Hugo Boss Hugo is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1995, created by Bob Aliano. The fragrance opens with Lavender, Basil, Apple, and Mint, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Geranium, Sage, and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Fir Resin, Patchouli, and Cedar.

Our verdict on Hugo: Favourite

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.

Its fresh and clean profile makes it highly suitable for casual wear and the gym, with many reviewers specifically mentioning it for these occasions.

About

Opens with a lively, crisp burst of green apple, mint, and grapefruit, immediately energetic and fresh. Lavender and basil provide an aromatic, slightly herbal counterpoint before settling into a heart of clean jasmine, sharp geranium, and spicy carnation. The dry-down grounds the scent with earthy patchouli, clean cedar, and a distinctive fir resin, evoking a walk through a verdant forest.
