"The grapefruit was actually what I wanted," said Hugo...
... namely Hugo Boss. That's almost embarrassing: Boss, Gucci, and all those (now turned) mainstreamers have to be shown by a Spaniard from the year 2000 how to do what was written in their strategy papers, namely to create a mass-compatible fragrance that starts with a citrusy opening and then (adapted to the spirit of the times) draws on classic elements in the following.
So confidently and (somewhat) naturally as "Verino pour Homme," hardly any of the big names have managed it. Yes, the scent is not a blockbuster (especially not for an old-schooler like me), but ultimately it is really well and cleanly made within its possibilities and ambitions. Freshness without being overwhelming, and it has enough longevity as well.
It's also nice that it shows a development. The stated Earl Grey and white moss in the heart and base is truly not a hallucination of the marketing department, but indeed perceptible (even if I have experienced it as significantly more natural),
So, let me read the comment again... Well, I suppose I have to relativize the "somewhat natural" and transform it into "not overly synthetic." Be that as it may, this fragrance delivers what it promises and claims, and is "more natural" than its contemporaries (and successors) from the houses of Boss, Davidoff, Lacoste, etc.
Yes, it is somewhat mainstream, but at least it is made properly and without brand snobbery. Nobody has to have it, but it doesn't hurt at all.
