SpicyWhat does Hugo (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and daily wear, leisure and business settings lead. Half of the voters call it masculine.
It opens with pine needle, mint, grapefruit and green apple, cool and fruity. The heart brings lavender, sage and jasmine, and the base rests on sandalwood, vetiver and moss. As it dries, the scent moves from green to a woody footing.
