We’re almost into summer so I thought I’d feature one fragrance which I have owned for years which is good for this time of year. This is Hugo Boss Bottled Sport.
It’s a great scent, but is a flanker from the original. What makes it “Sport” and how does it stack up in today’s fragrance collection?
Here’s everything you need to know.
It’s another look back at an old fragrance, and one which I don’t hear much about, it’s Hugo Boss Soul. I’ve had this scent for a number of years, and here’s everything you need to know.
Hugo Boss has some iconic fragrances. The whole Boss Bottled line is much loved, in particular the original Boss Bottled. Soul is not from that line, and was released in 2005.
Happy T Shirt Tuesday guys!
What has happened to the weather!? Please tell me that the Summer isn’t over yet. Luckily for me, I shot these pictures when the weather was good.
This week for T Shirt Tuesday it’s all about the plain red T Shirt.
As you’ll have read in my Spring Suede Jackets guide, I love a good soft leather jacket.
They’re not only perfect for Spring, but they can be considered an autumn style trend too.
As you’ll know, suede is a type of leather which has a napped finish, with lamb and goat most commonly used, with calf and even deer also being used.
Hugo Boss have added another scent to it’s BOSS Bottled line up, BOSS Bottled Oud which is brand new for 2015. As with tradition within the range, the bottle is the same design as the others, a cylindrical shape with the BOSS wording elegantly etched into the glass, with the branding Hugo Boss Bottled Oud.
The same classic scent, wrapped in a collector’s edition body. I recently received a timeless scent which is quite coveted in the world of men’s fragrances, BOSS Bottled. For the 15th year anniversary of this iconic scent, BOSS created a collector’s edition, which is the same exact smell which everyone loves, wrapped in a brand new, dark grey opaque bottle.
As always I got a lot of men’s fragrances and other beauty and style type products, perfect for a style blogger or someone that reviews fragrances…That would be me! 😉 I pretty much have every scent which I want now, yeah, I do have 80+ at last count, but I got some key aftershaves which so many people like, classics which are coveted by many.
I had been looking at getting BOSS Bottled by Hugo Boss for a while, but Christmas was coming up so I held off and asked to get it for the festive season. I was lucky and they were doing a collectors edition so I ended up getting that. I can claim to be a collector, since I have Unlimited, Bottled Sport and Bottled night as well as this, the original albeit in the collection black bottle.
I’m on to my third variation of Issey Miyake too; This time Pour Homme. I do really like it, and I know it’s highly thought of by many. It is really nice, and is as clean as the bottle looks.
I got Noir by Tom Ford last year and I love it, this time round I went for Grey Vetiver and it’s so nice! To round it out I got a new scent, MAN by Jimmy Choo, but just a small bottle. All the scents I got apart from the Jimmy Choo I would describe as lighter day wear scents rather than the musky woody evening ones. I have so many of them I wanted a more rounded collection, so went for these. But make no mistake about it, these are so good, and I will be wearing them often, on nights out, and you can expect a more in depth look at each one in my fragrance reviews which will be coming 🙂
One of my favourite hair products is hair way by Sacha Juan. It’s expensive at £20 a tub, but will last me a while. I don’t use the same one each day, I like to vary it and usually use this one sparingly. It has a slightly buttery/neutral smell to it, non-greasy and works well in short hair.
It wouldn’t be Christmas without a little bit of Dermalogica, and the usual smelly stuff like deodorants and the Soap And Glory Men’s Kit.
Boss Bottled Unlimited is the latest fragrance from Hugo Boss, inspired by the BOSS man’s determination and drive for success. This limited edition energizing scent is available to buy now, but be quick, because it is only on sale for a limited time. It’s a real summer style of scent, so would be perfect at this time of the year for Father’s Day.
Christmas is now over, but one of the things I love about it is that I get a whole load of new EDT’s and fragrances. This year I got 5 new ones which I have not had before, plus a large 100ml bottle of The One by Dolce And Gabbana, a scent I have loved since it came out years ago.
The new ones are Hugo Element by Hugo Boss, Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb, Diesel Only The Brave Tatoo, Calvin Klein Encounter and Thierry Mugler A*Men.
The Hugo Element is definitely the most fresh smelling, and is probably better suited for day wear. The A*Men is my least favourite smell, it’s very citrus-like and smells like it has a tang to it. I really like the CK Encounter, it’s the most woody of these but not too over-powering, a really great smell for the evening. The Diesel is similar, but a bit lighter, and Spicebomb by Viktor and Rolph is also great for evening wear, and has a slight orange type of smell to it.
I love having such a wide range to choose from, but I also think buying big bottles of my favourites is a good way to go, I got a large Gucci by Gucci a few weeks back. After doing research I found many people saying that as long as they are kept well, EDT’s and aftershaves can last for a number of years, so it’s worth getting your favourites in large bottles. I would also hate it if/when they start to discontinue my old faves like they have done with Gucci Envy.
I got some more smelly stuff! 😛 Its Hugo Boss Bottled Night, and it smells sooooo good!! 🙂 Its my favourite smell this year i think, i got the 50ml EDT bottle which was £35.
It has a very strong and rich smell, its definatly a night smell which is where it got its name i guess. I will be wearing this alot, it is hard to describe a smell, but it is good.
Its the new fragrance from Hugo Boss, I have a few of theirs, and this is by far there best effort, its really nice 🙂
