Hugo Boss Bottled Sport
They say:
The BOSS BOTTLED. SPORT man is primed to succeed: competitive, driven
and ambitious. For him success is not attained by chance, but achieved
through considered mental preparation. The new scent features a vigorous
composition of captivating citrus top notes combined with clean, fresh
heart notes over an aromatic, woody base. The result: a high-tech,
energetic fragrance providing the perfect preparation for the challenge
ahead.
I say:
Top: Grapefruit
Heart: Cardamom tempered by lavender
Base: Vetiver
Initially Bottled Sport smells strongly of grapefruit - to such an extent that you can't really pick out any other notes. However the heart and base notes seemed to blend upon dry down, creating a not unattractive fresh and spicy vetiver fragrance that would be a great "gym bag" scent. Vetiver is one of my favourite bases so naturally I like the smell. Lasting power is average at five hours or so, which is perfectly adequate - I envisage using it after a lunchtime workout - as it's not really suitable for evening-wear. The bottle is the BOSS standard design, so it's both stylish and practical - the latter attribute being very important in something destined for a lifetime of getting thrown about in a gym bag.
Where: After a gym shower on a Friday afternoon.
Would I miss it if it were stolen? Un-decided.
My rating: 7/10
The shirt the bottle is on is from the excellent Charles Tyrwhitt - www.ctshirts.co.uk
