Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Boss Soul EDP

Boss Soul is a divisive, discontinued scent that some rate as a masterpiece for its warm, spicy allure, while others dismiss it as forgettable and dated. Its biggest flaw? Performance, or lack thereof. A 'hug in a bottle' that fades far too quickly.

Statement

Our Verdict - Durban EDP

A budget Noted Aromas interpretation of Carolina Herrera Bad Boy (2019) - white pepper, cinnamon and tonka bean translated into NA's UK dupe-house take at a fraction of the original's price. Honest dupe-fidelity for daily wear.

Season and Occasion Fit

Boss Soul

Seasons

Best For:

Autumn Winter

Also Works:

Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Formal

Its warm, spicy character and intimate sillage make it ideal for close encounters like dates. The short-lived performance and subtle projection mean it won't overwhelm an office, but it's not impactful enough for formal events or sports.
