Deep Red by Hugo Boss

diabolicalsister

I've got this on my left wrist, and Burberry Brit on my right. For the first couple of hours, I can't tell the difference. The only notes they share are pear (which I can't smell) and vanilla, but they smell identical on me. BOTH smell pretty sexy, sugary, and gingery. BOTH have the same lasting power and sillage- good and good. It's not 'till hour 4 that Brit turns a *teensy* bit bubble-gummier and Red turns a *teensy* bit woodsier. The difference is so hard to find (on my skin at least) that I think I'll just buy whichever is cheaper.

I got this as a second hand cast-off. I quite liked it back in my later teenage years but I probably wouldn't have brought it myself. I have moved on.

farfalla

I really love it... it's my "night out" fragance :)

Tulipano

It is Hugo's signature!
I have it & i will continue to have it. Super- sexy!

my 1st year at collage ,young,naive that stage which u say
''UM NOT AGURL ,NOT YET AWOMAN ''

thats HUGO DEEP RED!!

sweet,strange and just can swing with ur mood, t can be so pleasant or dark as hell!!
for me it reminds me with alot of good memories ..1st time i sniff it was about 9 years ago on afriend and i luved it at once, then i got it after ayear 90ml bottle and still have it yet,
usually i dunt wear it that much ,when i purchase it there was a DEEP RED bomb burst in my country through 2003,2004 it was the most popular fragrance for females around, u can smell it every wher ,so i just kept it away..
now rarly u hear the name so i get it again on my board , and i recognized how sweet it is, so feminine,sweet and warm with a great musky,vanilla ginger base
its weird fragrance ,but i like it

I love this perfume since 2003 
It‘s really deep, and sweet, long lasting ,so sexy on me  Lots of man, telling me the compliments, that I smell very good and seductive, and then I am with „deep red“ my colleagues at work, always says that this perfume is perfect on me.
Even I am in business negotiation I choose this perfume.

queenssess

"I love you lady of chochlate smell" said the younger lover of mine affected by the vanilla notes of th eprefume. I myself loved this scent from the deepest part of my heart since it was the one to make feel as charming as a queen of the night...

little Cinderella

Very seductive,smokey and dark but in a good way;it makes you feel sexy and confident. the only problem was lasting power which was bad on my skin :(

ktv0926

Sweet and delicious, simple, easy to like, warm, very agreeable with the skin. That’s the pros. As for the cons – not very memorable or intriguing, lacks innovation and thus a bit boring. To sum up – Deep Red would make a nice casual fragrance, without a wow factor or potential to become a keeper.

amber_glow

I really like ginger. And this fragnance is really cool. I can smell the ginger. But the scent is soo light that even the edp tester disappeared after 10 min or so. I have to take a shower with this for a little scent. Not worth buying because of this lightness.

derqueen

This perfume is nice and everything but not a must have.

ahnafuz

nice perfume, a bit heavy
generally fruity florals are light , but this one is heavy ,, some touch of oriental

ananda

This one is weird! At least on my skin... I could swear it has a rubber note, actually it was mainly rubber on me! It smelled like a weird blend of vanilla, leather and a lot of rubber rubber wih an almost imperceptible hint of giner.
Deep Red didn't work out with my body chemistry. Funny, I really thought I would like this one...

Puma

Too strong, too spicy, too much vanilla in it. I would say it belongs to oriental vanilla group.

ninichka

It's a very boring smell..I just bought it and after a while I couldn't even smell it..and all my friends are like me..at first they adore it, and after a while they almost hate it.

moonwalker

One of my favourites. I have noticed that I am fond of perfumes which have black currant in them but oh my....first spritz of this is way too much black currant even for me...but then it nicely settles and I am left with this warm, comforting, ginger vanilla with just a hint of black currant scent...I just love sniffing myself when I wear this one :) On me this one is very deep and sensual, not smokey perfume. It reminds me of V Absolu Valentino, but DR is a bit sharper and stronger.

It may be a bit overpowering if it doesn´t work with your chemistry so definitely do not buy this one unsniffed!!The sillage and lasting power are okay.

albatros

Deep Red is a very sexy perfume with excellent lasting power. It's not for summer (it could be too much for hot days).

mandashell

Oh boy, yet another dissapointing unsniffed perfume purchase. ;'( Maybe there is something wrong with my nose but I smell no fruits? What I do smell is a pretty nodescript slightly sweet, mild spiciness. That's it!

