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.
Favourite
Our Verdict - CH301 - Ego is Platinum EDT
Chases Chanel Platinum Egoiste's aromatic-woody-floral formula reasonably well, though the oakmoss-vetiver base is lighter and less crisply metallic than the original's cult signature.
