Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Hugo XY EDT

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 - Simply For Him EDT

Utterly generic. This one's an "on discount in the supermarket checkout aisle" kind of fragrance. It aims for mass appeal and lands squarely in the middle of nowhere. Don't bother.

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.

Seasons

Also Works:

Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Its clean, inoffensive nature and low sillage make it suitable for office wear. However, its lack of character means it will struggle to make an impact on a date or formal occasion.
