HAGS Summoning — character and mood
HAGS Summoning is a unisex parfum, or extrait, created for those who appreciate expressive fougère and aromatic compositions.
This release comes from the Greek brand HAGS, which specializes in highly concentrated men's fragrances but, in this case, offers a scent open to every gender.
The name Summoning — “invocation” — perfectly conveys the character of the composition: the fragrance seems to gather cool air, green facets and deep resinous-woody nuances around itself.
It does not strive to remain unnoticed; on the contrary, its character is built on the contrast between a fresh opening, a spicy-green heart and a rich base.
The creator and the brand’s style
The fragrance was created by Dimitrios Charokopos, the brand’s founder and creative director.
His approach is reflected in the desire to combine clean, modern freshness with a dense, almost ritualistic depth, which is why Summoning smells energetic, composed and atmospheric at the same time.
For HAGS, this perfume is particularly representative: it reflects the brand’s signature interest in extraits and rich masculine compositions, while its unisex positioning allows it to move easily beyond the boundaries of a traditional fragrance wardrobe.
This is a fragrance with a distinct personality that will especially appeal to admirers of fougère formulas with an unusual resinous finish.
How it develops on the skin
In the first minutes, Summoning smells cool, sparkling and slightly spicy.
Citrusy freshness, a mint accent and the sharpness of ginger create a sensation of invigorating air, while an aldehydic nuance adds cleanliness and a light metallic sheen to the opening.
As it develops, the fresh impulse becomes softer and greener.
Fruity nuances of apple and pineapple lend juiciness to the composition, geranium adds a dry floral facet, while sage and violet leaf create its distinctive aromatic character.
In the base, the perfume becomes darker and warmer: woody, balsamic, incense, musky and ambery accords leave a long-lasting, expressive impression.
Longevity, sillage and wearability
HAGS Summoning is considered to have very strong sillage, so the fragrance is noticeable from the first minutes and can accompany its wearer for a long time.
The extrait unfolds especially impressively in cool weather, although its fresh top notes also make it suitable for transitional seasons.
It is a choice for an evening out, a walk, a special occasion or any situation when you want to emphasize confidence and an individual sense of taste.
The exact dosage for application to skin and clothing is not specified; given the high concentration and intense sillage, it is sensible to start with a minimal amount and add more gradually if needed.
Who will enjoy Summoning
Despite its fougère structure, Summoning is not limited to classic freshness.
It combines citrus energy, green coolness, fruity juiciness and a deep resinous-woody accord, so the fragrance may appeal to both women and men who prefer rich, characterful compositions.
If you enjoy fresh fougère fragrances but want greater density and drama, Yves Saint Laurent Y Pour Homme is worth considering as one possible starting point for comparison.
However, Summoning stands out with its more resinous base and noticeably more powerful presence.
