BOSS Bottled Elixir
On the 25th anniversary of a fragrance icon, the original BOSS Bottled Eau de Toilette, BOSS Fragrances is unveiling its latest launch: BOSS Bottled Elixir. The newest olfactive chapter within the BOSS Bottled family, Elixir is an elevated interpretation of modern masculinity.
The most highly concentrated BOSS Bottled composition to date, BOSS Bottled Elixir is captivating, with opulent ingredients. Top notes of incense and cardamom essences emit a warm, vibrant impression while a heart of vetiver and patchouli entice with an earthy imprint. BOSS Bottled Elixir develops to reveal a base of cedarwood essence and labdanum absolute, serving a strong, woody charisma and a burst of bold masculinity. The iconic Boss Bottled glass flacon is reimagined to highlight this new chapter, as its deep black lacquer gives way to a gleaming light in the center, capturing the concept of BOSSes finding their inner light.
AVAILABILITY: The fragrance is available as of October 2023 for $135 at Macys.com

Orveda – The Omnipotent Concentrate
Orveda’s most powerful serum ever works on skin’s past, present and future to visibly extend skin’s youth by slowing down the aging process caused by senescent cells, also known as zombie cells. Senescent cells no longer divide properly and send negative signals to neighboring healthy cells. Developed with new research and technology in the area of cellular senescence (unhealthy skin cells), the Omnipotent Concentrate optimizes cellular communication by facilitating good signals sent by healthy cells, delaying the formation of senescent cells, and silencing inflammatory signals, thus prolonging the lifespan of healthy, youthful cells. As a result, with this patent pending formula, skin feels firmer, more supple and even-toned, while visibly diminishing surface lines and wrinkles.
The Omnipotent Concentrate contains 16 highly concentrated actives which comprise 24% of the formula and features Orveda’s Signature Complex: Biofermented Marine Enzymes, Bio-Tech Prebiotics, and Biofermented Kombucha Black Tea. Bio-Tech Schisandra Sphenantera soothes inflammation. Biofermented Saccharomyces Cerevisiae Extract regenerates healthy skin cells. Biofermented Adenosine delays signs of aging. Bio-activated Gallic Acid Derivative instantly brightens. Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid hydrates. Biomimetic Tripeptides firm. Daisy Flower Extract brightens and evens skin tone.
