In 2008, Expand introduced Hug★Me — a fragrance that's hard to forget.
Japan is where this fragrance comes from — and it shows. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
Sometimes the best decision of the day is a press of the atomiser. The official website of Expand — https://aegrooming.com.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The scent of Hug★Me unfolds as a layered story, where accents shift smoothly and sequentially. The signature of Expand comes through from the opening to the final trail. Every decision feels deliberate, and the structure feels complete all the way through.
The internal accord map rests on these accords: Citrus, Floral, Fruit and Musc with each one in a clear role. Background accords such as Wood expand the olfactory volume in the background. The gender direction is feminine, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
At the opening of the pyramid you detect sweet-fresh fruity first notes: Pear, Raspberry, Strawberry and Tangerine.
In the middle phase you detect Freesia, Jasmine, Osmanthus, Passion fruit and ylang-ylang carrying a opulent floral direction. In the base the composition is fixed through Sandalwood and musk, shaping a deep woody trail.
At olfactory-group level the structure relies on Fruit, Citrus, Floral and Whiteflower. The palette also extends to Wood and Musk.
In summary Hug★Me reads as a cohesive composition — the start forms character, the central phase adds depth, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the fragrances best understood on skin.
