Love it. Bought it today. First wear. A much more wearable and daily version of Bottled Elixir, which may to a bit too much for your morning coffee or for work. Not at all reduntant if you have Elixir. Similar, without the intense eastern labdanum and explosive power of the Elixir. Both have their place, and both are absolutely amazing. My Bottled Parfum is probably made reduntant because for an every day and more tamed fragrance, Absolu absolutely does a better job.

I'm reviewing this myself today and I can't help but emphasise the Bottled lines move away from the spine structure it used to have including the apple and spices. The new 3 flankers have all been centred around Amber, patchouli and frankincense. Patchouli being actually the most commonly prominent note in all 3.

Thanks for sharing! Yeah the leather is definitely not on the same level of intensity as Tom Fords Ombre Leather. Boss Bottled Absolu (to me) is a smooth leather that takes a backseat to its woodiness 😊

This one blew me away smelling it in store today, first I thought it smelled very similar to the Elixir flanker but, wearing them both side by side, the Elixir almost comes across as a freshie. The only problem is that I'm not sure when I'd ever get to wear it, as it 's might be perceived as too challenging to the general public.

Good question 😊 While they are not the same, there are definitely some similarities and they sort of share the same 'scent style'. So in a way yes. Don't think you need both unless you absolutely love quite woody and sort of smoky scents, etc and want different variations of that stuff.

It feels like they created Absolu (sort of ) based on the Elixir. With the core of both being the woodiness but whereas Elixir has a sort of freshness to it, absolu goes into a deeper and fuller woodiness + smokiness with a bit of leather to it. BB Elixir for a fresher take on that woodiness. BB Absolu for a richer take on it with an added depth thanks to the leather. BB Elixir got better over time. Not sure if it needed maceration 🤷♂️ Might do a comparison. 😊

Hmmm....That new Boss Bottled is intriguing now. I have two Boss Bottled, 1 is "OUD" and 2nd is "Parfum" which both are incredibly good and I was very impressed. I have never thought I would be impressed by Hugo Boss fragrances before when there are so many other great designers fragrances. I also bought Hugo Boss The Scent Elixir (not the Boss Bottled Elixir) and I love it! I know you also love that one. I'm like you, I also love leather notes in fragrances if that's is done right and I'm still curious with this one although you were a little disappointed with the leather note. I should try when it hits the retailers here in Canada eventually.
