SOTD/Review: Hugo Boss The Scent Elixir (Sample)

🔥

This opens sharply with red pepper, delivering a warm, spicy punch that immediately grabs your attention. The heart blooms into lavender, softening the heat and adding an aromatic calm before the base settles into a rich sandalwood foundation that gives creamy warmth and depth. Projection is very strong early on me - noticeable at arm’s length for the first few hours - with sillage that trails nicely in that top phase. Longevity is solid, I got around 10-12 hours total wear. It’s definitely built for cooler weather or nights out, a strong bold fragrance. Overall rating: 6.4/10. I rate this score because even though it’s not a bad scent, has nice elements to it but it’s much too strong for the type of scents I like, I just couldn’t see me wearing this due to its potency, so unlikely be purchasing a full bottle. I have samples of The Scent Magnetic and Boss Bottled Absolu to review next and I have a feeling they will be similar to this in regards to potency but we’ll see.
