Olivier Cresp at the helm of one of the most romantic fragrances
In order to create this most feminine fragrance, the house of Hugo Boss chose perfumer Olivier Cresp. Born in Grasse to farming parents, Olivier Cresp grew up amid scents and flowers. One might believe that passion is passed from father to son, since Olivier Cresp's son, Sébastien Cresp, is also a perfumer, thus carrying on the passion for flowers. When asked what a fragrance is, Olivier Cresp replies that a fragrance is a concentrate of pleasure, femininity and happiness. Minimalist and authentic, Olivier Cresp was propelled into the spotlight thanks to the creation of the first gourmand fragrance in history, Angel by Thierry Mugler. Olivier Cresp is also responsible for other great successes such as Nina l'Élixir by Nina Ricci, Valentina by Valentino and Mon Paris by Yves Saint Laurent.
Boss Femme and its bouquet of white flowers
Boss Femme combines floral and fruity tonalities from the very start and opens with the fruity, sugary notes of mandarin and blackcurrant. These fruits then blend with freesia for a soft floral touch. Native to the Far East, mandarin has been cultivated there for nearly 3,000 years. Legend has it that the mandarin takes its name from the mandarins, the high-ranking Chinese officials who were originally the only ones to eat the fruit. The mandarin tree results from a cross between the clementine tree and the sweet orange tree.
The flesh of the mandarin is sweet and fragrant, and mandarin is the least acidic of citrus fruits. In perfumery, the essence is obtained by expression of the fruit's peel. Mandarin thus releases soft, tangy, fruity and sugary tonalities. Then, the heart of Boss Femme is laden with white flowers, namely jasmine, white rose and oriental lily. Along with rose, jasmine is the most widely used flower in perfumery. While jasmine is cultivated in China, it has also been grown in Grasse since the 17th century. Jasmine is a resolutely feminine flower and offers very floral, powdery and luminous tonalities.
Finally, the base of Boss Femme is meant to be warm and subtle, combining Ceylon lemon with white musks, amber and a touch of apricot for a small dose of gourmand appeal. The bottle is the visual representation of an aura. Sun-kissed, its transparency lets the soft pink color of the nectar show through.
