Hugo Red Hugo Boss for men

i have used the classic hugo boss and consider it to be a very unique masculine scent.besides that even boss bottled and dark blue have its own charm but lately the house of hugo boss are not doing a top notch job of coming up with unique scents......i feel they are just checking out what kind of scents are doing well currently and then coming up with their own versions of those scents........that has been very disappointing ......dont get me wrong the new scents are just fine but they are not the kind of groundbreaking smells i expect from this house .
tried out hugo red yesterday ....it starts out as sweet fruity grapefruit and i get a mild cherry tinge ....then the metallic tone hits you and this is where the real longevity of the scent lies .metallic tone with pepper and pineapple ....and some cinnamon ,im surprised most reviews do not mention the cinnamon note ..
the base note is cedar rhubarb and tonka bean..it sounds fancy but trust me its not ,the real strength of the scent is in the middle .
longevity is about 4 to 5 hrs[3 hrs on my skin]
projection is very good 7.5/10
uniqueness 6/10
potential as a serious scent that will last a decade......hmmm....no way ..this scent will be bought by ppl who do not know what classy means ....its a good fun peppery scent ...but hardly anyone would want to repeat the bottle .
this scent is like a one night stand in fragrances...fun and forgotten .
suggested for ppl who want something new just for the summer
overall 6.5/10

Nothing Special, just "another" perfume...

Unique, different. There is a note in there that's very different. It's sweet and sour, metalic as well, and of course citrusy. A nice summer fragrance. Not my favorite from Boss but it's good. Try it.

Well I expect somthing metallic and cold on my skin , specially with emphasis of creators on metallic note.
But this perfume is all about sweet notes of pineapple and rhubarb with some of metallic notes in background.
It Opens up with sweet and fresh note of garpefruit plus some metallic notes.
Then because of pineapple and rhubarb it becomes more sweeter and metallic notes are completely in background.
And finally we have warm and sweet blend of amber and tonka bean with previous fruity notes.
It's not a bad job but I expect more than this.
Projection and longevity are moderate.
Nice bottle.
خوب راستش من انتظار یه عطر یخ و فلزی رو داشتم مخصوصا با تاکید سازنده ها بر نت متالیک تو این عطر.
اما این عطر بیشتر رایحه ی شیرین و میوه ای اناناس وrhubarb
که نمیدونم دقیقا چه میوه ای رو میده.
اون کنارم نت متالیک هست اما شیرینی میوه ها خیلی اجازه خود نمایی بهش نمیدنم.
در اخر هم یه نت شیرین که ار عنبر و دانه تنکا به همراه نت های قبلی حاصل میشه داریم.
در مجموع کار بدی نبود.

After wearing this frag continously for couple of days, I wanna say this has really grown on me...in my previous comment I've said that it last 5-6 hours, well it turns out at this one lasts more.

I put this one around 8am in the morning...i dont have to re-apply till i take a shower late in the evening, that's around 8:30 in the evening. The same goes after that. When i wake up in the morning, i still get the hint of this one, thats around 7am.

Best of all, I've been asked what I've been wearing. First I thought that people are offended by this. But no, they love it! They say, it smells very unique and musculine. I asked them if they got any medicinal or synthetic smell. They disagreed and said that it smells sort of green with a hint of sweetness. Yes, these reviews were by females.

Projection is awesome!
Scent is unique!
Longetivity is off the charts. (on my skin)

Note: I live in Maldives. A tropical country located on the equator, with temperatures between 28-35 degrees all year around.

Went to try out a new frag and i came across this one..it was sweet on the paper, opens similarly like every boss frag...didnt recognize much change on the paper so i gave a spritz on the skin.

I was expecting a fruity type of frag, coz of the colour of the bottele. However, this turns from sweetness to sour greeny citrus type and then i get the metalic note as mentioned here. But yea, it's not like Azzaro type. This one remains sour greeny until it looses the sourness and rests as a beautiful green smell.

lasts long (about 5-6 hours on my skin) and it's strangely unique.

A pesar de no ser un wow para la marca de Hugo Boss, es un cambio radical a lo que ya venia haciendo, para mi parecer la mejor de la marca con toques frutales, y la botella, trataron de hacer algo nuevo al aplicarle el cambio de color con el tacto

Typical Lacoste/Hugo Boss "grapefruit" fragrance.
Not better nor worse. Definitely not Different.
Not something im gonna buy, start worshipping the Boss brand for or even test again.

