Trapped Chief

Name: Trapped Chief Eau de Parfum
Brand: Perfume Parlour
Availability: InStock

Perfume Parlour Trapped Chief is an Eau de Parfum. Trapped Chief opens with Bergamot, Cinnamon, and Apple, settles into a heart of Marigold, Geranium, and Clove, and dries down to a base of Olive Tree, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Perfume Parlour's Trapped Chief carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A budget take on Hugo Boss Boss Bottled, that iconic apple-cinnamon-woods office staple. Trapped Chief nails the cosy apple-and-spice opening and the clean woody base, but the warm, comforting depth reads flatter, and it projects even more modestly than the already-soft original.

About

Trapped Chief opens on the unmistakable Boss Bottled signature: crisp apple dusted with warm cinnamon and lifted by bergamot, that cosy, almost apple-pie freshness that launched a thousand office scents. The heart adds a gentle spice of clove and a green geranium, with a faint floral marigold rounding it out. The drydown is clean and woody, cedar and sandalwood threaded with vetiver and a touch of olive tree, keeping things smart and comfortable. Against Hugo Boss's Boss Bottled, this clone keeps the apple-cinnamon-woods DNA intact but renders the woods thinner and the warmth less rounded, so it reads a step more linear and synthetic. Boss Bottled EDT is famously a weak performer; the dupe steps down again to gentle projection and a few hours of cosy spice before settling skin-close. As an affordable, safe, crowd-pleasing daily and office masculine, it captures the comfortable spirit well.
