Absolu is an “absolute” beast of a fragrance! Longevity, projection is unbelievable… if this was in a niche branded bottle it would sell for £250 easily… it’s an amazing scent for the price!

[@adhyantorokusumo7451]

Ever tried bottled elixir? Is absolu better than elixir?

[@Bond-wn9su]

@@adhyantorokusumo7451 it’s better than the elixir… it’s dark a mysterious but NOT in an Arabic oud way… it’s just different, I can’t even compare it to anything which is good! Niche!

[@marceljohnson2215]

@@adhyantorokusumo7451yes it is. I had a decant of elixir and just this week ordered a bottle of absolu after smelling it over the weekend

[@johncarloburton5611]

I have, and LOVED...Boss Bottled Elixir. Now...I need to test this Absolu asap.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I hope you love it. You will be happy you bought it!

[@ericgordon4746]

Bought it, and yes, it is great.

[@Jabba-w7y]

Just bought it, its wonderful! My wife loves it

[@michaelbullock8011]

Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try these fragrances and have a blessed day

[@originalvybepromotions7269]

Wow Sebastian - I have never heard you so exuberant about a fragrance - definitely going to sample this as soon as possible !

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Hope you like it! It's a great designer fragrance! :)

[@GoranAbraxas]

All three are great, I have two Elixirs, Absolu is on my wish list.

[@DavidGarcia-zu3hl]

Thanks for the vid! Can't wait to try this one. ANYONE who has followed your vids understands that it is the patchouli note in this that does it for you!

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Hope you enjoy

[@LizLyonsPhD]

I was just about to say, Fifty Four has that Patchouli/Davana combo and I think the Davana tempering the Patchouli is the key for me. I love that combo now. Discovering niche fragrances, first at Le Labo and then through your videos has been an epiphany for me. Now my designer bottles are off to the side and my perfume bar is dominated by indies. I can walk to our Macy's and will put this on the sample list for my next trip there. Now I am intrigued! 😍

[@parisrevels92]

I knew there would be a day that one of my favorite brands Hugo Boss would do their big one. People use to sleep on them because of projection and longevity but they’re getting the just do they deserve.

[@dparis2172]

This one is a beast.

[@eg042680]

I have the elixir and think it's great. Very, very long lasting on clothes. I wasn't excited by the release of absolu until I watched your video. Now I intend to get my nose on it ASAP. Thanks!

[@brianhendricks2361]

Hi Sebastian.have you tried Hugo Boss the collection Elegant vetiver? Man it's amazing

[@houseman7315]

Seems like Followed by Kerosene is turning into a sort of reference fragrance for performance in the fragrance world.

[@Nosey704]

This fragrance (Absolu) absolutely caught me off guard! It’s so good!, I get also a chocolately vibe from this, anyone else?. This fragrance puts me in the mind of Les Indemodables- Vanille Havane, not off the initial spray, because Vanille Havane is more boozy off the top, but the resemblance is more in the drydown for me, not a 1:1 by no means, but maybe a good alternative.

[@KingDiecast]

I bought it after your short video, and it’s really great.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

YAY. It's quite good.

[@felixthreeone]

ABSOLUtely fantastic fragrance from BOSS!

[@wilcash]

Bought it at Macy's with an added 20% discount! Solid release!🤓

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Whoa. Nice re 20% off!! It's such a great release for sure!! :)

[@shave-a-thon3415]

How did you get a 20% discount rather than the usual 15%?

[@harmoniaartificiosa]

Ordered a 100ml of Absolu before the video finished…

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I hope you like it!! 😀

[@jmg221]

Is it the Parfum intense?

[@BaBaBooeyWRLD]

😂😂😂

[@Parallax62]

heavy on the patchouli which reminds me of Mancera's Red Tobacco. Both are Beasts! Awesome fragrances.

[@bbauric]

I have the Elixir and Absolu. Elixir is my favorite of the two. Was considering returning the Absolu, but It’s since gotten me compliments. I’m keeping it lol

[@beer_bad]

I’ve been testing Absolu every day since the release in Europe, and was gonna be strong and say no. But … it’s not possible! It’s just insanely delicious! It lasts oh so long! And … layering it 50/50 with 705 Leather & Oud from N.C.P. Olfactives is just INSANE!!! It’s like seeing a double rainbow. 😭🤤 Boss bottled Elixir is pure luve, I actually think it’s one of the best I’ve smelled & Absolu are just ridiculously phenomenal! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 Absolu daytime/work, Elixir evening. Triumph … it’s a bit different, but I really like it! Three of my favourites.

