Description
The collection of Boss Bottled fragrances from the house of Hugo Boss started with the original in 1998. Following the flankers like Boss Bottled Night from 2010, Boss Bottled Sport from 2012, Boss Bottled Unlimited from 2014, and Boss Bottled Intense from 2015, etc., comes the new, fresh, day-time edition Boss Bottled Tonic in the spring of 2017, intended for “modern men who aspire to success.”
Boss Bottled Tonic, refreshing and not too intense, is described as an ideal scent for work and for everyday occasions. It contains notes of grapefruit, bitter orange, lemon and apple that provide zestiness at the top, with the spicy heart of ginger and cinnamon. The signature woody base of the fragrance line features a vetiver accord, described as dry, earthy and elegant.
Boss Bottled Tonic comes in a light blue bottle with a silver stopper as a 50, 100 and 200 ml Eau de Toilette.

Great watery frag. Just sweet enough. Very very well balanced.. nothing jumps out except that it smells great. Citrus/floral/aquatic and oh so smooth. Can you tell I dig this one?
Citrus and the Apple work great together. Not overpowering. Pretty linear but you don’t want this one going all lumberjack or smoking jacket
Longevity is the main thing in question.. and I gotta agree this ain’t no marathon juice. Maybe the 100. Maybe. But hey, if you drown yourself in it before you leave the house.. at least you’ll die smelling good.

I get decent longevity and solid projection from this. Come one guys, its a fresh fragrance, it wouldnt be good if this was as strong as Kouros.
On the other hand, I think this is not fresh enough for the summer heat. I get extremely soft, immasculine scent, casual-semi formal, but very beautiful. Too sweet for summer, perfect for spring.
sergeyqsz – :
most expensive water ever…
lasts 10min
do not blind buy this crap
94Shaman34 – :
Some people say it lasts for about 20min others 6-8h… The truth is that it lasts 5 min (I actually counted it)… Trust me your local edc brand is far more valuable than this…. This is just water
mixefem – :
The new, fresh, day-time edition Boss Bottled Tonic in the spring of 2017…smell is same Boss Bottled, so weak longevity!so what about night time can put it?
skifffer – :
Smells very similar to the original Tommy Hilfiger (I’d have to smell both of them together to determine differences). That is not a bad thing. I like it a lot. It’s a very pleasant, light fragrance for spring/summer.
skorobogatko180254 – :
This is possibly my favorite boss bottled flanker. So light, crispy and refreshing…however just feels like it doesn’t make enough noise. I know scents like these aren’t designed to do that but it’s the type of scent that is allowed to and won’t offend anyone. If I bought this I would probably apply more than usual as its a little bit too light. Can imagine the hot weather would radiate it out a bit though.
7.9/10
pavlin9009 – :
Brilliant smell!
But the longevity… after 4h… done!
хулиGUN – :
Went to ulta and took like 9 tester samples of boss tonic . It’s Clean, fresh, generic, and u get a hint of the original boss dna in the background.
That’s all I can really say about tonic it’s definitely not a mind blowing release from BOSS ,they could’ve definitely come out with something more unique if they took their time
Performance is also garbage btw
Longevity- 3-4 hours
Sillage – 1 hour max for me
Scent-5/10
Overall-4/10
MTV – :
Particularly surprised with this fragrance. Very fresh, ckean, spicy, a summer fragrance which makes it also very versatile. You can wear it both day and night in my opinion. Sits close to skin and performance is moderate. In my view its also grrat for a summer clubbing experience. I ll give this fragrance 8.5/10
Retikops – :
Clean, fresh and a bit spicy. Nice, but nothing really spectacular. Well, at least it doesn’t smells like deodorant, like many fresh male colognes. It even has some class to it, it could be used in some formal occasions.
In this category of clean, spicy scents, i must say Gentlemen Only pleased me more. But again, this is not bad, just not a love for me.
alfons31rus – :
People wear some old 80s powerhouse that last 2 days on skin and get mad when perfumes “Only” last 8 hours.
Jeez not all of us needs a perfume that last longer than most relationships.
cac795Bessinepome – :
People claiming this has poor longevity are either over spraying, under spraying, expect too much or are used to wearing very heavy scents and have lost the ability to smell.
I’ve gotten 4-6 hours easily each time I’ve worn this off of 4 sprays. If you think 4-6 hours is poor for an EDT then you need to rethink your expectations
elektroleha – :
I love this fresh & masculine scent a lot to be honest, but the longevity is terrible, lasted for just half hour and then you have to literally smell your skin in order to smell the scent again.
