Hugo Dark Blue

Mostly bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel. Underneath that, dry and warm, like cedar shavings or the inside of a wooden drawer.

It opens on ginger, grapefruit and orange, moves through cypress, mahogany and cardamom, and settles on vanilla, cedar and benzoin.

• ginger: sharp and fresh with a peppery bite, closer to the raw root than to gingerbread
• grapefruit: bitter-fresh citrus, more tart and less sweet than orange

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
