Absolute beast! First time I used this I tried it on my arm in the store. Later that night I had a long hot soak in the bath; full body wash. After I got out and dried off I could still smell it on my arm!!!
I’ve been testing this one 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! 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 & Absolu are just ridiculously phenomenal! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 And Triumph … wow.
I bought it yesterday and wore it for a night out...14 hours later you could still smell it. Even after I took a shower there was a slight scent of it.
@@Alritealritealrite me personally triumph elixir becauee it has a different scent profile than both bottled elixir and absolu, but it all comes down to personal preference and your collection. I got a couple of comments on my first wear with triumph. But i can see it performing great during these fall nights
Great review. This scent is incredible. It's a nice warm spice, semi-sweet, with a touch of smoke. It's hands down my fall/winter scent this year, along with Boss Elixir. Two great scents, Boss!
Yup, it’s my favourite for a long long time. I’ve had it a couple weeks and it’s a third down. I even wear it to the sauna as it fills the air so nicely. I’m getting another bottle for sure. Ps love your reviews.
Its even more close farenheit parfum because of the sweetnes, i have both and made the comparison and yes, youd have to know both really well to tell apart, now i use triumph elixir cause its way harder to get farenheit parfum
I tried this at the airport Duty-Free shop recently and I'm skipping this one. It smells GREAT, but it gives me Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud Azraq/Montale Honey Aoud vibes with small remnants of Gucci Intense Oud. I own these, so it would be redundant for me. I can see this selling really well, though! 🙌🏾
How did boss become the best designer house over night lol. Bottled elixir. Bottled Absolu and the scent elixir are 3 of my fave designers in recent years
First few minutes it’s nice but then that screechy note from Boss The Scent tries to emerge. Don’t believe the hype, in my opinion of course. Guerlain (in Uk) currently has 20% off, far better to invest in a bottle of Habit Rouge Parfum. And Ash I do enjoy your videos, you remind me a little of Bill Hicks.
It's all about choosing bottle colors like how people choose Gatorade flavors can't even tell you the names.. I like the blue or the red even the purple 😂
@@anarcos2934 in Terms of smell, i think you have to compare These for yourself. It depends what you Like more. For me personnaly, i Like the Elixir way more. Less sweet, more pushing Forward and Not as sour as the absolue. Performance is the Same.
@@ryit.1885💯 agree with you! Personal preference, I prefer the Absolu, because it is sweeter. I "REALLY" liked exlir when I sampled it, and thought hey that's great. But when I sprayed absolu I was 😍...
I thought I felt the same way u til I sniffed this at Sephora while out of town. Paid full retail for it, because I had left my bag with my fragrances for the trip at home, and I don’t regret this purchase.
Man this stuff stanks!!!!I've had many girls tell me smells horrible when I wear it smells like a 80 yr old man right up there in the stanker scale with Creed Aventus
Boss Bottled Absolu is not my kinda scent at all, there is something that is off-putting for me in it, mayby it's the leather or it just don't fit my skin, i do prefere the ELIXIR...❤
now imagine someone who does not like amber as a predominant note and none of you "high end" reviewers spent 1 nano second mentioning it altho clearly listted correctly on fragnatica, no 1 note amber... it looks like you all read a script/marketing material and don't really review it, how can amber be not noticed here althoi so in your face the most predominant note... tested it just today in an airport just wondered how this can happen quite amazing
Boss Bottled just keeps coming out with these new leveled up flankers
In the far drydown, I get a mix of Boss Bottled Elixir and Layton. LOVE IT!!! This is a total fall and winter banger.
Carlton from boss.
Boss coming out with many bangers recently. Bottled Elixir, the scent elixir were worth buys.
Absolute beast! First time I used this I tried it on my arm in the store. Later that night I had a long hot soak in the bath; full body wash. After I got out and dried off I could still smell it on my arm!!!
Use soap in your bath next time. 👍😉
Just received my blind buy of this...I love it..its a dark rich scent that keeps on revealing levels..unreal
Boss is a slept on house for sure.
Tried this new Absolu on a tester card, I'll definitely pick it up at some point👍
Boss has been killing it lately!
I got The scent elixir. Believe me it's crazy
Just picked this up at Kohl’s/Sephora… I’m in love! It quickly became the favorite scent I own.
What a fragrance, loved boss elixir and boss parfum and again love this absolu banger lol

I picked up triumph elixir over this and I do not regret it!
