Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Boss Intense EDP
A divisive yet much-loved discontinued gem from Hugo Boss, this one causes a stir. Some find it a masculine, heady mess, while others adore its warm, sensual, and undeniably intense character. If you can find it, it's a bold statement.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Swift For Women EDP
Perfume Parlour's version of Hugo Boss Boss Intense. The warm, spicy orange-blossom-and-vanilla heart over sandalwood and patchouli is captured well, with reviewers finding Swift a touch more balanced and less green than the original, though flatter in its overall depth.
