Tea and mint leaves
The sample I got when I bought it was used up today. In fact, I only wore the scent when I was travelling. I have a tendency to travel nausea, but a fresh and light fragrance helps.
The dominant impression here is fresh mint leaves on green iced tea. There's something citric about it, too. Fresh, light and pleasant. Even very natural. The only thing that bothers me a bit is the stuffness, which is unfortunately typical for this brand. Only had the vetiver base in suspicion, but vetiver only shows up after a few hours and doesn't smell musty at all, but makes the fragrance a bit more masculine.
Apart from the slight mustiness, it bothers me that Hugo Iced is so insanely flat. Sillage is simply none available. Maybe the fragrance is supposed to be a cologne, but it lasts quite a long time. It's just a bit frustrating because the scent itself is totally pleasant and I really want a little more of it.
Whether I'll buy it eventually, I don't know yet. I'm a little ambivalent. He's definitely one of the better boss scents for me. Still, there are some things that bother me.
I would classify him as absolutely unisex. Only the base looks a bit masculine with the vetiver, as I said before.
On a positive note, I would like to point out that Hugo Iced not only smells very authentic of mint and tea, but that it has also left out all sugar and flowery stuff. I was quite disturbed by that in Armanis Acqua di Gioia, for example. If Hugo Iced were a little stronger, it would be a pleasant but straight fragrance. Not playful or flirty, not old-fashioned either. Serious but sympathetic.
