Boss Alive Eau de Parfum

From Boss comes Alive Eau de Parfum, a fragrance which is said to have been designed to inspire you to be confident, as it is all about the essence of happiness and positivity.

A true celebration of free-spirited femininity, BOSS Alive is a sparkling fruity cocktail of plum and apple with vanilla at its heart and a surprising creamy-woody side.

With it's bright peach box, inside the bottle isn't as feminine as I was expecting to find, instead it is a chunky bottle with a gold strip which runs around it. The perfume inside is almost rose gold in colour but of course it is the fragrance itself which for me, steals the show. All fragrances feature a series of notes and I am always drawn to fragrances which feature one or two notes, the main being Jasmine in all her varieties and it was definitely one I noticed with Alive.

Alive has top notes of Apple, Blackcurrant, Plum, Cinnamon and Madagascan Vanilla which when you first spritz it really gives you a fresh fruity burst of fragrance with the plum really making itself stand out as the apple and blackcurrant sit slightly in the background as they mix with the sweetness of the Vanilla, which I am pleased to say, does not overly dominate. As Alive settles down on the skin, for me the middle notes of Jasmine Samba and Thyme really make this a stunning fragrance and prevents it from being overly sweet with the vanilla and fruit notes. The base notes of Chinese Cedarwood, Sandalwood, Olive Wood and Alaskan Goldenwood which are not as heavy as I had expected them to be, quite light but evidently there, the powdery scent of the middle notes keep everything in their place and it is definitely neither sweet not fruity but somewhere right in the middle.

For me, Alive is one of those fragrances that you can wear throughout the daytime but re-apply for the evening too.  It lasts a good 4-5 hours on my skin before I can just about still smell it and need to re-apply.  Priced at £49 for 30ml, £72 for 50ml and £82 for 80ml the fragrance is accompanied by a body lotion, shower gel and deodorant too, all of which can be found at The Perfume Shop.
