Olfastory’s review
Hugo Jeans, a brand-new fragrance, in perfect continuity with the original Hugo
To better understand this fragrance, let us begin by setting the scene. It stems from a long-running collection, begun much earlier, in 1995. Indeed, it was at that time that the very first Hugo was created. It was then a fruity fougère, whose motto was very clear: Don't imitate, innovate! Hugo Jeans by Hugo Boss fully follows in the footsteps of its predecessor. It does indeed have a new scent. However, its individual identity remains the same. Its boldness is ever-present. Its scent is still that of a fougère. On the other hand, the fruity elements have been replaced by other, icier and more aromatic nuances.
Let yourself be won over by the incisive, fresh scent of Hugo Jeans!
Hugo Jeans by Hugo Boss is clearly not lacking in character, and this is felt right from the start. Indeed, from its top notes to its base notes, it displays absolute intensity and forthright virility. It is a bold fragrance that clearly transcends seasonal trends. Its lively breath opens on a duo of grapefruit and lime. These citrus fruits release a zesty, bitter impression. Then, peppermint enters its heart, amplifying its icy character while adding a spicy touch, further reinforced by the addition of juniper berries. The masculinity of the whole then intensifies in its base notes. Their warm, virile breath comes from a sublime blend of sandalwood, vetiver and cedar.
The Hugo Jeans bottle, an unmistakable link between Hugo Boss perfumery and tailoring
Hugo Jeans by Hugo Boss also preserves its predecessor's style in terms of bottle design. It still resembles a flask. Moreover, its cap unscrews like that of a water bottle. It comes in a very urban silver-toned finish. It is connected to the rest of the bottle by a fabric strap reminiscent of denim. Blue is also omnipresent on its surface. This is entirely lacquered in a matte finish. Only the fragrance's logo stands apart from the rest of this visual. Crafted in red and black, it clearly draws a connection to the labels on Hugo Boss jeans. From tailoring to perfumery, there is but a single step!
Hugo Jeans by Hugo Boss, a cry of independence
Hugo Jeans by Hugo Boss clearly wins us over with its philosophy. It makes no attempt whatsoever to resemble other fragrances. With it, trends and fads do not matter. It is a fragrance of independence, freedom and self-affirmation. Bold as can be, it expresses the uniqueness of each individual style. Timeless like a well-fitted pair of jeans, it fully intends to enhance every masculine personality!
