Hugo Dark Blue (1999)
by Hugo Boss

Hugo Dark Blue was categorised as an ambery fougere scent in the H&R Chart, while others list it as an oriental spicy scent. I concur with the former, as it's always seemed like a cross between Boss Elements Aqua and Fahrenheit to me. It's an excellent long lasting scent, and I've yet to come across another scent quite like it - it seems loud, yet understated at the same time.
Regards.

I know it's chemically and smells like a dodgy nightclub in the early Noughties but i still absolutely adore the stuff! I came back to it after discovering a nearly empty bottle in a friends wardrobe a few years ago. It's warm and yummy and always brings me lots of compliments (although usually from middle-aged women, which isn't ideal when you're a young-ish gay man!!) I'm a big fan of orientals in the evening/night-time and Dark Blue has a really individual edge to it without being too cloying like some i could mention. Obviously it will never become a timeless classic because it is very much of it's time which was in some ways a rather tastleless time(!) but there's something really fun about it that for now i'm still enjoying.

I like a few of the Hugo Boss fragrances, so when I saw this in TJ Maxx, I thought I'd pick up a bottle. I mean hey, it was only $28 for 75mL. But when I put this on, I think I got the biggest headache of my life. The overly synthetic quality of the fragrance was overwhelming; I had to take a shower immediately to get the stuff off. I threw the bottle away shortly thereafter and ate the $28. I'll stick to other Hugos from now on.

This scent is a crime against humanity.
Something that has lime, ginger, cypress and olibanum (frankincense) should be terrific, lean, zesty, aromatic.
This is so sweet and heavy it is nauseating.
Suggests an old purse with lipstick and foundation make-up.
