Change is as necessary as the renewal of the leaves in spring. Vincent van Gogh
The old Hugo is well known and also somehow a youngtimer to express it in the world of bikes. On 1 January and parallel to the New Year's Concert, this new extreme is also a new beginning.
It's not completely new anymore, but it still stands prominently among the dealers in the upper part of the Boss shelf. Probably he will be replaced by the new Joop when Coty takes up the whole shelf for his place. Other topic and exciting when it's not only about fragrances but also about backgrounds, who makes which perfume etc.
This Hugo could also be a product of Azzaro or Mugler, because normally only Clarins with their Sillage bombs rumble like this. Somehow it reminds me of the strong Prada intense variations. So he's definitely someone you can show yourself with consciously. With this fragrance you can't subtly enter a room with other participants, here you have to be prepared for the meeting and the topics when you enter so extremely. You will be noticed and if nobody focuses on the scent, there will certainly be a question about the content of the meeting. So the Extreme is not a backbencher or a normal listener. The waltz of the New Year's Concert should be mastered if you wear fragrances with a strong sillage.

For me one of the best Coty products at the moment, here they have finally brought the quality into the bottle, which should also stand for a brand like Boss. Too many Boss fragrances have a good appearance and look attractive, but the air evaporated immediately after testing. There is no fragrance in Parfumo's Top 100 that is Boss or Coty in general. Here the commercial face of the Billigheimers shows the whole truth.

The strength and freshness of the fragrance is very pleasing and pleasant with this, nothing disturbs or stings in the nose. Quite successful and well reformulated into the present time, as the resemblance to Hugo is clear. Nevertheless better, more pleasant and also more long-lasting, which is always a strength for a fragrance, if it has not vanished already after twenty minutes in the eternal skin reasons. As an office fragrance which wants to set the tone, highly recommended. Also completely o.k. as a scent. For a date in a classical Viennese restaurant, here we are again at the concert...., not really suitable, because it seems to drown out the ingredients of the meat a little bit.

To the ingredients of the fragrance one can recognize the apple which is very spicy in the beginning very much. The bottle has the sweeter apple note, so you shouldn't equate it. Then comes the freshness of the cedar with a dance step which is exemplary and worth imitating. Therefore also my statement one of the best fragrances of Boss or Hugo.
An ever-goer with whom you can't do anything wrong, you want to avoid that absolutely on January 1st.

Clear purchase recommendation at a clear and fair price.
Compliments to the ladies and gentlemen of Coty, that's mainstream.

Still unmistakable
I was in a buying frenzy last week, after taking a long, long time to decide on Green Irish Tweed some time ago, two new fragrances were bought cheaply without much spring reading. Sander for men and Hugo Extreme. As a child of the 80s, the Ur-Hugo was also one of my first perfumes back then, it had a cool image and a unique fragrance. And to be honest, I don't notice a big difference compared to back then, maybe the Sillage is a bit more opulent and also the durability is with approx. 10-12h above average long. It remains a fresh, very distinctive fragrance even in extreme mode, but the difference to the "normal" Hugo is not exorbitant. Herbaceous green, some sweetness, but only minimal and, yes, also some synthetics, I'm still a bit ambivalent as far as the long-term evaluation is concerned, if that doesn't bother me. So far I like it very much, also this always and everywhere fragrance, nowadays not as widespread as in the 90s. I like! Also the bottle, modern classic!

Fooled by ratings
Blind bought it based on the good scent and longevity ratings, for a fresh fragrance, in a country with a long summer, thats what i need.
The opening is fresh and fruity you have the Boss DNA right away, its apple for sure but my nose gets mandarin too, i wish the opening lasts more because 1 or 2 hours i get the dry down, a woody base note with a sharp metallic synthetic note that i really hate , and the worst thing is after several days of use my nose catches this note rather quickly from all the beginning making this fragrance really unbearable .
its cheap longlasting yes but i dont like it

And the award for most known bottle in the 90's goes to...
90's fresh scents like this, Cool Water and Tommy had more of air of being grounded in the earth and masculine than the modern fresh which is all but androgynous and sometimes a little too sweet, like the best sellers of today such as Versace Man Eau Fraiche and Lucky Brand's Lucky You. I like the 90's batch not only for the nostalgia but also for the quality. Fresh accords balanced out with wood and fir in the base that give it masculinity and gravity. I think there are better choices out there for the same price point, sure, but this scent and bottle will always be iconic for people of a certain generation. I can also confirm that the longevity issues with the EDT are here corrected in the EDP. Unfortunately I can't say the same level of progress was made with the sillage, although this is definitely better as well.

le Roi est mort, vive le Roi. The Hugo is dead, long live the Hugo Extreme
As you can see from many reviews here, the Hugo (Extreme) of today lives from the nimbus of days gone by. It's the same for me.

As a teenager, I "craved" the original Hugo. This apple note, this freshness, paired with the corresponding potency of the fragrance, were simply outstanding for the mid-90s.

The fragrance suited me. Exaggerated hair styled with hair gel, out of the ordinary clothes. Often disco and electronic music at the weekend. Or having a drink with friends somewhere. The good Hugo accompanied me everywhere. That was me, that was freedom, that was my 90s.

At the beginning of the 2000s, I had other things to think about. Finishing school and what life would be like afterwards. During this time, I lost sight of the Hugo.

At some point in early 2021, I stumbled across today's Hugo and bought it for the nostalgic memories. Looking back, that was a mistake. I should have left those positive memories where they were, in the 90s.

Today's Hugo has nothing in common with that of the 90s. The potency is gone, the fragrance has been reformulated or, as I like to say, has fallen victim to the red pencil. The fragrance was dead to me.

As I wore fragrances but didn't bother with them, I didn't realize that there has been a Hugo Exteme since 2016.

At the beginning of 2023, I stumbled across the Extreme and for the first time I took a closer look at a fragrance. What I was able to find out gave me hope that the fragrance was very close to the original Hugo.

So I bought it and indeed, it brings back memories of the original Hugo. The intense apple scent, the long shelf life, the subtle spiciness - it has it all. Now you might think the story has a happy ending. Unfortunately not.

After some time, I had to realize that the fragrance no longer suits me, or me the fragrance. To be honest, that makes me a little wistful.

I have decided to preserve the memories of that time and the fragrance and not to buy any more Hugo.

So as not to end the story on such a gloomy note, I would like to give you a tip.

No matter when and in what situation you discover Hugo (Extreme) for yourself. It is an extraordinary fragrance that will stay with you. It is made to collect unique memories together with you. Have fun with it!

A nicely blended perfume. Good performance with a nice character. Lovely one from Boss. Oh....a lovely bottle with a pull off cap too.
