    What do reviewers say about Red and Hugo?

    Red either grabs you immediately or it doesn't. That's not a flaw, it's the point. This is a fragrance that knows what it is: bold, confident, and unapologetic about wanting to be noticed.Red
    Some fragrances want to own the room. This one is for the person who walks in and doesn't need anyone to look up. Moderate projection, intimate sillage.Hugo
