What does The Scent Absolute for Him smell like?

Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring also fitting; summer gets very little support. It leans towards evenings, leisure and nights out, while still working for business and daily wear. Around half of voters call it masculine, and some find it modern.

Ginger gives the opening a spicy warmth. In the heart, maninka fruit and mondia root carry the sweet, fruity and gourmand side. Vetiver lays a woody base underneath, with the fresh accord running quietly throughout. Hugo Boss The Scent for Him (Eau de Toilette) and Hugo Boss The Scent Intense for Him have a close profile.
