Boss Soul by Hugo Boss, from 2005 and composed by Ursula Wandel, is a spicy fragrance for men. Spice dominates, with gourmand, citrus, woody, aromatic and amber facets behind it.

The opening is bright and peppery: bergamot and mandarin orange give citrus freshness, while cardamom, pepper and anise add cool spice with a liquorice touch. The heart warms up with coriander, cinnamon and nutmeg, a cosy kitchen-spice blend balanced by lavender's herbal freshness. In the base, vanilla and tonka bean bring sweetness, amber warmth, vetiver dry earthiness and musk a smooth finish.

Most wearers report moderate longevity, and the trail is moderate to intimate. It is voted for winter and autumn and leans towards the evening. Boss Soul suits cool-weather days, evenings out and the office in winter, for someone who likes a warm, spicy masculine scent that feels friendly and approachable rather than heavy.

Boss Soul — for men fragrance by Hugo Boss (released 2005). Top notes: Cardamom, Pepper, Anise, Mandarin Orange, Bergamot. Heart notes: Cinnamon, Lavender, Nutmeg, Coriander. Base notes: Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Amber, Vetiver, Musk. — Parfica open fragrance database
