Aromers No 05 Boss Bottled is an Extrait de Parfum. No 05 Boss Bottled opens with Citrus and Apple, settles into a heart of Geranium and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Aromers's No 05 Boss Bottled carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

Boss Bottled's crowd-pleasing apple-cinnamon-sandalwood formula is easy to imitate at a basic level and this dupe gets the shape right, but the woody base thins out fast, missing the original's smooth, office-ready staying power.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Other declarable allergens

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

No 05 follows Boss Bottled's well-worn but effective template closely: a crisp apple and citrus opening, a warm cinnamon-geranium heart, and a woody sandalwood-cedar-vetiver base. The overall shape is instantly recognisable to anyone who knows the original, and the opening hours are genuinely close. Where it falls behind is staying power - Boss Bottled is known for a smooth, even wear that lasts a full office day, while this version fades to a faint skin scent well before then. The woods also come across a touch thinner and less polished. A fine, inoffensive everyday scent, but not one that will fool anyone up close for long.
