Launched in 2009, Hot Water by Davidoff is an Oriental Spicy fragrance crafted by perfumers Domitille Bertier and Olivier Polge. The composition opens with a vibrant blend of wormwood and basil, creating a fresh spicy tension that evolves into warm notes of paprika and patchouli. The heart and base layer in benzoin and styrax add depth and an enveloping balsamic warmth, making it feel like the scent of a cozy interior on a chilly day.
