Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Boss Woman EDP
Understated but instantly recognizable, Boss Woman is the archetype of clean, professional femininity. Mango-freesia freshness rides over a soft woody base, perfect for those who want to feel poised, composed and quietly distinctive.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Original H EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Hugo Hugo Boss - a fruity fragrance led by bright opening notes, with floral depth. It captures the gist of the original at a fraction of the cost, rendering a touch simpler and quieter.

Season and Occasion Fit

Boss Woman

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer Autumn

The crisp mango, freesia and citrus make this a natural fit for spring, with enough freshness for summer. The light woody base can carry into fall, but lacks the density for winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its clean, subtle projection and inoffensive floral-fruity profile are ideal for office and casual wear. It's versatile and unintrusive, working well for light sports or daytime dates, but is not quite dressy enough for formal occasions.

Original H

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the fruity, floral profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Keep it for casual and daily - the fruity accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
