Product description

Boss in Motion Electric, released last 2007 comes in the same pewter made flacon designed bottle as with the other Boss in Motion editions, only this one comes in a silver colored pewter with a blue rim and has a sort of vinyl shine to it.

Hugo Boss released Boss in Motion having fragrance notes of earl grey tea, cardamom, bitter orange, violet leaves, patchouli, sandalwood and cedar. The targeted consumers for this fragrance perfume are athletes, apt for the energetic and dynamic claim of the product.

About the scent

Top notes

Electric edition opens up with the interesting earl grey tea scent that has a hint of citrus, reason why people say it is aquatic. This is in effect of the constituent earl grey tea that is derived from bergamot, a citrus fruit. The combination of both the sweet scent of citrus and the interesting aroma of earl grey tea is reminiscent of the predecessors Boss in Motion original and Boss in Motion Blue.

The initial scent of Boss in Motion Electric appears very vibrant and sensual, a testimony of improvement from Boss in Motion. A revolution of aromas, the Electric edition in its initial blast of haze heightens sensation.

Middle notes

The elemental constituents; cardamom, bitter orange and violet leave converts the aroma of the Electric edition into another citrusy scent but with the same twist of spice and a very subtle hint of tea. Unlike the original Boss in Motion, this edition proves to be a little less sweet but more sensual and very masculine in its scent.

This edition of Boss in Motion stood up to its name, Electric and in motion, being rather dynamic and energizing. Its fragrance is quite comfortable to olfaction, not too strong but still has spice and somewhat sensual, making it both sporty and casual. This makes the perfume versatile enough to be used during physical activities, like in the gym, or on more relaxed dinner dates and other casual daily activities.

Base notes

The aroma of Boss in Motion Electric dries down into the signature woodiness and spice of Boss in Motion, ordinary but not at all dire, not impressive but not disappointing as well. There is no hint of the aquatic note or the tea scent as the Electric edition dries down, only the masculine scent of woodiness and spice can be perceived. This can sometimes be a drawdown considering the only thing that makes this edition of Boss in Motion interesting is its tea scent; no hints of this unique smell can be professed during dry down. Clearly, the base note of Boss in Motion is boring. A big disappointment after the very intriguing top and heart notes.

Disadvantage

Being a limited edition, Boss in Motion Electric is quite difficult to find in retail stores or in the internet. There is a great need to be cautious in purchasing the product online for a lot of reported sites are selling fake perfumes while the worst ones never do deliver the package.

Apt for all occasions

Boss in Motion Electric edition is dynamic enough to be used in casual, formal, and sporty occasions. It has a refreshing feel excellent on warm occasions but still has the same great upshot on much colder seasons.

It’s versatile enough to be worn with a suit, or in the gym. It is also fitting for dinner dates or in the office. It boosts up confidence when in a meeting or when with a date. The freshness of Boss in Motion Electric especially come in handy to athletes, it energizes as well as mask the smell of secretions.

For men of all ages

There is actually no age limit for this edition of Boss in Motion. Its sweetness and its aquatic note makes it fit for younger men but the woodiness as well as its spicy scent makes it apt for older men as well. Though it can do either, it does smell better on older males.

The packaging

Like all other Boss in Motion editions, this one also comes in the same modernized but purposeless sphere shaped bottle that, in contrast to older editions, is in a silver vinyl shine.

To get the contents out a button has to be pressed under the bottle; the way to do this is by using the thumb exerting pressure upwards. The perfume then frees at a whole situated above and in front of the sphere. Rather unique yes, but can be a little cumbersome for those who has smaller hands, not at all convenient for users.

Duration

It will require about a minimum of four sprays to get enough fragrance to last for three to six hours, any lesser than that and the perfume just fades away. This means that for daily use, the Boss in Motion Electric can be a little too expensive. A single bottle cannot last longer than a month. Considering that it is a discontinued perfume it’s just not worth the bother.

Tips

For a lengthier scent, have the perfume sprayed on areas like the section under each corner of the jaw, at the wrist or just above the elbow, and even better behind the knees. Placing the product on these areas prolongs the time that the perfume excretes fragrant molecules. Having the perfume sprayed at lower areas of the body allows for the perfume to elevate throughout the entire anatomy.

Overall appeal

The primary reason why Boss in Motion is very interesting is its earl grey tea constituent. The tea scent of this fragrance makes it really enthralling and having been coupled with the citrusy smell of bitter orange then results into a rather fresh and clean appeal.

