What Reddit owners say
4/5 Value“I smelled it in Sephora back in May. I saw it at a decent price at Nordstrom Rack around mid-July and decided to spray it on my skin, shirt, and paper at a local Sephora and kept sniffing it for a day. It grew on me, and literally the smell lingered in my room 😂. I really want another fragrance from this perfume house. They seem to have some underrated product that people don't talk about and wear. I remember Hugo Boss being my first in my high school days. Great stuff. Boss Bottled Beyond EDP is so basic but yet, well crafted.”
4/5 ComplimentsSweetness“Boss bottled edt and edp. EDT (yellow fluid) is more fresh sweet and clean like out of shower, my colleague complimented when i wore it. EDP ( dark fluid) is fresh and more spicier warm than edt, my girlfriend complimented when i wore it but not my colleague because to them its too mature for me they said. But i like the edp more its smell is calming”
2/5 Value“Their own Boss Bottled Bold Citrus (which I got last year around 50 for 100ml and 80 for 200ml) is vastly outperforming for instance their Vigorous Cologne.”
5/5“Boss Bottled Beyond is the first thing that jumps out at me. Basically just ginger, leather and wood. Of for something a little lighter but still without citrus, Heavenly Gingerlily by Molton Brown. There's an EDT and EDP and I can't remember which one I sampled. So I guess look up the notes and see if one grabs you over the other.”
5/5“I just tried to order a decant of this and they were all out 😪 I love boss bottled and looking try any that I haven't yet”

5/5“Just bought boss bottled beyond the first day I thought it smelt like dawn dishsoap but I wore it for a couple mor days and I absolutely love”
4/5“Boss bottled absolou is in all influencers top 10 it seems. I have it and think it's good . Great - not really. I think the elixir is better imo anyway”
4/5“I really like citrusy scents but expanded to various others. I have found some like Prada ocean as well as several of the boss bottled line https://preview.redd.it/pmuw194gwyah1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7ae9470e7563db616ce6581a96634b0ddf80d89c”
3/5 Batches & reformulation“I tested a open at the airport duty free, it was smelled beautiful and very strong. I assumed the bottle was open for many months and in light. Now I am wondering why this closed bottled in the box is so weak. I checked the batch number, it's from 2025, original batch of Hugo Boss Bottled Beyond”
5/5“Ive gotten my nose on a lot of fragrances, and Ocean Noir hands down is my favorite. Also, A super underrated cheapie is Boss Bottled Infinite.”
4/5“Some I got that I enjoy till now are Supremacy CE, Mandarin Sky Elixir, 9PM Rebel, Boss bottled.”
3/5 Sweetness“I tried the Elixir earlier and I remember feeling like it's a too sweet cologne, like H24 and Boss Bottled Bold Citrus. But I was in a rush so I can't be sure of that.”
4/5 Fresh & cleanWinter“I've gotten the most compliments from Boss Bottled Beyond of all the colognes I wear, not really a fresh scent but a great daily in the winter. Polo 67 EDP has gotten me some as well which is a more fresh one, lots of positive comments on the pineapple note”
3/5“It's all very subjective I guess. Personally one of my favourite perfume in my collection is Al dirgham limited edition but I hate perfumes like gentleman privee or Hugo boss bottled Parfum.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment) Office“I wear 'YSL-Y EDP', 'BDC EDP', and 'Boss Bottled Striking Lavender EDP' to the office that last well on me and doesn't offend.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“i tried out the OG last weekend it totally remined me of my boss bottled but the elixir! i think the incense/woody and ambery notes made it feel really similar to me aswell”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I have Boss OG, Boss Bottled, CK One, Ck One Red, Aramis' Havana, Bvlgari Man and Man Extreme (the last three are kinda "green") - and they are pretty goddamn spectacular.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“I was planning on getting this one for uni but not sure whether to get this one or the new boss bottled beyond edp. I have heard a lot about this one, so does this really live up to the hype?”
Not rated (no clear sentiment) Mass appeal“Boss Bottled is the ultimate safe scent. I've gone through three bottles. Honestly, I just grab mine from Amazon now. Their premium fragrance section is actually stacked these days.”
Not rated (no clear sentiment)“Boss Bottled, Aventus, Bal DArfrique, Chanel allure Blanche…. I work for the government so I have to be selective :)”
