I had made a rather fruitless trip to the mall to purchase yet another bottle of my favourite perfume, Prada L’Homme, only to discover it was out of stock. Quite disheartened by that information, I decided to blind buy the next men’s perfume my eyes landed on. That perfume happened to be a Boss Bottled by Hugo Boss.

Perfumes have existed in the history of mankind for thousands of years. Some sources claim that they are over 4000 years old at least. Although they have a long-standing record of their existence, most people could not afford scents in ancient times due to their expensive nature.

I vividly recall the first time I was introduced to the fragrance. It was 1990 – one of the most emotional years of my life. With emotions running at an all-time high, we were on our tour of a lifetime. It was supposed to be our final hoorah before we part ways. We grew up in the same neighbourhood and went to the same daycare facility. We even went to the same school and college. Now, the four of us had job offers in four different states. Our bond would be stretched like the elastic on the rubber band. Landlines and letters were the best forms of communication then. We decided to make the...
