Warning do not buy. Once you spray you don’t smell anything really , almost a water scent. I have Azzaro Wanted by night on my other arm and can clearly smell it
Depelamitit – :
Hugo Energise has always been very intriguing to me, as it has such a uniquely pleasant smell based on an extraordinarily creative mix of notes. The fragrance is a fairly sweet, spicy, woody, citrus and fruit scent, with pink pepper as the highlight. It is both fresh and transparent, insuring that the note-mix feels light, fairly sporty and properly balanced. The discreet green aspect of this composition is what gives it an unexpected “twist” which makes the scent all the more dynamic; but is also what may be a potential turn-off to some, based on the reviews here.
Notably, this fragrance is uplifting with a fresh, positive vibe to it! It is an ideal casual/everyday fragrance most suitable for those of youth to 30-ish. Appropriately wearable for all seasons but winter. Sillage and projection are fairly average, but longevity (as noted above) seems to vary by the individual (ie. my son gets 7-8 hrs., while the average noted here in reviews is more like 4-5 hrs.). Not recommended for a “blind buy”, but could easily be a “signature” scent. Something tells me that the unique and youthful qualities of Hugo Energise insure that it will be around for many years to come!
Aleschka21063 – :
This is a great sporty/fresh scent. I have a bottle from 2010 and it’s fantastic. Hopefully recent bottles are just as good. Longevity isn’t the greatest for me but whatever, I just use an atomizer.
pro100Student – :
I wonder why not so many love for this perfume. For me, this is superb. The opening might be sweet to some but it’s only for half an hour until the magical aromatic spicy accord emerge and keep lingering around. The longevity is constant 7 hours +. This is of the perfume that have the clear transition between the opening and the base note. Give it a try, safe for blind buy. Energise just suits the names.
don666 – :
I bought this fragrance ages ago, probably c.2004 and I never really knew what to think of it. At the time I was only 22 years old and what I remember about this fragrance is that I always got a slightly skunky-sour note from it…almost like fresh skunky marijuana! It had a very green/hash vibe to it, interlaced with fresh lemon and other citrus undertones and balanced with bright woods. I can’t say I was ever in love with it, but I always reminisce about this fragrance and wish I could smell it now that I am older and have a better olfactory sense. I’m surprised none of the reviews picked up the hash vibe from this as I always did.
maaliinkaa – :
Good smells in opening but longevity is so bad, just 1-3 hours!
7/10
mes.ltd – :
it doesn’t last longer than it used to be back in 2009 – 2010.. awful! *sigh
avaya – :
after latest reformulations longevity sucks 🙁
But I still like it, good office scent and reminds me a little bit of a YSL L’Homme in late drydown.
boss7777 – :
I’ve been on a fragrance journey for 2 years and tried a great deal of designer fragrances, especially the most hyped in the community.
This was my first purchase 3 years ago at Kohl’s and it stood out as the best raw smell at the store. Fast forward 3 years and I just tried this again after 6 months off (use for gym), I really enjoy this scent. It may actually be my favorite raw scent and I own a few heavy hitters. I’m actually trying to find out what the note is I’m enjoying so much after 15-20 minutes of spraying (anyone that’s good with notes, let me know!)
-9/10 scent
-6/10 projection
-5/10 silage
Light,Fresh, & like the name, energizing cheap fragrance.

Benim ilk parfümüm diyebilirim kendisiyle çok özel anılarım bulunmakta. O yüzden kimse benden nesnel olmayı beklemesin:)
İlk açılışta çok güzel bir biber kokusuyla mikslenmiş anans ve hafif turunçgil harmani kokunun energise kısmının hakkını veriyoR VE SİZİ RUH HALİ OLARAK UYANDIRIYOR VE HAREKETE HAZIR HALE GETİRİYOR.
Ortalara doğru yumuşak ve az tatlı hindistan cevizi kokusuna erkeksi tonu ağaçsı notalarla bezeyerek kapanışıda yine odunsu ve modern ama çokta maskülen olmayan şekilde kapatıyor.
Her zaman özleyeceğim anılarla dolu genç bir parfüm…
aleksei197 – :
I used to use this fragrance quite a bit back in the day. Reminds me of fresh rain or a wet type of day. More so a spring or fall type of sweet scent. Nothing groundbreaking but it’s a good one and pretty original in my opinion. Longevity could be longer but I still recommend it for a good price.
maga-90 – :
You know when you meet someone and don’t like them at first impression? As you get to know them they actually aren’t that bad. You might eventually call them a friend or at least have a mutual respect for them. That’s my relationship with this cologne. During the hot summer this fragrance is cloying and a citrusy mess. It’s now early November and things in the southern us are cooling down. It’s not cold but like in the low 80’s and 70’s. This fragrance is much different to my nose in this weather. I have grown to like this fragrance in cooler weather.
