Eden Perfumes No.153 B Orange is an Eau de Parfum. No.153 B Orange opens with Red Apple, Bergamot, and Vanilla, settles into a heart of Incense and Amberwood, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood and Coriander. Eden Perfumes's No.153 B Orange carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Eden's No.153 is a vegan aftershave alternative to Hugo Boss Boss Orange for Men, opening with the same red-apple-and-citrus brightness before settling into a smoky incense and sandalwood base. It's a flatter, louder version of the original with shorter longevity but a similar warm, easy-going character.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer Fall

The zesty bergamot and red apple opening gives this a sun-drenched, warm-weather lift that suits spring and summer, while the smoky incense and sandalwood base gives it enough depth to carry into autumn; it never gets heavy enough to feel purposeful in deep winter cold.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Office Date

The laid-back citrus-incense combination reads best as a relaxed everyday scent for casual wear, with enough smoky warmth to work on a date or a low-key office day, but it lacks the polish for formal dress and the incense trail is too present for the gym.

About

No.153 takes its cues from Hugo Boss Boss Orange for Men, a laid-back citrus-woody scent built for warmer months. The opening leans into a zesty burst of bergamot and red apple, brightened by a whisper of sweet vanilla that keeps things approachable rather than sharp. As it settles, a smoky thread of incense appears alongside a soft amber-wood accord, giving the composition a bit of depth without tipping into anything heavy or formal. The base rounds things off with creamy sandalwood and a touch of herbal coriander, echoing the original's easy-going warmth. Being a vegan, cruelty-free alternative, this version trades some of the original's blending finesse for a punchier, more immediate projection, and it won't last quite as long on skin. Still, it captures the same relaxed, sun-drenched attitude that made Boss Orange for Men popular, making it a solid pick for anyone wanting that citrus-and-incense combination for a fraction of the price. Best suited to casual daytime wear through spring and autumn.
