Hot (1997)
by Benetton

Hi there :)

I have to say I bought this HOT fragrance to pair up with my COLD one. The sprayer in the shape of water tap really rocks and worth to be part of my collection.

The scent is very strong and overpowering for me. I am quite amazed with how synthetic the scent is. I truly prefer COLD over HOT and it is more girlie too :)

Cheers,

Benetton usually seems to make an adequate fragrance, but for Benetton Hot they have taken it a step farther into the “very good” territory. Hot isn’t hot but it is warm… warm, pleasant, floral, spicy, and ambery. The flowers dominate in the bouquet form with a standard jasmine note being most present to my nose; the spices (in this case, mostly from rosewood) are held to a bare minimum; and the amber is very sweet. There’s little complexity involved, the accords are simple and straightforward and slightly feminine, although there is enough wood in the background to tilt it in the direction of unisex. Hot has a nice sillage and very good longevity on my skin. For what it costs, it is quite good.

Tacky bottle, filled with liquid vanilla combined with a cheap wood notes...I couldn't be more turned off.

I prefer this one much more than its "cold" counterpart. Hot was very warm and comfortable. Very relaxing, its something that I'd wear around the house when I wanted to just chill and have some down time.

I'm with RuffDawg on this one in that I far prefer "Hot" to "Cold." It's true that "Hot" goes on awfully feminine, but it dries down to a fairly sweet sandalwood base that's very, very unisex.

Wouldn't go out of my way to pick up another bottle, no, but can't give this one a thumbs down, either. Good stuff for the price -- great scent for a college kid (of either gender) on a budget.

Benetton launched the set of unisex fragrances Hot and Cold in 1997. They were designed as UNISEX and to either be worn alone or mixed together, to create yet another fragrance, which I guess you would call Warm, LOL. I love Hot, but don't care much for Cold on its own, but mixed together with Hot I like it.
