Welcome to Smell The Hugo

What is Smell The Hugo? Well, it's a blog, my friend. What's it about? It's a blog about ideas, trends, and random thoughts that might (or might not) relate to our work on Hugo fragrances. But wait -- anything that is about how humans think, feel, relate to each other, emote, desire, live, die, touch, and dream relates to this brand.

Everyone who works on the brand will have, hopefully, access to reading and posting on this blog.

Et on ne peut pas ecriver (blog-er) en Englais! (Was I close?)

Scentsory Design

Jenny Tillotson's Scentsory Design® is a film that explores the fusion of ‘Emotional Fashion’ with health and olfaction science, to create a new concept in perfumery. It is a multi-sensory journey describing the future of fashion and fragrance that goes beyond current microencapsulated techniques, through the inclusion of body sensors and microfluidics.

In March 2006 Tillotson was nominated for a FiFi Innovation award (the Oscars of the Fragrance Industry).
