This one closely resembles Hugo Reversed in the opening which is a type of minty green bitter orange that is very crisp, fresh and uplifting. I don't get any synthetic type notes but a rather very natural and genuinely refreshing ‘ice cool’ experience. The mint remains right through to the earthy/woody dry down. This is a mass appealing fragrance and blind buy worthy.

I've owned many Hugo Boss fragrances over the years just because majority of the releases from this house are safe buys. I felt the need to review this one mainly due to the refreshingly different surprise I got when I smelt it. I can almost taste the opening burst of refreshing citrus. It reminds me of a fizzy orange/lemon soda (in a good way of course). The dry down is a pleasant woody note which also retains the citric freshness as well. The downside is longevity and projection but I certainly don't mind having my bottle on hand all day.