Well it is true with its name, tonic = water. This is just a scented water.
vitaliy-novik – :
Yeah here comes the boss,..freshy citrusy vibe, a bit ginger,,this is so clean and soft scent,
Formal office guys,,indoor..its a new flanker for boss bottled,well,for me i dont wanna waste my money for this one,perfomance and longevity poor,,yet again its super safe fragrance for office indoor business man,,overall 6.5/10.
Hovalacete – :
The apple pie people refer to from the original, plus fresh juicy sweet/sour orange. Doesn’t smell edible though. Not really sexy either. Super nice office scent.
variant999 – :
I have this one in vials.
All I get here is another generic weak fresh fragrance (it looks more EDC than EDT). Nice and good smelling, but nothing really special or new. Nothing else (for now). Let’s wait half an hour and I’ll tell you later.
Well, after 30 min all I get is a watery “almost nothing” (without the “almost”), and I applied TWICE! (the second time after the first 10 min). It’s gone! (like Houdini, like someone stated in a thread).
One of the WORST performances I’ve ever seen in my life. A disaster! Sorry.
alla_zt – :
This is really very nice scent.
Fresh spicy manly.
Very safe if you want a blind buy
However, it projects only one hour max and it has very poor longevity as expected from this bottled line.
Antioksidant – :
I have to re-review this because my first one was way off…
I have absolutely fallen in love with this stuff this summer! It is so fresh and clean, alluring and crisp. I feel like I just took an icy cold refreshing shower whenever I put this on. This is not formal at all in my opinion, rather casual paired perfectly with your favorite t-shirt and khaki shorts as you’re preparing to head out for a fun and hot day in the sun. I wear this quite frequently to work and get very positive feedback. One girl in particular absolutely loves it and follows me around whenever she can to catch whiffs of my scent trail. It definitely seems very hard to dislike so far!
In my first review I had stated that I couldn’t detect any cinnamon at all, which is not saying much because my nose is pretty pathetic at picking up individual notes unless it’s blatantly obvious. However, I do notice it now…barely. It’s just there to add a very subtle spiciness to the overall fresh composition. I was really scratching my head when I saw that cinnamon is the most detectable note that others are picking up on from the note pyramid, but I think I understand now. It’s definitely there, just not in the same context as a winter fragrance with sweet and spicy cinnamon taking over the lead role, if that makes sense?
Anyway….performance is solid for me. 3 sprays and it lasts an entire 8 hour work day. Even if I can’t detect it, others have still been complimenting me long after I thought it was gone. Projection is moderate for at least 3-4 hours before fading to a skin scent.
Love this stuff!
9/10
nihfalck – :
It smells like Versace Eau Fraiche
Алексашка – :
Beautiful fresh scent based on the original. He keeps me 12h +. She is amazing!
bond007120191 – :
This is the most unoriginal fragrance I have ever smelled. Its smell you can find it in any air refresher or cheap scented candles. Add to that the poor performance. bad flanker Boss, it’s a pass for me.
awerawerad – :
Pleasantly supprised by this when i first tested as im not a fan of the BB range (dont mind BB intense but not enough to buy). Very pleasant and easy to wear scent, ideal for spring/summer. Casual fresh spicy scent, i get the ginger and spice at the start and a fizzy/tonic type of freshness, it doesnt change much other than some soft woods coming in later. Id describe it as a classier sports type scent, easy to wear in hot weather but with some depth to it, for the days when you dont want a power house but something more relaxed and easy going. The performance wasnt too bad for me, projection not great but average longevity.
bodryi – :
I sampled this in Hudson’s Bay. It is nice, safe (for office use), and to be honest; generic. While the associate really, REALLY, pushed me to buy this, I strongly turned her offer down. She told me that this was the #1 men’s fragrance going right now. I almost had to laugh. The brand is highly credible, but I still like Hugo Boss’ older releases compared to this one.
bmp511Negeltzex – :
I am wearing it for the first time and well I got a compliment, but in the other hand someone who always is aware of my presence in the office told me: I didn’t smell you, and I thought you were not here, some times I know you are here because I smell you even if I don’t see you, and she made no comment of me wearing this new cologne. :-/
In my opinion so far after 7 hours of wearing it, I can tell it has become a skin scent and probably totally gone when I get home.
I can tell it has the core from the original flanker with some freshness to it, but short longevity and yes more suitable for the Summer that the original BB.
Anyway still my favorite flanker of the BB’s is the Eau de Parfum version, but I just got BB Oud, I just sampled it and it promises a good performance.
ser08od50 – :
A nice and fresh take on the original. I have tried many scents, and the permormance of Tonic is just the worst ever. Projection and longevity are non-existent. Boss managed somehow to reduce the already weak Bottled into something even less powerful. The name says it all, this is like 10% of Boss Bottled and 90% tonic water. Too bad, it does really smell good for a few minutes
Brieluplilt – :
I like it, At first its fresh and you can say generic and familiar.. But as it dries down the boss bottled DNA kicks in. really a fresher version of the original. kind of reminds me of tommy hilger .. that fresh yet apple pie type vibe. Overall a soft, and pleasant smell. Its not going to knock the socks off of any niche heads and its a DNA we are all familiar with.
