Deep Red, from Hugo Boss was released in 2001. The perfumer behind this creation is Alain Astori and Beatrice Piquet. It has the top notes of Black Currant, Blood Orange, Clementine, Mandarin Orange, and Pear, middle notes of Freesia, Ginger, Hibiscus, and Tuberose, and base notes of Cedarwood, Musk, Sandalwood, and Vanilla.
This is an odd one for me..I'd never tried it until recently and wondered how a Boss fragrance had escaped me but I just figured there's so many that I'd just missed it. That's when I realised it wasn't for Men. I was at a friends house and used the bathroom when I scoped out what I had assumed to be the man of the houses fragrances. In a neat line on the cabinet was Cool Water, Drakkar Noir, D&G's The One and this...so you can understand my confusion. Another (Deep)Red flag for me was the EDP concentration when I read the bottom of the bottle, surprising for a mainstream masculine fragrance I thought. Anyhow, I had a tiny little try of Deep Red and I have to say I was impressed. I am a bit of a sucker for soft fruity, creamy scents and this one satisfied me. It's rich, warm fruity berries and a definite orange vibe which is both woody and spiced. The base of sandalwood and vanilla is creamy but spicy at the same time which make this less of a light feminine fragrance and more of a sexy nighttime thing or even something a guy could wear. I was certainly tempted by it although I think it would smell better on my girlfriend. An interesting discovery and a good outing from Boss.
