What do reviewers say about Hugo XY and Winter 26?
Clean-cut with an herb garden hidden underneath. The mint-basil combination either pulls you in or makes you reach for something louder, which side of that are you?Hugo XY
This is a fragrance for people who find most aquatics boring. The bladderwrack and oakmoss give it mineral depth that feels genuinely tidal, not synthetic beach vibes. The seaweed doesn't disappear.Winter 26
