What does Hot Couture (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Voters lean towards spring and fall, and towards daily wear and nights out. Most voters call it feminine, with some reading it as modern and others as classic.

It opens with the sweet fruitiness of raspberry nectar. Magnolia adds a soft floral heart, and vetiver settles the base into a dry, woody, slightly smoky ground. Spicy and oriental touches deepen the sweetness.
