Which Should You Buy?
This green, fresh powerhouse is a divisive blast of invigorating nature. Opinion is split between a clean, zen-like experience and an overpowering, soapy assault. Not for the faint-hearted or those who dislike strong green notes.
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.

Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Occasions
Its potent projection and impressive longevity, frequently mentioned in reviews, might be a bit much for a formal setting or close office quarters. However, its refreshing green and citrus profile makes it ideal for casual wear, especially in warmer weather, and even post-sport to feel revitalised.
