✅ It's a great fragrance, Elegant, Classy and Sophisticated... It smells so good and very pleasant, I like Boss Orange Man EDT for Men and I'm so happy that I have it in my collection.
✅ It smells wonderfully fresh of citrus fruits and apple with an aromatic, woody heart note... It was absolutely crazy how incredibly many compliments I received during that time for Boss Orange man.
✅ For me, it's a scent that fits wonderfully into everyday life. Very balanced, pleasant, not too intrusive, and simply very likable and soft.
✅ Modern, bright, young and casual. Great for the office and very versatile seasonally.

❌ What seemed quite decent at first turned out after half an hour to be the usual test tube brew, which continued to flatten out.
❌ Very middle of the road, very boring and derivative, a far cry for trying to copy Boss Bottle, but failed.
❌ it was a gift, good quality EDT but didn't like it, too fruity, not subtil, like a bohemian fragrance for a CEO wearing a suit
❌ Good but uninteresting and a bit synthetic.
