Hugo Red

Our verdict on Hugo Red: Favourite

Hugo Red is a divisive, quirky blend of fruity sweetness and metallic edge. You'll either love its unique, energetic profile or find its synthetic side a bit nauseating. Definitely a 'try before you buy' kind of scent, but compelling for those who dare to be different.

About

Explosively fresh, Hugo Red opens with the sharp, almost tart kick of grapefruit and galbanum, swiftly followed by a peculiar metallic sheen that sets it apart. The heart reveals a juicy, tropical pineapple note alongside tart rhubarb and clean cedar, creating a 'hot and cold' sensation. It settles into a warm, slightly sweet amber-tonka base, retaining a hint of its initial edgy, fruity character.
