).

Unfortunately on my skin I sometimes get an actual whiff of curry powder but luckily it doesn't last, soon settling into a comfortably spiced vanillic musk.

Infact, the silage and longevity are only average but that makes it more wearable on a day to day basis. It has a nice executive feel to it and goes well with a suit.

I'm so glad I didn't dismiss Boss Soul based purely on its name, but if Paris Hilton ever releases CanCan Man, you can count me out!

This is well blended perfume,

Nicely bottled,

Im not certain on its lasting power on my body ,

I bought it after seeing all of the ingredients is a mash of my favourites...

Realized, All of your favourite ingredients mashed together wont give the super expected result,

Anyways, its nice on a guy if its really able to last long

This a scent that brings me a lot of luck, maybe one of my daily favorites

I was reading another reviews and I'm agree, this is not a long lasting scent but stills good for me.

I said so.

This is one of the best Bosses. It is masculine, brave, sophisticated. The Vanilla is the most obvious note, it mixed perfectly with the spices and tonka bean, the musk and vetiver strengthen the backbone, holding it up nicely, standing tall.
This may be recommended for older gentlemen by other reviewers, but I beg to differ. When I owned and wore it alot of 20somethings asked me for the name, they wrote it down.

I've smelt alot of older gentlemen's fragrances and Boss Soul doesn't fit in that scene. It's
modern enough for all the young blokes at my work to want it on first smell.
I must remember to buy this one again before it's obsolete.

It feels like a woody scent, but with a strong sense of those ones based on nutmeg. No surprise why this, in my very first try, remembered me the infamous (to my nose) Kenzo Jungle Homme. The nice bottle is not enough to bring me back to Soul.

Might have been my first choice if the longevity was not so ill.

Soul may be the best fragrance to ever come out of the Boss Line (apologies to Selection). Fascinating ingredients are mixed beautifully, and the note layers are intricately woven and radiated clearly, you can sense almost every ingredient in the composition.

Warm, Spicy, Woody, and Sexy, it calls for a modern man in his early 20s/late 30s, confident and genteel.

Sillage : Good
Longevity : 4+ hours
Feeling : Assertive
Feedback : nice

Hi.

It is paradox BOTTLED or IN MOTION as this one have talent for creating scent it is Masculine and Classic.in my opinion it is not much Romantic or Modern.Good scent but not a adorable scent for me.

My first impression of SOUL was Spicy.Warm and Brave and The Cinnamon is obvious too.Generally this is for cinnamon lovers.Perfect for a independent man (between 30/50 years old)

I would not recommend this for Everyday wear The mood and Occasion must be Formal for this Evening fragrance. Definitely for wearning in AUTUMN/WINTER.The bottle is beautiful too.

Sillage?Good.

Lonegvity?Average on my skin.

6/10

Smells dusty, dry and powdery to me. Not bad. Similar to 1881 Black

Know when you enter a famous fresh spicery store, and u smell such fresh active mix of cardamom, nutmeg, & black pepper Plus some undefined old woods! - in a concentrated way. than u feel the old times. that's what I could humbly describe H boss. I classify it as pure Woody Spicy. 8/10

Like a softer, less sweet version of Diesel Zero Plus, this fragrance's strongest notes to me are cinnamon & anise.

I dont really get any of the mandarin or bergamot fruity top notes at all. For me it cuts right to the cinnamon, pepper and spice notes and doesn't really develop too much from there on in.

It's masculine but doesn't shout out about it. That's not to say that I don't like this one, it's just fairly simple & linear. There is a base of vanilla & musk that shows up eventually, but it's very soft so that you almost don't really notice it unless you're sniffing yourself.

Longevity: 3/5
Sillage: 2/5

If you can get it for a good price, I'd say this one is a good casual scent for Autumn or Winter.

P.S. I got mine with shower gel & after shave balm and it projects & lasts a lot longer on the skin after using the creamy (but non greasy) balm.

My boyfriend got it as a present and I asked him not to use it (how rude is that?! haha) He also had an aftershave which I accidentaly smashed in the bathroom, well I wasn't too sad about that - I got a chance to pick another one for him! ^^

It is just too sharp and unpleasant for my nose, I don't know much about mens fragarances andalthough actually the notes look quite nice here... Well there is definetely too much spice in it as I can't even smell the base

You have to get close to my soul to smell this one. Comes off strong, but stays really close to the skin.... but then again, as I'm typing I'm smelling it projecting itself. Hmm... spring and summer heat might make this a bit more noticeable, although it's a fall winter fragrance. It's warm, dark and more mysterious than it is soulful. On top of it all... it's romantic. I love romance.

I bought this, unsniffed, for my husband on the basis of the anise which lasts for the duration into the base notes. I have never had a happier unsniffed purchase and adore this scent on him. It's definately a man's scent though and I'm still searching for a women's scent of the same freshness and lasting quality -It's got soul!

A mediocre scent to say the least. You put it on and from the first moment on you have difficulty to identify anything special about it, then a couple of minutes later it's gone anyway. Best avoided.

modern? you people are seriously lost....
This perfume has an awful smell which smells like something straight out from the 80's.

This perfume would suit a 40+ man, any younger and you'll be ageing real quick.

I want to give a nice present to boyfriend. I really like this one, burberry brit, aqva from bvlgari, etc... any ideas ???? thnx ^^

Es la fragancia nº 1 de mis favoritas. Para mi la mejor que ha sacado Hugo Boss. Moderna, innovadora, diferente y muy masculina.

I really have an affinity for oriental/spicy scents (along with woody-spicy ones) and this is a good one, even if I'm not a fan of HugoBoss perfumes (it seems that all have a note/feeling in common). Boss Soul starts fresh (mandarin, bergamot) and a little creamy-spicy (cardamom, anise, pepper) on the first sniff, and somehow you stop feel it anymore, it has a strong powdery character noticeable from the very beginning, then dries down slowly (1-2 hrs) into a little sweeter version, more oriental/spicy (nutmeg, cinnamon, coriander, lavender) and still very powdery. Overall a feeling of a good, sophisticated and masculine fragrance, after 5-6 hrs remains elegant & creamy, a little sweeter (tonka bean, vanilla, amber), but still there (you catch a nice feel when you expect less), a very well-blended and modern scent. My current rank 8/10.

yeah i like the extra kick in this i think it stands out from all the other fresh woodsy winter scents

great scent and like many boss fragrances this is very masculine and well blended

haha thank god they do not have any female versions of dis PERFECT MAN SCENT no ladiez allowed!!!

like many hugo boss scentz dis is a notch up there and ups ya game cuz

smelled dis in a store bought it online wit deal n get lotz of good responsez n VERY FEW WEAR DIS so itz mo spontaneous

Es una fragancia sofisticada, masculina, muy moderna. Alejada de las maderas, que habla de un hombre especial, viril y etéreo. Perfecto para los que gustan de lo inusitado.
