Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Boss In Motion Black EDT
A largely inoffensive, subtly citrusy scent, Hugo Boss In Motion Black promises a fresh spark but delivers an underwhelming, fleeting whisper. It's a mild crowd-pleaser that struggles to make an impression and is best as a personal scent.

Our Verdict - Chieftain II EDP
Chieftain II copies Hugo Boss In Motion Black - the same crisp citrus-and-ginger opening over a soft woody myrrh-sandalwood base. The original is already a famously weak, airy performer, and this budget version is lighter still - a clean, fleeting daytime splash.