This fragrance practically bored me to tears. The lasting power is decent but the projection is minimal. Would hardly describe this scent as bold, sexy or anything else since there isn't much going on. Luckily it doesn't smell very artificial.

People comparing this to Hypnotic Poison must be joking. Only bought this one because I thought it might be fruitier than HP but it isn't. Needless to say I will be looking forward to getting a bottle of HP and selling this one A.S.A.P!

eranaral

I can see both men and women wearing this. The blood orange gives it a nice touch. The cedar is kinda noticeable too. A bit on the cooler side (in a good way ). There is some hint of soapy something in it. Almost like a guy's shower gel.
Lasting is not great. 2-4 hours

danimcneil

This almost smells like a hot bowl of oatmeal, with fresh oranges and berries on it, with confectioners sugar sprinkled on top. (with alot of vanilla in the base!)

La Moon

This reminds me of the first two years of high school. It was one of my first real perfumes. I lovveeed it and still do. It smells like a deep spicy cedar with a touch of citrus vanilla.It smells sophisticated yet still fresh and young. I may just go buy a bottle when i finish my next two.

danimcneil

I bought this today at Khols. Ive been reaserching it for quite a while, and have gone to test it a few times. And now I Finally got mine! TO me, the top notes are red and juicy with just a touch of confectioner's sugar, and then it goes right in to the black currant/ginger/vanilla that i LOVE! If you are a vanilla lover, but want a little spicey/jiucy kick to add to it, this is your juice!

angelic disgrace

omg this has the most overpowering smell of blackcurrant.Totally vile!

taydev

this smells lovely and i was so close to getting it but like everyone else, it just smelled like a much lighter version of kenzo amour or hypnotic poision. probably better for the warmer months or summer nights. for now i'll stick to my poison.

sohailgagai

Trinity

Lush, red, sexy!

Very sensual, but in an upbeat way! "Deep Red" is not too heavy or too serious smelling which, at sometimes, can overwhelm you and others around you.

It is a fragrance for women who are at ease with their sexuality and use it in a playful way!

(Top, middle and base notes have others fragrantica members descript already most perfectly, so therefore, I do not see the need to repeat myself and bore you with those details.)

"Deep Red" stays rather close to my skin….but will still be noticed by others, especially men, and will make you instantly attractive to them!

It is soft enough for office wear, which I find quite remarkable! Seldom do I wear a fragrance more than 2 times in a row. But "Deep Red" is the exception…I wear it since 2 weeks and I am still not tired of it!

Two dumps, way, way up!

jatzzie

Wow! Despite the offputting bottle (I very rarely smell anything that has an ugly bottle or buy one for that matter.), this fragrance is, to be extremely cliche, a total gem! Two days ago I was at a perfumery, debating on if I should buy Deep Red or PR's Black XS and I decided to go with Deep Red and get Black XS later.

So Deep Red...It's rich, dark, soft but nevertheless very edgy, warm, yummy, vanillay, seductive, sweet, superhot, fantastic for going clubbing or out, altho yesterday I wore it during the day as well, to test it, for which I think it is also perfectly suitable for.:) It is currently one of my favorite fragrances out of my own.:D It's eatably yummy, I can't stop sniffing it enough.

Now the bottle...Unofrtunately the bottle to me doesn't bring this fragrance any justice at all...It's not very feminine or well that isn't the main problem, but it's kinda like just this you know, red bottle without any personality.Kind of reminds we of a vase or something, lol.

Don't let the bottle put you off, this perfume is supersexy and I am totally in love with it and shall test its "power" on the weekend.;)

sjanira

I got it not too long ago at kohls but It's too similar to Sui Dreams by Anna Sui so I returned it. It's not a bad scent but doesn't do anything for me.

hotaru

i loooooveee how it makes me feel like a kitten ^^
it is fresh and has a strong impression of a 'cool woman'
the fruity opening, then the 'heavy' yet light smell, and the best part comes in the end. i lovveeee it!and it's my signature perfume :)

TURQUOISE

I agree with Falovalo.. Deep Red is sexy, but not in the "screaming" way!.. It does not demand attention, but it always gets it!
It's not difficult for Deep Red to become one of your favourites!
It's truly feminine, easy going, long lasting and it can be worn in the day in the night combined with the proper mood which will take you off!!

falovalo

Shyly seductive and sexy. The vanilla comes through very much, but not in the overly sweet, sugary way that a lot of people seem to hate. It whispers "Come to me, you can't resist." One of my new faves!!!

