Hugo XY

Hugo XY is a crisp, green-herbal fragrance that opens with a bright, citrusy bergamot and mint, layered over a soft, airy pear leaf note. The core sensibility is fresh and clean—a moment of awakening, like stepping out of a shower on a cool, sunny day. It carries a gentle, aromatic depth with basil and cedar, balanced by a subtle earthy patchouli and musky base, creating a calm, subtle mood that feels modern without being overpowering. Longevity is modest, typically lasting around four hours, with moderate projection that’s most noticeable in close proximity. It’s less about standing out and more about leaving behind a quietly pleasant, refined impression. The scent works best in spring and summer, particularly during daytime, and has strong appeal in casual or professional settings due to its clean, inoffensive quality. Some find it too insubstantial, while others cherish its unique balance of herbal freshness and mild sillage, and a subset have praised it as unexpectedly wearable in colder weather, where its green mint and woody notes harmonize with crisp air.
