Hugo Boss Orange EDT in detail
Orange EDT is made by Hugo Boss. Its strength is Eau de Toilette.
Day or night?
This is more of an evening scent: it shines at dinners, dates and nights out. Its vanilla side feels cosy and rich after dark.
How long it lasts
Expect about 3 to 6 hours on skin, which is about average for a perfume. As an Eau de Toilette, it is lighter than an Eau de Parfum, so it fades sooner. Rayhaan Terra and Laboratorio Olfattivo Tonkade last longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like vanilla and woody notes are the part that stays longest on the skin.
Orange through the year
It is at its best in winter. It is less suited to summer. From best to least suited, the seasons are winter, fall, spring and summer.
How far it spreads
Its sillage is medium. People near you can smell it. Three or four sprays give a good balance. Rayhaan Terra and Parfums De Marly Delina Exclusif spread further.
Is Orange your kind of scent?
The strongest accord is vanilla (100%), followed by woody and fruity. You will probably like it if you enjoy vanilla and woody smells and notes like incense and vanilla. Perfume fans rate it 3.98 out of 5.
