Which Should You Buy?
Hugo XY is a decent, airy green-fruity scent that's sadly hampered by its frankly abysmal performance. Many love the smell, calling it unique and pleasant, but most agree it simply doesn't stick around. A good daily scent if you don't mind reapplying.
This marine scent hits hard with nostalgia for some, evoking memories of salty Mediterranean holidays, while others find it a little too literal, like a medicinal herb garden by the sea. Love it or hate it, you can't deny its unique coastal character.

Occasions
Its moderate projection and longevity make it suitable for casual wear, especially in warmer weather where its fresh aspects shine. While some might find it office-friendly due to its clean nature, its distinct saltiness and herbal punch could be a bit much for formal settings or intimate dates.
