Boss Alive Eau de Parfum

I keep coming back to Alive, it’s my favorite daily office sent. It just smells put together, every time I use it I get compliments from both men and women. It projects confidence, presence, personality without being overpowering. I love so many notes here, the soft spicy and juicy opening that is then toned down by a fresh thyme, and it finally settles into a woody vanilla. This is not sweet but it’s not masculine at all. This is a perfect scent for a serious environment, where you want to capture just the right amount of attention. The classy bottle is lovely and longevity is 20/10, I can smell it all day

The melange of notes here just smells a bit off. Like, I smell the apple but it's a soft, mealy Red Delicious apple rather than a juicy, crisp apple. The vanilla is the strongest component. I like what the perfumer was trying to do with the addition of cozy plum, cinnamon and thyme but it just falls flat on my skin, like the notes should have been more bold.

I absolutely LOVE this scent. The opening is sharp, always makes me sneeze. I would also say the opening it fresh, gives the idea, that the fragrance would be fresh, but not at all! The dry down smells heavenly to me, edible. Kind of reminds me of a bakery of sorts? But not even that. It lasts long on clothes, unfortunately I didn't notice it project well or last too long. But for it's price - it's a beautiful scent. Would recommend to everyone.

Smells like Good Girl in the beginning. Then, it become more flowers with some sweetness on me. Very basic, perfum-y flower. After many hours (7-8 hours+) it smells like Good girl again

I absolutely love the use of provencal herbs thyme and lavender and woods like olive in female fragrances. These are 100% my kind of feminine woody vanilla scents. A love for me for Alive edp 💖💖 A calm very well balanced fragrance. Juicy fresh but warm and cozy. I work in a small chocolate shop and this is such a perfect low key vanilla but fresh, gorgeous fragrance to wear there!

A great dupe for this (I know as I have both), is Gold by Next. They're sooo similar. Alive has a touch of cinnamon warmth, whereas Gold is a little more fruity. That aside, they're very similar: classy, golden and subtly sparkling.

This stuff is lovely. I quickly got through a bottle in a month and I have sooOo many perfumes.

This is a Beautiful scent. And call me crazy, but it has a similar dry down note as the Armani Code EDP (2024). Not that I think this is a masculine scent at all. But I really like this note, that is also found in the Armani.

another car refreshener i am sorry

This fragrance instantly reminded me of my long-time signature—Hugo Boss Orange. Just like that one, it’s unique, soft yet captivating, light yet powerful. It feels like me. 🌿✨ It carries dualities within itself: calm yet alive, serene yet vibrant, mature yet fresh. The moment I smelled it, I felt comforted—like I wanted to curl up and sleep wrapped in this scent. A silent goddess, magnetic without needing words. As it settled, it became even warmer, richer, more grounded. Strong, mature, soothing, authoritative—like a woman who embodies trust itself. If Orange was my free-spirited, emotional side, this is the grown, controlled version of me. Longevity is great. And honestly… this is signature material. Absolutely. It doesn’t feel like a perfume I’m wearing—it feels like it’s radiating from my own chest. Final verdict: YES. This is ME. 💕🌸👑

Warm and spicy, new baked and sweet. This is the perfect autumn/winter fragrance, it's so cozy and yummy. Very strong and spicy, I wish it was more sweet and vanilla but this is a perfect layering scent. This is also a very bossy scent, you own the world, like a bitch haha xD. Sexy as hell!

First 5 seconds: aw, it's a fresh cinnamon apple pie! Next 3 hours: I must wok in ze office and split every bill with a mann I agree with that small group comparing this to Carolina Herrera. Opens up the same way, maybe stays less spicy and more like a standard cologne.

Dear freaking heavens, this is not masculine to my nose at all. Are things really so sweet now that a moderate vanilla, warm, spicy purple-fruit composition smells like a dude? Look, I'm all for wearing whatever you want regardless of gender, but c'mon people... It does smell slightly of Good Girl (maybe it's a similar vanilla and jasmine along with light wood that does it?). It's by no means a dupe however. It's woodier than GG, and the cinnamon is more overt. This doesn't make me *feel* anything in particular, but I do think it's a pleasant mid-range fragrance. Very average in almost every element, warm in tone, sweet, rounded and I would *personally* say "inoffensive", but these days everything is offensive to someone; so suffer me and my claim that this is - ✨️Much safer than average✨️.

