BOSS The Scent Eau de Toilette ranks second because it is the clearest alternative to Bottled: warmer, sweeter and built for evenings. Hugo Boss calls it an amber-woody-fruity fragrance that contrasts spicy ginger with maninka fruit and leather notes. It comes in a 100 ml refillable flacon at $130, the same price as Bottled Eau de Toilette, and hugoboss.com also lists a 200 ml refill, which helps buyers who finish a bottle. The ginger and leather profile is less versatile than Bottled in summer heat, which is why its experience score is a little lower. Buyers who like the style and want more depth can move up to The Scent Eau de Parfum at $135 or the Eau de Parfum Intense at $156 for 100 ml. The 50 ml size costs $100, so the 100 ml is the better buy per ounce. We compared published notes and prices and did not wear-test any fragrance.
