Executive Order

Executive Order opens with a crisp apple note lifted by citrus, which is exactly the recognisable calling card of Hugo Boss Bottled. Cinnamon and clove move in for the middle, warm and slightly sweet in the same way as the original, though the geranium here is much less pronounced, softening the green, slightly bitter edge that gives Boss Bottled its structure. The vanilla-sandalwood-cedar base lands the fragrance in familiar territory but with less definition than the original's vetiver-backed woody finish, so it reads as rounder and a touch simpler on the skin. It is a comfortable, professional scent that works well for the office or client meetings, matching the original's easy-going character even if it does not capture every layer of its composition.
