Hugo Boss Classic

Boss Number One, a Warm Aromatic Chypre

Hugo Boss Boss Number One is a warm aromatic chypre classic. Our version keeps that feel, opening with basil, bergamot, lemon, and grapefruit before a jasmine, sage, carnation, and rose heart settles over cedar, patchouli, musk, and oakmoss.

The Story Behind the Scent

Hugo Boss built Boss Number One as a refined, distinguished eighties scent, all bright herbs and soft flowers over a mossy base. The idea was a classic, confident elegance.

That warm refinement is its appeal. The basil and bergamot give it a bright lift, the jasmine and carnation add a soft floral touch, and the cedar and oakmoss give it a classic base. Our interpretation follows that same distinguished path.
