What do reviewers say about Hugo Dark Blue and Lacoste Live?
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
The licorice is the call. It's unexpected in a sport-fragrance context, that anise whisper threading through the green and aquatic. Makes this the one for someone who wants fresh but also wants to be.Lacoste Live
