Alain AstoriBeatrice Piquet

"Hugo Dark Blue is a masculine Eau de Toilette introduced in 1999. Its character combines bright citrus and ginger with aromatic herbs, spices, and dark woods. The fragrance develops toward a warm oriental-woody base built around vanilla, benzoin, cedar, vetiver, and patchouli. The opening is energetic and zesty, while the heart adds a darker, more assertive character through cypress, mahogany, cardamom, geranium, and sage. It is a distinctive and somewhat polarizing scent rather than a conventionally soft or understated men's fragrance. Overall, Hugo Dark Blue offers a bold spicy-citrus profile with moderate performance and an unmistakably masculine presence."
