Ra Boss

Name: Ra Boss Eau de Parfum
Brand: Perfume Parlour
Availability: InStock

Perfume Parlour Ra Boss is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1998. Ra Boss opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Apple, settles into a heart of Aquatic, Geranium, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, Guaiac Wood, and Vanilla. Perfume Parlour's Ra Boss carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

An inventive Perfume Parlour mash-up of Hugo Boss Bottled and Paco Rabanne Invictus - the fruity apple-cinnamon-vanilla warmth of one married to the fresh grapefruit-marine zest of the other. Ra Boss is a versatile crowd-pleaser, though both halves wear flatter and skin-close compared to the originals.

About

Ra Boss is an emulsion of two crowd-pleasers, and it bridges them neatly: the opening pairs Boss Bottled's fruity apple and bergamot with the bright grapefruit-and-marine zest of Invictus. The heart leans into Boss Bottled's signature cinnamon with a touch of geranium and a clean aquatic lift, before a warm, woody-vanilla base of vanilla, cedar, guaiac wood and vetiver brings it together. The result is a versatile fruity-woody scent - fresh enough for the day, warm enough for a date. As with most Perfume Parlour fusions, both source DNAs are rendered more two-dimensional and skin-close than the designer originals, with the apple-cinnamon warmth and the marine freshness each thinner and quicker to fade. It is an easy, office-friendly all-rounder that delivers two familiar moods in one budget bottle.
