As the clock strikes midnight on New Year’s Eve, a universal feeling of anticipation fills the air—hope for new beginnings, fresh starts, and the promise of exciting ventures. This year, that excitement is amplified for fragrance enthusiasts and fans of HUGO BOSS, as we return to the invigorating world of the iconic HUGO Man fragrance. The relaunch of this classic scent marks not just a new product on the shelf, but a revitalization of a symbol of individuality, creativity, and authenticity.
A Journey Through Time: The Legacy of HUGO Man
Originally introduced in 1995, HUGO Man fragrance quickly established itself as a staple in the world of perfumes, revered for its fresh and invigorating notes. With its blend of vibrant apples, aromatic herbs, and the warm undertones of woods and spices, HUGO Man became synonymous with a generation of free-spirited individuals who dared to challenge convention and define their own paths. Over the years, the fragrance has retained its core essence while evolving with the times.
Now, as we step into 2024, the relaunch of HUGO Man serves not only as a revival but as a celebration of its rich history, cultural impact, and the captivating spirit it embodies. The scent’s unmistakable ability to invigorate and empower continues to resonate with men around the world who value authenticity—a sentiment synonymous with the HUGO brand.
Behind the Lens: The Making of the HUGO Man Campaign
Having had the joy and privilege of shooting the new HUGO Man campaign, I can attest to the exhilaration that enveloped the set. The energy was palpable as we dug deep into the essence of masculinity, freedom, and self-expression that HUGO Man represents. From the first moments of the shoot, it was clear that this was more than just a fragrance; it was an invitation to embrace one’s individuality.
The campaign was designed to reflect the modern man—bold, assertive, and unapologetically authentic. We sought to capture the quintessential essence of HUGO Man through striking visuals that resonate with both long-time fans and new audiences. Our vibrant settings, diverse models, and dynamic poses reflected the multi-faceted nature of today’s man and his journey to self-discovery.
The Fragrance Experience: A Reinvigorated Formula
While the packaging of HUGO Man has received a sleek and modern update, the heart of the fragrance remains familiar yet reimagined. The top notes of invigorating green apple and refreshing citrus evoke a sense of vitality, making an immediate impact that is both energizing and uplifting. As the scent develops, the blend of herbal notes, including lavender and mint, infuses a hint of sophistication and freshness. Finally, the base notes of cedarwood and balsamic notes create a warm, earthy finish—a balance that retains its sensual allure.
This relaunched version not only pays homage to the original composition but also signifies the brand’s commitment to sustainability with eco-friendly packaging and responsible sourcing of ingredients. HUGO BOSS continues to lead the industry in harnessing modern practices while maintaining the rich heritage that fans have come to know and love.

The launch of the new HUGO Man fragrance extends beyond the scent itself; it serves as a powerful reminder to each of us to embrace our authenticity. In a world where societal expectations can often dictate our choices, the HUGO Man message challenges the status quo. It encourages individuals to explore their unique identities, pursue their passions, and be unafraid to break boundaries.
By relaunching HUGO Man, the brand aligns itself with a movement—one that champions independence, creativity, and the relentless pursuit of self-fulfillment. This narrative aligns with the spirit of a new year, making it the perfect time for reflection and intention-setting.
