BEST DESIGNER OF 2019: Hugo Boss - The Scent Absolute (Fragrance Review)

I havent even tried any Hugo Boss fragrances in so many years and just wrote them off as a whole. I find myself wanting to try this. Looks as though I'm gonna just have to blind buy this and hope that my opinion based off of notes and watching reveiws are on point like they usually are.

👍👍👍👍👍♥️🍀🌞😀👍

3 mins down the video and the review had not started. This is where is turn away to crisper videos. Cut the BS pls

9 months after this review would you still buy this? Still like it?

Heloo ! This or By the fire place ? Projection and longevity?

Smells like Armani Code Profumo to me. Anyone else get that?

The Scent -line was totally bashed when it first came out, nowadays they have many good scents and it has a uniqueness to it, which is a good thing naturally! Even the commmunity has warmed up to it. My favorite is the Private Accord -version, but no shame in the Absolute version :)

Can I ask you George is this, in your opinion better than spicebomb extreme? I'm trying to decide as I can only buy one expensive designer this month and I know Spicebomb is going to be hard to come by soon that's why I couldn't decide. Btw, the VR would be a blind buy too, and I've read a few negatives about it online too.

Great video! I purchased this fragrance based on your video and after wearing the fragrance for about a week, I have to say, honestly, that I'm very disappointing. This fragrance opens with tones of orange and ginger, very strong and inviting, by all means, a great opening. They disappear very quickly moving to the dry-down notes which projects citrus and a tiny of vetiver. However, the dry down has this combustible, kerosene and tonka sweetness type of scent, which Hugo Boss calls it “boozy” which is completely wrong, it is disgusting. Moderate projection and longevity, I’m not buying this one again, ever. For those looking for a boozy fragrance, Thierry Mugler Angel Men Pure Malt is better and Paco Rabanne 1 Million Prive is the best.

I smelt one that smelled like chocolate. I thought it was private accord so I bought it on notio but turns out it’s not the one I smelt, the one I smelt was in a dark bottle. Anyone have any ideas which one it may have been?

You know what..I even liked the original "the scent" fragrance..the dry down went a creamy green smell on my skin and enjoyed getting g the odd whiff of it during the day..so this is going on my ever growing to get list..

does ' the scent absolute ' and ' private accord ' differ enough to warrent getting them both

This is the perfum or toilet ?

I just smelled this today. To me, this is everything I wanted Spice Bomb Extreme to be. This is a much better scent and a better alternative to me.

Very poor projection

This one surprised me a lot. Not a big fan of the scent line but when i put my nose on the scent absolute, it smelt amazing.

On my list to try for sure now. Great work

I just blind bought it, we will see how good it is :-)

How long is your Renier discount code good for?

Love private accord but this is even better
Will get a 200ml bottle next year

Why in the heck are so many reviewers starting their reviews by clapping their hands?? It doesn't get my attention as I already clicked to watch the video. It's a bit distracting and unnecessary. You're a great reviewer regardless.

So weird how people view scents so differently. I was trying this in a store yesterday, along with a bunch of other stuff, and just dismissed it as another piece of sweet, designer dross lol Maybe I should give it a go on skin rather than the tester strip another time. I did, however, sample Ambre Sultan, and that was blissful. I always enjoy your reviews anyway, and usually agree on most frags.

Who needs a haircut??...it's George!!!!

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the Scent Absolute is your winter Dior Sauvage. It has a similar vibe, not scent, that goes it a semi-gourmand way. Use Dior Sauvage in the summer and go for this in the winter.

I decided to buy the husband a fragrance this xmas. He has no interest in fragrance AT ALL. . But I bought various samples, including this Boss Absolute, TF Oud Wood, Tobacco Oud, Mugler Pure Malt, YSL L'homme. . And a few other popular frags. Got him to blind test them all. . Boss The Scent Absolute won by a mile. 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌 SOLD!

It's lovely, and I will say that it does remind me a great deal of L'artisan Noir Exquis, which is totally delicious also.

8 didn't care so much for the Scent or Private Accord. The dusty element put it off for me. If it had been milky or creamy I would have gotten it. But this one knocked it out of the park for me. Sampled it, loved it, will be buying it this week.

Yes! Actually had an opportunity to sample this in the mall yesterday. Could not agree with you more! Was surprised with how genuinely nice this is. Another great review!

Only 3 new designers releases wowed me this year. Armani Code Absolu, Moschino Toy Boy and Boss The Scent Absolute. I loved The Scent Absolute so much that I almost bought it at retail price as soon as it got released, which I never ever do. I got it as a gift for my birthday, as my friends knew how much I love this. They probably payed retail for it, but who cares, I just freaking love it. And now I have it in my collection, while not breaking my golden rule of not buying at retail price, which is hard cause now I am tempted to buy Toy Boy which is freaking gorgeous too... it's tough being a frag-head...

I mite just prefer the private accord. I've been sniffing them both until my nose hurt trying to pick one indefinite winner.

It seriously is the best "The Scent" release. Private Accord was fantastic, but this just had that Mondiola & Vetiver addition to Private Accord and make this perfect. Then you throw in the Longevity, compliments, etc to boot.. What more can you ask for??

HB sure did some decent ones this year. Also enjoyed Bottled Oud Saffron and The Scent Absolute for her. Haven't tried Bottled Absolute, but it would've been nice if they did a stand-alone release. 7 flankers in one year is a bit much.

Boss still make fragrances 🤔 huh...

Are you planning to do a Date One vs Oud Satin mood video?

Armani Code Absolu🤷‍♂️ (mic drop)

I already have and enjoyed the scent private accord so if this is in that vein and thicker I'm sure it will be a like for me

This one really did remind me of La Nuit de l’homme . Already very familiar scent so would be a pretty much redundant purchase for me personally..

See.. this scent is very good, and is only rivaled in the scent line by private accord.. but the best designer release this year in terms of smell and quality is by for issey miyake pulse of the night...

I soooo agree. Went last week and tested Absolute and Private Accord side by side. Went home and immediately ordered Absolute! 100ml (Absolute)for 54 Euro vs 200ml(P A) for 60. So the scent itself blew me enough to choose the smaller bottle for virtually the same price.

Boss should put that in their advertising...

I'm hoping this will be among my Christmas gifts, but if not, I'll be after it in the New Year. Cheers for the review, George.

Designers use fragrances as a cash cow now, if you go in to their stand alone stores they either tuck them away or don't even sell the fragrances

Will he say chocolate?

For me best designer of 2019 is Paco Rabanne Invictus Legend

What about black afgano bro ? 😊

Are we getting a worst? 😮

Good release but definitely not the best and maybe I am biased when I say this because I love the Armani Code line as a whole , it’s the first fragrance I’ve ever had(original Code) but yeah to my point , best release this year is Armani Code Absolu .

What about Isey M: pulse of the night?
