Boss Ma Vie is a divisive one - some find it a unique, fresh take on florals, while others dismiss it as bland, weak, and ultimately unremarkable. The cactus flower note is either its quirky superpower or an outright flop, depending on who you ask.

No.424 follows Hugo Boss Ma Vie's unusual cactus-flower opening into a soft freesia, jasmine and rose heart on a light cedar base. The floral core is a fair match, though like the original it's a light, closer-to-the-skin scent that fades faster than its EDP billing suggests.
