The Collection Passionate Chypre

The Collection Passionate Chypre by Hugo Boss, released in 2023, is a green, mossy scent with a dark fruit at its centre, worn by anyone. Everyone who describes it calls it green, and about half also find it gourmand.

It is built on three elements. Black cherry gives a rich, slightly sweet, almost liqueur-like fruit note that provides the gourmand side. Oakmoss and moss form the backbone: damp, earthy, forest-floor green with a bitter edge, which is what makes it a chypre in character. The interplay is the point, sweet dark fruit against a cool mossy ground, rather than a long progression of notes.

The mossy structure suits cooler weather and evening wear, where its depth can show, though the cherry keeps it from being austere. It suits people who like classic green chypres and want a modern fruit twist on the style, and who prefer a shared fragrance that is neither sweet nor overtly floral.
