Boss Bottled Infinite

Boss Bottled Infinite, a 2019 release from Hugo Boss, takes the house's apple-and-cinnamon idea in a greener, more herbal direction. Aromatic is the word everyone uses; most add woody, and a minority find it spicy, sweet or citrusy.

Apple and mandarin orange open it with a juicy brightness, but sage and cinnamon arrive at the same time, so the fruit is cut with a dry herb and a gentle warmth. The heart is firmly aromatic: rosemary and lavender give it a clean, almost Mediterranean freshness, while patchouli adds an earthy depth underneath. Sandalwood and olive tree form the base, creamy and slightly green rather than sweet.

Longevity is moderate for about half of wearers and weak for a minority, and the sillage is moderate to intimate. Spring and summer take most votes, and it is worn largely by day. It is a sensible choice for warm-weather workdays, for someone who finds the original Boss Bottled too sweet and wants something fresher.
