What do reviewers say about Hugo and Red?
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
Red is one of those fragrances that makes an immediate impression or walks away entirely. That's not a flaw, it's the point. This is a scent built for presence.Red
