HUGO Man Eau de Toilette is the value pick because it gives the most fragrance for the money: $104 for 4.2 oz at Ulta Beauty, about $25 per ounce, compared with roughly $38 per ounce for BOSS Bottled. Ulta lists top notes of green apple, grapefruit and basil, a heart of sage and jasmine and a base of fir balsam, cedarwood and patchouli, and describes it as a fresh, original eau de toilette for adventurous individuals. That green, herbal profile suits hot days, the gym bag and casual weekends better than the warmer BOSS scents. It carried a 4.5 rating from 591 Ulta reviews when we checked. The tradeoff is formality and strength: it is a casual eau de toilette, and buyers who want something for dinners or the office should look at BOSS Bottled. Hugo Boss also sells it on hugoboss.com in a $104 gift set with a deodorant stick and shower gel. We compared published notes and prices and did not wear-test any fragrance.
