What does Hugo Element (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

It opens with the cool calone note, while coriander and ginger in the heart add a spicy edge. Cedarwood settles underneath and gives the scent a woody base. Alongside the fresh, aquatic character, a faintly sweet and synthetic tone can be felt.

Longevity and sillage are rated weak, so it stays close to the skin and light. Most voters recommend summer and spring; leisure, daily wear and business are the occasions named most, with sport not far behind. Most voters call it masculine and modern. Hollister Free Wave for Him and Diesel Only the Brave have a close profile.
