Hot Couture Eau de Toilette Givenchy for women

I wanted so badly to try this one! I thought that maybe I'd like it, it had so many good reviews... I found it while I was on a trip, and sprayed it right on. All that I got was a synthetic, sweet raspberry, kinda dizzling - at least I got that impression. It's very warm and very sweet, just like a raspberry popping candy. Not my cup of tea, too childlish.
I don't understand how a woman could feel sexy and classy wearing this.
I have to admit though, it's got amazing lasting power. A little bit too lasting for me - as I really wanted not to smell this anymore after 3 days on my clothes.

looking at the note, its really appealing to me.i went to a store and spray in on my hand.OMG..I hate it!..I have to wash it right off..
I think the perfume gone bad?!?!
because by the note,it should smell amazing!!!
i will try it again ,hopefully its just that bottle gone wrong..

I love this fragrance! It's perfect for Russian autumn. It's warming and sweet like a spicy tea with just baked raspberry cake))) yet sexy like a strawberry lubricant).

LOVE LOVE LOVE... SEXY

well, at university when i was 24, boys in class were mad of me ..and trying to sit next to me by hot gevenchy smell...and one day one of them like a dog were acting as smelling it:D was so funny ..

To me this smells like a synthetic strawberry, reminiscent of the Strawberry Shortcake dolls...

I dont know about you but I dont want to smell like a plastic doll...

Dolls dont have any genitalia... what fun is that?

This is, in all honesty, my favorite perfume. It smells to me like raspberries and champaign. Seriously. It`s yummy but sort of sexy at the same time. It just makes me smell SO good. I cannot get enough of this fragrance. I use it sparingly because I only have about half a bottle left. But whenever I smell it, I fall in love all over again :)

I'll be a little blasphemous but somehow this fragrance doesn't match with me. It's a juicy raspberry, but it isn't sweet, cute and innocent at all! Strawberry and raspberry in Hot Couture edt are dark and an asphalt-like ;)being strongly red altogether I haven't tested something being much similar to the fragrance yet - the fragrance is feminine, sexy, but in a sweet and dangerous way (I'm sweet but I can be naughty and dark). I understand why it can be loved - not by me though. Raspberry, strawberry mainly with tuberose and spices that give the darker, even smokey feeling. Also hints of magnolia, vetiver... Bottle is solid and vintage looking
. And it's written it's oriental fruity on my bottle. Apparition by Ungaro is different - raspberry there is brighter without the "smoke" and colder.

This is my signature fragrance... I have been re-buying and using it from the past five years. I can never get tired of this perfume. It lasts on my skin for good 10 hours. It smells like a mixture of raspberries, strawberries, and spices. I have many perfumes, but this particular one is just my fav. I highly recommend not to buy the original version of Hot Couture instead buy this pink one EDT. The original one, after few hours, start to smell like rotten bananas/rotten fruits.

it smells smoky to me! but in a sweet way with a tinge of rasberry! all in all, it's a wonderful scent!

Love, love, love this. I can't help but smile when I wear it, opens fruity and a little sweet on me and then changes to this gorgeous spice and smoke with a hint of fruit dry down *Ahh, sniffs wrist*

This is just....adorable. I have the EDP and hesitated over buying the EDT as well for so long but they are quite different and I'm so happy I did. With the EDP I get the smokey, some people report "lead pencil" scent - but with the EDT there is none of that. It opens more with a raspberry sherbert shortly followed by raspberry sweetened with strawberry and amber for warmth (and I don't generally enjoy amber), a little spiciness and florals peeking through. The vetiver shines in the base notes yet it still has that sweet hint of raspberry. No ordinary fruity floral and I love it! Straight onto my top shelf :)

The only time I wouldn't wear this is on a very hot summer day. Otherwise an anytime scent.

Sillage is excellent with ony 3 sprays. Longevity at least 6 hours.

This reminds me of the Gucci pink one with the berries and pepper. I only tested it on a card I did not see the drydown but I didn't buy it because I already had the gucci one. It is very nice and fresh and uplifting but smells a little more expensive for this type of perfume not like a cheap drugstore perfume. I will have to test it properly next time.

love this - it has that tang that makes my mouth water! Reminds me to go buy it again - one of the few perfumes I have used to the last drop before moving on!

When I smell this I feel like laughing. Its such a good mood, perfume with a true sense of humor; even the name is meant to be funny. Something about the deep pink, raspberry smell with pepper underlying it just tickles me the right way. This perfume is like a good friend who always makes you laugh, smile and look at the brighter side of life. But underneath that sometimes silly smirk is a really witty, intelligent person.

I absolutely adore this perfume. It is sweet and sultry all the same time. It smells youthful sexy and flirty. I love how I get all my fragrant fixes in one with this- the fruity sweetness of the raspberry opening and the sultry, smoky, peppery dry down. Too bad it doesn't last long at all. :(

@ perfume rocks.
I had the edp and gave it away. Love it on someone else.
The edt is better fo me. Don't give me migrain.
Edp is a litle stronger and a little sweeter.
But i have to say the edp gave me more compliments.
in summer....take edt
winter...edp
one of the best pefumes ever !!

can anyone tell me the real difference in the EDT version and the EDP version, i have heard mix reviews saying the EDT was better and then the EDP was better, i want to purchase but its expensive and i want to get the one that suits my taste better, I have never smelled either one but the reviews and notes sound amazing, i am more of a fruity/floral girl and want to add a deeper smell to my collection but not to deep if you know what i mean, help will be greatly appreciated thanks!!!


Thanks ancalimon...i really appreciate the help that has made my mind up im getting the EDT becasue im more of a summer scent girl

This fragrance is amazing - sweet, fruity and little "smoky", but.. it doesn't last.. :( How I wish it would last all day or at least 4 hours, but it doesn't.. :( 3 hours max. It is a wonderful scent, I love it. Will try the EDP version. :)

This fume opens very clean, citrusy sweet. I could smell the hint of raspberry with a slight hint of fruitiness. It just continue to develop into something interesting. I also enjoy it's airy spiciness and woody notes. Great sillage and longevity. Overall, this is very elegant, voluptuous, glamorous and refined. It is lighter, crisp than the original. It is fresh, clean, not overpowering. Best perfume for all season. I really love it!
