Boss Babe
by Missguided
Boss Babe by Missguided offers a creamy, sweet almond-coated vanilla experience with nutty and woody depth, evoking a sense of warmth and comfort. The opening features a vibrant blend of bergamot, pear, and pistachio, delivering a fresh, slightly green nutty note before settling into a soft, milky vanilla-almond base with magnolia, rose, and sandalwood. The fragrance leans heavily into sweet, oriental accords—with amber, musk, and patchouli lending a subtle richness and long-lasting trail. Its projection is moderate to strong, with lasting power continuing for up to 8 hours on some skin types, making it suitable for extended wear. Despite the array of sweet notes, the scent avoids being cloying, offering a balanced blend of sweetness and earthy depth. Many users describe it as an affordable dupe for Elie Saab Girl of Now or Black Opium, though it’s noted to be slightly more floral and less syrupy than those perfumes. It wears well as a daytime or nighttime scent, with the majority preferring it during autumn and winter.
Pros
- +Offers a rich, creamy, and deeply comforting almond-vanilla profile that stands out among affordable fragrances.
- +Longevity and projection are strong for a budget scent, lasting up to 8 hours with a noticeable trail.
- +Appears to be a sophisticated and accessible alternative to higher-end perfumes like Elie Saab Girl of Now or Black Opium.
Cons
- −Can feel too sweet or perfumey for some, with floral and amber notes leading to a 'grandma' or 'overly sweet' impression.
- −Some find the rose and amber notes too dusty or heavy, causing discomfort or headache in sensitive individuals.
- −The drydown unfolds slowly and changes significantly over time, which may frustrate those seeking consistency or a quick, clear scent profile.
