Hot

Benetton Hot is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1997. The fragrance opens with Mandarin, Rosewood, Bergamot, and Lemon, settles into a heart of Lily Of The Valley, Iris, Jasmine, and Apricot, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Oakmoss, Musk, and Cedar.

Our verdict on Hot: Favourite

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.

Its moderate sillage and warm, comforting accords make it versatile for casual wear and dates. While some find it office-appropriate, its sweetness and potential for poor longevity mean it might need reapplication, making it less ideal for formal settings or sports.

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.