NastyaMalina – :
By far ONE OF THE best fragrances I’ve smelt. This one was recommended to me by my girlfriend. She’s in love with this fragrance.
This one is a simple Citrusy, Sweet-Spicy, mildly Peppery smelling fragrance; the notes being very balanced all throughout. To me it doesn’t smell “synthetic” at all.
It lasts really really long, and I can even smell it on my washed clothes! The sillage, however, is just about moderate, which works well for a fragrance that’s this distinctive. People sitting right next to you will get a hint of it and know that you’re smelling really good. This, however, may vary from person to person.
Summing up, it’s something that you should definitely try at least once.
Andlusha – :
This just didn’t work for me…i don’t know what notes on the mid that smells too powdery and weird sweetness…i don’t know how to explain but clearly.. isn’t fresh fragance
slavyni – :
I thought I would try it, since I was able to buy a 5 ml size decant of this on clearance. I don’t care for this fragrance at all. It doesn’t work well with my chemistry. This smells like old lemons or synthetic lemons on my skin. Also, it almost smells like some lemon cleaning products. Not a winner for me in this league of fragrances.
InfandytefTeT – :
A somewhat weird scent on me. Lemony/peppery. Almost, but not quite, sour. Almost, but not quite, a rancid note. I don’t think this one works with my skin chemistry at all.
When offered the top of my hand where I placed it, my wife simply shook her head “no” after a sniff.
Syys – :
young and sport scent. daytime spring wear
tashix – :
Not bad! This one reminds me of Curve. Good lasting power as well.
droplaptelpad – :
My brother wears this, I mostly like it as it’s light and I love pink pepper but there is one element I detect that I don’t like…aha reading this it’s sandalwood ! Ah well .
spavlov – :
Similar to dior homme sport 2008 and give a lil bit sweet on top notes..
pashka-pol – :
I got this when it was on sale – I must admit for the money I paid, I don’t really regret it. but it#s not much. It’s somehow nice, but it’s by far nothing out of the ordinary.
saibir22rus – :
Finaly i bought this one yesterday!
This one is very long lasting and the good thing about it is that you can smel it on yourself. Some perufmes you spray and you cannot smel it but this one makes you know that you stil smeling good 😉
My girlfriend realy enjoyed it and she prefers it then YSL Rive Gauche that i have been using.
It will you make fell good, smel good and have more confidence. The smel is just unic, it will not remind you of nothing else you have smeled.
мандала – :
This one smells young, fresh and sweet…it’s very uplifting…a happy and fun scent! Very unique, not generic at all…one of the best from the Hugo house…also lasts some good 10 hours!!
High-schoolers, I’m trying to help you guys out here…grab this one…it could become your signature scent…
Great juice!
дыня1997 – :
This is a great fragrance! To describe it I would use the words ‘sharp’, ‘fresh’, and ‘character’. What amazed me the most by it was its unique ability to wake me up in the morning and keep me in a good up beat mood all day – have yet to find another which has that result.
antoxa1911 – :
Hi. Yes it is a very natural, clean smelling cologne,plus unique. The opening is bright and energising like the name implies. It smooths over fast to a creamy coco, spicy fruity, delight. Im not sure how to rate sillage, but I can smell it on myself in excess of 12 hrs. One of my favorites, and you can wear it all the time in my opinion.
Frig – :
absolutely loved this in high school. not that much now. it’s a fresh sweet citrus to me that is better in cooler days than your hot summer ones. contradictory to what the name implies to me, this doesn’t seem sporty. it is a great casual, day out scent. perfect when you just want to hang out with your friends and have fun. date scent? it can be. but it’s not that sensual though , so just give your girl a great time outside the sheets with this. definitely signature scent worthy.
verdict:
energizing? not really.
smells good? it’s freaking great!!
one word? FUN.
Serg_S67 – :
Boss Energize
Love at first sniff! Felt in love with this juice back in mid 2000’s when it first came out & been using it ever since. It’s my favorite casual office scent along with Versace Pour Homme.
Simple, modern, fresh & energizing. Longevity is about 5-6 hours with great projection.
Energize and Bottled are best of Boss outings IMO
anceladus – :
Honestly, my first experience with a ‘Woody Aromatic’ and I like it. Previous comments about sillage are correct, max is about 2 feet in the first 90 minutes to 2 hours. After that, its 12 inches and closer. Longevity is good, lasts about 5hrs on me before it becomes a skin scent. The wife LOVES it though, so being skin only is fine.
