Givenchy Hot Couture is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2000, created by Alberto Morillas and Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud. Hot Couture opens with Bergamot, Orange, and Raspberry, settles into a heart of Vetiver, Magnolia, and Pepper, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Sandalwood. Givenchy's Hot Couture carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

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.

Best Occasions

Best For:

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.

About

Hot Couture opens with a boozy, juicy burst of raspberry, cut through by bright bergamot and a hint of orange. This fruity flamboyance quickly meets a peppery heart, warmed by vetiver and a delicate magnolia. The dry down is a deeply sensual blend of smoky sandalwood and amber, softened by musk. It's a complex, multifaceted scent that is both sweet and sharply spicy.
