WoodyWhat does Hugo XY (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
It opens with bergamot, pear leaf and cedar, while mint and basil in the heart keep it green and crisp. Patchouli, musk and cedar settle underneath as a woody base. The overall impression is citrusy, aquatic and lightly spicy.
Longevity and sillage are both rated moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, and it leans towards leisure, business and daily wear. It reads masculine and modern. Puma Flowing Man and Issey Miyake L'Eau Bleue d'Issey Eau Fraîche have a close profile.
