Hugo Boss Bottled Absolu vs. Bottled Elixir - Which is Better?

[@Sebastianbaraj5]

Im in my late 20s and I'm heavily considering the Elixir. Its just straight up Christmas vibes and Im HERE for it! Absolu smells good but it didn't walk up to me and give me a warm hug like the Elixir did. I would totally wear it with a heavy flannel at a party while sipping on some whiskey.

Thanks so much for another enlightening review.

[@tobiasnagel2767]

I do agree with you. Both are fantastic, but the Elixir is way more interesting

[@SDLVlifestyle]

Still waiting on my bottle of Elixir from Jomashop, i have tried both and I agree with you, I like Elixir best. I HAD to get it, that's how good it is.

[@realscentreview]

Great choice. I am considering picking up a bottle myself today after work. I'll pass by the store and see if it happens or not haha

[@RayBoland-hi8jp]

Thanks for the review.

Thanks for your comparison review here on the se two. Like you, I think I'm liking the Elixir more than the Absolut. I find the in the deep dry down of HB Bottled Absolut to be a dead ringer for the Mancera Red Tobacco dry down. But because I already have Mancera Red Tobacco, I'll stick with the Red Tobacco and not bother getting the HB Bottled Absolut. As for the HB Bottled Elixir, I get some similarities/crossover with Dior Sauvage Elixir but there's still enough difference to warrant getting the HB Bottled Elixir. The dry down of the HB Bottled Elixir is what I really enjoy here. Will be getting myself a bottle of the HB Bottled Elixir as it smells quite unique at some points throughout especially after the initial opening subsides a bit and those relative unique periods are quite enjoyable & appreciated.

I picked up Absolu 200ml for $169 when it came out. I still prefer Elixir. Elixir has a darker vibe which I enjoy. Absolu is lighter with a dusty edge. Elixir is bolder than Absolu. Performance is better on Elixir for me.

[@realscentreview]

@@william6509 Thank you! I'll see what I can do.

Hugo Boss Elixir is brilliant very niche

[@jrlakin370]

The elixir is a beast!!! I could still smell it on me after a long scrub and soak in the bath.

[@bnernganmont]

havent tried absolut but Elixir is kind of a nice cheapy substitute when i dont want to break out Sauvage Elixir

[@realscentreview]

@@bnernganmont I concur. I'd use it in the exact same situations.

Every man needs Boss Number 1.

[@ashura-w8e]

why does it smells like dried pee? like a public toilet, is this really how it smells? i have the vintage spray bottle

[@mpawel5]

Have you Heard about Loewe 7 elixir?

[@realscentreview]

@@mpawel5 Yes. Smells like Aventus but has weak performance.

[@ShahsawarM]

Try gisada ambassador intense

[@realscentreview]

@@ShahsawarM Know it. Love it

[@Kevinbbbbb]

Thanks. I have a 100ml of Boss Absolu and I don't think I really need the Boss Elixir after watching your vid. A wee bit redundant. Cheers👍

Absolu es un PERFUMAZO. Mejor incluso que Elixir.

[@realscentreview]

De acuerdo en que es un perfumazo - dura todo el día como poco y siempre me obsequian cumplidos a diestro y siniestro. No obstante, yo creo que el Elixir es la verdadera obra maestra del duo de Menardo y Helley ;)

[@anthonystevens5200]

The elixr is better, absolute was a let down and a disappointment. The patchouli in the absolute is top notch but this stuff is heavy and projection/sillage is awful weak . The elixr screams off your skin and definitely gets more attention

[@realscentreview]

I appreciate the Absolu for what it is; I'd recommend it to those who just want to smell good, while I'd recommend the Elixir to those who genuinely love perfumery. My experience regarding performance is the opposite - the Absolu is a monster on my skin, while the Elixir is perceivably weaker (though not what I'd call a weak fragrance in general).
