It is versatile enough to wear out on a date or night on the town but I like it as an everyday type of wear, especially outdoors. Boss in Motion probably isn’t at its best in the heat, so keep this strictly from fall to early spring. in Motion is one of the best-known fragrances by Hugo Boss and the signature scent of many a man. It first came out in 2002. Also referred to as aromatic water, eaux de toilette, such as this one, have a lower percentage of ethereal oils than EdPs do, normally between 5-15%. Because they are light, they are a common choice for office wear. Complex Unfolding

The opening of Boss in Motion is kind of a mess, in my opinion. I get some weird blend of basil, pink pepper, musk, and a hint of orange that has a smoky and plastic scent to it. Needless to say, I was initially disappointed when I first sprayed this juice on. Projection wise, this Hugo Boss scent is moderate. It won’t choke out the room but you’ll notice it there. Perfect for casual situations. The fresh notes in this blend tame the warmer, spicy oriental tones, lending this scent a great deal of versatility. While traditional orientals are considered winter and evening wear, the freshness lightens the impression, making this option suitable for warmer weather also. Bergamot, basil, orange and violet are included among the head of this particular EdT. These are superceded by heart notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, pepper and cardamom. As these waft away, they reveal the base of sandalwood, vetiver, musk and woodsy notes. (Vetiver, sometimes called khus, is an Indian grass similar to citronella.) Hugo Boss Fragrances: Pricing However, while I was at the gym, I kept getting a pleasant whiff of Boss in Motion and its dry down phase, that is actually really good. I’d say the first 10-15 minutes, this cologne needs to work out its issues and then after that, you get a very nice sporty casual fragrance. Overall, is Boss in Motion a buy? I say, yes. Beyond its opening problems, its a solid performer, smells nice, and has a good bit of versatility of wear.

I wouldn’t put it at the top of my favorite Hugo Boss colognes, but it is a strong outing from this brand, and worth a look if it fits your style. It’s still among my favorites they’ve released in the past decades.

Honestly, Boss in Motion became a pleasant surprise for me, its fresh and masculine but doesn’t get drawn to far into the spicy or citrus direction…it has a solid balance.
