Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Hugo Red EDP
Hugo Red is a divisive, quirky blend of fruity sweetness and metallic edge. You'll either love its unique, energetic profile or find its synthetic side a bit nauseating. Definitely a 'try before you buy' kind of scent, but compelling for those who dare to be different.

Our Verdict - Cloud 9 EDP
This one's a proper beast, strong and projecting, with a definite masculine edge despite the coconut. Some reckon it's a bit too familiar though, so don't expect groundbreaking originality.

Season and Occasion Fit

Hugo Red

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

With moderate performance and a fresh, uplifting vibe, Hugo Red suits casual wear and could work in an office setting if applied sparingly. Its uniqueness and playful fruitiness make it interesting for a casual date, but it lacks the gravitas for formal events.

Cloud 9

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its strong projection and longevity make it less suited for an office environment, but perfect for casual outings or dates where you want to make an impression. The fresh and fruity accords lend themselves well to informal settings, though the underlying woodiness gives it enough depth for some evening wear.
