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.

Favourite

Our Verdict - Zephyr

Fresh, uplifting, and undeniably green, Zephyr is a modern take on an old-school aromatic. It's clean, bright, and perfect for when you want to feel put-together without fuss.

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.

Also Works:

Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Its fresh, clean, and moderate projection makes it ideal for office wear and casual settings, offering a subtle lift without being overwhelming. The green and aromatic accords are less suited for romantic dates or very formal events.