Scent 4/5
Performance = not tested.. guessing 3/5
nok1man – :
it smell bitter gingery and more fresh than boss bottled edt.
but preaty the same dna.
korefan45 – :
Here is my honest and unbiased review. This is a very pleasant, light and refreshing scent. It’s not strong, so don’t go by the charts above because those are obviously misleading. As well as the note breakdown. I could not detect cinnamon at all. What I could detect was green apple, citrus and light woods. It is totally inoffensive and I don’t think you could overspray even if you tried.
I get about 5-6 hours of longevity with moderate to soft projection for the first 2 hours. From there it just lingers close to the skin with faint whiffs noticeable every now and then. Today is only my second day wearing it and I’ve already received a compliment. There was a middle aged woman that told me she could follow me around all day because I smelled so good. I applied 5 sprays about an hour before this compliment.
Other people like it, I like it, that’s good enough for me!
A little weak but not terrible.
8.5/10
Lacerta – :
I’ve come around on this one, it does smell similar to the original but it’s much nicer, just a burst of freshness that the original lacked. I like this the most of all the flankers
Genius10 – :
Much spicier and fresher than the original, very masculine, citrus, ginger and a fresh, not warm cinnamon. It dries down to a hydienic men’s cosmetics’ note, soapy, aftershave-like.
Hyligan – :
Smells just like a lighter, fresher version of the original. On no planet does it smell like Silver Shadow, that’s one of the worst comparisons I’ve ever seen
orxi77 – :
If someone here has ever smelled tommy by tommy hilfiger, it will automaticaly recognize this one…
They are incredibly similar. It reminds me tommy before the reformulation. Smells really nice at least for me…
uggsit1115Z – :
I do not see the reason to buy the yet another citrus flanker that does not stand out from the others except to get some apple and poor performance. 2/10
ers except to get some apple and poor performance. 2/10
Stupid who voted cinnamon and cloves. Ok vetiver and end notes boisé.
cuu769elipseskism – :
Dont be so bad with this release, to me is so lovely, dont expect a complex mix or “deeper” side of bottled like “intense or perfume version”, Tonic is a velvety floral semiaquatic cloudy and bright version of the original, totally easy to like in every transition with a short longevity but great projection. Versatile, so comfortable and some interesting combo at the end. Sometimes easy things are great. To be in a complex side we have another stuff too..
ethindiniff – :
Tested side by side Boss Bottled Original on one hand and Tonic on the other. To me Tonic smells just like Boss Bottled with tuned down sweetness. The sweetness of Boss Bottled is too strong for me and makes me nauseous, so Tonic is the version I will be able to wear. Longevity-wise, I got nearly the same time from both.
kissa – :
Not worth buying it full price in the store.
Nice scent but not sensational. The description of a nice wearable fragrance that is inoffensive is just perfect. The description for this frag is how I feel about finding a lesser expensive body spray that is fresh and sharp for the summer. when I wore this, initially I loved it and it lasted about 2 hours. The drydown I truly enjoyed. The second time I applied this, I didnt feel the same enthusiasm for it and felt it was quite forgettable compared to some others I had tried. This might be perfect for the office though, worthy of trial but not worth spending too much for, in my opinion.
Skortegor – :
Not bad. Definitely a resemblance to the original but lighter, drier and less sweet. It reminds me of Davidoff Silver Shadow.
JayBP – :
Giving this a test wearing right now, and yeah I agree- it’s weak as hell! My friend tested the Bottled Intense and I tried this, 10 mins after applying I was struggling to pick up anything – it’s just over 2 hours later and no lie, if I smell under my shirt then I can smell Fahrenheit lingering, which I applied at 8:30am (it’s now just gone 5pm).
I would have expected this to be a kind-of aquatic fragrance but it smells very similar to the original, still. Very blasé towards it.
Zyklon1986 – :
SOO WEAAKK ! What the hell with this fragrance? It’s like an edc
lenulya – :
Really no need for a longer review because the performance is second to none. I do like the smell though but after 20-30 minutes it’s gone.
fenics – :
Just why Hugo Boss ?
This fragrance suck,i dont even know why they are producing stuff like this
Its so weak that you have to take bottle with you and spray your self every 7-8 minute
Андрей Перец – :
Look how many senseless idiots (or bots) have ruined the page of this scent misleading people by voting heavily for cinnamon!!! There is no cinnamon detectable in this one. Again: This is a bright, fresh, easy going ginger, lemon and very green apple scent.
maratella – :
I tested this today. So these are my initial impressions.
