Hug Me Bruno Perrucci 2025

I do not like this at all, it’s very orangey chocolate. That being said, I should have expected that seeing as those are like the main top notes. The orange isn’t strong enough to give it a freshness, and the chocolate/hot chocolate notes smell waxy and cheap. I also smell something that smells like an Earthbound Trading co. circa 2016?

I went out of my comfort zone with this fragrance and I’m glad I got a 1 mL but I probably won’t try this again.

Being able to smell this before opening the lid should have been the first red for me. As soon as I hit a spritz to the blotter this fragrance filled every corner of my room. Insane projection, but brutally synthetic and sickly sweet.

Unfortunately, I can’t speak on it’s performance on skin because this had to be scrubbed from my finger tips, but after smelling how it clung to my room, I’d say its longevity is outstanding and would last the day.

If you are thinking this a blind buy I would seriously reconsider. I genuinely cannot see how anyone could like it or justify the price. In a nutshell: too powerful, too syrupy and heavy on the liquor.

To be fair, I never liked candied orange with chocolate and I missed that note before testing. Nonetheless- headache inducing.

Hug Me is somehow a totally exciting and interesting scent. It brings these great chocolate vibes with orange.
It reminds me a bit of the soft cakes I used to enjoy in my youth.

Right from the start, I get this strong, chocolaty impression with a hint of fruity orange. You could definitely say there's cocoa in there too.
The scent also has a nutty quality, and someone in my circle mentioned smelling "coffee."
I can't agree with that.

Over time, it becomes a bit nuttier.
This orange touch noticeably diminishes, but the chocolaty aspect remains. However, it really becomes more of a cocoa type.
Additionally, a pleasant vanilla note comes into play.

The longevity on my skin is about nine hours.
The sillage is also really good.
Moreover, the scent is unisex wearable.
