Fragrance

Hugo Dark Blue Original (Eau de Toilette) is a timeless oriental-spicy men's fragrance from Hugo Boss, launched in 1999 and created by perfumers Alain Astori and Beatrice Piquet. It captures the essence of a confident, adventurous man ready for a night out—playful yet sophisticated, evoking the thrill of urban evenings and cocktail vibes.

The iconic bottle, shaped like a sleek **cocktail shaker** in deep midnight blue glass with a metallic silver cap, perfectly reflects its fun, modern spirit while hinting at the "darker side" of the Hugo line.

The scent opens with a vibrant, refreshing burst of citrus—lemon, lime, grapefruit, orange—energized by spicy ginger for an invigorating, zesty kick that feels like a cool drink on ice. The heart unfolds into aromatic spiciness with cardamom, geranium, sage, cypress, and mahogany, adding depth and a herbal-woody edge. It settles into a warm, sensual base of vanilla, cedar, benzoin, vetiver, and patchouli, delivering a creamy, balsamic trail that's comforting and subtly sweet—often reminiscent of spiced cola or ginger beer.

Versatile for day or evening, especially in cooler seasons, Hugo Dark Blue is praised for its youthful charm, compliment-getting appeal, and excellent value, making it a classic blue fragrance that still feels fresh and seductive today.
