What does Hugo Reversed smell like?

It opens with Calabrian bergamot and grapefruit, a bright, fruity citrus. In the heart, rosemary and Pamplewood® add a green, spicy and woody line. Haitian vetiver leaves a dry, woody base, while the sweetness and a synthetic edge stay in the background.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick summer and spring, and it is seen as fitting daily, leisure and business settings. It reads mostly masculine and modern. Guerlain L'Homme Idéal Platine Privé and Oscar de la Renta Gentleman have a close profile.
