The company that makes Hugo Boss perfume today was created by Hugo Ferdinand Boss in 1923 in a small town south of Stuttgart, called Metzingen, where it is still to this day based. Metzingen, was also where he was born on July 8^th 1985. This first Hugo Boss Company, however, went into bankruptcy in 1930, due to economic circumstances of that period. Hugo Boss was not deterred by this and went on to set up a new company in 1931, supplying work clothes and uniforms. Hugo also became a member of the Nazi Party at this time and with the rise of Hitler, he also saw a rise in demand for his product and then went on to become official supplier to the SA and the SS.

After the fall of the Nazis and Germany in 1945, Hugo Boss was charged with being a Nazi sympathiser, losing his right to vote as well as being given a substantial fine. Hugo Ferdinand Boss died shortly after on August 9,1948 at the age of 63.

After Hugo Ferdinand Boss died in 1948, the company was taken over by his son-in-law Eugen Holy and later to his grandsons Jochen and Uwe Holy in the 1960’s.

Exactly 70 years after Hugo Ferdinand Boss first founded his company; Hugo Boss Company launched its first fragrance. This successful launch formed a new division of the company that has become a very important part of Hugo Boss.

Hugo Boss fragrances are divided in two, Hugo and Boss.
