What does Hugo Urban Journey smell like?

It opens with orange and cardamom, joined by Himalayan whorlflower. Black tea and Cascalone® sit in the heart, while gaiac wood, sandalwood and oakmoss ground it in a woody, green base. The accords also bring out an aquatic and fruity side, with spice staying in the background.

Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, business and daily wear lead the occasions. It reads as masculine and modern. Cerruti 1881 Acqua Forte and Mexx Mexx Man (Eau de Toilette) have a close profile.
