What do reviewers say about Hugo Dark Blue and Intensity?
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
Kenneth Cole named this Intensity, so yes, there's expectation of power. But the real story is restraint, warm spice that wraps close, tobacco that never shouts.Intensity
