It arrived! Bourbon’s brother Black came in today! I checked to see if there were any reviews — nothing yet, but mine will be coming soon. It smells great by the way!

Tonight, after my shower, I reached for Hugo Boss Bottled Absolu and gave myself a few sprays. Right away it felt smooth and comforting, like putting on something familiar but upgraded. It opens warm and slightly sweet, with a rich depth that instantly feels more grown and confident. As it settles on my skin, I get a cozy blend of woods and amber, with just enough sweetness to keep it inviting without being loud. It smells polished and clean, but also deep and masculine. This is the kind of scent that feels calm and put-together, not rushed or flashy. About 20–30 minutes in, it really starts to shine. The warmth comes through more, almost creamy, and it feels perfect for the evening. It’s relaxing, classy, and makes me want to slow down and enjoy the night. Overall, this is a great after-shower fragrance for winding down. It feels confident, smooth, and comforting—like something you wear for yourself, not to impress anyone else.
