Hugo XY (2007)
by Hugo Boss

Not bad.
Best part is the top notes. Comes off likes a fresh, cooling pear. Then a couple hours in, the crushed ice and basil comes. Still refreshing, but a little peppery, and this is how it goes until it fades away.
Can be boring after a while, but great if you're just hanging out with friends.

Blind bought this a while ago 100 ml for £20 I think, started out quite nice for the first few weeks then I could barely stand the scent, when using 3-5 sparys, lasted about 6-8 hour on my skin scent cloud about 2-3 hours opening is very nice can realy smell the pear in this for about 30-50 mins then goes to mint, which is really strong and that why I didnt like this becuase i started to give me a slight headache.

Not a bad scent if it works for you I loved for the first few weeks only use this scent as a chill out day scent or a house scent. dont wear it often.

6.8/10 I rate this

I'm 17 and I tried every single cologne in the perfume shop. This is what I came up with, it comes off with pure pear smells. Then it dries down to something more sexy and masculine... They said it lasts 5-6 hours? It lasted 9 hours on me and I had two basketball practices that day. It's a strong cologne and it smells GREAT!

Neutral shading into positive.
This isn't bad. Just a little too sweet for my taste, but otherwise acceptable.
Leafy-herbal notes and a touch of wood.
Smooth, pleasant. Not synthetic.
A little too smooth, and a little too sweet to suit me -- but many would enjoy it.

Such a nice spicy cologne. It's so.. calming, so smooth, and it lasts. It can be used as your daily scent, it can also be used at formal occasions, it does not lack the one feature I love : versatility.

It starts with a blast of modern icy mint, not the kind you find in Live Jazz, and the pear tree leaf note is lovely. It then settles down to a cold icy minty fruity tea-like kind of vibe. The drydown is transparent, soothing and simple.

Overall: ***** (5 stars out of 5)
Versatility: ***** (5 stars out of 5)
Longevity: **** (4 stars out of 5)
Projection: *** (3 stars out of 5)

Eh, what's this? A Hugo Boss scent I actually enjoyed??

HUGO XY smells fresh yet subtly woodsy, wisely avoiding the jarring note of synthetic cedar found in many other similarly themed fragrances. And its cool aquatic texture imparts on the wearer a pleasantly invigorating out-of-the-shower feel, making this a decent inoffensive accessory particularly suited for the workplace or even after gym. Longevity however is a little too short, even for me.
