Hugo Now

Nice soapy while smelling more substancial than a soap or spray. Works currently in November as a gym scent or homebody in front the tv watching sports. Has a fresh water aquatic note. I put the Hugo Ice up when I got this. This is like Hugo Ice parfum. I value workout scents to the point of having pre and post workout scents. This is more post. Doesn't last longer than it needs to, about 3 hours with 3 sprays. Maybe 5 hours close in. It's discontinued eBay is selling this as a rare gem, so after this bottle that's it for me. I'm not paying a higher price than what Boss Bottled Absolu is.

I wanted an aquatic fragrance and this is exactly what I got. It has become my favorite because of the balance between water, lemon and slight floral notes. It reminds me of a bit like CK one, with less citrus and powdery scent but smoother overall, giving an impression of cool lake water. I also find the scent overall is unisex, there are not any notes that would suggest males or female, just simple and clean. The design of the bottle is also simple, just frosted glass to show the teal color of the perfume, with bottle shape that fits into your hand (See my Fragram for picture).

I got a full 125ml tester on EBay for £29.99. For that price can't fault it. Cool and fresh with the vetiver to stop it being too generically blue, ideal for 20°c+ days. Hopefully we have not been locked down through the best of the weather

If you like Nautica voyage / Bvlgari aqua marine this is very similar to these two fragrances

This one is a very likable freshie. If you need your fragrances to stand out and be unique then this one isn't for you. The DNA of this scent is very typical freshie material but it's especially likable because of how fresh it really is. This is a very cooling type of freshie. I don't know what ice smells like but I really do smell something icy. This one also has mint which definitely adds to the special freshness this one has. I feel like if you put this in the fridge for a little while on an especially hot day and spray it on it would elevate the freshness even more. I really like this one but it still is quite generic like most Hugo's are. 8.5/10
