Hugo Dark Blue (Eau de Toilette)

It opens with cardamom, ginger, grapefruit and lime, bright and spicy. Geranium, cypress and sage then pull that freshness towards a green, woody heart. In the base, tobacco, suede and patchouli dry down warm, adding a sweet, oriental edge.

Half of voters find its character masculine. Yves Saint Laurent Y Le Parfum and Dior Sauvage Eau de Toilette have a close profile.
