    What do reviewers say about Hugo Man and Explorer?

    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
    It's not trying to be the most interesting fragrance in the room. That's exactly why it works. Explorer is the scent of someone who showed up without needing to prove anything.Explorer
