Hugo Boss runs a fragrance line that many consider to be "safe" fragrances: Nothing too ground breaking, just easy to wear. Perhaps it's the kicking in of both basil and mint at the same time that ultimately distracts you from apple. In my opinion, you do not need many perfumes like this one, but if you want one, I would recommend Just Different!

Very nice, similar to the original but less of the green apple that stays at the top for over 6 hours on Hugo, this one I feel is smoother but projects a littles less cause of the lack of sharpness in the top note.The original had an almost piercing freshness that could become overbearing, like a gin and tonic meets mint meets fir resin type smell which was probably due to a clash between some of the notes(like the grapefruit and lavender with the other floral notes).

It smells fruity and loud and the woody note is really nice, good for spring/summer night time, a clubbing frag. It's not very fresh-like so that's probably why people are using it all year long, but for me it just doesn't fit winter/fall.It is characterised by the unexpected fusion of different ingredients, combining fresh coolness with a soft, underlying warmth. Strong mint and apple, almost overwhelmingly so (as another user noted) at first, but then it transitions into a green note and the basil and coriander really start to show.
