Hugo Boss Hugo x Krink is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2025, created by Sonia Constant. Hugo x Krink opens with Banana, settles into a heart of Geranium, and dries down to a base of Labdanum. Hugo Boss's Hugo x Krink carries a Favourite verdict, a musk-led wear.

This is a seriously underrated gem from Hugo Boss, far more complex and sophisticated than its playful banana opening suggests. It's a modern, artistic take on fruity freshness that's truly addictive and deserves more attention. Don't sleep on this distinct scent profile.

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.

Its fresh, fruity, and slightly sweet nature makes it perfect for casual wear and dates, as noted by reviewers who found it easy to wear and candy-like. While it has a sophisticated drydown, the prominent banana and sweet accords might be a bit too playful for very formal settings, but its refreshing quality could work for a relaxed office environment.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

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

About

Hugo x Krink opens with a vibrant, fresh banana note, crisp and slightly sweet but never childish or artificial, giving it a cool, slightly metallic edge. This bright, fruity blast then merges with a sharp, elegant geranium in the heart, adding a polished, floral lift. As it settles, a warm, creamy labdanum base emerges, softening the banana into a smooth, milky sweetness with a rich, resinous undertone. It's a surprisingly sophisticated blend of fruity, floral, and amber warmth.
