Hugo Spray

The crisp scent of a walk through a pine forest on a cool morning, where the freshness of mint and grapefruit meets the subtle earthiness of vetiver and patchouli.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Hugo Spray, launched by Hugo Boss in 2008, is an aromatic green fragrance crafted by perfumer Bob Aliano. This composition opens with a vibrant blend of lavender and green apple, followed by the freshness of mint and grapefruit, creating a lively and invigorating top note. The heart notes of sage, geranium, and carnation add herbal depth, while the base notes of pine tree, vetiver, oakmoss, and patchouli ground the fragrance with earthy warmth.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance to pulse points in the morning for optimal impact. The vibrant top notes will linger initially but give way to the earthy base as the day progresses. Hugo Spray is best suited for daytime wear, where its fresh and herbal character shines.
