Benetton Hot is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1997. Hot opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Mandarin, and Rosewood, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Iris, Lily Of The Valley, and Apricot, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Benetton's Hot carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

A divisive scent for sure. It's affordable, nostalgic, and for many, a dead ringer for Chanel Allure. Others find it thin, synthetic, or just plain unpleasant. Your mileage will definitely vary with this one.

About

Benetton Hot opens with a vibrant, zesty citrus burst of lemon and mandarin, quickly warmed by rosewood. The initial freshness mellows into a soft heart of powdery iris, sweet apricot, and delicate lily of the valley. The base settles into a comforting, warm embrace of creamy vanilla, rich sandalwood, and amber, all grounded by a hint of earthy oakmoss and musk. It's a journey from bright and fresh to cozy and inviting.