It is a fairly nice fragrance that it can be rather addictive. It’s the kind of perfume one can’t get over with. It is a fixative and ones you can sense its fragrance you will surely not want to miss it for a single day. It is apt for daily use, may it be at school, in the office, outdoors, or in much more formal occasions. It lacks the irritating quality of the other former Boss in Motion editions. It is light and rather bright boosting up confidence and energy.

Despite all its positive attributes though I cannot say the least that it is worthwhile to waste time searching for this perfume online, since it is no longer available in stores. Other perfumes does better than this one, Gucci for example smells better than this.

The soul of a fragrance perfume lies in its heart and base notes, the problem with this Electric edition is that it loses its appeal just by the start of dry down. It tends to transform into the boring woodiness of all Boss in Motion perfumes, although it’s not at all a bad scent, it’s also a very common aroma and Boss in Motion has not made it quite better, other cheaper and more common fragrances for men does the same and most are way better than this one.

Product description

Boss in Motion Blue comes in the same flacon designed bottle made of pewter, shaped in a perfect sphere, as with the original Boss in Motion perfume with difference only in color. Boss in Motion Blue comes in an aquatic blue colored bottle in contrast to the original grey colored 2002 Boss in Motion.

The blue edition has top notes of cardamom, pineapple leaf, frozen lemon, and wild mint, with middle notes of jasmine, nutmeg, clary sage and pimento, which end in base notes of sandalwood, teakwood, and patchouli.

About the scent

Top note

The blue edition captures consumer attention with its alluring fresh sweet and minty scent with strong hints of spice. The head note of the blue edition is characterized by the sweet smell of green pineapple leaf, and frozen lemon mixed up with the smell of wild mint and with cardamom giving it a spicy feel.

The initial scent of Boss in Motion Blue Edition is not at all bad but not uncommon as well. The scent gives the perfume an aquatic feel reason why it’s called the Blue edition. This fresh and minty scent distinguishes the Blue edition from its predecessor. Unique for the designer Hugo Boss but not at all unique for other fragrances, it does not stand out, so to say.

Middle note

The fresh sweet minty and spicy sense of the Blue edition’s top note transforms into a sweet and calmative aroma, but still with a little bit of spice and with a very subtle woodiness, giving it quite a manly touch.

The middle note also called the heart note is attributed to the spicy scent of nutmeg and pimento coupled up with the sweet spiciness of clary sage which also has some woodiness or rather hay like smell to it. The combination of these fragrances is well enhanced by the sweet calmative aroma of jasmine giving the scent an aphrodisiac character to it.

Yes, the Boss in Motion Blue edition is a magnet for women, it draws attention.

Base note

Boss in Motion Blue terminates into the very manly scent of woodiness with some hints of sweetness and mints, making it smell rather refreshing. The base note of Boss in Motion Blue is a quality of the mixture of; sandalwood, teakwood, responsible for the woody aroma; vanilla bourbon, reason for the sweet scent; and patchouli giving it a minty flavor.

A thumbs up to the Blue edition for not losing its aquatic feel. It boosts up confidence and refreshes all the way till dry drown. Though it is not at all unique in its fragrance it does not have the same irritating and annoying smell as with the other Boss in Motion fragrances.

The bottle

Same as with other Boss in Motion editions, this Blue edition is presented by a quite unique and contemporary bottle that though is fascinating to the eye does not serve its purpose.

Boss in Motion Blue is contained in a pewter made bottle shaped in a sphere. Little enough to carry around but is awkward in the pocket and deceiving to the eye. It can look perfect in your windowsill but is quite a little off when placed beside other cosmetics. Not a big draw down though.

One other problem with its packaging is that it’s a little difficult to spray enough amounts in a very little time. The contents take quite some time to surface, a big draw back when one is in a hurry.

The price

Boss in Motion Blue costs the same amount as with its predecessor. Though it does not smell bad, quite good in fact, it is not at all unique. Other colognes can smell even better but are way cheaper. Those who use Boss in Motion are in fact paying for its brand name and not the product itself.

Small tip

Some people’s skin are not well-suited to the scent of the Blue edition, this happens to almost all products. Humans have distinct smell from each other, some have subtle odor, almost impossible to perceive, while others have relatively strong ones, making it unfeasible to craft a perfume that would suit everyone, not considering the differences in preference.

It is essential, therefore, to do skin testing before deciding to purchase a perfume. That is to ensure that the scent will smell good on your skin. This is especially true for Boss in Motion Blue being an oil based perfume which makes it hard to get rid of.

When applying Hugo Boss or any other perfumes for that matter, apply it on pulse areas; above the throat, at the wrists, behind the knee and on elbows, these areas are warmer than most parts of the body making the perfume excrete fragrance for longer lengths of time.

