What does Hot smell like?

It opens with bergamot, mandarin orange and lemon in a bright citrus layer, softened by rosewood. The heart of iris, apricot, lily of the valley and jasmine is floral, slightly powdery and fruity-sweet. The base of musk, sandalwood, vanilla and amber adds warmth, while cedarwood and oakmoss leave a woody ground.

Longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters pick autumn and spring, then winter; summer is chosen less. Leisure and daily wear lead, with office use also seen as a fit. Lancaster Aquasun and Engelsrufer Love have a close profile.
