Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Boss Bottled Absolu Intense Parfum
Boss Bottled Absolu Parfum Intense is a modern statement-maker, amplifying the original DNA with a resinous, leathery richness and a bold, seductive vanilla-spice punch. For those who want to command the room with style and power.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Before For Women EDP
A budget take on Joop! All About Eve. Before reproduces the distinctive apple-cinnamon-vanilla fruity-oriental signature, but the chief shortcoming is the same weak longevity that bothers some of the original's fans, made a touch lighter still.

Season and Occasion Fit

Boss Bottled Absolu Intense

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

The dominant warm spicy, resinous, and leathery facets with strong vanilla and woods make this a powerhouse for cold weather, shining in winter and late fall. It is a bit too rich and dense for most summer days, though can work on cool spring nights.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its boldness, density, and projection lean toward evening, date, and formal wear. The intense sillage and rich sweetness are too much for office or gym but perfect for nights out or making an impression.

Before For Women

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

The warm apple-cinnamon spice and creamy vanilla make it a cosy autumn and winter scent, with enough fruit for spring.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its playful, cosy character suits casual daytime wear and relaxed dates more than formal settings.
