Hugo BOSS Femme Gets a Summer Price Cut
The Perfume Shop has slashed the price of Hugo BOSS Femme Eau de Parfum 75ml from £89 to £41.99, a 52% reduction that saves shoppers over £47. The offer coincides with a packaging refresh for three classic Hugo BOSS women's fragrances: BOSS Femme, BOSS Ma Vie, and Hugo Deep Red. While the bottles have been modernized, the beloved formulas remain unchanged.
BOSS Femme, originally launched in 2006, is described by the brand as its 'most liberatingly feminine' scent. It features top notes of tangerine and blackcurrant, a heart of freesia, rose, stephanotis, and oriental lily, and a creamy musk base. The fragrance has built a loyal following over nearly two decades.
Customer Praise for the Scent
One reviewer wrote: 'I love how delicate the fragrance is, but at the same time full of character, not too overpowering. It lasts a long time, too. It's perfect for the summer. I would definitely buy it again.' Another shopper praised the new bottle design: 'Great scent as a stand-alone or layered with other floral perfumes. Soft floral scent and works great for everyday or for events. I like the new bottle over the old one as it's a bit more ergonomic.'
A long-time user commented: 'Love this perfume, I've used this particular perfume for many years. It's not overpowering, just a lovely subtle scent. I always get complimented and asked what perfume it is. Brilliant price.' Boots customers also gave positive feedback, with one calling it 'fresh and light floral but not overly sweet' and 'a lovely sophisticated perfume from Boss' suitable for day and night wear.
Mixed Reviews on Longevity
While many praised the scent, some noted it doesn't last long. One reviewer said: 'Lovely scent and I use it all the time; however, I do wish it lasted longer. It really doesn't last very long at all, which is a huge shame as it smells really fresh and airy, all while being a feminine scent.' Another shopper who repurchased it three times described it as 'a very soft and sexy smell' that gets 'a lot of compliments'.
Other Summer Fragrance Deals
For those seeking alternatives, Boots offers Calvin Klein Eternity Moment for Women Eau de Parfum 50ml at £44.25, down from £59. It features fruity top notes of lychee and guava, a floral heart of pink peony and passion flower, and a musky base with rose wood and raspberry cashmere. ASOS also has a Summer Scenting Beauty Box for £28, containing five mini perfumes from Floral Street, Shay and Blue, and Kayali.
The Perfume Shop's summer edit includes the newly packaged BOSS Ma Vie, blending fresh cactus blossom with rose, and Hugo Deep Red, a bolder combination of blood orange and ginger flower with sandalwood, cedarwood, and vanilla. Hugo Deep Red is currently £62.40, down from £78. One shopper said of Hugo Deep Red: 'Have used this perfume for years, tend to wear it when going out/special occasions. Love the smell of this, and it lasts a long time.' However, another found it didn't last: 'Smelling nice and sweet. But this is not long-lasting. I don't smell anything after half an hour. This is weird because I bought the eau de parfum.'
With over £45 off the usual price, BOSS Femme remains a compelling option for those seeking a fresh, floral fragrance for summer weddings, holidays, and special occasions without breaking the bank.