For me It's between those 2 now. Which one of those do you think would be the better choice? I do have the boss bottled elixir already

Im really thinking of buying the bottled elixir until this absolu and i find this one better
Im waiting for your review of Van Cleef Moonlight Rose so more people can experience it. Def my fav buy this year
He always loves the new scent that you haven’t bought yet better.
Ash, got my boss bottled absolu, you know what it smells like, pure Havana from Thierry mugler, I love it …
Review starting at 4:10 is crazy
@@diegoleal1207 we like it
Currenty have boss bottled edp, I'm still waiting for my bottle of absolu to ship. Really stoked about this one.
That donkey is the new meme of the chanel😂
Great review. This scent is incredible. It's a nice warm spice, semi-sweet, with a touch of smoke. It's hands down my fall/winter scent this year, along with Boss Elixir. Two great scents, Boss!
Is the leather really noticable? Not a fan of leather.
@@patrickmeijer2796noticeable id say yea but not heavy, I suggest sampling first
Great video and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day
I agree with you on this one. Elixir is a great fragrance, but I prefer Absolu. I can’t decide between Absolu and Parfum.
Bought it today. It’s unbelievable 👍🏼
Yup, it’s my favourite for a long long time. I’ve had it a couple weeks and it’s a third down. I even wear it to the sauna as it fills the air so nicely. I’m getting another bottle for sure. Ps love your reviews.
To me triumph elixir reminded me of Fahrenheit parfum . Never had them side by side but spraying it in macys … it hit me immediately as Fahrenheit
Its even more close farenheit parfum because of the sweetnes, i have both and made the comparison and yes, youd have to know both really well to tell apart, now i use triumph elixir cause its way harder to get farenheit parfum
Thank you Ash.
Absolu is great, picked it up a while ago, has some similarities to Van Cleef & Arpels Orchid Leather - one i really like.
@@Frostulf orchid leather is amazing. That line up has some gems!
I tried this at the airport Duty-Free shop recently and I'm skipping this one. It smells GREAT, but it gives me Swiss Arabian Shaghaf Oud Azraq/Montale Honey Aoud vibes with small remnants of Gucci Intense Oud. I own these, so it would be redundant for me.

Saw that this was out. I def plan on getting it, but after this video I will probably pick it up sooner rather than later.
Best release of 2024! Boss Bottled Absolu is to die for 🔥 I immediately purchased a 200ml at discounter. Full price is definitely worth it, too.
Great review Ash
Bought this cologne today. Wish I went with intense with you or most wanted. 6/10
I really loved bottled night.
How did boss become the best designer house over night lol. Bottled elixir. Bottled Absolu and the scent elixir are 3 of my fave designers in recent years
I can't find The Scent Elixir yet and I'm dying to check that out
Hey Ash, can you do a review of the new Issey Miyake Le Sel d'Issey? :)
Spot on review, Ash. 😊
To me it’s just a much much smoother red tobacco. Almost exactly the same just way more polished.
Which one should I get elixir or absolu
Can't wait to try this
Nice review and choice's love the video Gents Scents stay motivated Dream big 1 mill on the way
Macy's is running 20% off right now. 100ml for $119. Got one on the way!
Reminds me of mancera’s red tobacco but better!
Thank you for the video.
elixir and absolute which one is the best and stay long??
Reminds me of sharp version Parfums De Marly Carlisle
Ash… a request to try Trussardi Paintings of Palazzo and get into some of the extraordinaire line from Van Cleef & Arpels….pretty please lol
I smelt this one and this was so amazing
Hugo Boss is on a HEATER🔥Elixir, The Scent Elixir, Triumph and now Absolu
Welp, I bought it. Let's give it a try.
This is better than Boss Bottled Elixir?
Which one? scandal absolu or boss bottle absolu?!
Love that bottle though.. I got to try it out
I usually dont get desighners because of performance there gone in 2 hours with projection in hour .
For fall and winter or summer fregnance?
that's a Chris Collinsworth-level frame slide in..sick
"Now here's a Boss Bottled worth having in your collection."
Just picked it up on discounter. Sorry if you paid retail
Where?
How’s elixir compared to absolu (Canada winters)
I really like it - Yeah! 👍
I prefer elixir
Ordered my bottle yesterday. Can't wait to get it in.
Stop messing around, Ash, and give us Victorian Tobacco 2.0 with Malul. And that Envy-like frag you've been working on too!🙏♥️
One of these smells strikingly similar to Bentley Man Intense. I think it was Triumph Elixir.
I smelled this scent at the airport in Dubai a week ago. It's phenomenal. I'll definitely get it.
