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

Its longevity and sillage are both moderate, so it sits quietly at the office or after sport. Winter is the least chosen season, and voters read it as masculine and modern.

The character is fresh, citrusy and fruity. The top holds galbanum, pink pepper and grapefruit; the heart brings metallic notes, pineapple, rhubarb and cedar. In the base, karanal, tonka bean and amber sweeten it and settle it onto a woody footing. Alfa Romeo Red and Le Couvent Aqua Amantia have a close profile.
