BEING CREATIVE WITH GIFT GIVING IS WHAT CHRISTMAS IS ABOUT FOR JARED LETO

What do you get for the man with a creative and experimental spirit? When deciding on the ideal present remember that the fragrance you give says a lot about him. New HUGO Just Different is for the man who takes inspiration from the world around him, he sees the unexpected and he knows that a receptive mind is the key to his creative success and enrichment. HUGO Just Different embodies this contemporary attitude. Combining a top note of frozen mint with a freesia, basil and coriander heart, both of which are underpinned by a rich woody dry-down, the fragrance brings together an innovative blend of notes to produce a surprising new scent that leaves you invigorated, curious and ready to see things differently.

Acclaimed actor turned singer, and the new face of HUGO Just Different Jared Leto, shares his favourite Christmas memories and top gift suggestions:

Jared Leto Q&A

Q: Tell us about your most memorable Christmas day?

Jared Leto: Christmas is a big holiday for us. My birthday is the day after and my mother's is a few days before so the whole week is a celebration. We like to invite over friends who have nowhere else to go that day and eat altogether. Every year is different but special in its own way.

Q: What smell most reminds you of Christmas?

Jared Leto: I've had wood stoves or fireplaces at a lot of the houses I've lived in over the years so burning logs always reminds me of Christmas. Especially living in California with the temperate weather, there aren't many excuses to gather around the fireplace but Christmas is one I take advantage of.

Q: What is your earliest memory of Christmas?

Jared Leto: My earliest memory of Christmas was when I was 2 or 3 years old. We were really poor but my mother, who has always been artistic, would always encourage us to make gifts and give them to each other.

Q: What is the best Christmas gift you have ever been given?

Jared Leto: I'm not a very materialistic person. I don't really go for toys or cars or gifts. The best presents are always simple.

Q: What is the best Christmas gift you have ever given to someone?

Jared Leto: I'm a thoughtful gift giver... but I can't give away my secrets... (Laughs)

Q: What is your TOP 3 Christmas gift recommendation for this year?

Jared Leto: “My top three gifts are:
1. HUGO Just Different, it has an unconventional yet surprising and fresh scent.
2. Finn, a novel by Jon Clinch. I am inspired by so many different sources; books being one of them.
3. My book on Haiti. During a recent trip there I took photos to document the ongoing work to rebuild it.”
