What do reviewers say about Escape for Men and Hugo Man?
If you want a fragrance that smells like a summer afternoon without trying too hard, this is it. The woody drydown keeps things from becoming cloying or overly sweet.Escape for Men
This is a workhorse fragrance. The Green Apple and Cedar combo is distinctive without being challenging, and the drydown stays close to the skin in a way that won't dominate an office.Hugo Man
