What do reviewers say about Black Suede Touch and Hugo Dark Blue?
Worn leather jacket energy. Comfortable from the first spray, staying close to the skin throughout the wear. The ginger and black pepper open bright and clean.Black Suede Touch
This fragrance arrived in 1999 with real intent. The cardamom-ginger opening set it apart from standard citrus masculines. The patchouli-tobacco drydown gives it substance that outlasts trends.Hugo Dark Blue