Its not a smooth blend, the mentioned notes are easily detectable, boring but its ok I guess for a nonoffensive summer fragrance.
I dont know maybe the name tricks me but Im almost sure I can detect other peppery notes too in it like pimento or paprika not just those pink berries.

A quote from the company: A dynamic fragrance full of hot and cold tension daring you to be unique.

First of all I do not sense the "hot", neither the "unique". There is a whole lot of lemon an pineapple in there and you have to let it dry for a while to develop and for you to actually smell something.

It is very fresh, clean and screams "Summer". Smells a little bit to "green" for me, it would be nice to add a bit of a woody or powdery note to it, to make it more mature and sophisticated.

Al in all it is a nice, clean scent, good for work, good for summer. Not a thing to go crazy about but suits almost any guy.

Like others said,of course not a masterpiece but i think the new hugo is a step ahead. The smell flows in some phases between a metallic/fresh touch and a fruity/floral under tune and is a really nice contrast. Versatile, manly, maybe magnetic in some way & easy to wear.Sillage/longevity more than ok. I like this one !

This is not a bad fragrance but nor a master piece. It is a fresh fruity uplifting fragrance for me rather than a daring one. It is slightly sweet and fruity with metallic notes through out it that blend well. Moderate projection and last.

The rhubarb is not really evident here. Hugo Red is close to Lacoste Essential - a pleasant and soft fruity (melony type) fragrance without any sourness. It smells like an intense version of Lacoste Essential and Dolce & Gabbana The One Sport. I like Hugo Red more than Just Different, though still would prefer regular Hugo.

Well, it's pleasant and very fresh, the bottle is cool... Mostly sharper citrus with a hint of almost "bubble gummy" sweetness from the pineapple/tonka combo. Interestingly, I don't pick up the metallic accord at all here... I see the Azzaro NT comparison, especially the initial spray, but Red is much lighter and lacks the warm spicy qualities. All in all, it falls a bit flat honestly; longevity is poor and it's very synthetic in the drydown. P&G has already compromised the other Boss scents, so not totally surprised by their latest addition.

I really like this scent. Although not too experienced with aftershaves just yet, the smell pleases me. On the first spray, I didn't get the sweet impact that I expected, but rather a citrus/fruity note.
However, the metallic notes, in my opinion are crafted incredibly well with the fruit, giving the fragrance a sour, unique scent that isn't common in mainstream aftershaves.

Very nondescript amber fragrance attempting to make a shiny new gimmick with the bottle. Admittedly the idea is a good one, but I wish they had spent the money on the marketing on the fragrance instead.

Barely there, go to the shop pick up the bottle and go "ooh fancy". Then put it down and pick up something more interesting

In last years Hugo released just comercial fragrances, same situation with Red..Pitty

Oh I forgot... to my nose it's similar to Azzaro pour homme night time

سردی یک مرد به سختی فلزی صیقل خورد و براق بهقدرت این مرد جادوئی مسیر خود را با استفاده از میوه های ترش وشیرین که در مسیر باد میوزد شنوند ها را وادار میکند جذب قلبی وسوسه انگیز شود اما بداند تندی فلفل و سدر را در ذهن یاداور میشود تا شما بتوانید تلخی وخشن بودن این مرد را لذت بخشتر احساس شود.

I tried it today after a really long wait.
The bottle does change colours when holding it and the smell is actually good.
Just like his antecestors, it follows a fresh line, I think is more rather fresh than Spicy.
The Pineapple is definetly there as well as the grapefruit. I though it would be more sweet but is not a bad fragrance.

In my opinion: 7.5/10

yes, ive held the bottle in my hand, its red original and when u hold it, with the heat from your hands it goes into deeper red, so basically it will show your hand markings, not for long, maybe a minute or so, but this is just a selling point, the fragrance itself is ok in my opinion, sweet rhubarb scent

Kamikaze, do you know to what colour the bottle changes to?

this is a very sweet rhubarb fragrance, got a first look preview of this on a meeting few months ago, the bottle changes color from heat on your hands when you hold it, its the latest from hugo, not my cup of tea but nice idea for sweet scent lovers
