“Hugo Dark Blue” by Hugo Boss Eau de Toilette (Tester) is a citrus-spicy classic for men that mixes zesty citrus and fresh ginger with aromatic herbs over a warm vanilla–woody base. Launched in 1999. 

Ginger sparks alongside grapefruit, orange, lime and lemon. The heart turns aromatic with cypress, geranium, sage, cardamom and mahogany, before settling into vanilla, benzoin, cedar, vetiver and patchouli—versatile, confident and easy from office to evening.

Bottle Description: Deep-blue flacon inspired by a cocktail shaker with a metallic top—playful and instantly recognizable. (Tester packaging may vary.) 

Tester note: Testers are the same authentic fragrance; they typically arrive in a plain box and may ship without a cap. 

At Perfumes LA, we recommend it for men who want bright citrus energy with a smooth, slightly warm woody finish.
