Hugo Woman

Okay, here I come again! But, this time I won't talk about my nostalgic feelings, I'll talk about this precious jewel as it is. At first spray it comes out very fruity - melon. But, ever since the first time I smelled it (almost 20 years ago), what comes to my mind is watermelon instead of melon. I actually don't smell any apple. Right after the "watermelon" come the floral notes. A clean and refreshing floral that makes me feel calm and relaxed. But, never be mistaken by it's freshness! It's not a light scent. It's strong, extremely long lasting and with great projection. Don't worry, it's not a sickening strong, just a powerful fresh, if that exists! lol Anyway, it's gonna make you want to keep smelling it all the time. After 12 hours (yes! it lasts that much or even more on my skin, under my hair...) there's still that bit of watermelon, but calmed down and some light floral scent that reminds me of jasmine. Also some clean scent that I can't quite describe. It's not woody at all on me and to my nose, there's no vanilla. Just fruits and flowers!

Finally. I got myself another bottle of this precious jewel after years of search. The new version doesn't suit my taste at all. It's so different from this original one. I love this one with the red stripe at the side. I was lucky enough to get a bottle from 2013, so if it has been reformulated after that, I can't tell. My 2013 bottle smells exactly the same as the one I had in 2000. It immediately took me back to my 17 years old. Carefree and young me! Never ever in my life I'm going to give away this bottle like I did with my last one just because I thought I had too many perfumes at that time. I'm keeping this for the next 20 years (or more!) since I can't make myself to wear it abundantly in fear of its end, although my bottle is filled to the top. I'll just wear it whenever I miss the old days or want to feel rejuvenated. P.S. I don't know about other countries, but in Brazil it's really hard to find it.

I guess I'm the minority here... but I love this fragrance! I remember it was launched in 1997 when I was 14 years old (now you know my age). It has since been discontinued, but I was fortunate enough to find some extra bottles still on the shelves at a local drugstore, so it should last me a looooong time! It's obviously a very fun, girly scent, which is probably why it appealed to me so much at the age of 14. However years later, I still see the appeal... it's perfect for casual days, those days when you just want to smell nice and super feminine. It may have lost some of its popularity, but that's not a problem, it means that on days when I wear it, I won't smell like 99% of the population :) Cheers!

This is the most special perfume for me. First time I smelled it in the 90's magazine strip and fell in love with it but I knew that I could not afford it as it was very expensive for me when it first came out and was all the rage. Back than my bf now husband gifted me a full set with gel and perfume box from macy's. I still have leftovers from the 90's and it's smells just as it was but the bottle from 2010 went a little off. Sometimes the fruit smells like pear to me instead of apple but only for a first 5 min. I can see chanel 5 smelling old but this, my mind doesn't wrap around smelling old it's so good.

The initial burst of this is quite alcohol-y and fresh, but I am absolutely in love with the way this perfume develops an hour or so into wearing it. It's a very casual, feminine and comforting scent. Stays close to the skin and isn't sharp or aggressive. All the notes blend in well together and don't compete. I have been using this perfume on and off for 10 yrs, and my favourite thing to do is to spray a light mist on a top I will wear the next day. The scent lingers delicately for 1-2 days. Sadly, the newer Hugo Boss Woman doesn't compare to this original version.

This perfume has always been on my shelf since 2000s, and after taking a break from it I just ordered a new bottle with a new design and what a disappointment it is!! Personally, i think it barely smells like the original: the alcohol notes are obnoxiously loud and the rest of that wonderful smell is barely there. It literally feels like if someone added more alcohol into the bottle, watered it down and called it a redesign. I am so upset, I cant even describe - it was the smell of my youth and now I feel like I was robbed of it.

As I’ve mentioned before, this is one of my all-time favorites. While it didn’t turn many heads, it was a great casual scent for me during high school, through college, and during my entry into the working world. This would be a great choice for jobs where strong perfumes are discouraged! I used the last of this up not too long after I started at my old job and I miss its fresh clean fruitiness. I now have the EDP which is similar but with stronger fruity notes.

I have this perfume in 2007, I wore it every day for work, casual, dinner, party and shopping, I get so many compliments,and I'm glad to say this perfume is one of my favorite perfume from Boss line after Boss Femme, super amazing with excellent sillage and excellent longevity. I hope i could find 125ml the biggest bottle, but not sure if was discontinue for the biggest size. And for sure, it is reformulation now on days.

This had a chokehold on my teenage years I went through 5 bottles of this back in the late 90s/early 00s Then, I got this as a gift for my 30th bday and it was never the same. It felt like it had outlived it's best days. Summers were different back then and so were we. Almost like we're not cool enough to keep wearing this 20 years later. XD I still love it though. It's exactly my cup of tea

I loved this one! To Nancinha who posted above, I was told two years ago that this was discontinued and replaced by Boss Woman. To VogueBoy - if you would please repost what retailers in Europe might be carrying it that would be GREAT! To me it would be worth a shipping fee to try it again. I'm currently wearing Laila, which I LOVE, but switching among a few favorites can be nice.

I was skeptical about this but tried it anyway, I am very pleasantly surprised! It is light but full of flavour. Fruity floral but not at all samey like so many perfumes can be. This is something different. Longevity isn't great, but it would be ideal for work, and occasions where you don't want to draw too much attention, but still want to smell fresh and stylish.

This perfume is one of the best women's perfumes I have ever smelled. This is very suitable for a young lady who has not married. And looking for love. Actually this reminds me of true and innocent love. It smells like frangipani. Soft and delicate. It gives so many emotions. It is a beautiful fragrance. Perfect for dates. It is very unique. Not strong.

I wore this perfume as a young teenager and have recently started wearing it again. I love the fruity top notes and the vanilla notes that come through in the drydown keep the scent balanced. It's a good fragrance for work/school and in warmer weather.

A great fragrance for the office. I am in the military and this is a very clean, non-offensive scent to wear. Doesn't smell like I doused myself all over. Very versatile too if you want to wear this in the evening with more sprays.

I don't know why it has such a low rating. This is my to-go scent and to work. People around me love it! It's one of the refreshing scents that I grab for and prefer this way better than Ralph Lauren's Ralph.

I wore this scent in my early teen years. The scent is fresh, floral, fruity and crisp to earthy. A unique scent that will transform any girl with a single spray.

this may not smell distinctively, but it smells fresh and pleasant..its perfect for summer because it doesnt give u a headache and refreshes nicely..

great, clean flowey. makes you smile and feel happy. people around me like it a lot, i noticed. too bad it lasts for about 2 hours.

I stated below that it has been d/c, but I'm just going by what I was told... this information could be wrong! I hope it's wrong!!

Clean, crisp, fresh ... great fragrance for summer and warm weather. It's rather light floral but i dont feel any fruits in it ...
