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 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.

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.
