I was given a bottle of Hugo Boss Deep Red as a gift. Not a perfume I would have necessarily bought myself on first sniff, the more I have used this scent, the more that I have grown to love it!
An instantly recognisable scent, it is fruity yet also floral and woody. Not comparable to any other perfume that I have tested. It is also a very feminine scent (I find alot of perfumes to be verging on the unisex side so this was good for me) The perfume contains pear, clementine, lily and vanilla. I think it is also a very versatile perfume that can be worn anytime, equally suitable for daytime wear or for a night out on the tiles.
The fragrance also lasts quite a while, I would say a good few hours before a fresh spray is required. Also, only a couple of sprays are required per application, so a bottle lasts quite a while. The RRP for a 50ml bottle is £34, and this would last you (depending on how regular you wear) several months.
The bottle itself is a nice shape and aesthetically pleasing. The glass on the bottle itself is clear but is covered in red plastic (an amendment that I would make!). As your perfume gets nearer the bottom, I find it quite hard to see how much there is left. My spray top also broke quite easily and now it slightly leaks, so I'd say the bottle could be improved.

This sophisticated scent fuses energy and sensuality, strength and femininity. The top more
note is a lively sparkling accord based on the fruity aroma of a cassis and pear cocktail, mixed with tonic energy of Calabrian clementine and blood orange. Heart note: a unique flower, the butterfly lily, native to eastern India and Himalayas, inspires the deep sense of femininity, rounded by discrete spicy tonalities. The base note is the perfect combination of sensual bewitching precious woods, lying on a warm and sexy accord made of vanilla and musk-like notes.
