Hugo Boss Boss Intense Shimmer Edition is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2004, created by Ursula Wandel. Boss Intense Shimmer Edition settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Styrax. Hugo Boss's Boss Intense Shimmer Edition carries a Favourite verdict, a warm spicy-led wear.

A divisive scent for Boss, this 'Shimmer Edition' leaves some swooning over its refreshing floral-woodiness, while others find it too masculine and overwhelming. Brace yourself for a powerful fragrance - if you can get past the notoriously clunky nozzle.

About

This Shimmer Edition opens with a blast of jasmine and a vibrant, almost citrusy rose, steering clear of typical heavy florals. It quickly settles into a clean, modern heart, with subtle vanilla sweetness emerging to support the prominent white florals. The base rounds out with a clean, almost 'shampoo-like' musk, earthy patchouli, and warm amber, balanced by soft woods rather than the expected intensity.
