Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Hugo XX EDT

Hugo XX is a divisive scent, loved by many for its nostalgia and soft femininity, but equally dismissed as generic or synthetic. Expect a pleasant, if unremarkable, fruity floral that might just be your signature or a headache in a bottle.

Favourite

Our Verdict - Violet Sapphire EDP

This one's a cheeky, fruity firecracker. If you're after a loud, fun, and unapologetically tropical scent that won't break the bank, you've found it. Perfect for turning heads without taking life too seriously.

Season and Occasion Fit

Hugo XX

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date

Its soft sillage and 'inoffensive' nature, often described as clean and simple, make it ideal for office and casual wear. While some reviewers find it sensual enough for a date, its lack of strong projection makes it less suitable for formal events or sports.

Violet Sapphire

Seasons

Best For:

Summer

A summer scent - airy and clear, designed for hot weather.

Occasions

Best For:

Date Casual

Also Works:

Sport

Its strong projection and loud fruity character make it less ideal for formal settings or the office. However, it's a fantastic pick for casual outings or dates where its fun, uplifting nature can shine.
