Hugo Intense

Fresh, crisp red apple is the dominating note, like a juicy pink lady apple. Slight herbal & floral touch, which prevents it from being a candy/cloying type of sweetness, its a very fresh/slightly airy type of sweet that becomes very slightly more dense in the deeper dry down. Overall it's not a sweetness that would put you off of using this in higher heat. It's a non offensive type of sweet. It is sweet, yes, but its the kind of sweet that is wearable on warmer days. The floral/very slight herbal nature gives it an slightly airy nature. You can pick up on the leather aswell, supporting nicely in the background of the opening, and as the scent dries deeper the leather becomes more prominent whilst still blending beautifully with the fresh floral apple vibe. The floral apple becomes less prominent after a while and the leather moves forward. It's not an old man type of leather, it's more of a clean, showroom fresh BMW type of leather. Freshly upholstered red leather seats is the vibe I get. Which is great, as I was worried the leather would come across as far more mature then I would want. Na this is niceeee. In my opinion all the notes work very well together. I am not agreeing with people who say it's synthetic, cause that makes me think of a candy like, artificial type of sweetness... which this is not. I think it's the floral/thyme touch that elevates the apple slightly beyond what you would typically expect an apple to smell like. Its a very clean apple. An apple that just came out the wash and it's got some of the floral laundry detergent smell lingering on it when you bite into it, some of the juice from the apple drips onto your fresh designer leather jacket, That's the vibe. I really really like it. I liked it out of the box and the more I smell it, I like it more and more. Very versatile. Signature scent worthy for a man who is searching for one that is fruit forward, yet beautifully balanced, with those fresh + floral and deeper leather notes really giving it a masculine edge. This smells like a clean cut, well groomed man, formal or casual, this is an excellent choice. Does it smell like the discontinued HUGO Red? No. I own both, and it does not remind you of that in the slightest. Completely different scents. I love HUGO Red, so I was hoping that it was going to give a nod to that in some regard. However I'm not disappointed at all, as It's a really really good fragrance. It deserves higher than its current score. It is really really good. I love the fact that it is a fruity/floral fragrance, yet is still distinctly manly. The leather really gives it that masculine edge, and there is no confusion at all over what gender it's intended to be worn by. Love it.

One of my favorite perfumes and in my top 5 for all times. Hugo intense is really underrated, it opens with super fresh, red apple, grapefruit and geranium almost like a laundry soap with the most perfect/good way you can ever imagine, within a hour this soapy vibe start to fade a bit like a hint of it in the background then the mix between red apple, cinnamon and red thyme is heavenly good OMG (don't think that red apple with cinnamon will give you the apple pie smell, NOT AT ALL). The transition of this perfume is really interesting and how the scent transform from the opening to the dray-down is really good and multidimensional, i like the perfume that it transform on multi stages from the opening to the middle then the base. amazing. The performance is fantastic, the longevity is +10 hours (every time i wear it it lasts with me the whole day) and the projection is strong. You can use Hugo Intense all year around it's very versatile and in any occasion work (may you need to spray less), casual outing with friends, gym and vacation/beach, for formal occasions may i would to choose something else but it depends on the vibe of the occasion and the place (maybe you have a launch meeting in the middle of summer and the weather is hot, i mean this will be a good choice as a perfume). Overall: 9.6/10

I really like this one. I'm new to the hobby so I wanted a fresh fragrance but also one that had character. I went to the shop and I tested several ones such as Sauvage (in all its variations), Aventus, Y, MYSLF, Aqua de Gio, BDC, Allure, etc. I found myself drawn to Dylan Blue and this, and ultimately I bought this. This is absolutely not mass appealing and shouldn't be blind bought, it has a harsh opening that reminds me of apple detergent but in a good way, super synthetic at the opening and it can be off putting, but I like it. The middle can be described as vintage, it has a deep floral scent with notes of leather, akin to perfumes that old people would wear. In the drydown, I find it retaining the heart notes (florals) but toning them down. This perfume is just striking and unique, in text it wouldn't seem to work, but in person it won me over. Longevity is around 3h on my skin (my skin destroys fragrances, aqua allegoria, TdH, Eros Flame, etc. last even less) and sillage is pretty good. So it is strong in that department.

Recently tried this fragrance and I must admit I did not expect it to be this good. Its quite spicy and red, you can really notice the red apple and the spices which are a bit like cinnamon. You can sense the OG Hugo boss DNA which I love and I'm glad it has a more unique twist of a fresh DNA without smelling like every other fresh fragrance, which is usually like eggs to me. Its great value for your money and you do not have to worry about someone else wearing it because Hugo Boss is an overlooked brand. I'd highly recommend this fragrance for Spring and Autumn (Fall). You can get away with wearing it on winter, but there are better winter options because this fragrance does become a skin scent after 3 hours on a warm day.

Pleasant, easy to like, easy to wear, easy to enjoy. A fragrance for days in which you want to be uncomplicated. Sweet without being crazy sweet, warm and fresh spicy. It radiants very nice, and it lasts. As the scent develops, you can feel fresh green, kind of citrusy nuances, nice blended with the sweetness. When it dries down it becomes kind of creamy, which I really like. Never been a fan of the Hugo line, but I must admit that my nose likes this one. Edit: I have worn this more, and it has grown on me. I'm really enjoying it, and it has earned me unsolicited complements. If you you ask me, I would recommend this one. Greetings.
