Hugo Boss Hugo Intense is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Natalie Gracia-Cetto and Roxanne Kirkpatrick. Hugo Intense opens with Red Apple, Grapefruit, Lime, and Cinnamon, settles into a heart of Geranium and Thyme, and dries down to a base of Leather, Cedar, and Patchouli. Hugo Boss's Hugo Intense carries a Statement verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This one's a divisive affair. Hugo Intense swings between 'masterpiece' and 'synthetic headache' for many. Expect a bold, sweet apple that leans fresh rather than foodie, all backed by a surprisingly clean leather base. Love it or hate it, it's definitely not boring.

About

Imagine biting into a crisp, red apple, its juicy sweetness mingled with a zesty splash of grapefruit and lime, then dusted with warm cinnamon. As it settles, a clean, modern leather emerges, not old-school or dusty, but like the interior of a brand new car. Geranium and a touch of thyme add an aromatic, almost soapy freshness, preventing the fruit from becoming overly sugary, before a woody patchouli anchors the base, giving it a sensual, lasting appeal.
