What do reviewers say about Boss Bottled and Grey Point?
It's been the baseline for 'masculine done right' since 1998, and for good reason. Fruity-sweet without being juvenile, warm without being heavy. The kind of scent that earns the word 'reliable' like.Boss Bottled
There's a violet note here that rarely shows up at this price point. Most masculine fragrances go for the citrus-wood combo. This one throws in that powdery floral middle that adds real interest.Grey Point
