What does Hugo XY Summer Edition smell like?

It opens with grapefruit, bright and citrus-led. The heart pairs cardamom with quince: cardamom adds a cool, spicy edge, quince a soft fruity note. In the base, cinnamon, musk and woody notes settle in, giving warmth beneath the fresh start. The overall impression stays fresh and fruity, with a light spicy and woody undertone.
