Hugo Dark Blue is an eau de toilette for men by Hugo Boss, launched in 1999 and composed by Alain Astori. Designed for men who live at night, it brings together ginger, grapefruit, lime and cardamom around a heart of geranium, cypress and clary sage, over a base of suede, patchouli, benzoin and tobacco, in a blue bottle shaped like a shaker.

Hugo Dark Blue opens with ginger, grapefruit, lime and cardamom, places geranium, cypress and clary sage at the heart; suede, patchouli, benzoin, tobacco, cedar and vetiver form the base.

Ginger and citrus

Ginger leads the opening, lively and sharp. Grapefruit and lime brighten it with their zest, and cardamom lifts them with a spicy, fresh edge, for a cocktail as unexpected as it is provocative.

An aromatic heart

Geranium, with rose and mint tones, pairs with cypress, resinous, and clary sage, herbal: a masculine heart, at once floral, aromatic and spicy.

Suede, patchouli and benzoin

The base blends a suede accord, patchouli and benzoin, a resin with vanilla tones, with a touch of tobacco. Cedar and vetiver bring their dry woods.
