Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Hugo EDT

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.

Our Verdict - Hugo EDP

This is Divain's take on Hugo Boss's Hugo, the brand's green-aromatic signature. The lavender-birch-cedar structure is a decent likeness of the original's crisp, forest-like character, but the dupe's birch note lacks the original's smoky sharpness, and the whole composition reads softer and less distinctive.
