Hot Couture

by Alberto Morillas , Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud

Givenchy Hot Couture is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2000, created by Alberto Morillas and Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud. Hot Couture opens with Lemon and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Strawberry, Spicy, Tuberose, and Rose, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Vetiver. Givenchy's Hot Couture carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Divisive yet iconic, Hot Couture EDT is a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent. While some find it a unique, alluring blend of fruity sweetness and smoky depth, others recoil from what they perceive as an "ashtray" or "burnt plastic" note. Still, it's unmistakably distinctive.

About

Hot Couture EDT opens with a sparkling citrus burst of bergamot and lemon, quickly giving way to a heart of juicy raspberry and strawberry, intertwined with the rich floral sweetness of tuberose and rose. A warm, spicy undercurrent runs throughout, settling into a musky, ambery, and notably earthy vetiver base. This creates a fascinating tension between sweet fruit and an almost smoky, grounded sophistication.
