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 Fir Resin. Hugo Boss's Hugo carries a Favourite verdict, an aromatic-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.

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.
