✅ This was my signature scent in my teenage years, absolute nostalgia. This started my love of fragrence. Many nites at discos drowned in this fragrence. The ladies back in the day loved it.
✅ Easy reach fragrance that usually always gets me compliments. 10/10 in my opinion
✅ This scent is timeless, the first fragrance i ever fell in love with. you could genuinely wear this if you're 18 or 88
✅ Smells great! It smells like an apple shower gel in a good way.

✅ This scent is timeless, the first fragrance i ever fell in love with.
✅ A lovely super safe scent!

❌ Performance is poor. It doesn't last more than 1-2 hrs but it gives off a nice woody, smokey, musky, masculine scent in that time.
❌ Smells great! Terrible performance. It smells like an apple shower gel in a good way. But it just doesn’t last and barely projects.
❌ Boss Bottled EDT was a huge disappointment to me overall, all the notes that I was excited for where short lived or entirely absent. Combined with horrible projection & longevity it’s a 1/10 overall.
❌ Performance is poor. It doesn't last more than 1-2 hrs
❌ Smells great! Terrible performance.
❌ It smells very juvenile
❌ The current formulation ... has abysmal performance and softness
❌ It's outdated
