Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Hugo XY Eau de Parfum
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.

Our Verdict - des Jardins Eau de Toilette
A refreshing, zingy citrus explosion that perfectly captures summer in a bottle, although some find it a bit too simple or generic to be truly memorable. It's an easy grab-and-go for those who love a natural, uplifting scent, but don't expect a powerhouse.

Season and Occasion Fit

Hugo XY Eau de Parfum

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, inoffensive nature and poor longevity make it perfect for the office where subtlety is key, and ideal for casual and sport use. It's too light for formal events or dates where a more impactful scent is preferred.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Its light sillage and fresh, clean accords make it ideal for office wear and casual settings, as it won't offend. However, its 'body mist' performance and bright scent mean it's less suited for formal events or a romantic date.