[@Twizzler300]

Boss makes great designer scents. I still have og scent magnetic EDP. great long lasting unique sweet gourmet

[@c-notethepharaoh]

What about the Scent Elixir? Where does that rank amongst these?

[@niklastorshagen6365]

Is it a edp or a parfum?

[@salferaih1984]

the best one by BOSS . Period

[@KeithHowells]

Elixir is on my list to pickup soon; tested at the ATL Duty Free store; smelled amazing!! I’ll have to get my nose on Absolu

[@Chris6815]

I have the Elixir and that’s great. I have worn Absolu. I was able to sample at Sephora. It smells great to me. I really enjoyed it and the performance was strong also. I’m definitely going to get this when it comes back in stock.

[@hammers7774]

This is a game changer never really bothered with boss fragrances but this one is ridiculous just wow

[@eggmaneggman9966]

I tried the absolu. Can’t stand it. Not sure what you like about it. But that’s how it goes. Everybody has their scents they like.

[@P0rn0ralle84]

The Elixir was or is awsome too

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

The Elixir was really good until this one! :)

[@viggenone]

As I said in the other video I need to try this one. Thank you Sebastian!!!

[@mottifarchi310]

What are some popular DESIGNER reffrence fragrances, to come to terms with what patchuli smells like?

[@brainfragrances]

I still haven't properly smelled it, only in stores. As someone that absolutely despised Bottled for many years, I thought Elixir was magnificent and better than Absolu on first impression. Reminded me of Interlude, but lighter.

[@DarioFKV]

You have the Zara Vibrant Leather & Tobacco Elixir , how close is to this one ? what do you think ? tnx

[@Mojo8]

Great review, need to check this out as it sounds really good. Cheers😎

[@karaboga5984]

Is Boss Bottled Absolu actually Carlisle Exclusif?

[@mottifarchi310]

I own about 300 high-end designers, but I'm new to niche. Would Xerjoff also qualify as a house that makes 40-plus percent concentrations???

[@jimmy5634]

It’s very good. I just bought it. I give it an 8.5 out of ten. Givenchy Gentleman Reserve Privee’ is just as good.

[@dparis2172]

BBA is much more masculine. Especially in the dry down.

[@vincefry9225]

Great content

[@raulsaavedra709]

For me the Elixir takes the crown still. Absolu is good too, but I would not put it above the Elixir, rather the other way around. Similar to Le Male Le Parfum for me still standing above Le Male Elixir.

[@houseadams4841]

Agreed.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Naa, we don’t all have to agree. To me this is the best!

[@thomasglover7937]

Agreed Elixir is the best

[@rprentals]

Best designer release of 2024

[@niklastorshagen6365]

Is it a edp or a parfum?

[@demirkazanasmaz6097]

It's pretty overrated, way to sweet for me. It smells like a syrup

[@Irish_dee]

I blind bought this when it came e out as I loved the elixir and I agree with you this stuff smells amazing.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Yes. So good!!

[@MandisiManeli]

The elixir is too dope. I would love to try the absolu

[@byMRTNjournals]

Imho elixir is better. The spicy aspect works with the bitter brownness. In absolu, there's more of a sweetness that takes away from the niche leaning elixir

[@adhyantorokusumo7451]

​@@byMRTNjournalsu've tried both? Will it be redundant if I have elixir then get absolu?

[@sesame88]

If the original Boss has apple notes, I wonder how this will come out if layered with Parfums de Marly Greenley?

[@jimmyejohnson1187]

Can't to try it!

[@BigNewPrinz]

The initial few minutes I liked but then I thought it was unpleasant and generic. I absolutely adored your other Boss recommendation, Magnetic Musk, I waited and waited until Boss recently offered 20% off and got it. Amazing, DHP with honey. But I didn’t like this one at all I’m afraid (apart from the initial moments). It’s been a bit hyped in my opinion. Thank you for your videos, so entertaining and informative 😀 and my go to when I’m looking into a new fragrance.

