Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Hugo Iced EDT
Hugo Iced is a divisive freshie; some love its cooling, clean vibe for summer, while others find it too generic, synthetic, and fleeting. If you're after a blast of minty citrus for scorching days, and don't mind reapplying often, this might be your jam. Otherwise, you'll feel short-changed.

Our Verdict - Mind Cold For Men EDP
Mind Cold recreates Hugo Boss's Hugo Iced - that icy mint-and-tea fresh built for hot days. The dupe captures the cooling, herbal-citrus blast and the clean vetiver dry-down well; like the original it leans light, with modest sillage. An easy, affordable hot-weather refresher.
