  I love it! It’s one of my favorites. The scent is exquisite and sexy; people and my friends say I smell delicious. It has good longevity and sillage (at least on my skin). It smells very fruity and fresh, it’s perfect for night or going out to a club. I’d give it a 9/10.

  It smells rich and fresh, but it lacks a bit of longevity.

  It has an intense citrus-aquatic opening, mainly due to the grapefruit and I think also the fig. The other citrus notes are noticeable but less defined. At 6 hours, the lime follows, and now I’m sensing floral notes, although I’m not very familiar with the declared hyacinth and lily of the valley; this fragrance reminds me a bit of those notes in Armani’s Acqua di Gio, but just a slight impression. At 12 hours, it’s a soft wood with a slightly spicy edge. Regarding the Massoia Tree, which is supposed to smell like a mix of coconut cream and cinnamon, if the final wood feels spicy, maybe it’s ‘cinnamoned’. It has all the looks for summer, daytime use, and even sporty. Its trail is moderate, but if you overapply (1ml), it can be heavy for two or three hours; then it drops back to moderate and ends skin-scent after twelve hours. I think it’s ideal for anyone looking for fragrances that smell ‘clean’, with a contained trail and that don’t bother in environments where something flashy isn’t appropriate. From that point of view, the surname ‘Pure’ fits the general impression well.

  It starts with an intense citrus-aquatic touch, mainly due to the grapefruit and maybe the fig. The other citrus notes are less noticeable. At six hours, the lime follows and I sense floral notes, although I’m not very familiar with the hyacinth and lily of the valley; it reminds me a bit of those notes in Armani’s Acqua di Gio. At twelve hours, it’s a soft wood with a slightly spicy edge. Regarding the Massoia Tree, which should feel like coconut cream and cinnamon, maybe here it’s more ‘cinnamoned’. It’s ideal for summer, daytime use, and even sporty. Its trail is moderate, but if you apply too much (1ml), it can be heavy for a couple of hours, then drops back to moderate and ends skin-scent after twelve hours. It’s good for anyone looking for something ‘clean-smelling’, with a contained trail and suitable for environments where you don’t want to draw too much attention. The surname ‘Pure’ fits that impression perfectly.

  I didn’t know it, I bought it blind based on Ronaldex007’s review. Hyacinths have always been in my parents’ house; their scent—slightly dark, floral, violet, and green—drives me crazy. It’s incredibly fresh and mossy, lacking that creaminess or density found in other flowers that have a thousand perfumes paying homage to them. By association, hyacinth sounds feminine to me, but it’s one of the most unisex flowers. No wonder Morillas used it in Versace Pour Homme and Acqua di Gio Pour Homme, scents that never really convinced me. The hyacinth there either wasn’t noticeable, didn’t stand out, or came across as a grayish, wilted note on my skin. Against all odds, I absolutely loved the scent of Boss Pure and its take on hyacinth, despite its lack of quality and performance. Without resembling them, it has the DNA of turn-of-the-century scents like Aqua CH, where the water isn’t refreshing but distilled, osmotic, and futuristic. Pure is clean, but it doesn’t remind me of a shower or a bar of soap. At first, the alcohol barely lets you enjoy the blend, which smells like acetone or laundry detergent. I smell lots of citrus and hyacinth; no trace of an identifiable fig. It settles into a delicious aroma. Something transports me back to the 90s, reminding me of certain Puig women’s colognes, that fresh, sparkling scent that was common among girls, practically unisex. Shortly after, it becomes more woody and stays linear until the end. I’d say there’s cedar and vetiver, but it must be that tree giving the base that woody, slightly creamy character. On top, luminous and sparkling are the more masculine facets of an unrealistic hyacinth, accompanied by a lemony acidic accent. It’s a very synthetic blend, but funny, seductive, and very masculine. After an hour and a half, it reminded me of Acqua di Gio. Specifically, that floral-citrus-aquatic-woody accord I used to perceive on other people and loved, but which wasn’t there or expected on my own skin. The Boss Pure pyramid also lists lily of the valley, a flower I’ve never smelled, which Anaïs Anaïs also carries (a perfume that to me always smelled like slightly wilted hyacinths with a certain burnt note). Do these two flowers smell similar? Is there a connection in the recreation? I don’t know. Pure is a daytime perfume, better for spring and summer. Unfortunately, its scent is small and its performance is very poor. The bottle I bought according to Check Fresh is from 2016, so I don’t think it’s touched. I sprayed it four times three hours ago and can’t smell it anymore unless I press my nose right against my skin. The trail was very weak from the start, and it’s frustrating because I want to smell like this all damn day. I only tried it today; if my impressions change, I’ll edit. The impression it leaves on me is that it could really appeal to me and be something like the male sibling of Cristalle, but it lacks work and quality; it seems like a product of neglect. I wouldn’t especially recommend it, but since I really liked its aroma… 8.5/10

  The thing I liked most about trying it was that super pure citrus opening. I bought the 100ml and it lasted perfectly until the halfway point, very fresh. But after 8 months, it changed a lot; it became sour, lost its sweetness, and left a soft woody nuance. That’s why I only buy bottles of 75ml or less now, because I don’t like fragrances losing their initial vibe over time. I’d love to use it again but can’t find it here in Peru.
