Hugo Boss - Tonic

2017 saw the release of a new Hugo Boss fragrance named Tonic. This eau de toilette is a fresh daytime edition to their range of quality cologne. According to their advertising, this fragrance is intended for 'modern men who aspire for success' - I kid you not. I am sure advertising is a tricky business but I have to wonder when advertising borders on comedy.

So, I found the eau de toilette a little lackluster insofar as the concentration of an eau de toilette is much weaker than an eau de parfum but still apparently stronger than an eau de cologne. As such, an eau de toilette doesn't last the day and has to be reapplied but I won't be doing that but it a light fragrance that's not too over-powering.

Described as fresh but not too intense, containing citrus notes of grapefruit, lemon, apple and bitter orange overlayed with ginger and cinnamon. This offering has a woody base and considered earthy, dry and elegant. The bottle is light blue and coming from Hugo Boss is undoubtedly reasonably expensive. The question that needs to be asked though, is Tonic worthwhile? My answer is yes, this is worth the outlay.
