BOSS Bottled Elixir review

BOSS Bottled Elixir is the darkest and most concentrated Bottled. Hugo Boss calls it a confident, highly concentrated ambery woody fragrance with warm incense top notes, a vetiver heart and a cedarwood essence base. That smoky, resinous profile is very different from the fruity original and suits evenings and cold weather rather than the office in summer, which gives it the lowest experience score on our list. It is also the most expensive bottle here at $169 for 100 ml on hugoboss.com. One oddity: the product title on hugoboss.com says eau de toilette, while the details text calls it an eau de parfum, so we list it simply as highly concentrated. Buyers who love incense and woods will find nothing else like it in the Boss lineup; others get more use from Bottled or The Scent for less. We compared published notes and prices and did not wear-test any fragrance.