[@Twizzler300]

From my boss collections, I've noticed they are great for an hour or two, then become base. And generic as you said. They have good performance though, the upper end of designer, but yea a bit generic after an hour or two

[@haiderjalal2425]

Can somebody tell which Hugo Boss to be bought from old releases for longevity, projection and notes

[@salvadorsanchez7093]

Is Absolu really that good? Everyone is hyping it up

[@dparis2172]

It is VERY good, but it won’t be everyone’s cup of tea.

[@orient8849]

If you like strong intens perfum yes

[@tkazch8410]

Went to Dilliards today and tried it...kind of overrated in my opinion.

[@valentinc3892]

Absolu has a Layton vibe for me

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I can see this

[@anthonyhauser3063]

What about the red bottle elixir? Is that sold in Europe only?

[@James_324]

Next up Boss Bottled Absolu Elixer

[@snowrs1]

How does this compare to say Gucci Guilty Absolute

[@mustafajakubovic2204]

This is best designer of 2024

YES totally agree!! :)

yes, macys do have it.

Going to Germany soon and will be grabbing a bottle! I did find it but they were not supposed to carry it so they wouldn’t sell it to me.

That's strange! :(

YES. Totally agree! :)

If he says a designer fragrance is good. Then I have to get my nose on it🤷

I did not like the Absolu, regret buying it, Elixir is my favorite.

When is Triumph Absolu coming out? 😆😆😆

[@johnnytetsuo864]

Have you tried out the Kenzo Homme line by Quentin Bisch?

[@jasvirsandhu1158]

It’s on Macys Sebastian

[@Vhrekhttglmhhvsz]

Saw it at macys last week in NY

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I think it launched after I shot the video as I didn't see it anywhere but Hugo Boss store but now it's everywhere. :)

[@thesavagelifestyle332]

Off topic but could you do a video on a perfume house ' Testament Collection London '? I don't see many people talking about them, not sure why as most of their perfumes are strong and fragrant 😀

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I haven't heard about them or have access to their fragrances. Will have to research! :)

[@seanchristopherjohn]

I got this a while before it launched but this is sooooooo strong. 2 sprays is literally all you need and even that is too much lol. Sadly it's just too much for me and I love my perfumes with a good projection, but this is too strong.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

That strong? Have you tried Followed?

[@001spring]

Tried it on skin, didn't like it

[@kingiscariot]

Is it worth getting this if I have the elixir ?

[@kypsunrider5983]

They are different this is not as sweet more patchouli forward fresher and more wearable than elixir!

[@thomasglover7937]

Same wheelhouse to my nose… but not totally redundant

[@funeka691]

Looking forward to putting my nose on the Bottled Absolu.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

It's really good, let me know what you think!

[@lancastergerard]

Can’t match niche concentrations. Amber oud gold edition Al haramain ‘hold my beer’

[@anabelagavinho639]

Got it for my 25 year old son, tried it and he hates it. It was ok for me. Not the fragrance of the year. Sorry.

[@WifeMadeThaStew]

What do chicks and normies think? Because if I can’t wear it around my wife or at work without choking people out then what’s the point?

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

I don't wear fragrance for others! ;)

[@Visqo1]

I'm gonna have to try this out. The first elixir was my favorite from the line

[@EveryThingOfficialYT]

do more tom ford

[@stuntmanjohnny]

Ok now I have to get my nose on this one.

[@savyvoeung2541]

Let go

[@cactu5jack]

To me it stinks. Smells like dry leather and dr pepper.

[@jensschettler1732]

Smells like a burnt kuhstall. Dondt like it. Bought the two elixiers instead and i am fine.

[@NEV3RBACKDOWN]

Its red tabacco.. Come on

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Naa

[@heermansdisability]

Smells nothing like red tobacco

[@cihandemirel]

Bought a made in Spain bottle which is no where close to German bottles. Be aware the origin affects the longevity and silage

[@BaBaBooeyWRLD]

Wow

[@lancastergerard]

That $140 though

[@jacobnoergaard]

Boss Bottled Elixir was one of my least liked releases from designers in like a decade. This one is fine, but absolutely nothing special, to be honest.

[@ThePerfumeGuy]

Let me ask you this what do you think is special if you don’t think this is special?

[@sherifelsayed504]

👍👍
