Givenchy's Hot Couture, released in 2000 and composed by Alberto Morillas and Jacques Cavallier Belletrud, is a woody fruity scent with a peppery heart. Wearers describe it as woody and citrus in equal measure, with about half also calling it spicy, sweet, floral or amber.
It opens with raspberry, orange and bergamot, a bright, slightly tart fruit cocktail. The heart is where it becomes distinctive: pepper adds a dry, warm spice, vetiver a smoky, grassy earthiness, and magnolia a creamy, lemony floral that keeps the middle from being too austere. The base is sandalwood, amber and musk, so the drydown is smooth, warm and gently sweet, with the raspberry still faintly present over the woods.
Most people find the longevity moderate to long lasting and the sillage moderate, with a quarter calling it strong. It is voted for autumn and winter and slightly more for night, which places it as a dressed, slightly spicy scent for cooler evenings rather than a light daytime fruity.
