Advantages: Light Smell for Daywear.

Disadvantages: Lots of people wearing it.

I have to admit I am a very big fan of Hugo Boss perfumes in general, and this one is no different - I absolutely love it.

~~Packaging~~
The packaging is a simple yet distinct design which can automatically be attached and associated with the Hugo Boss range. This one comes in a lovely dark red frosted glass with a silver lid. The lid is easily pulled off to find the usual 'squirt' button found on most perfumes. The wording on the bottle is simple and minimalist in a silver writing.
Whilst the bottle isn't clear, when held up to light you can clearly see how much perfume is left, without it coming as a complete shock when it is no longer coming out the bottle!
The bottle, like most perfumes, comes with outer packaging. In this case the outer packaging is a small cardboard box again following the general colour theme of red.


~~The Perfume~~
Hugo Boss is an increasingly popular brand, so any perfumes have a reputation to live up to - this one included.

Obviously the most important aspect of the perfume is the smell! Well obviously I really love this perfume. The best way that I can describe it is a fruity yet woody/musky smell. The smell contains berries, vanilla and musk - whilst this might sound like an odd combination, it really does work well together.

The perfume itself is not too overpowering, which is great if like me you get headaches from very strong perfumes! Yet equally it will not fade away after and hour or so of wearing - like some perfumes do (a problem I have had with many perfumes!).

The only problem I have with this perfume is that as it has become increasingly popular, and I have found many of my friends have this too. This isn't a problem unless you like to be unique like me!

Now if your anything like me you will have a 'day' perfume and a 'night' perfume. Because this is a lighter perfume I do find that this is perfect for day use, while I do tend to go for something a little stronger for evening use. But obviously this is all down to personal preference.


~~Price~~
When I bought mine originally it was in a 90ml bottle (which lasted for ages!), I cant remember how much I paid but after looking around a bit, it seems that it can now be purchased for around £40.

Like most perfumes it is available in gift packs with extra goodies such as body lotions. However, obviously this will come at a cost and personally I find these body lotions do the perfume no justice.
