Picked this one off a drug store. I find this a huge issue that the fragrance as is, smells amazing but fails to deliver on my skin! It is a lovely fragrance and I particularly love the rare whiff of tea that i get off of this. I would recommend it for sure!

My first real perfume (not this one, the older version, the one from 1997). It reminds me of my youth when I was carefree and happy about everything. I know it is not a wow kind of perfume but I love it. I love the sensation it brings when I smell it, like I am a teen again like I could fly and touch the sky. Smell has a huge impact on our memories, so this perfume brings back my dear memories and the happiness of the young spirit. It is a common perfume with fruits and flowers, nothing ravishing but pretty. In the summer I wear it a lot because summer is a happy season and I need a happy mood. No matter how many perfumes I owned or smelled, this one will always stay close to me. It has a special place in my heart like the first kiss. You can try it as a scent for summer.

at first it smells like like an air freshener, but in a couple of minutes its stars to open and its much nicer but still I would not buy a bottle.
Vampire – :
i find this a childish perfume and not for mature women
it’s too mainstream
smells cheap
i really dislike it
Haronz – :
It’s a nice, sporty and elegant perfume.
The downside: doesn’t last for long

Add something old like childhood memory on fancy perfume (in 1997 Hugo Boss was something unbeatable fancy), something new and a little bit of Hugo’s easy to wear fragrance, and you’ll get this. I must admit that i love the fact that it still smells like then, but they added more longevity. For me it is a scent for young business woman with attitude.
BASILE – :
Totally synthetic smell. Not bad, but too artificial. Too generic.
Very loud in a ” I am wearing perfume!!!” way. Like in my childhood in Hungary there weren’t a wide choice of fragrances and if you had the possibility ,you grabed what you could. And doused yourself in it. “Hey, it’s a perfume, I have on !!!!”No matter your personality, this synthetic, youthfull water will wear you!

I have yet to sample this. I remember the 1997 version and I wonder how this compares. If it’s anything like the original, then it may be nice, but if it’s anything like how I’ve evolved as a person since 1997, then I am sure it’s nothing like the original,LOL. It’s great to reminisce, but evolving is the truth to everlasting life!
glittebug – :
I have it. Too citrusy for me, and having a tad chemical note which reminds me of D&G’s Light Blue, and it hits my liver.
For swap. PM me.

I tested this today because it was elusive, nobody had a tester or they had it empty. Anyway, I sprayed it twice on my wrist and at first was like “woah, this is strong!” the boyfriend was standing like a meter away from me and I was kinda knealing (cause the bottle was at the bottom of a counter) when I sprayed it and he immediatly could smell it. It smelled a lot of alcohol. After a few minutes it settled and, it might be me, but the 3 fragrances by Hugo I have tried, smell kinda masculine in a way. Maybe the men and woman fragrances share a lot of notes? or maybe is one note on both? I’m not sure and again, it might only be me. It is okay, it does not bother me. At first it is citrucy and very fresh and clean. Then it fades to something more powdery and floral, but green is not something that comes to mind with this. It does last a while, but very close to the skin. I would not buy it because of that. But it is a nice scent.

I recently recieved this in a sampler pack, the ones that you have a certificate to redeem the full size bottle of whichever fragrance you prefer. So while I really enjoy this scent, it’s a huge waste of money. To buy a 50ml bottle where I am located is 90 dollars!!!! Yes 90 dollars, tell me that’s not outrageous! The longevity on this is beyond poor, for me it’s actually all but home immediately after spraying. It’s too bad because it is a beautiful scent!

Tried this the other day and i think its absolutely fantastic.
Much more different than the original, fresh edt, which when i recall was a little unisex on me.
This is fruitier and softer, and quite long lasting, although sillage stays close to the skin.
I tried it during the week and got a sample, i will definitely be getting this, soon hopefully.
IMO i actually feel this is rather unique, there is something very special about it if i compare it to a few other fruity greens, which i think could perhaps be due to the grass and tea notes.
I’d say, this fragrance would be ideal for a night club, island beach holiday, and one i would wear during the day all year round.
Love love love love love it.

They have discontinued the 1997 version and re released, re imaged and re formulated it and came up with this. Needless to say I much prefer the previous version. This is a little citrusy, a little fruity and a little woody. Nothing special at all. I saddens me that all the superior 1990s fragrances are disappearing so we cannot smell them and remember the times we were young and carefree.
snonnagex – :
I agree with a previous reviewer that this smells similar to CH 212, which is one of my favourite perfumes. However, to my nose Hugo Woman is more on the fruity side whereas 212 is more floral. Personally I prefer 212 but Hugo Woman is very nice. Can’t comment on the lasting power or sillage unfortunately as I only tested it on a card. I can still remember the original version from the 1990s, which I liked, but think I actually prefer this new one. This version is younger and more modern.
rossihin – :
Such a beautiful fragrance but it’s gone in two hours maximum , such a pity :/ I won’t get it
baronast – :
tested this already. fell in love with one initial spray on the paper, so I decided to give it a try on my wrist. still smelt very lovely, and I was kinda hooked to buy it – the SA insisted, btw. saying it’s going to last all day. I said no, and continued shopping after telling him I was going to see if the fragrance lasted because my skin loves to eat everything on it. I didn’t regret leaving the counter with empty hands, though at first I did. after 3 hours it smelt EXACTLY like CH 212 woman on my skin. soft, powdery white floral scent with weaker projection and poorer longevity. I don’t know if it really smells like 212, or it’s just my skin and body chemistry..
indeed it smells lovely, but very generic. nothing too special. i prefer the hated-by-brother-and-BF CH 212 tho.

Mmm, scent of a maturing young woman! This is fun, yet restrained enough to not go crazy with the fruity floral. It makes me feel confident and sweet and is a great gift for a young woman in her early twenties. Good for work or for drinks with friends, love it, could be a signature.
bfunc – :
Nice, but too ordinary for my taste. Green and citrusy, a little sweet, a little spicy.
Unfortunately I don’t know how boysenberry smells.
Quite fresh and natural, I would say neutral and modest.
I guess I wouldn’t be too excited about it.
Nice, and that’s it.

I agree with Germany that Boss Woman is real pleasant, it smells very nice, and although the vibe is fresh, fruity, and youthful, it is also more interesting than most fruity florals out there…the drydown becomes more quiet, and warmer…it has a little something that makes you want to wear it!!
It is young but I feel it could be worn easily by lots, like it is to my nose more interesting than Versace Bright Crystal Absolu, although the two are similar, the Boss adds a little touch of a nicely constructed perfume..
Клещь – :
I just tested this and it’s quite nice , very fruity ,very sweet and quite yummy !
A young fragrance in my opinion and very happy!
I love plums and I adore iris and ceder as well as amber and sandalwood. ,,,and that’s maybe why it speaks to me. For its price a nice scent that I think will do rather well.
It’s very sparky fruity in its opening. A little addictive almost like a burst of some summer punch by the poolside. Then it becomes more warm and sweet when it dries down less sparkly and less tart more rounded. I like it , I think really young girls will go crazy over it.
I like it for days when I just want to smell like FUN! 😉
The orig was more aquatic and fresh which I didn’t really like as much.

Already smelled it (quickly) at the airport. As far as I can remember it does smell like the 1997 version of this fragrance. I’ve gone through a whole bottle of that one at the time. I think this one is a bit fresher and less fruity sweet than the old version. But I probably have to wear it on skin to really be sure.
