About Hugo Boss Fragrances
Coty makes and sells Hugo Boss fragrances under licence, including Boss Bottled, one of the largest men's fragrances in Europe. The clothing brand belongs to the separately listed Hugo Boss AG. The licence covers fragrance only, so the same name is controlled by two companies depending on whether the product is a scent or a garment.
