Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive affair. Hugo Intense swings between 'masterpiece' and 'synthetic headache' for many. Expect a bold, sweet apple that leans fresh rather than foodie, all backed by a surprisingly clean leather base. Love it or hate it, it's definitely not boring.
Perfume Parlour's version of Hugo Boss's Hugo Intense. The youthful, spicy red-apple-and-cinnamon opening that defines the original is captured, with Crimson Spirit smoothing out the original's sometimes-synthetic edge into a warmer, fuller fruity-spicy take.
