The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2009 and crafted by perfumer Bob Aliano, Hugo Create Limited Edition by Hugo Boss is a refreshing aromatic fragrance that embodies the essence of creativity and innovation. The composition opens with green apple, lavender, and grapefruit, creating an invigorating freshness that immediately captures attention. As it settles, sage, geranium, and pine tree lend an herbal-green quality to the heart, while oakmoss, vetiver, and patchouli bring a rich earthiness to the base. This fragrance is designed for those who embrace both the clarity of fresh ideas and the grounding comfort of traditional elements.

How to wear it

Given its bright top notes that fade quickly, apply two sprays to ensure the rich base notes emerge. This scent is best enjoyed close to skin rather than across a room.
