PowderyWhat does H.O.T. Always smell like?
Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage good, so it leaves a dense, lasting trail. It reads as a scent for men who want to be noticed.
Cinnamon draws a warm, spicy line, patchouli adds an earthy, smoky depth, and bergamot softens that weight a little. Floral and fruity touches stay in the background, while powdery, leathery and oriental sides round out the character.
