Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Hugo Reversed EDT
A solid, if short-lived, citrus-fresh punch, Hugo Reversed is the ultimate warm-weather grab-and-go. Don't expect miracles in longevity, but for the price, it's a no-brainer for those scorching hot days.
Favourite
Our Verdict - 258 Hugo Boss Hugo Reversed EDP
A simple, tight match to Hugo Reversed's minimalist grapefruit-rosemary-vetiver structure, matching the original's stripped-back, urban-fresh design.
