Shopping for Christmas presents for men – whether that’s your dad, brother, partner or pal – can sometimes be challenging, but a nice new fragrance is always a good gift idea – and if you’re struggling to know which one to buy, we don’t think you can go wrong with this one.
Our beauty editor Laura Mulley often buys the men in her life a Hugo Boss fragrance, and they’re always well received – and this half price deal on a huge 200ml bottle of Hugo Boss BOSS Bottled Eau de Parfum is too good to pass up on. Usually priced at £119, it currently has 50% off on Lookfantastic, taking it down to £59.50. That’s even cheaper than the price of a 50ml bottle, which costs £64 – what a steal!

Even better, order before 19 December using standard delivery and it’ll arrive in time for Christmas, or if you’ve really left it until the last minute, you’ve got up until 22 December to get it delivered with Next Day Delivery, which costs £5.95.
Part of the BOSS Bottled fragrance family, this eau de parfum has a medium intensity and woody, spicy notes of apple, cardamom and vetiver. The brand describes it as ‘fierce and unapologetic’, while Lookfantastic customers have been calling it “clean”, “fresh” and “masculine”.
“Bought for my husband and he loves it. Smells a lovely and really lasts. Got it with an amazing discount too so even better,” one recent shopper wrote in their review.
“A favourite of my sons. Reasonable price for the size bottle as well. Really recommend if your looking for a clean fresh subtle aftershave that is not over powering,” another agreed.
“The best smell for men! Buy after buy for my partner every time!” wrote one repeat customer.
Not everyone was totally won over though; one person awarded it three out of five stars, and wrote: “Though I have never liked Boss fragrances, but I thought this one might be different and yes, I was right. Not strong; does not last; just disappointment.”
Laura, meanwhile, says, “I’ve bought Hugo Boss BOSS Bottled fragrances for my dad, my father-in-law and my brother-in-law for many Christmases over the years, and they’ve always gone down well. I’d call them a failsafe scent option if you’re really struggling to decide which one to buy.”
“I also think this Lookfantastic offer is too good to miss – a 200ml bottle for less than the price of one a fraction of the size!”
If you miss this deal or it sells out – or if you’re looking for an aftershave gift set instead – this Hugo Boss fragrance is also available in a gift set along with a deodorant – and it currently has 20% off at Boots, down from £64 to £54.40.
Meanwhile you can currently pick up another variant, Hugo Boss BOSS Bottled Night Eau De Toilette For Men 200ml, for even cheaper and better than half price at Debenhams: £50 instead of £119.
