Hugo Boss 1995 EDT
Hugo
by Bob Aliano
Hugo Boss Hugo is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1995, created by Bob Aliano. Hugo opens with Grapefruit, Lavender, Apple, and Basil, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Geranium, Carnation, and Sage, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Patchouli, and Canadian Fir Balsam. Hugo Boss's Hugo carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.
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.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.
Best Occasions
Its fresh and clean profile makes it highly suitable for casual wear and the gym, with many reviewers specifically mentioning it for these occasions. While often cited as office-safe due to its inoffensive nature, its moderate sillage and energetic vibe might be a tad much for very formal settings.

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this
