Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Hugo XY
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 - Pino Silvestre Italian Citrus
This one's a bit of a mixed bag; some find it a cheap thrill, others a cheap motel. It's an interesting twist on the classic Pino, but don't expect it to blow your socks off.

Season and Occasion Fit

Hugo XY

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.

Pino Silvestre Italian Citrus

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Sport

Its fresh, clean, and moderate profile makes it suitable for office wear and casual daytime use, though its lack of projection limits its impact for dates or formal events. The fresh and aromatic accords lend themselves well to sports, but its short longevity necessitates reapplication.
