The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2011 and crafted by perfumers Céline Barel and Pierre Wargnye, Hugo Just Different is an aromatic fragrance that encapsulates the essence of contemporary elegance. The composition opens with a vibrant blend of mint and Granny Smith apple, providing a fresh and invigorating start. This green and fruity opening gives way to a heart of basil and freesia, which adds a subtle herbal freshness. The base notes of cashmeran, patchouli, labdanum, and olibanum create a warm, woody and musky foundation that grounds the fragrance and ensures longevity.
Apply one or two sprays to ensure that the mint and Granny Smith apple notes don't overpower the base. The fragrance develops fully over an hour, so it's best used in the morning for a lasting effect throughout the day.