I will say, it does actually perk me up. The mornings I put it on before work, I find myself in a toe tapping mood, with almost an annoying cheerfullness. Not sure why, other frags in my rotation don’t seem to have that effect; at least to the same degree.
I won’t comment on the notes as I don’t feel qualified. I think it smells good, and only gets better on the drydown. I can see how the opening might be somewhat sweet to some, especially if you are used to a more woody, spicy, musky frag.
All in all, I would rate it as a 3 of 7. As in, 3 out of 7 days of the week I would reach for this in the morning.
Suited for: Everyday/Office/School/Casual/Errands
Not the best choice for: Clubbing/Business Dinner/First Date/Job Interview (25+)
Definitely Not For: Weddings/Funerals/Rescuing Hostages
greenman04 – :
Checked this out in one of the shops around, pretty darn good, very long lasting, high sillage, hey if it survives on me in a humid country, with a lot sweat, and heavy smoking then im definately gonna buy this. plus the scent is not one that is used by most.
sain – :
this is the kind of scent i’m looking for
absolutely LIKE IT..Best of the Best!
nike2012 – :
I am not into these sporty weak type colognes, it does smell ok, but not worth its price.
logvinov1980 – :
Nice, fresh peppery fragrance. I think this is a very safe spicy scent that will not really offend anybody. Give it a try!
novotec – :
smells so good, fresh scent, perfect for summer, work and casual outings, young fragrance.
algottereva – :
This has fresh aroma, with warm sensation and soft spicy scent. Feel sweet manly when wear it. Great at morning till afternoon.
The bottle is so ergonomic in hand, but as we look, it’s slightly simple shape and clear.
boifrend – :
really great!! I love but its silagge is indeed weak. when I used to wear it people hardly ever noticed it…
8 out of 10
aad – :
@krayolakolorz: Me too! I picked it out for him and thought it always smelled soooo good on him!
azon555 – :
A harsh, dated, common place frag which is a woody spicy-citrus masculine scent…
I applied 6 heavy sprays
0 – 1.5 hours. 1.25 foot projection. Strong frag, which is like a 90’s classic – bitter, spicy, like Guy Laroche Horizon EDT. There is no clear lemon or any other fruit; its just a mix of sharp harshness and pepper and it’s old fashioned in a modern bottle. This is like so many other fragrances.
1.5 hours – 3.5 hours – 6 inch projection.
3.5 hours – 5 hours – 1.5 inch projection. Smokey leather on the skin
5 hours – 7 hours- Close to skin
Not for me
deymos1 – :
I looooved this cologne on one of my ex boyfriends.
lre959Negeltzex – :
I’m sad from this parfume. The longevity on skin is very poor, on clothes “only” poor. After some hours it’s gone at all. The smell is great on the “testing paper”, but something strange, absolutely uknown on my skin. If I pour it to myself, I can “feel” it, but it’s globally just common. Unidentifiable fresh and a little bit sweet, but it’s far away from the YSL’s sweetness (for example).
zorkum – :
when i fisrt smell this perfume i was 17 years old and i wished my future boyfriend smelled like this. now i’m 22 and my boyfriend’s signature perfume is this <3
ndm001 – :
My signature fragrance in high school, before my obsession with fragrances. I still remember all the compliments i had when i hugged the girls. This fragrance lasted forever on clothes not on skin. Really recommended for the younger ages. I loved going back to it just to reminisce.
Tohaaa83 – :
straight to the point..
fragarance is average.. far too common in my country…
there are so many new launches in 2012..
go for them.. not worth if paid more than 30$ for 2.5oz.
b_edison – :
Great smell but POOR longeviti..maximum hours that i can get from this perfume is 3 or 4..
viva_la_alya – :
Best men’s fragrance ever!!! I once bought this for a former lover and haven’t been able to find a fragrance that smells better than this one for a men. Too bad I can’t wear it for myself. I’m not the girl that wears a mens fragrance. Too bad :'( !
Игорь-KOLA – :
it is a generic smell. i really disliked it, it made me nauseous. over powering, and sweet. too sweet. not for me
g261 – :
Simple, mood booster, perfect for hot weather, school or office wearing. But not for special occasion. Sejuk dan segar.
kingsvs – :
On me this cologne lasts well into 12-15 hours. It’s a great smell but quite similar to others on the market. Was my signature for at least 2 months when it first came out
HeigneeAminge – :
Pink pepper and citrus are the first notes to emerge, and they last well.
