Which Should You Buy?
Hugo by Hugo Boss is a proper '90s time capsule, divisive for its synthetic edge, but widely adored for its fresh, green apple-inflected charm. It's a classic that many started their fragrance journey with, still sparking nostalgia and debate today.
A truly unique fig, this is a fresh, green, and aromatic take on a note that can often be too sweet or creamy. It's distinctive, clean, and quite unlike anything else.
