Hugo Boss launched Boss Orange in the summer of 2009. It is the first women’s fragrance from Boss Orange, the house’s relaxed fashion line with a bohemian, romantic spirit. Procter & Gamble, which then held the license for Hugo Boss fragrances, developed it, and Annick Ménardo composed it.
A spontaneous woman
The house intends it for a positive, lively, free-spirited woman who expresses herself in her own way: spontaneity, it says, is the common thread of the fragrance. Its slogan is a simple invitation to wear it with passion.
At launch, Procter & Gamble spoke of a fragrance of sensuality, luminosity, and depth that moves back and forth between its facets. Vanilla, deeply feminine, meets sandalwood and olive tree wood, two woods the brand considers more masculine.
The face of Sienna Miller
Sienna Miller has embodied the fragrance since its launch. The brand describes her as spontaneous and sparkling, quick to own her emotions, an ideal icon for this play of facets. Cliff Watts photographed and filmed her; the film aired on television from July 2009.
Boss Orange today
Coty, which took over the license from Procter & Gamble, still sells Boss Orange as an eau de toilette in 30, 50, and 75 ml. Some perfumeries now list it under the name Boss Woman, with the same pyramid and the same ingredient list.

Sienna Miller by Cliff Watts
From 2009, Sienna Miller embodies Boss Orange; Cliff Watts photographs and films her to the Beatles’ Drive My Car, covered by The Hot Rats.
For its first women’s fragrance, Boss Orange took on an ambassador, the actress Sienna Miller. Procter & Gamble called her spontaneous and sparkling, attentive to what she feels, and saw in her an ideal icon for a fragrance that moves back and forth between its facets.
Cliff Watts photographed and directed the campaign, which ran in print and on television from July 2009. In the film, the actress pulls faces and laughs at the camera, curled up in a white leather Chesterfield armchair, to the Beatles’ Drive My Car, covered by The Hot Rats.
Chant Wagner, of The Scented Salamander, observed that the film draws on 1960s British youth culture. The campaign was conceived within the Grey agency network.