Uses

Boss in Motion Blue edition is rather casual in its scent apt for daily use but not suitable for more formal gatherings. Useable for warm occasions but tend to have a diminished effect on winter seasons. It is versatile enough to be used in the gym and does not mix badly with the stink of human sweat.

When on a date, this Blue edition can come in very handy. Boss in Motion Blue edition is likely to have an aphrodisiac upshot for most women, an effect of its jasmine constituent, very useful for men.

Owing to its refreshing feel, Blue edition can also be of great help at work or in meetings. It boosts up a person’s confidence and it has an energizing effect. It can be very useful for one who has forgotten to take a bath.

Perfect for….

The casual appeal of this Blue edition makes it perfect for men of all ages, and by men that means not including boys. Its aquatic aroma can suit younger or much older men. It is casual, apt for men’s daily affairs. Suitable for dinner dates or more contemporary bar hopping. Its sweetness and spice can be strong enough to mask the smell of cigar and the even stronger odor of liquor.

Overall appeal

Boss in Motion Edition Blue has a really alluring fragrance. It is sweet but not sweet enough to be feminine, spicy, but not too strong, making it non-irritating but rather appealing. It is minty and fresh reason for its energetic effect, and despite its many flavors it manages still to be a little woody making it very manly.

After its entire enthralling elements, I still cannot say it’s the least bit unique. Other fragrances for men offer the same features; sweetness, spice, woodiness, and mint but this Blue edition it is not at all bad. It is in fact a lot better than its forerunner the 2002 Boss in Motion. But products from other designers do offer better options. The good thing about this design of Hugo Boss is that it stands up to what it’s supposed to offer. The fragrances featured in its product description are well distinguished.

Other than the above mentioned, Blue edition does have a long endurance. It stays on for six to nine hours, does not let you down indeed. The best thing about it is that it has a cooling effect and is not awkward to the skin unlike other oil based perfumes which have a bit sticky feel to it.

Fragrance of Hugo

Hugo by Hugo Boss is cologne for men, launched in 1995, by the house of Hugo Boss designs. It gives no complications but simply good, fresh, and classic cologne for men. The opening scent is composed of green apple, lavender, mind and grapefruit; then followed by the heart tone, a more friendly level of tone, of geranium leaves, clary sage, carnation and clove; and then lastly, a more concentrated and longer lasting tone of fragrance consisting of moss, vetiver, pine needle, and patchouli reveals. Indeed, refreshing and bright cologne is made through Hugo by Hugo Boss for Men. Behind this successful scent is the nose of Bob Aliano, perfumer of the house of Hugo Boss and creator of some Giorgio Beverly Hills fragrances.

Truly Masculine

Hugo cologne for men By Hugo Boss is one of the most garish yet subtle killer fragrances for men. The over-all spicy fresh blend isn’t too showy, it gives a very masculine vibe that keeps body fresh and clean, and spanking fresh out from shower fragrance. The scent is not so fruity, a little floral sweeter but musky… and super sexy. It is sporty and casual, a simple charmer invoking to women.

Scent of Romance

Women would love so much to dream about walking with their men by the shoreline of a peaceful yet sunny beach, feeling the fresh breeze of the sea, and of course, the smell of so fresh and so clean man. He is fragrant, yet not being very much scented, sweet and a bit floral but with the masculinity of musk. It is not too strong nor too light, just the right fragrance that makes it very irresistible to be closer to that man.

Bottle of Hugo By Hugo Boss

This Hugo cologne for Men by Hugo Boss comes in a bottle that is cylindrical, clear glass bottle with a slight neck on the top, looking similar to the shape of traditional milk bottles. The glass body is so clear and clean looking, nothing complicated. It has a nozzle in gray and nothing very special.

Keeping your Hugo Bottle Fresh

Having excellent colognes or perfumes like Hugo by Hugo Boss, a good way of storing it must be observed to keep it fresh. Exposing this bottle to excessive cold and hot temperature may affect the right balance of perfume chemicals and notes. Avoid storing in a place where it is directed to sunlight because other than it could affect the chemical balance, the fluids may evaporate easily. Of course, always remember to seal the bottle well. Medicine cabinets in the bathroom may not be an ideal storage room since it is humid and temperature may get warmer when hot shower is being used.

What Critics Have to Say

Hugo cologne by Hugo Boss is a neither strong nor light scent but just the right balance of sweetness, musk, and floral. True, many women dream their men to smell like Hugo By Hugo Boss. It encourages a romantic aura. Women love it so much that they want to wear it too. It has become a unisex scent. It loses the masculinity of it as how it is supposed to be. But the good side of it, women want it so much that they are willing to buy one for their men, and perhaps with the slight intention of sharing it.
