Hugo Boss has a relatively new fragrance for man and its the masculine counterpart of the very succesful Boss Orange for Women. What attracts the eye the most to the tv ad is definitely the hunky good looks of Orlando Bloom (fame credited to his roles in The Lord Of The Rings & Pirates of The Carribean), and why many were anticipating this fragrance is also because of the success of its female counterpart.

Here are excerpts from www.fragrantica.com on this new scent:

''Boss Orange for Men is a powerful scent that embodies free, optimistic and joyful spirit of a man. That man is passionate, casual, spontaneous and relaxed. The composition is intensely spicy with notes of fresh apple, vanilla, warm incense and exotic African Bubinga wood.

The brand chose the actor Orlando Bloom for their campaign, as his appearance, his style, personality and cool attitude perfectly embody the image of the Boss Orange brand.''

So, Boss Orange for Men is available in Scentiments now, as we had a few customers who came in prematurely asking for it. It comes in two sizes, 60 and 100 ml, and in a nutshell, this fragrance definitely falls into the fruity-gourmand category... basically just like its female counterpart but more manly.

Swiss Army Mountain Water For Her

Here comes the latest in our Swiss Army perfume range, Swiss Army Mountain Water for Her. I must admit that when I first saw it, I fell in love with the aquamarine colour of the bottle. The smell was light and refreshing which was a novelty addition to our perfume range here for the ladies.

Most of our perfumes here are either floral, fruity or gourmand (vanilla-based), and here comes Swiss Army Mountain Water for Her, which I must say is for the ladies who likes the 'light scent, not overpowering and sweet, and fresh yet not too floral...'

A perfume website cites this perfume as "...a feminine and clean scent that evoke the beauty of switzerlands mountains, and countryside. The fragrance is airy and light with notes bergamot, neroli, violet, mate, cedar and hay. A beautiful crisp scent that is perfect for office wear..."

Honestly, I am surprised by the responses I get from customers. Not the usual I-will-say-its-nice-because-I-don't-want-to-be-rude-and-it-doesn't-stink, but a genuine and almost surprised liking to the scent. They will sniff it over and over and repeat, "This is VERY nice!" after.

On the darker side though, it only comes in one size (100ml) and it retails at RM245. Although it is still cheaper than most branded perfumes, it still remains as a factor for people to consider before purchasing. Comparatively to other brands, it is still slightly cheaper.

Verdict: A perfect day scent for those who want to smell subtly fresh and clean!
