The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2018, Hugo Urban Journey by Hugo Boss is crafted by perfumer Daphné Bugey and embodies the essence of urban sophistication. The fragrance opens with a vibrant green accord that captures the freshness of city life, complemented by floral notes that add an element of elegance. As the scent unfolds, black tea provides a subtle warmth, while guaiac wood and sandalwood create a woody, powdery base that grounds the composition in a sense of enduring style.
This fragrance has a medium sillage and longevity. Start with one or two sprays on pulse points; the green and floral top notes are bright but fade within an hour, making way for the warm base notes that last throughout the day. It's best suited for daytime wear when you want a fresh, urban vibe.