I saw it on a shelf in a local department store whilst I was shopping for other items. I had no interest in really trying this but I thought what the hell, its new so why not.
The lady spritzed my hand and to be honest I was impressed. Sharp, masculine and clean. Very sharp. I love sharp, clean scents. The ginger and grapefruit up top could slice their way through a ninja attack. Mega piercing but done wonderfully. I loved it. After the initial opening, you get the boss bottled dna coming through. But lighter, fresher and icey.
Its somewhere along the lines of a mix between Boss Bottled, Platinum Egoiste, Versace Eau Fraiche.
Ill test a few more times but I think this would be perfect for summer.
Has a slight gin and tonic vibe also.
Update:
Ive wore this a few times. Projection is pretty weak. Great for about 20 mins morphing to skin scent soon after. Longevity about 4 hours. I do really enjoy the scent quite a bit but you would have to carry an atomizer with you every time you wore it and bathe in the stuff. I wish the opening lasted longer. But it is called Boss Bottled Tonic. So its literally spray for a burst of sharp, fresh air and then its gone. Lasts on clothing but doesnt project off that either. Id happily accept it as a gift but wouldnt buy it I dont think.
bqh636speagoessenda – :
Isn’t this how old spice smells like? Also, I expected a dash of something bitter in this fragrance. I like the presentation though.
Stanostracioid – :
I am truely baffled how people could compare this to likes of Guerlain Ideal EDP !!! Man the name says it all, this Boss is a fresh and easy tonic water. Thats all it is and there are people who simply like and even love to smell light, clean, fresh and citrusy during hot summer days. Not everything has to be deep, thick, multidimentional, groundbreaking, or whatever you guys call it nowadays. This Tonic is a great summer scent. light, bright, clean and relaxed. I for my one dont need a summer scent to be as powerful as an Opium EDP!
antannavopy – :
This scent is okay. I must say I really don’t like the trend Boss is following with releasing a dozen flankers to Boss Bottled. The original Boss Bottled still beats this one in my opinion, and unless you’re crazy about a slightly more grapefruity take on the original, I’d say save your money for something better.
I’m not really a fan of the Intense version, but it is in my opinion the best scent performance wise in the Boss Bottled line-up. This barely lasts 3 hours on me, and the sillage is weak. You might enjoy the EDP version of L’Homme Ideal by Guerlain which is far more original, pleasing and longer lasting than this one.
6/10
vum567speagoessenda – :
Because we have senseless morons misusing the system here
reensiple – :
How’s people voting this fragrance as a winter frangrance??
Impossible!
yulchonok13 – :
Just bought it. This might be the best summer scent for 2017. You like it fresh, cheerful, classy and bright. Then go for it. It’s new hence still a little expensive but he’ll this is such a bright and positive smell. It’s really like looking great and classy under blue sky.
liliya – :
Just tested it, if you like boss bottled
this might be for you, i like boss bottled too
but this one was very boring to me just the
usual boss dna with some synthetic freshness,
no they need to be more inventive to catch my
attention, ok scent thats all, i even liked hugo
boss iced a bit more, and ysl ultime is on another level.
And longevity is about an hour if you are lucky.
-=RapiRa=- – :
Smelled this on store, first impressions a lighter summer version of Bottle, simple and good in that regard.
kalnietisss – :
Ok here we have one true and honest review but nearly over 20 rates on the performance, without any statements, how can that happen? I mean 20 people voted “very long lasting” and 19 “enermous sillage” but how?
Bailey_fromAF – :
This one starts with a blast of citruses (grapefruit i think) and ginger! It’s very refreshing and it represents well the name Tonic. Then, after 15min-30min the Boss bottled DNA appears with the cinnamon and a little bit of the green apple. But the Ginger is always present. Seems like L’homme by YSL but less powdery and more sweet. Basically the fusion between l’homme and BB. It’s interesting. I like it but the opening its the best part. Need to try it more times.
EDIT: This lasts all day, and smells really good. I really like it. It’s BB but with a refreshing touch with the addition of grapefruit and ginger. It has a moderate projection and after 3 hours it becomes a skin scent for the rest of the day. I’m always smelling it but its very close to the skin. It’s definitely a good work scent and a spring-summer scent for casual days. It’s a good addition for the line.
valeryn – :
Here we go again. I just got Intense EDP.. I will get this one. It won’t be as bad as The Scent, I’m sure. P&G, squeezing the momentum out of what’s left of Bottled!
and-rudkovskiy – :
Stop voting or at least write a review. Irresponsible people.
bulletlaym – :
Can’t Wait to try this despite what they say boss bottled is truly a beautiful fragrance.
