Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Hot Couture EDP
Divisive, unique, and boldly unconventional, Givenchy Hot Couture swings between adored signature scent and an 'ashtray' hate-buy. It promises juicy raspberry with an edgy smoke-and-spice kick, perfect for those who like their sweetness with a hint of rebellion.

Our Verdict - Crème de Cuir EDP
BDK Crème de Cuir is a wildly divisive scent, adored by some for its unique take on leather and dismissed by others as too boring or even unpleasant. It's an understated, creamy blend that defies expectations, proving you either get it or you don't. Love it or hate it, it's certainly not a crowd-pleaser.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual

Hot Couture's strong raspberry and spicy accords, and often reported excellent longevity and sillage, make it a bit much for the office. However, its seductive and playful nature is ideal for dates and casual outings, though less suited for formal events or sport due to its opulence.
