Hugo Ferdinand Boss opened his workshop in Metzingen, Germany, in 1924; the group has published a study of the company's activity under the Nazi regime and has voiced deep regret towards the people who were harmed there. After the war, the company received its first commissions for men's suits, then produced its first off-the-rack suits from 1960. In 1984 it granted its first fragrance licence.
The group now brings together the BOSS and HUGO brands. Volute describes here its main fragrance lines, filed among designer fragrances.
