The selection
Hugo Boss Alive
With Hugo Boss Alive, Hugo Boss has an Eau de Parfum for which jasmine sambac, woody notes and vanilla are on record. It is tagged floral, fruity and gourmand. Warm skin and cool skin can bring out different sides, so try both if you can.
Hugo Boss The Scent for Him
Hugo Boss The Scent for Him is filed as an Eau de Toilette from Hugo Boss; the note list on record reads ginger, maninka fruit and leather. It is tagged woody, amber and fruity. Do not judge it next to other perfumes on the same arm, as they blur each other.
Hugo Boss Bottled
From Hugo Boss comes Hugo Boss Bottled, an Eau de Parfum. On paper it lists sandalwood, cedar and vetiver. The scent families on record: woody. Smell it right after applying and again later in the day, because the first minutes rarely tell the whole story.
Hugo Boss Bottled Elixir
Hugo Boss Bottled Elixir is filed as an Eau de Parfum from Hugo Boss; the note list on record reads incense, vetiver and cedarwood essence. It is tagged woody and amber. A paper strip shows the outline, skin shows the detail.
Hugo Boss The Scent for Her
From Hugo Boss comes Hugo Boss The Scent for Her, an Eau de Parfum. On paper it lists peach, osmanthus and white musk. The scent families on record: floral, amber and musky. Notes on a list are a map, and what you notice on your own skin is the territory.
Hugo Boss Boss Bottled Beyond
Hugo Boss Boss Bottled Beyond, by Hugo Boss, comes without a recorded note list on our pages. The opening is the loudest part and the shortest, so let it pass before deciding.
Hugo Boss Boss Bottled Elixir Parfum Intense
Hugo Boss Boss Bottled Elixir Parfum Intense is on the list from Hugo Boss. Its notes are not on record here, and we do not guess them. What reads as sweet on one person can read as dry on another.
Hugo Boss Boss The Scent
Hugo Boss also has Hugo Boss Boss The Scent. We have no pyramid on file for it. Clothes hold a scent differently from skin, which makes a scarf or sleeve a useful second test.

How to test them
Spray it on the inside of your wrist or elbow and do not rub. Note what you think each time, and read your notes back at the end of the week. Wear it on at least three different days before you decide. Keep the rest of the vial for a second and third try in other weather.
The small size, 2, 5 or 10 ml, is meant for exactly that: a few honest wearings before anything bigger. Two or three samples at a time is plenty; more than that and the impressions blur. Start with 2, 5 or 10 ml and give it a few days, so that the first impression is not the only one.

Questions
How were these samples chosen?
By the tags and note lists on record for each perfume. Nothing was added from memory, the order is not a ranking, and perfumes without recorded notes are described without notes.
Why do some perfumes show no notes?
Because we only print notes we can trace to a source. Where no note list is on record, the page says so and leaves the judging to your own skin.
What is a decant?
Perfume moved from the original bottle into a smaller vial. Ours are filled by FragranceGems into glass spray vials and labelled by us, so you can wear a perfume before you decide on a bottle.
