- Hugo Boss Bottled Infinite: A flanker fragrance to the Boss Bottled name, it opens with a fruity blend of apple and mandarin, with a clean freshness from cinnamon and rosemary spices. During its dry down, it becomes woodier, with a nice dose of lavender and the remaining mandarin orange.

- Hugo Boss The Scent: An aromatic spicy fragrance that makes you feel like a boss, with spicy and fruity upper layers that inspire feelings of romance and warmth, and masculine undernotes of leather and wood.

- Hugo Boss No. 6: The most popular Hugo Boss fragrance, with apple and cinnamon notes that provide a familiar sweetness and warmth, and vanilla that adds a layer of smoothness. The dry down adds wood notes such as sandalwood and cedar to prevent it from going too far into the sweetness of a women's fragrance.

- Hugo Boss The Scent Absolute: The best from the series overall, it gives a closer approximation to the original but with a spicier profile and much better performance. It kicks off with the fresh spiciness of ginger and a rich use of the signature maninka fruit.

- Hugo Boss Just Different: A vibrant, modern fragrance with a cool twist, made to inspire whatever you do. It has top notes of mint and Granny Smith apple, middle notes of basil, freesia, and coriander, and base notes of Cashmeran, patchouli, labdanum, and olibanum.
