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.
If you're after a budget-friendly green apple blast that gets heads turning, Rage Green is a decent shout. It's a crowd-pleaser that punches above its weight for the price, though some might find it a bit too familiar.
