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 - No.181 Hue Go │ EDP
Eden's No.181 recreates Hugo Boss Hugo's crisp green-apple-and-oakmoss fougère structure with fresh mint and fir standing in for some of the original's grassier facets - a solid, cheaper way into a scent that basically invented the modern green-aftershave category.
