Hugo Boss The Collection Sensual Geranium is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022, created by Benoist Lapouza. The Collection Sensual Geranium opens with Angelica, Geranium, Frankincense, and Artemisia, settles into a heart of Amber, Rose, Lavender, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Vetiver, and Osmanthus. Hugo Boss's The Collection Sensual Geranium carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

A divisive scent attempting to marry a classic fougere with the ubiquitous 'blue' fragrance DNA. Some find it generic, others praise its added character, but the consensus is that the dry down leans heavily into familiar territory.

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Its fresh and clean profile makes it versatile for daily wear, including the office or casual outings. However, its perceived 'blue' DNA might make it feel less special for formal events, and its subtle spicy warmth isn't ideal for vigorous sport.

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

Opens with a vibrant, peppery geranium blast, underscored by herbal artemisia and a touch of mysterious frankincense. As it settles, a rich amber warmth emerges, mingling with a subtly fruity plum and aromatic lavender, spiced gently with cinnamon. The base solidifies into woody vetiver and cedar, cushioned by soft musk and a sweet, resinous benzoin - a surprisingly familiar 'blue' dry down after its intriguing start.