Boss Alive is one of my all-time favorite fragrances. There’s something so empowering and uplifting about it — a perfect balance between sweetness, warmth, and elegance. The fruity top notes draw you in with a soft sparkle, while the woody and vanilla base gives it depth and sensuality. It feels effortlessly feminine, modern, and confident — like a quiet kind of strength. I reach for it when I want to feel put-together and radiant. A true signature scent that never fails to lift my mood.

Straight musky, a bit masculine, generic and cheap. Rating: 0/10

This is really good, smells like a strong and spicy combination of Good Girl, Libre and Donna Born in Roma. Not sure about its longevity though, as I only sprayed a little bit of it from a tester. Overall it smells really good and leans a little bit towards a unisex scent. UPDATE: The longevity on my skin was really good, I sprayed it on my arm around noon and it still smelled really strong in the evening before I went to take a shower. Some of the initial notes did, however, fade away quite quickly. It has quite a “warm” sweetness to it when it’s freshly sprayed, and gradually dries down into an airy, spicy scent. Still smells really good nonetheless.

I'm pleasantly surprised. Not your ordinary designer scent but something more steadfast. Unfortunately it's completely gone after 2 hours on my wrist

I dont know why but I love this so much even though I wish it was more fem, it smells like cinnamon and jasmine but its very strong so be warned.

Not much to say, really. Cheap & masculine. The opening notes were kinda beautiful, tender and delicate. I thought oh, what a pleasant surprise, almost close to baby-powder. Well this changed so quickly. After barely 5 minutes my wrist smelled cheap and masculine in a BAD way. I experienced the exact same drydown with my husband’s YSL l’homme. Opens up in a beautiful way, does not last long and gives me an urge to wash it off with soap. Yuck.

im somehow getting powdery peach. apple at first spray. it makes me sneeze

I feel like this deserves better reviews! The apple and black currant notes are beautifully done. It definitely is a youthful scent, but I find it refreshing - it's not at all a body mist scent, the woodsy base give it a solid substance, I can smell it after 6 hours (in cold weather). It is a crowd pleaser for sure, I wore a sample of this twice and got complimented each time. It may not be super complex fragrance, but a safe, feminine option for several occasions. :)

It is okay, nothing wow, nothing special. It reminds me of something, but i am not really sure. Overall, nothing special, it is nice for a change but that is it.

It smells like the original good girl i wouldn’t say that its top notes are vanilla i smell more plum or florals at first and then comes the vanilla and musky notes personally cant say its my favourite its sweet but for some reason the after smell is a little like some kind of perfume for men so is the good girl in my opinion it lasts very long and is around you all day more of a winter scent

Originally, when I first tried this I thought it was too masculine - it has that vibe and is quite strong, but once it settled I found the warmth of the cinnamon, plum and thyme enticing. My favourite time of year to use this is winter, and particularly around Christmas - I'm a sucker for cinnamon in a scent. It certainly only needs one or two sprays, otherwise it is overwhelming.

So, I got a tester and at first I liked it. The fruity opening is to my taste, warm and cozy, but it disappeared quickly, so disappointing... then my kid suddenly said something smells like a car perfume, so that was that. What's left on my skin is a faint woody thing, kinda weak and messy. I expected better longevity. Overall, it could've been better.

smells cheap. I really used to love Boss' fragrances, but they're all so poor and synthetic these days, can't help but to be disappointed. sure, this is feminine, and based on notes there could be something interesting going on. but just... no.

It is ok , not wow, and a little overpriced for what it is

I instantly fell in love with it the day I got a sample sent to me, that I didn't really asked for. I considered it a favorite, for a time. It was both feminine and masculine, but not quite unisex. It's a woman's perfume. Imagine a wealthy woman wanting to play the bad b- for a day, it's kind'a like that. I wouldn't really recommend this one on a date. This one makes you feel confident, even a little dangerous (?). I agree with some, it's also giving a little cheap BUT you still know that that's not a cheap perfume. It's very good, though and the plum/cinnamon are very dominant. But after 4 minutes or so, the vanilla blossoms and it's just so lovely. I recommend this for that confidant bad b- woman out there. You could also wear it at the gym.

Smells like the world’s most forgettable woman; that woman you’ve worked with for more than ten years and still can’t remember her name.

Got this as a sample from one of my fragrance pick ups (I’m male so idek why it came with it) and it smells like straight up hairspray…
