Hot Couture has hovered at the edge of my fragrance consciousness for years, but I never actually tried it until this week, when I was feeling particularly jaded at Sephora and I wanted to smell something, anything that wasn't a summer limited edition. Before I tried it, I thought perfume had to smell like flowers and I didn’t know that it could smell creamy and voluptuous. And unusually enough, I prefer the edt over the edp because the former has more vetiver and earthiness, is a little more “flirty” and seems to last better than the edp. The list of all ingredients used in the composition of our products may be subject to change as European regulations evolve. With this intimate fragrance, Givenchy composes an ode to vibrant, sensual, and passionate femininity.

Hot Couture Eau de Parfum is a fragrance for woman that surprises with its Floral-Fruity-Spicy notes. Discover the sophisticated and thrilling L’Interdit, the fun and magnetic Irresistible or Gentleman Givenchy, with an intensity full of fearless charm. There was a time when I smelled this on a lot of women who passed me by (averaging, I’d say, ages 25-40).Somewhere between daring stylishness and refined elegance, this Floral and Fruity Eau de Toilette for woman combines a Raspberry Accord and a Magnolia Accord with Rosa Damascena for a totally couture second skin scent. It's neither Audrey Hepburn nor Liv Tyler, neither the classic L'Interdit nor the blandly trendy Very Irresistible and all its flankers. Now I smell it and realize how ill-fitting it was given her usual perfume taste (Organza and Amarige are her favorites) although she has a funky fashion sense and a love of good times, so perhaps HC wasn’t all that far off the mark.

The edp feels smoother, but in an almost muted, blurred sense, and the staying power wasn’t as good, at least in the mini I had for a while.Hot Couture definitely starts off feeling over-accessorized, but she does slip off her dangly chandelier earrings and blot her hot-pink lipstick after a little while. The combination of fruit and root was so unusual to my nose, like sipping raspberry tea while transplanting flowers in a garden.

Have you ever heard the old advice that you should look in the mirror and remove one accessory from your outfit before you leave the house?Whereas edt can indeed give you a “next Flowerbomb”, easy-rasperry-sweet scent impression, edp is more refined. Givenchy has reinvented its iconic fragrances, including Hot Couture Eau de Toilette, with a new refined bottle emblematic of the Maison's style. Casually today I’m wearing CH Men by Carolina Herrera and I remember like more than a decade ago, my mom used to wear Hot Couture, the first version in eau de parfum concentration and I don’t know why I can really smell a lot of similarities between this two, probably the sugar, vanilla, nutmeng on CH play similar to the raspberry – vanilla on HC. And now that I think about it, I'm intrigued by this fragrance: Hot Couture has been holding its place in the Givenchy section of perfume counters since it was released in 2000, yet it's such a "neither/nor" fragrance for the venerable brand.