The dry down has a sweet note. A very likable scent. perfect for relaxed sunny days. One of my favourite Boss fragrances.
gamer439 – :
Fresh and sweet scent that can be a little sharp and emit some smokey heat because of the spices. It’s hard not to like this scent, but some may see it as generic. A good generic that is. It’s very wearable all year round too. Blind purchase is acceptable, and easy as a gift to someone.
podkolsinalex – :
Superb! simply world class
kasiamala – :
I find it rare that is scent isn’t considered one of the best if not the best by Hugo Boss. The fresh spicy, woody, citrus like scent is very different from the usual and it has become one of my favorites. My only negative comment of it is that though it lasts for a pretty good time, it wont surpass 4+ hours…
eorshazrtkjh – :
Its Very very decent fragrance.Good to wear in day as well as in night.U will not easily found better fragrance like this.U can also try Gucci by Gucci
ifl993Diobtetty – :
Fresh and clean. Remember those orange tablets with vitamin C. Pleasant for the summer, the same in the beginning notes of Polo Sport.

Uniqueness: 7/10
Versatility: 4/10
OVERALL: 26/50
nizelnik – :
Fresh and clean, that’s how I describe this fragance, lemon, pineapple and mint play the essential roll, they are the responsible to make the energise, the silage is low, longevity about 4 hours on me, this is the kind of fragance that you need to use it in hot weather to feel and smell what it does, very recommendable.
zmeylove67 – :
This one gave me allergic reaction to my nose and my skin. I can’t use this although I like the scent
456 – :
I love this scent it smells quite energetic and a bit musky.It’s perfect for men.
I think this fragrance goes well in the night.
midashko – :
All I can say is this is definitely signature worthy
SkyFire – :
I think this should only be sprayed once or twice. It’s really cloying if you spray more than that. I realized this when my friends complained about the smell being too cloying and strong to an extent that they asked me if I had a shower with it.
dvv75 – :
I always wondered where it was I had smelt Davidoff Adventure before? I couldn’t figure it out for the life of me. Now I know. I had a mate who collected Hugo Boss fragrances. He had 3 of the original In Motions, etc etc, and he had this.
Adventure has become one of my fragrances, so naturally inlike Energise. That being said, though, I do prefer Adventure. It just hits the right chords with me.
Energise has that energizing feel that it boats, but is slightly lacking a longevity.
Although I remember my friend wearin his, and can remember how well it Projected itself.
The citrus note in Energize are very faint, so they’re not dominating at all. Fresh.
loadlikekeerm – :
what i like: long lasting smell, works best with body heat
what i don’t like: smells synthetic
my score 7/10
Fintop – :
i used it and i cant conclude why we must buy this perfume.,it just clear and fresh and nothing special,
the longevity is not good to, in my skin it just hold 2 hours and disappear.,
i prefer another hugo fragrance
my score : 4/10
abobireri – :
I prefer this to Hugo. Not a groundbreaking frag, but is a very versatile scent.
ujh772intitytek – :
Loved it! Smelled fresh (only wish they had one for women)
roriloi – :
i found it energetic and uplifting but somehow too synthetiv and lacks charater 🙁
OLEG74D – :
This is actually is good aside from the top notes .. after which is has a nice smell to it that last quite some time . recommended for light use
xjoufffiereer – :
This one is so great. The only downside is it’s so popular at my place.
anticor – :
It makes me feel so cool.
Levsha1 – :
Well, this seems to be a ” love or hate” fragance. To me is an unique fragance on the market, the fruity-leather-coconut base make it really comfortable, sexy and very versatile; is fresh but at the same time very warm and manly.
marsel260585 – :
Sharp opening, great drydown, very long lasting.
tolya4 – :
I always say that Hugo Boss colognes lack character/personality but this one is definitely the exception. The top notes I hate, it smells way too musky, like AXE or something cheap. But as it dryes, it develops a certain fruity/citrusy/spicy thing that I like and reminds me very much of Pi Neo, just lighter and sharper. The name it´s very well focused, it´s energizing, it has a spirit, something that makes you wanna run and scream. Recommended for 17-35 year old guys.
fail200120 – :
It’s a mossy wood all the way! This fragrance is so nice to breath, and smells almost better on clothes than it does on skin. It suits calm and collected or laid back boys who also think that the dominant purpose of their presence in the world is to take part in FUN! It’s such a good smell to have people recognize you by and the closer they are, the better they get to inhale the seductive elements of your scent.
This is an incredibly lasting fragrance that just whispers when you get close to the wearer. It’s delicious for any occasion and is something homely and comforting when it is the signature scent of the person you are intimate with. I would describe it as leafy and crisp but warm and spicey, fresh and clean but woody and cuddly. It’s so well balanced it’s virtually sexy-man-spirit in a bottle.
Definitely Energising.
aicis333 – :
It has a clear personality, which makes it a very good perfume.
