This opens with crisp apple, mandarin and a touch of cinnamon and sage - fresh, slightly fruity and warmly spicy right from the start. The heart brings in lavender, rosemary and patchouli, giving a clean herbal-aromatic turn. The dry-down settles into woody warmth from sandalwood and olive wood, wrapping up the scent in a smooth, masculine base. Projection is decent early on - noticeable in the first 1-2 hours - but it becomes much more intimate after that. As for longevity, I get around 5-7 hours on my skin, though on clothes it lingers longer. Overall, I’d rate this 9.2/10. Now THIS is more my type of scent with Hugo Boss, not as potent/heavy as the The Scent line, I prefer lighter scents with this house. I absolutely love the smell of this, so fresh and uplifting. This is a versatile, pleasant everyday fragrance - safe, mass-friendly and enough character for me to enjoy. My only regret, I only bought a 50ml bottle.

Fall and touches of summer, another amazing week of smelling good. Hit of the week was Aura +, tons of compliments at work.
