Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Boss In Motion EDT
Effortlessly wearable and instantly recognizable, Boss In Motion is a spicy-fresh masculine classic with a dynamic citrus opening and a warm, energetic heart. An everyday signature for active, positive men.

Our Verdict - Chieftain EDP
Chieftain copies Hugo Boss In Motion - the same creamy woody-spicy signature of cardamom and nutmeg over smooth teakwood, sandalwood and vanilla. The budget version captures the sporty-refined idea but reads flatter, with softer projection than the original.
