Hugo XX Summer Edition

Tackled this of my mom who's my perfume guru from her ''impulsive perfume buys'' shelf.Absolutely loved it! I would love to buy it again but can't find it anywhere. I think florals in summer edition just gives that extra finishing touch to make me fall in love with it as I tried the original and it doesn't even stand close.

I fell in love with its freshness and simlicity. Fruity notes are softened by jasmine and sandal. It gives me energy. Yes, it is not an unusual scent, but I really love it, because it brings me good memories of last summer and I assoсiate it with freedom and happiness.

I was given this as a gift and I must admit the packaging and the bottle didn't impress me much. I was looking forward to another boring, sporty, aquatic cool waters kind of a fragrance. But, it was a lovely surprise. A delicious summer fragrance. The melon in this is more musky than juicy. The apricot and jasmine notes are very creamy once they have had their time on the skin. I do detect some aquatic notes, but they are not harsh or sharp. All in all, a beautiful composition. Very refreshing.

My mother-FRAGRANTICAname: "gypsyqueenmother" loved this and thought the original was too light and common (in the EDT concentration). This is the perfect summer frag for a woman who does not want her prescence announced 2 minutes before she gets there...but is quite nice when you get close. Perfume should be something that blends with your essence and becomes a part of you, not dominates and defines you before someone interacts with you and XX Summer does this quite nicely. Where XY and XX are designed to create a complimentary fragrance when "combined" on a couple XX Summer has some of the same notes as its consort XY Summer only in different parts of the development...The originals play off one another like a man and a woman in love, but the summer pair is more like yin/yang-soulmates who just happen to be in different bodies with different expressions and polarities. I prefer the summer versions even thought I totally rock the mens original...

This is good as a light summer scent. I can detect melon and some aquatic notes, it's creamy, on me it stays close to the skin, which I like. I found it a nice experience. My boyfriend was not impressed tho.
