Hugo Boss will launch Boss Pure, a fragrance for men "intended to evoke the purity and freshness of water", this coming April:
With its aquatic freshness, the new fragrance from BOSS captures the sensuality and emotion of a man united with the pure, unstoppable power of water.
The woody aquatic scent includes notes of fig water, citrus, lily, hyacinth, and massoia wood.
You can request a free sample now at boss-skin.
Boss Pure by Hugo Boss will be available in 50 and 75 ml Eau de Toilette and in matching grooming products. (first quote via Women's World Daily, second quote via boss-skin)

Tommy Bahama has launched a second fragrance in his Set Sail collection (see Tommy Bahama Set Sail St. Barts). The new scent for men, Tommy Bahama Set Sail South Seas, is described as...
A refreshing aromatic citrus balanced with hints of rum, watery nuances and soft woods.
Tommy Bahama Set Sail South Seas is available now at Nordstrom; $52.50 for 100 ml.
Update: there is also a Tommy Bahama Set Sail South Seas for women, available in 100 ml Eau de Parfum:
This fragrance is distinguished by notes of granny smith apple, juicy pear, marigold, linden flower, water lily and ginger with a base of nutty sesame, tiare flower and woody vetiver.
Tommy Bahama Set Sail South Seas for women is $52.50 at dillards.
Why can't I see you running out to the store for these….
Um…two water scents. Probably not
LOL at “watery nuances”! That's a very poetic way of saying “standard marine note”.
We got an advance bottle of the Tommy Bahama, without any promotional material, and it is very…. accurate as a water scent. In the top notes the rum is pronounced, but soft. Someone said it smells like 'good' rum. (I don't know, I only drink rum when nothing else is available). Anyway, then it dies down and I swear, I can smell clean salty ocean. It totally mimicks clean ocean sprays from the Caribe. Made me feel like I was back in Vzla. It's not going to do well because it is so …different…almost unwearable… but it is a novelty to smell.
I am surprised there isn't a women's counterpart to this one, as there was w/ Set Sail St. Barts — or is there one, and it just isn't online yet?
K, sounds like it!
I am not one for most aquatic scents but have been on a kick as of lately and I have to say that the Boss Pure is nice. I am actually pondering purchasing a bottle of it.
I'll give it a shot later this week on my mall run, thanks!
I am surprised to hear that it is so different. The lady made me a sample, and she said she didn't know if it would sell well because she thought it was “different.” To me it smells very nice on the skin, but I didn't realize at all that it was so unwearable. Maybe it just smells THAT good on my skin (lol). Or maybe I will buy a bottle if nobody else does, just so it doesn't feel lonely :/
A million-years-later-update: My son and husband both love it.
Which one??
