The Scent

Crisp apple over cinnamon and polished woods: Boss Bottled smells put-together in the most literal sense. It offends no one, flatters everyone, and has soundtracked more first days of work than any fragrance alive.

Worth Knowing

Annick Ménardo (also behind Lolita Lempicka and Bulgari Black) wrote this straightforward crowd-pleaser; range is part of mastery.

Where It Came From

Launched 1998 as "Boss No. 6", which is why retailers still call it Number 6 Grey.

About Hugo Boss

The German fashion house built its fragrance empire on one idea: smell competent. Boss Bottled has been the interview-and-office standard for a quarter century, and the line's restraint is its superpower.
