Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Artisan Blu Eau de Parfum

A clean, green, and unapologetically soapy freshie that's either a budget-friendly delight for warm weather or a disappointing scrub for those expecting more complexity. Don't expect beast mode, but do expect a fresh out of the shower vibe.

Our Verdict - Hugo Eau de Parfum

Hugo by Hugo Boss is a proper '90s time capsule, divisive for its synthetic edge, but widely adored for its fresh, green apple-inflected charm. It's a classic that many started their fragrance journey with, still sparking nostalgia and debate today.
