Hugo Man
by Hugo Boss
Hugo Man is a fresh, aromatic woody scent with a prominent green apple opening that quickly evolves into a smooth balance of lavender, balsam fir, and pine. The fragrance brings a classic feel with a modernized twist—light, clean, and subtly sweet—making it approachable and universally wearable, particularly during spring and summer. It achieves a sophisticated, unpretentious character, blending softly emanating woody notes with a brief, juicy apple accord and a touch of aromatic spiciness that lends it a refreshing lift. While it delivers moderate longevity and moderate sillage, its performance is generally consistent across skin types, though some wearers report a fade to skin scent within four to five hours. The core experience is streamlined and smooth, making it ideal for daily wear in office or casual settings, with a versatility that extends beyond gender. Many users find it evokes nostalgic memories of the original 1990s Hugo, and despite minor variations between batches, this version remains a reliable, enjoyable classic for those seeking a subtle yet characterful masculine scent.
