Very helpful Review 14

If my son were already at the age of perfume....

I'd take Hugo Reversed home with him right now. Was my first thought when I tested it. Attracted me the plain white (white always arouses my interest) packaging.
Very clean, fresh, slightly citrus-heavy with a pleasant flavour (that must be rosemary, which I always like). The fragrance for a nice, casual, handsome youngster.

But that does not mean boring. And boring is basically only who is also boring in spirit...

For fragrance fanatics who expect great uniqueness and overwhelming fragrance developments he is certainly nothing. Vintage fans who can only get fresh scents with an extra touch of musty oak moss will dismiss it as new-fangled stuff.

For me one of the best fresh fragrances I've found in the last....

Grapefruitissimo

"Hugo Reversed" smelled for me, with a blind test without any information, first after a tangy mandarin and a loose find smell. Now, after several test days, by sun and by storm, with knowledge about the scent pyramid and Co., this impression has itself... solid. The mandarin has become more of a grapefruit, and something is lacking in the spine or the woody components, but otherwise it's finally a boss again, who can scold so much...

"Hugo Reversed" always goes down well. I found that out quickly. Great! A fragrance with open arms. Juicy, funny, sweet. Without even a second of being cheap or soggy or sticky. You'd almost want to get yourself sucked in. And so do our fellow men, apparently. It is a creamy grapefruit with slight vetiver undertones and modern-transparent woods that quickly fall silent. This is extremely simple, unspectacular and straightforward. But basically it is simply a pleasant, beautiful fragrance. Especially for the office next spring. Sunny and in a good mood at the touch of a button. Reminds me of a more sympathetic, less squeaky "sauvage."

Flacon: Hugo as usual. Only vice versa and white. Not bad. Not great either.
Sillage: not obtrusive, not super quiet
Shelf life: 5 good hours

Conclusion: Hugo finally has another hit on his hand. Very good for a lot, even if knitted quite simply. But: he is soo a crowdpleaser!

Spot landing in the mainstream !

"Excuse me, where's the mainstream?"

Well, always the nose long ;-)

"Very funny, can you be a little more specific?"

But of course, ... they start with a grapefruit that looks a little artificial and is more soft than citric, but very refreshing. Meanwhile, leave the bergamot on the left, which is not perceptible anyway. From the beginning you will be accompanied by rosemary that somehow reminds me of a mixture of predominantly ginger and a little cardamom, which is over the whole course of fragrance the essential odor, nice warm and spicy. She is constantly surrounded by a ghost called Pamplewood.

"Who's that supposed to be?"

I don't know, but it's on the map. And maybe it also contributes to this warm, slightly spicy, very pleasing scent, which you can hear all the way along, but it is not made of wood.

And so after three and a half hours a fine vetiver creeps in, which in the further course indicates more and more the direction. It is slightly citric and appears quite bright and transparent.

In total you need about 5-6 hours, on clothes it could take 1-2 hours longer.

"Man, that sounds great and I'll repeat it again: Well, basically three milestones, grapefruit, rosemary and vetiver, with the middle one being the biggest. The bergamot doesn't go with it and Pamplewood seems in spirit ... somehow clear and confusing at the same time. Can't you be a little more precise?"

OK, you're the boss, here are the coordinates:

> 5 / 00.40.60

h = S t a n d e n

G = Grapefruit
R = Rosemary
V = Vetiver

Conclusion: You can say what you want about the Boss fragrances of recent years, this REVERSED is anything but special, but we can't just be in niches. So I consider this well balanced fresh spicy fragrance especially suitable for work and leisure. It doesn't bother anyone and seems rather pleasant and attractive at the same time. In other words, a

Spot landing in the mainstream !