Oh, I think it slightly resembles Givenchy's Pi.

BluDreamer7806

Super-Duper Sexy, Bold, Sassy, Sultry, and Provocative. Hugo-Boss Deep Red is one of the sexiest scents that I've ever had the pleasure of wearing. The black current and blood orange in the opening notes kind of pop in your face upon the initial spray. Then the ginger comes into play, which is intriguingly unusal and excitingly strange. It's so deliciously yummy and although there aren't any in the fragrance, I can't help but think of chocolate covered cherries when I'm wearing Deep Red. There's nothing innocent about this perfume. Deep Red is very sensual, exuding all things sexy. Grab the sexiest outfit you own and douse yourself with this sexual concoction, because men love it. Should only be worn by those mature enough to handle it's sensuality. Ideal for passionate, wintry nights.

kastehelmi

I thought I liked it when I smelled it at the department store, but it's far too synthetic/"perfumy" for me...If it smelled fresher and had a more natural, softer dry-down, I think I would really like it.
Anybody have any suggestions for a scent that has a kind of sweetness like this, but a more green, fresh smell?

I can see how many women would like this, but it really doesn't work for me.


Update: I wore it again today, because even though I detect a synthetic quality to this fragrance, it doesn't feel sharp or soapy. I really appreciated this today because the fruit shines through and the fragance doesn't devolve into a boringly pure vanilla-type deal. I think this doesn't last terribly long, and it seems to be very low-sillage.

Update again:Black currant, vanilla, boring...fail.

guest_dropdeadgorgeous

its been my signature scent for years..love it!its sexy yet sweet n very feminine

amandahuang

Deep Red is the type of frangrance that is intellectually sexy which seems to have a different approach to Agent Provocateur's 'shameless seductiveness'. Deep Red is conveying a kind of sexiness that is deeply rooted in a woman's heart and transformed into every movement in life (a smile, a witty conversation, or even a passionate eye contact)...

The opening of this fragrance is very juicy and loud. I really love the exotic touch which comes from the beautifully balanced hibiscus seed, ginger flower & ginger. There is also a cheery-like dilisciousness coming out. Surprisingly the strength of this fragrance only maintains for a short while until the middle note, as for the base I can only detect a very light musky scent.

Trvevil

At first I felt top notes and it smells like washed clothes! It's due to the fact we use fabric softener that smells like these top notes. It's nice and nothing more.
Heart notes are more flowery, I feel tuberose and ginger well and something fruity still too. It's a bit faded already after 2 hours, but I still feel it well. Sillage is not grand, but lasting power seems ok, 4-5 hours.
Like it but don't love. I mean, it smells like washed clothes, don't understand the hype. Nothing seductive or sexy either.

noharadwan

i loved deep red alot , a very warm sentimental.. u can feel very feminine wearing this perfume , ang good lasting power

mirror

I tested it a few days ago and I am not overly impressed...
It is more on the sweet/warm side therefore I find it more soft and innocent than seductive.
Somehow I smell something rosy in it, not pure roses. It is more of a fruity rosy smell with the sweetness of vanilla.
I see it has a little edge to it (I am guessing the ginger) but after all I expected something more exciting.

luz

Head turner ! The best Hugo Boss fragrance in my opinion. Seductive and well blended, not too sweet, overwhelming or fruity. Black Currant with nice oriental undertones. Sensual, but easy going.

tommy_girl

I don't know from where the first notes come to my nose.but at the first sniff it's very spicy and very green.but it becomes mild very soon.
I love the middle notes.it's not a typical floral fruity.to me it smells like black berry,a very rare smelling without any floral dominant scent.the fruity notes are there,without overwhelming.
it's well balanced and it's not repetitive at all.
I see that every body's here is insisting on it's super sexy power.ok,it's sexy,but not to the extend that people over here have described it.
my sister has a bottle of this perfume.she doesn't use it much in fact.I guess it doesn't match her chemistry.not bad,as sometimes I steal some sprays to change my day.

essija

This is really Sexy. Really, I pick up alot of Cedar/Sandalwood and Ginger. Love it. This reminds me of a man too. maybe that is why it's so sexy to me... Love the name.

elm0505

It's sexy and provocative, with some vanilla, freesia and fruity notes. Some time ago I was absolutely in love with Deep Red, but a few months later I ended up finding it non-interesting and artificial, although I don't dislike. I just grew tired of it. I don't think I will buy it again.

missk

It may not be entirely original, but I happen to really love this fragrance. It is the perfect fruity floral for women who are searching for something that is young and sexy but nothing like the cheap-smelling fruity scents on the market. It is surprisingly sweet yet warm and seductive. It's not a fragrance that will make you feel girly and cute, it is more likely to unleash the sex kitten and rouse up the men than be innocent.

