Nice packaging, distinctive and beautiful scent
What does the promo say?--
"Boss Femme, the new interpretation of femininity, is a floral sheer oriental fragrance that represents ultra feminine beauty. Complementary ingredients form a radiant cloud of sophisticated femininity. The fresh citrus Tangerine note lifts the emotions, preparing the senses for the floral bouquet."
--Packaging--
Comes in a lovely square pink cardboard box with silver embellishments, the cursive feminine script of the perfume`s name contrasting nicely with the stockier Boss logo. The bottle itself is a thing of beauty that looks really pretty on the dressing table. It`s 8-10cm tall, and about 6 or 7cm in diameter, with a clear lid (plastic, but it certainly looks like glass) and bottle (glass this time), revealing the pink perfume within. The top of the lid is flat, but where the lid and bottle meet, the bottle and lid are both cut curved rather than flat, making the bottle look really new and different. The `femme` logo embossed onto the curved edge of the bottle is also a really nice touch. The lid comes off easily and is equally easy to click back on, with there therefore being no risk of spillage. The bottle is a spray mechanism, as many modern perfumes are: in this age of travel and convenience, I think many perfume companies are seeing the error of bottle designs that aren`t conducive to this. It is slightly heavier than many other perfume bottles, though, but other than that, so far, so good.
--Scent--
As promised, it`s sophisticated and floral, with a slightly Oriental feel to it. However, I really couldn`t pick up the tangerine notes at all, and I perhaps wouldn`t have been able to put my finger on the Oriental-ness if I`d not read the promotional material. Perhaps they need to inject an Oriental flavour into their advertising slightly? It`s also quite a light scent that isn`t too overpowering and is thus suitable for all occasions.
--Longevity--
Really disappointing. A shame, as it`s a lovely scent. If you`d paid full price for this you`d probably be feeling slightly ripped off as you have to reapply it every couple of hours.
--Value for money--
Pretty good if you buy from Fragrance Direct or any similarly reputable discount fragrance store. However, I don`t think it`s worth the RRP and wouldn`t want to pay more than about £25 for a bottle.

A head turner
Having previously bought this for my sister for her birthday, I loved it so much I asked for this for christmas.
SCENT/SMELL/NOTES
It`s a lovely fresh eau de parfum, fruity in fragrance and very light on the skin. This perfume lasts a long time and is described as an oriental fragrance. Now I can see you thinking "oriental", but it really does. Very Thai, perhaps, with notes of possibly Orchids or Jasmine. This subtle fragrance will certainly turn some heads!
APPEARANCE
The bottle itself is very compact and although not the most ioutrageous of packaging (just a cylinder really) it does look nice on the bathroom shelf!
SIZE & PRICE
This parfum comes in a 30ml and 50ml bottle and varies in price between £22 and £36 depending on size and where bought. This may seem a little pricey but remember the fragrance does last all day. Also remember that this is Hugo Boss` lates perfume and they always bump up the prices for new ones and have hardly any offers. Look out for gift sets and I`m sure when a new fragrance comes out this one will become more reasonably priced.
WHERE TO BUY
YOu can buy this from many places like your local boots or super drug or any perfumery. SOme chemists also stock it. Best prices are found on the net though try fragrancenet. They sell everything and some without the boxes so it makes it cheaper.
This perfume is highly reccomend for everybody including the girliest of girls to your mothers, daughters and grandaughters - give it a try!
