Non-Boss Bottled Elevated Citrus and Patchouli

Late afternoon wear. All of us know about the ubiquitous Boss Bottled line, but many fewer are aware of the criminally under-marketed niche-adjacent line (The Collection). Every bottle of this collection I own is impressive. I’m not sure why Boss keeps these way out of sight unless perhaps it’s the high retail price tag – $250-$300. You can snag them much less expensively, however.

This citrus-forward fragrance is too elegant to be a freshie. The top citrus doesn’t burn off but is soon joined by the moss and patchouli.

It makes for an uncharacteristically long-lasting and elegant summer offering.