I love its unique blend of blackcurrant, spicy vanilla and ginger which is so comforting and feminine on my skin. The fragrance is also very versatile; it could be worn both day and night and is best suited to colder seasons. The lasting power is great too.

Deep Red is such a sensual and almost orgasmic fragrance and one that I can imagine wearing with a tight-fitting black dress and killer high heels on a night that a girl just wants to feel and look stunning.

Cherub573

A little fruity sweet on the intitial spray, then... strong, powdery musk, amber, and vanilla. It turns into a sensuous skin scent. I was tempted to buy this for an evening/clubbing fragrance, but my best friend began wearing it, and I hate smelling the same as other people close to me.

I have smelled several other perfumes that dry down to smell almost identical to Deep Red on me, including Armani Code for Women (lighter, little more floral), and Valentino V (bit sweeter, with an anise-like tang at the beginning).

VioletLily

The first time I tried this, I thought I was in love. A soft berry vanilla with a hint of pear and blood orange. As it dries down, some musky woods come into play, I don't get any of the mid-note florals. It's very nice all round, and does have an interesting note I can't quite place. I've gone through one and a half tester sprays of it, but there's just something lacking that makes me lose interest, even though I'll be sitting there sniffing the air and thinking that it smells good and the guy likes it on me...Deep Red just doesn't quite make it there for me.

PS: It is funny how the notes are so different, yet Deep Red is indeed like a less intense version of Hypnotic Poison, but with berry and without the depth, bitter almond, caraway, PlayDoh and other special bits and bobs HP has to make it the gorgeously intensely sensual scent it is. Hmmm, if you don't like those notes in HP, and you're after something lighter, you might like Deep Red!

vtothek

Sufficiently fruity without being sugary, this is a very nice scent. It's sensual in it's own way, nothing too overt about it. In fact, it's one of those scents that seduces you as the day goes on. The bases of vanilla and sandalwood give it a deeper feel, and while it's good evening wear it's also good for daytime as it's never too intrusive. I have a feeling that this is the type of fruity scent that those who dislike fruity florals will wear - not too young, nor too mature, and pleasant without being too cutesey. Highly recommended.

andreapaz2008

sensual & sophisticated, very attractive and makes your elegance up.
for me only for red nights

Taliera

This was something of a disappointment. According to all the reviews it was going to be a sexy (very sexy), deeply sensual fragrance... I felt "red" when I smelt it, but it was lighter than expected, and quite simple. I suggest if you want the "real" deep red, go for Delices de Cartier, which I think is deeper and more complex.

crm

I absolutly love this perfume! I've been only wearing "Wind Song" and "Baby Soft" for years now, and as soon as I tried this on, i've been hooked! Though every time I try to order it,my computer acts up and deletes every order I make!!!

amanda

its sexy and serious, but i dont like the bottle, and i dont like that boss intense has the same colored bottle, its quite boring, i mean the bottle because the smell is great, longlasting and powerful but still sophisticated and feminine

elgab89

I was surprised about this fragrance (I am not a big fan of ginger), I got it as a present from a friend and pushed it back in my closet. A few days ago I have found it and tried it on my skin and I realized that this is actually a very sexy and sultry scent. It opens strong and fruity, I could smell the blackcurrant and the citrus right away! This does not last long and in comes the tuberose with the ginger - which I would have thought it to be a ghastly combination, however turned into something deep and addictive. It settles in the end for a sweet musky smell ( vanilla + musk). Sorry, I could not detect the cedar at all.
It is a daring fragrance, something that says "Look at me!", for a bold woman. I would wear it on a night out, maybe to a club, dancing.

Kimbo

one of the best fragrances from the Hugo (Hugo Boss) side of the range.
Totally seductive rich and divine..

kittymeow84