I have an unfortunate feeling this will still fly under the radar for a lot of people as boss bottled seems to do
boss bottled absolu on fragbuy 92 for 100ml 66 for 50ml
Boss absolu or Armani Code EDP?
At Sephora, I was considered Code Le Parfum, u til I smelled this. Bought the Bottled Absolu.
Smells like a more chocolatey/bitter version of Layton to my nose. Overhyped, but to each their own.
Which one is better BB Absolu or Triumph?
absolutely absolu
First few minutes it’s nice but then that screechy note from Boss The Scent tries to emerge. Don’t believe the hype, in my opinion of course.
Guerlain (in Uk) currently has 20% off, far better to invest in a bottle of Habit Rouge Parfum.
And Ash I do enjoy your videos, you remind me a little of Bill Hicks.
I sampled it last week and to be honest to my nose it just smells like Bottled Elixir with some added leather which goes away after an hour.
Did you buy this or get sent it?
how is the performance compared to Detour Noir?
They’re completely different fragrances but they’re strong performers
Wow!!! Awesome
This stuff is killer!
Gonna get myself a 100 ml bottle asap!
What a coincidence the video released the exact morning fragbuy puts it in stock.. collusion you say 😂.. such a random coincidence
please someone, is there any difference between le male le parfum made in france and made in spain?
The cap is sleek!
They drop new stuff every week?
Boss really ran out of names for their fragrances. Absolute? Absolu? Really?
Next it'll be Boss Bottled Abso, then just Ab, can't fault their logic...
It’s okay. Absolute doesn’t exist anymore anyway.
Boss Bottled Definitely
@@flightgravity7483 oh but Boss The Scent Absolute exists.
It's all about choosing bottle colors like how people choose Gatorade flavors can't even tell you the names.. I like the blue or the red even the purple 😂
Hugo boss elixir is it stay longer??
Again, learn english
Redundant if you have the elixir already.
The Opening is a bit fresher and imo more sour. Drydown is more sweeter as the Elixir. Thats it.
which one is better in terms of smell and performance?
@@anarcos2934 in Terms of smell, i think you have to compare These for yourself. It depends what you Like more. For me personnaly, i Like the Elixir way more. Less sweet, more pushing Forward and Not as sour as the absolue. Performance is the Same.

@@ryit.1885 its hard to explain the diffs between elixir and absolu but its easy for me to like the absolu than the elixir
I guess I am becoming more selective. It’s ok… bought it tried it returned it. I like the Elixer better. 😂
After they discontinued Boss Bottled Intense i kind of disregarded the whole Line. Elixir intrigued me, but this one brought it back for me
0:56 Things an influencer never says
Am I the only one who thinks it is a bit like tuxedo in the opening
I don't know any Boss fragrance, who smells excellent. It's middle level.
I thought I felt the same way u til I sniffed this at Sephora while out of town. Paid full retail for it, because I had left my bag with my fragrances for the trip at home, and I don’t regret this purchase.
Idk, this fragnance reminds me of layton pdm
122euros for that or 92 euros for emporio armani stronger with you tobacco???
It's different, boss better, I got both of them
@cookiethumper8709 thank you!
Is too sweet
I agree
Nope it’s not.
Man this stuff stanks!!!!I've had many girls tell me smells horrible when I wear it smells like a 80 yr old man right up there in the stanker scale with Creed Aventus
Boss Bottled Absolu is not my kinda scent at all, there is something that is off-putting for me in it, mayby it's the leather or it just don't fit my skin, i do prefere the ELIXIR...❤
Just don't think it smells very nice . In my opinion , will stick with JPG Le Male le Parfum.
I feel like 2024 has had more releases than 2022 and 2023 combined 😅
I’m buying now. Lol
I tried it,but i don't like it. Just not for me,too heavy.
Man this smells like Layton 😮
I gotta admit, I had to watch the vid because of the donkey in the opening 😂
now imagine someone who does not like amber as a predominant note and none of you "high end" reviewers spent 1 nano second mentioning it altho clearly listted correctly on fragnatica, no 1 note amber... it looks like you all read a script/marketing material and don't really review it, how can amber be not noticed here althoi so in your face the most predominant note... tested it just today in an airport just wondered how this can happen quite amazing
stand correction [ Aromatix ] dude seems to be the only one mentioning it
I tried to like this but man it settled down into an ashtray odor.
👍👍👍👍👍
It's time to hop on finasteride and minoxidil, Ash.
