Boss Femme - Hugo Boss

*Please Note*

For those of you who don't know me, the notes mentioned on these perfume entries are fully my personal opinions. I am not a trained perfumer so I could be completely wrong.... 

I met this perfume quite a while back, although there are hardly any similarities between me and EuroTraining beside stubbornness, one of thing we did have in common was the love for perfumes. There were quite a few perfume sale in Dunedin, and it was SO hard not to be tempted to buy each time there was one, although I already had a few at home! This one was originally brought for Xmas 2008 for EuroTraining's sister's present. It really helps that both him and I had a really similar taste in perfumes. In fact, I don't think there was many that we disagreed on, and there was no fight when we found "the one".  Although this was launched in 2006 and not the "top of the line" perfumes, I think when it comes to picking perfumes, I don't think there is such thing as being too "old".  There may be various perfumes launched every year and in "high fashion", like clothing, good perfume will always maintain as a good perfume no matter how old it is. Take Chanel No.5 for example, still the high roller although it was launched in 1921, and still being sold every thirty seconds.

This perfume, was a random bottle I picked up after seeing the cute pink solution within the simple exquisite  bottle design. One of my favourite perfume that EuroTraining used to wear was "Boss No.6" by Hugo Boss, released in 1996. He only used it when we first got together as he had hardly any left in the bottle, but whenever there was a "special" occasion, I always begged him to put it on - that's how much I loved it.  And this little bottle is for me, is a female version of "Boss No.6". 

It still resembles the musculine note like musk,lemon and woody base note, yet the warmth from jasmin, rose, white lilly, red currant and apricot. Especially on the mid-note and base note is just so so so so divine. Although the top note is quite strong and resembles me the scent of women putting on puffs in refreshment rooms, the base note  around after 1-2 hour after application is my utter favourite - it makes me feel like being wrapped in arms of a very sexy man. 

If "Boss No.6" is a sexy man in tuxedo, this is a dark wavy mid-length blond woman in a satin champagne strapless full length dress, holding a glass of pink champagne poured into a flute. Or perhaps champagne with a drop of fresh raspberry?  Well, either way, that's how sexy both of these perfume are. Yet, it's not too classy that you only can wear at certain special occasions; although I do prefer to wear this from late spring and summer evening especially on a warm night, but it definitely can be warn quite casually. 

The funny thing is, although I find this perfume very synchronising with "Boss No.6", I prefer to wear this when I'm single, and fully enjoying the fact that I'm single, rather than wearing it together as a couple.  But if I was on an outing with my girls, and meet a man that wears the other half of me, I'd definitely be tempted...... Maybe coz I'm not the dark wavy blond in a champagne dress.... who knows?

I only brought this bottle for myself at the end of last year almost like a xmas present for myself. I am more than glad that I didn't get tempted to buy this when I was still with EuroTraining, as it would have been too painful to use it again and would have put me off forever.  But now, I'm just loving every single sent of it, and liking the fact that my brain still managed to remember the scent of a perfume I smelt in 2008.
