BOSS The Scent: review, notes and price in Morocco
BOSS The Scent, Hugo Boss's seduction eau de toilette: notes, performance, how it differs from The Scent Elixir and Bottled Absolu. 10ml decant at 160 MAD.
Released in 2015, BOSS The Scent became one of the most worn seduction fragrances of its generation, thanks to a rare note: maninka, an African fruit. It arrives at MYF at 1,500 MAD for the bottle and 160 MAD for the 10ml decant.
BOSS The Scent
Ginger, maninka, lavender and leather: Hugo Boss's seduction eau de toilette. 1,500 MAD per bottle, 160 MAD for the 10ml decant.
What The Scent smells like
Here is the pyramid as listed in our catalogue.
| Stage | Notes |
|---|---|
| Top | Ginger, mandarin, bergamot |
| Heart | Maninka, lavender |
| Base | Leather, woody notes |
The opening of ginger is fresh and zesty, softened by mandarin and bergamot. The heart brings the touch that makes it recognisable: maninka, a fruit both juicy and slightly spicy, over lavender. The base of leather accord and woods gives a soft, clean warmth, never animalic.
It is an Eau de Toilette rated Moderate: present without imposing, it sits close to the skin after a few hours.
Who it's for, and when to wear it
The Scent is listed for Date, Daily and Office. It is the most versatile of the three BOSS fragrances in our catalogue.
- Daily and at the office: its moderate projection and clean base bother no one.
- Dates: maninka and leather give it a quiet seductive side.
- Season: all year, with an edge in spring and autumn.
Plan a top-up
An Eau de Toilette lasts less than an Elixir. For a long evening, keep the decant in your pocket and re-spray late in the day.
The Scent versus the BOSS range and seduction classics
| Fragrance | Year | Key notes | Performance | 10ml decant | Bottle |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| BOSS The Scent | 2015 | Ginger, mandarin, maninka, lavender, leather | Moderate | 160 MAD | 1,500 MAD |
| BOSS The Scent Elixir | 2022 | Cardamom, pink pepper, cacao, vanilla, tonka bean | Strong | 140 MAD | 1,400 MAD |
| BOSS Bottled Absolu | 2022 | Apple, cinnamon, birch, vetiver, sandalwood, vanilla | Strong | 140 MAD | 1,350 MAD |
| La Nuit de L'Homme EDT | 2009 | Cardamom, bergamot, lavender, cedar, vetiver | Moderate | 120 MAD | 1,150 MAD |
| Stronger With You Intensely | 2019 | Pink pepper, cardamom, cinnamon, vanilla | Strong | 120 MAD | 1,050 MAD |
- Versus The Scent Elixir: the Elixir drops maninka for cacao and vanilla. More gourmand, stronger, for evenings. The Scent is fresher and works by day.
- Versus Bottled Absolu: a different BOSS line, apple-cinnamon and woods. Spicier and longer-lasting.
- Versus La Nuit de L'Homme: the great seduction rival. Same moderate performance, same lavender, but La Nuit is spicier with cardamom, The Scent fruitier.
- Versus Stronger With You Intensely: sweeter, more vanilla, stronger. For a bold trail.
Our take
You want a seduction signature that also works at the office: The Scent. You want the same mood in a stronger evening version: The Scent Elixir.
