Where to buy

Wishing to create very different fragrances, this is what inspired the house Hugo Boss to create a duo of fragrances that are resolutely masculine or feminine. Hugo XX thus appears as a concentration of femininity that is nevertheless never far from its more virile counterpart.

Mature femininity as seen by Hugo Boss

While some fragrances from the house Hugo Boss are aimed at a fairly young audience, the Hugo XX woman appears to be more mature and more ambitious than these. Quickly forget the hardened, party-loving single woman: Hugo XX is the fragrance of a woman in a relationship (with XY) while still retaining a good dose of impertinence and irreverence. She plays on contrasts and intensely displays her femininity as if to better distinguish herself from the male gender. Thus, Hugo XX is a particularly sensual fragrance with an unrivaled glamorous quality. The rivalry between men and women thus seems never to have so beautifully elevated two essences. These are at once completely opposed yet particularly complementary. Together they create a sublime harmony and resonate like two fused accords that are utterly different yet cannot help but be brought together. Hugo Boss fragrances are akin to a modern relationship that answers to no reason but simply to the call of the heart. The Hugo XX woman thus seems to take pleasure in letting herself be guided by her instinct.

The very feminine gourmand character of Hugo XX

Hugo XX is a fragrance created by the talented Daphné Bugey. It plays on a very floral aspect but also a particularly fruity one. Additionally, this fragrance reinterprets the aroma of Basmati rice to turn it into a charming composition. Hugo XX opens with a fruity, juicy and exotic blend of lychee, mandarin and blackcurrant. From this point on, it becomes impossible to resist its sweet, gourmand character. Then, it becomes more sun-kissed and luminous thanks to an addition of sambac jasmine, a white flower very present in women's fragrances. Hugo XX then further asserts its romanticism through rose. This is worked in a particularly airy way, at once downy and light as a cloud. Finally, the whole is enveloped in sandalwood for a sophisticated, milky finish. Likewise, amber and musky notes bring further sophistication to the composition. Hugo XX is then housed in a stylized bottle, a sort of spray can reimagined with elegance. This is the perfect echo of its masculine counterpart. It is topped with a metal cap echoing the color of its orange-hued juice. The latter resembles champagne and thus promises to bring a truly uplifting, sparkling effect to everyday life.
