Founded in 1924 by Hugo Ferdinand Boss in Metzingen, the German fashion house initially made workwear. After the founder's death, his son-in-law Eugen Holy, followed by his sons Jochen and Uwe Holy, steered the company towards tailoring. BOSS was established in the 1970s, followed by the launch of licensed fragrances in 1984 and the takeover of this business by Coty in 2016.
In fragrance, Hugo Boss translates its wardrobe into a clean, contemporary style. The creations explore contrasts between freshness, spices, woods and sensuality, with a clear and easy-to-wear structure. The Bottled line remains its most enduring expression, presented in understated bottles that extend the aesthetics of tailoring.
Right now at Fragsplit, 1 Hugo Boss fragrance is available as a 1 to 10 ml decant: Bottled Infinite.
