The cologne does smell good, even better than most similar products in that price range. However, if you want a scent with longevity, this is not the best choice for you. Note also that you won’t have that mint and citrus combination for the whole three hours. As always, get what your nose - and the people around you -- like to smell. You can never go wrong with that. Conclusion These fragrances have been blended so that they will smell manly. Read on for our list of the best Hugo Boss colognes in 2021.

These French words can get confusing, we’ll admit, but they’re actually really helpful. There are obviously differences to each type of cologne, mainly with the concentration of the fragrant perfume oils in the blend -- this is why you’ll find eau de toilette is cheaper than an eau de cologne, and you’ll notice that eau de parfum is more expensive than those two. Meanwhile, aftershave is exactly what it says it is: it’s a liquid alcohol product that not only makes you smell good post-shaving but also disinfects any cuts. A lot of colognes on this list have already reached iconic status, and that’s because Hugo Boss creates their fragrances with the finest blends of ingredients, oils, and aromas that’ll leave you smelling your best. Performance is the only thing where, compared to similar colognes, this product falls short. Obviously, these fresher, lighter scents can’t last as long as strong ones. However, I expected the scent to last for at least five or six hours, but it lasted just a bit more than three.

After everything else goes away, you’re left with what the perfume or cologne really smells like. The base notes make up the scent you get for the rest of the day, and it’s what you’re really buying the particular cologne for. Go classic with the timeless ‘ HUGO BOSS Bottled’ featuring fruity top notes underlaid with a spicy heart and base notes of sandalwood; or cut through the noise with the scent of fresh citrus and smoky wood from ‘ BOSS Bottled Infinite’. The first aromatic-aquatic appeared in 1991, making this signature a relative newcomer to the fragrance world. The herbaceous notes are brightened with breezy marine tones, resulting in a salty, rugged freshness. Tea and mint make up the head of this particular EdT. These make way for a heart note of juniper berries. As the fragrance matures, a deluge of vetiver soars in to round out the olfactory journey. (Vetiver, sometimes called khus, is an Indian grass similar to lemongrass.) Hugo Boss Fragrances: Pricing The truth is you really can’t go wrong with any of the Hugo Boss men’s colognes on this list. Hugo Boss has been making quality fragrances for both men and women since the early 20th century, and they would not be in business if they were making bad-smelling duds.

You can always tell whether a fragrance is meant to be a daytime scent or a night-time scent -- if you can’t distinguish by the smell and the ingredients it uses, just look at the box and bottle. A light, clear bottle indicates a daytime scent, and darker hues mean it’s a night-time scent. As mentioned, this cologne doesn’t last very long. If you want to slightly increase longevity, you might want to apply a bit more of the cologne. Also, if you apply the cologne right after you shower, while your pores are still open, the cologne will sip in and last longer. Each perfume and cologne affects and impresses people in many different ways. Within the Hugo Boss umbrella, you’re already bound to have your own personal favorite scents, and this can happen whether the label says, Armani or Versace.For active men, smelling good is always important during and after moving so much. This is why Hugo Boss didn’t forget about the guy on the go — when he’s on the field or court playing hard and sweating it out, he’s got to smell really good after the fact. For that reason (as well as creating a really good cologne) Hugo Boss created Energise, a men’s fragrance launched in 2005 with the help of award-winning European perfume maker Claude Dir. Remember, smelling good isn’t just a matter of objectively smelling good. All colognes smell good right out of the bottle. At the end of the day, it’s also what you feel like smelling when you spray that scent (and what other people feel like when they smell it on you). Comparing Hugo Boss Colognes With Other Brands (Hugo Boss vs Versace, Hugo Boss vs Armani) The truth is just about any Hugo Boss product on this list will do for you, but of course, getting cologne is a matter of personal preference and how well each scent agrees with you. Men’s colognes tend to smell woody, spicy, and musky, even when they’re blended to be more light, sweet, and fruity — so no matter what scent you choose you shouldn’t worry about not smelling masculine.

One thing’s for sure: Hugo Boss isn’t the only cologne brand out there. There are fashion and fragrance powerhouses such as Armani and Versace that also create men’s colognes, and as you shop in person at the department store you will probably come across their products. You’re probably asking, what should I get when I see (and smell) those other brands? Of course, you could technically buy a cologne just by smelling its head and heart notes -- and no one’s really stopping you -- but that’s a really easy way of ending up with a scent you’ll probably regret. The difference between day and night scents Also, if you’re faced with the option of buying either splash or spray, it doesn’t really matter as the concentration doesn’t change between the two. A splash lasts longer, however, as an aerosol spray releases more of the cologne when you press down as opposed to the single drops you get from the splash. The Olfactory Pyramid and VolatilityThe olfactory pyramid system is actually a metaphorical way of describing and smelling the scent of each cologne and perfume, and the ingredients listed are a way of assigning its identifiable scents. The real ingredients are indecipherable chemical compounds. Embrace the power of evocative and full-bodied men’s perfume - featuring 15-30% concentration for a scent that evolves with you throughout the day. Find the scent that best encapsulates your personality with profiles of fresh natural base notes, rich earthy tones and bold profiles. You’ve also likely noticed that each Hugo Boss cologne mentioned on this list was classified as either day or night scents. If there’s one thing we’ve noticed in our research, however, it’s that the entire Hugo Boss line of men’s colognes seem to be more accessible than those of houses like Armani and Versace. Hugo Boss has fragrances made for casual wearers, and their entry-level men’s colognes are among the best choices you’ll ever have. If you’re still new to this or you don’t want anything too fancy, Hugo Boss colognes may be just right for you. Hugo Boss’s Boss in Motion opens its salvo with top notes of fizzy orange and citrus that take you by surprise and then give way to heart notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom to flesh out the fragrance’s masculine character. (It’s the hint of manliness you’re looking for after the light citrus opening.) When that’s all said and done, all that remains are base notes of musk and woody scents.
