The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 1997 by the Italian luxury fashion brand Benetton, Hot is a unisex fragrance that embodies the essence of contemporary elegance. The composition opens with a vibrant citrus trio of mandarin orange, lemon, and bergamot, which gives way to a heart of water jasmine and lily-of-the-valley. This floral warmth is further enhanced by apricot and iris notes, creating a soft and inviting atmosphere. The base, anchored by sandalwood, vanilla, amber, musk, cedar, and oakmoss, brings a warm and powdery depth that makes Hot both comfortable and memorable.

How to wear it

Hot is a fragrance that blooms gradually over time. Start with one generous spray on pulse points to allow the citrus notes to mingle with your skin before giving way to the warm base. This scent reads best close to the skin and works well for daytime wear, offering a subtle yet sophisticated presence.
