Test incense, vetiver and cedarwood essence on your own skin
Bottled Elixir is an Eau de Parfum from Hugo Boss. The house records incense at the top and cedarwood essence in the base. Trying it as a sample first means your decision rests on wearing it, not on a description. One wearing shows a mood, several wearings show the perfume. Pay attention to what is still there by the evening, since that is the part you live with longest.

The composition
The curve shows the order in which the notes come forward, not their strength.
On the skin
The house lists incense at the top of Bottled Elixir. Top notes are the quickest to arrive and the quickest to leave. What reads as sweet on one person can read as dry on another. Warm skin and cool skin can bring out different sides, so try both if you can.
For the heart, the listing gives vetiver. Wear the sample long enough to reach this stage. Smell it right after applying and again later in the day, because the first minutes rarely tell the whole story. Give it time to settle before you judge it.
The pyramid of Bottled Elixir ends on cedarwood essence. Wear the sample until this stage, so you judge the whole arc and not only the start. Try it on a normal day, not only on a special one, to see whether it fits your routine. A paper strip shows the outline, skin shows the detail.
Testing it
No season or occasion is on record for Bottled Elixir, so let your own days decide. Start light; you can always add a spray on the next wearing. Use it the way you would use a full bottle, on a normal day. Test it on skin and not only on paper.
In the listing, Hugo Boss Bottled Elixir stands as a perfume for men. A label like that is a hint, not a rule: wear what suits you. Whoever wears it decides whether it fits, not the label. Anyone who reacts strongly to certain notes is wise to test on skin first.
With a decant you find out in a week what a description cannot tell you in a page. Filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle, labelled by us: a decant, not an official brand sample. We are not affiliated with Hugo Boss. 100 ml is the size of the full bottle; the sample is the small step before it.
What you receive
We start with a full bottle of the perfume. Nothing is diluted, mixed or added.
Filled by hand into a clean glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml and closed straight after filling.
Our own label names the brand, the perfume, the concentration and the size.

Read how we fill your sampleQuestions
It is a small glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml with our own label on it. It sprays like a bottle, so you apply Bottled Elixir the way you normally would.
The recorded base notes are cedarwood essence. Wear the sample into the evening to meet them, because they come forward only after the opening and heart have faded.
Spray it on clean skin, do not rub, and check it after a few minutes, at midday and in the evening. Repeat that on a few different days before you decide about a bottle.
The brand
From Hugo Boss you find 22 perfumes here, each as a decant. Every sample is a decant in a glass spray vial of 2, 5 or 10 ml, filled by FragranceGems from the original bottle and labelled by us. We file Hugo Boss under the designer perfume samples. Start small, wear each one on a normal day and decide afterwards.

Timely info when item was back in stock. Some confusion with info about shipment updates on gls app but what is important: perfume came in perfect condition!
incredible fast delivery l. the fragrance itself its magnificent, the dry down woody base, is intoxicating. it last on me 10 hours plus. great service great fragrance
Good experience overall. Fast shipping without any incidents. Prices are good as well.
Really happy of my purchase. Serious seller, quality products, fast shipping, large catalog. I will order a lot of more !
Shipping was 5 days to Finland. Customer service was very good. Happy with the product also. Will shop again. Only thing I hope is that you guys would negotiate better price for GLS shipping to Finland. But I know that is not always possible. And I noticed the prices were lower than the competitors so the steep shipping price was not that big of a deal. Good job all in all.
Great shop with a fantastic selection and fast shipping. I was very happy with my order. It would have been a nice touch to receive a little sample, especially as I ordered two full-size products. ;)
Placing the order was very easy. Shipping was very fast. I am completely satisfied.
Plenty of perfumes and very good perfumes. Fast shipping. One negative. Expensive shipping from Netherlands to Greece
A selection of recent reviews in proportion to their star ratings.
