What does Hugo Intense smell like?
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters name spring and fall, then summer, with winter further behind. It leans towards leisure, evening and daily wear, and also suits a night out. Voters mostly call it masculine and modern.
The top is red apple, red grapefruit and lime, warmed by cinnamon. In the heart, red thyme and geranium push that freshness in a greener direction. The base of red leather, cedarwood and patchouli sets a woody, slightly sweet floor. The fresh, aquatic and fruity character stays clear from start to finish.
