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 one's a bit of a damp squib. Unless you fancy smelling faintly of saltwater and talcum powder with zero lasting power, you can give 'Stay Cool' a miss. There are far better fresh scents out there.

Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Occasions
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
Its poor projection and longevity make it unsuitable for most occasions where you want to be noticed. It might just pass for a casual, personal fresh scent, but reviews suggest even that is a stretch.
