Hugh Parsons by Hugh Parsons Cologne. Traditional style gets a modern and energetic twist in Hugh Parsons, a distinctive men's fragrance that was created in 1998 by the fragrance design house of Hugh Parsons. Designed for daytime wear, this contemporary cologne is the perfect way to make a bold statement in an informal setting. Top notes of lemon and mandarin orange burst to life to open the scent, drying down smoothly into notes of currant buds and fresh green leaves. Invigorating and elegant notes of angelica leave a thrilling feeling in the air as you go by.
