    Very energetic with that green twist that reminds me of mixed apple and mint with cashmere and ladanum. I wouldn’t wear it again, but it’s perfect for spring, summer, and fall.

    Top fragrance. I tried it over a decade ago and picked it up on sale just two years back without hesitation. It’s one of my favorites and the most praised. Fresh, with citrus notes that give way to a mentholated finish. Lasts a decent amount on my skin for an EDT. Very versatile, ideal for heat but also works in winter, day or night (though more for daytime).

    Seems youthful. What stands out most is that fresh, fruity, green touch; it says apple, but on my nose it smells like grapes or blackberries. I don’t see it as formal; quite the opposite, it goes perfectly with a hoodie. I feel like a rapper playing basketball every time I wear it. Black clothes are a must. Lasts a maximum of 4 hours, but it’s worth it.

    Hugo Just Different by Hugo Boss. I grabbed it for the price without knowing it, and I was surprised. It has a nice trail, smells like mint with a spicy touch and a hint of a candy store. So far, it’s my favorite from the brand. Rating: 9/10.

    Very delicious perfume. It’s super versatile, my favorite from Hugo Boss.

  7. venanciomike

    A fulfilling and fresh fragrance that doesn’t stand out for many, but I love it; it seems delicious to me. I wish its potency and longevity were more moderate; I don’t give it 10/10 in those aspects, but with 6 hours of wear time and a slightly stronger trail, it would be perfect. It’s a pity it fades after 3 hours and is one of the few where, after some time, you can’t even smell it by bringing your nose close to the skin. It vanishes, puff. An aroma that loves me but is as fleeting as few. I take it with the best attitude: a little of the good things.

    Honestly, I feel it’s a very elegant perfume, it has a good trail, and it’s excellent for an elegant occasion at any time of day.

  9. mateoortiz33

    Youthful and delicious perfume, one of the most versatile in my collection. With just a few sprays, it attracts compliments. As for the price-to-quality ratio, I’m not sure I’d recommend it, although many people love its mentholated scent.

    To my taste, it’s citrusy, but it doesn’t last as long as a shooting star, even with a ‘beast mode’ application. I use it daily at work as a missed opportunity and to avoid leaving a trail. It’s nothing elaborate or sophisticated. Definitely a bad fragrance.

    Bottle of autumn: citrus and fruity. I got this as a gift and use it constantly. I think we’re missing out by not considering it one of the most versatile scents. Smells like apple, citrus, wood, and spices. Gets compliments, lasts 3 hours in temperate/cold weather, and up to 3 more hours on the skin. Not for formal events, but perfect for cocktails, casual outings, or everyday wear.

    Very rich and pleasant. You get green apple with sweetened mint and soft basil in the dry down. The downside is it doesn’t last long on the skin; without exaggerating, you can smell it for about 2 hours and then it becomes very faint. I use it for going to university in the heat or casual outings where I don’t want to bother anyone. It’s not annoying at all, so if you want something pleasant and discreet, I recommend it, though buy it on sale because it doesn’t justify the original price.

    Very pleasant, fresh with apple and mint. I loved the cilantro note, very subtle but recognizable, giving it an earthy and masculine touch alongside the incense. Another plus: nothing synthetic or plastic. Excellent price; the only little issue is the 3-4 hour longevity where you need to reapply. I used it for the gym and in the car for years. I doubt I’ll buy it again unless it’s on a ‘clearance’ deal.

    Casual, perfect for everyday in any occasion. It’s not bold, soft and calm, but it doesn’t leave you indifferent. The opening is a bit penetrating, a sweet and sour apple that can be dizzying; in my case, it gives me a headache if I smell it up close. After a few minutes, it transforms into an elegant, serious, and mature scent, keeping that sweet apple but softer and deeper, with a caramelized touch, all very discreet. It’s my fourth bottle and I’ll keep using it. This Hugo Boss has gotten compliments from female couples, I suppose that’s a plus. Its problem is that it disappears after 3-4 hours. It has a potent opening that deceives, but I like that it’s volatile to use casually without drawing attention. I totally recommend it.

  17. Fraganceando_madrid

    Based on mint, apple, and basil. It’s a follower of ‘Hugo’, especially in the dry down, but it introduces an interesting, well-perceptible freesia note, which along with the mint, basil, patchouli, and the typical Boss apple, rounds out the composition. Signature fragrance at a good price, moderate performance. Ideal for workdays or informal outings, requires reapplication every 4-5 hours, but it doesn’t hurt given the price of the 200ml bottle. Well done, Hugo Boss.

    First Hugo Boss fragrance, and coincidentally, I just read that the founder was a Nazi sympathizer. Interesting. This fragrance fills the shelves like another citrus-aromatic for spring/summer, and regarding that, I can only say it’s decent. I have no major complaints or compliments; it’s fresh and I feel more green apple. It doesn’t last long and has little personality. Correct price. Another ‘Meh.’ to the list.

  19. Smells amazing on clothes with full-on apple and mint, but on my skin it smells dirty. It’s weird because other fragrances don’t bother me, but this one doesn’t suit me. It lasts super well on paper for days, so always test before buying, even if it’s cheap.

  21. GonzzRomance

    Nice opening, rich aroma where apple and mint barely stand out. After 15 minutes, cilantro kicks in, followed by mint and a floral note, but it doesn’t last long. Maximum 4 hours on skin and a trail of half an hour to two hours at arm’s length (you need at least 9 sprays). Maybe it just doesn’t perform on my skin, but it’s the first one I bought and I have a soft spot for it. My opinion is subjective; it might last longer for others.

    Don’t buy it. It lasts less than a breath. They should take it off the shelves because its longevity is so bad. At best, it lasts 2 hours. Axe performs better than this perfume.

  23. It’s a men’s fragrance. At first, I didn’t smell mint, just sweet apple, then cilantro with mint made me think it would be gross, but it’s actually a rich combination. In the end, it smells like cashmere with that sweet green apple touch. For me, it’s versatile; the only thing I didn’t like is that it doesn’t have much sillage.

    Smells great, very masculine, denotes power and good taste. BUT it lasts 2 to a maximum of 4 hours depending on the weather. If it lasted longer, it would be excellent (they say it’s a dupe… maybe). But if you’re looking for compliments, apply it before entering a place and it’s a guaranteed hit.

    I agree it’s generic. It’s a pretty simple perfume. It smells good, but I see it for casual occasions and for guys aged 18 to 25. Gym-fresh, pleasant aroma. Nothing else to highlight in my opinion.

  26. Strong opening, good projection of notes, especially the mint and cashmere wood that make it good for evening outings or even daily work wear. Lasts quite a bit, about 6 hours, but if you can get a batch from before 2018 (when it was reformulated in my country), it will last much longer.

    This perfume is an enigma for me; I don’t know how noticeable it is. Unlike Jugo Red, I know this one and the aroma is very sober.

  28. Luis Jorge M.

    Fruity fragrance, apple-mint. I felt it was quite synthetic, with performance well below what I’d expect for its price. I bought it quite a few days ago when I wasn’t collecting fragrances yet. A few days later I found it at the bottom of my closet and decided to give it another chance. I wore it twice and well… I remembered why I had already forgotten I owned it. There are better options from that designer… Regards.
