BOSS Bottled Eau de Parfum is a strong value for a full-size eau de parfum: Ulta Beauty sells the 3.3 oz bottle for $143 as of November 2026, about $43 an ounce. Ulta's summary describes a burst of apple and bergamot against black pepper, a spicy heart of cardamom and cinnamon oils, and a vetiver and musk base that turns leathery and smoky. Ulta files it under the oriental family with a warm woods scent type. It has 1,467 Ulta reviews averaging 4.4 out of 5, which is a large base but the lowest star average among the Ulta-listed picks here. Ulta also listed a free bottle and holder with Hugo Boss large spray purchases through December 26, 2026. The limits are practical: this item is online only at Ulta, the page lists a single 3.3 oz size, and Hugo Boss gives no wear time. We compared listed notes, ratings and prices and did not wear-test it.
