Hugo Boss's Boss Bottled Intense cologne is an updated version of the original Boss Bottled fragrance, which was first introduced in 1998. The current version of this fragrance, which was released in 2015, is woody and spicy rather than sweet, yet it still has the opulent masculinity of the original. Its intensity results from the accumulation of priceless fragrance oils. Opening notes of apple and bergamot are softly encased in warm orange blossom in this fragrance. Geranium is combined with cinnamon and clove for the heart's spiciness. With just a touch of vanilla, the fascinating, woodsy base of sandalwood, cedar, and vetiver is somewhat mellowed.
