What do reviewers say about Hugo and Bad Boy?
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
Bad Boy earns its name through restraint. The pepper doesn't stab, the cedar doesn't dominate, the cocoa doesn't cloy. This is calculated confidence, not performance.Bad Boy
