Givenchy Hot Couture Eau de Parfum 100ml is a vibrant fruity-floral with a daring spicy edge, created in 2000 by master perfumers Alberto Morillas and Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud. A distinctive raspberry accord opens the fragrance with juicy sweetness, balanced almost immediately by black pepper, magnolia and smoky vetiver — a contrast that gives Hot Couture its signature "sweet-but-not-juvenile" character. Sandalwood, amber and white musk warm the base into a sensual, second-skin drydown. Fragrance notes Top: Raspberry, Bergamot, Orange Heart: Pepper, Vetiver, Magnolia, Indian Grandiflorum Jasmine Base: Sandalwood, Amber, Musk Olfactory family: Fruity Floral with Oriental Drydown | Launched: 2000 The story behind Hot Couture Givenchy launched Hot Couture on the eve of the new millennium as an ode to vibrant, sensual femininity that merges haute couture sophistication with playful daring. The pairing of Alberto Morillas and Jacques Cavallier on a single brief is rare — these are two of the most influential perfumers of the modern era — and the resulting composition has become a cult favourite among lovers of grown-up gourmand-tinged florals. Givenchy refreshed the bottle design in 2022 while keeping the original juice intact. Who is this fragrance for? Hot Couture suits women looking for something sweet but not childish, fruity but not synthetic-candy. Ideal for evenings, date nights, and cool-weather wear (autumn through early spring). The smoky-spicy underbelly keeps it sophisticated — it works as well in a formal dinner setting as in a winter night out. Specifications Size: 100ml Concentration: Eau de Parfum Gender: Women Brand: Givenchy Year: 2000 Perfumers: Alberto Morillas, Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud Frequently asked questions How long does Hot Couture last on the skin? Longevity is excellent — typically 8+ hours, with strong sillage in the first 2–3 hours. Many wearers report lingering trail on clothing for a day or longer. What does Hot Couture smell like? A jammy raspberry opening cooled by black pepper and warmed by amber and sandalwood. Often described as "sweet but smoky," "raspberry meets cigar," or "sexy-mature fruit floral." Is Hot Couture EDP different from the EDT version? Yes. The Eau de Toilette leans more on the fruity raspberry-strawberry-citrus opening and reads brighter. The Eau de Parfum is darker, spicier, and more amber-woody in the drydown. Both share the same overall DNA.
