BOSS Number One Eau de Toilette For Him is a charismatic aromatic fougere that pairs bright citrus and green apple with aromatic herbs before unfurling a plush heart where honey and florals glow, then settles into a deep, confident base of tobacco, oakmoss, patchouli, sandalwood, and warm ambered woods. It feels tailored and assertive yet refined, a timeless statement of classic masculine elegance that still reads stylish and powerful today.

Story and Positioning
Introduced as the first ever Hugo Boss fragrance, Number One defined a confident power suit style with honeyed tobacco, aromatic greens, and mossy woods. It is a natural choice for formal settings, cool evenings, and anyone who appreciates decisive vintage elegance. If you enjoy the classic masculine spirit of Azzaro Pour Homme, Drakkar Noir, or Givenchy Gentleman, this sits in that refined tradition while keeping its own unmistakable Boss signature.
Bottle and Design
A crisp rectangular flacon with square shoulders and clear glass shows the golden juice within. The face carries the line’s pinstripe motif with BOSS Number One printed cleanly, while the back and sides stay uncluttered for a tidy profile. A glossy black cap sits on a short neck and finishes the look with a tailored suit vibe. The base is broad and flat so it stands securely, and the proportions feel balanced in hand.
