Hugo Energise (2005)
by Hugo Boss

Actually low in energy, this is a very light fragrance and stays close to the skin. I found that it dries down quickly to a long-lasting sandalwood type note. While not very engaging, you will smell nice. Great for just anything low-key like hanging out or watching a movie or something along those lines.

Perfect for class, bumming around, or just lounging!

melons, watermelons, very fresh, very sexy, this is one of my favorite summer time scents. WOmen love it , everytime I wear this I get at least 2 compliments from females.

Not as vile as the ultra-vile Hugo, but nothing spectacular either. And another thing i don't get : why on earth is mr. Jonathan Rhys-Meyers this secnt's official image, as the decadently stylish actor would be hard to imagine wearing such a scent, when he's in fact made for classics of dandyfied British masterpices by Creed or Penhaligon. Mismatched image, completely synthtetic and post-postmodern.

I'm not a big fan of Boss' Fragrances, but this one really surprised me. Truly refreshing, light but not fainting, particularly long lasting on my skin. Great combination of smells that seemed fresh and fruity (slightly sweet). Specially good for casual wearing!

The Hugo Boss fragrance I recently tested, Boss Bottled, was a pretty good one. I was hoping that that one might signify a new direction—a direction away from Boss’s typical mediocre and insipid. No such luck, the insipids are back again in full force. Hugo Energise is the same old synthetic, headache inducing stuff Boss has been making for years. From the first sniff, the message is clear: the opening notes are some sort of conglomerate citrus / herb accord done with no artistry, providing no distinction of individual notes, and having lots of that Hugo Boss “ambiance”—that’s what I call that mouthful of synthetic—metallic leftovers that collect from a Boss sniffing session. There is nothing clever, nothing original, certainly nothing organic, nothing new here—same old same old Hugo Boss.
