Hugo

Hugo, composed by Bob Aliano for Hugo Boss in 1995, is a fresh, green aromatic fragrance for men. People describe it as aromatic above all, with woody and floral sides clearly present and a minority noting sweetness and citrus.

The opening is cool and crisp: lavender and mint give a clean, herbal freshness, grapefruit a sharp citrus lift, and green apple a juicy, slightly tart bite, with basil adding a green, peppery touch. In the heart, geranium, sage and carnation bring a gently spicy, floral-herbal character. The base is patchouli, cedar and fir, an earthy, dry and resinous finish that recalls a pine forest.

Most wearers report moderate longevity, with many finding it long lasting, and a moderate trail. It is voted for spring and summer and mostly for daytime. That suits office days, sports, casual weekends and men who want an easy, refreshing scent with a 1990s green character.
