Hot Couture By Givenchy

Mostly juicy and ripe, like peach, berry or apple. Underneath that, sharp and peppery, more like cracked pepper than baking spice.

It opens on raspberry, bergamot and orange, moves through pepper, vetiver and magnolia, and settles on sandalwood, amber and musk.

• raspberry: tart red fruit, jammy with a slightly fuzzy edge
• bergamot: bright citrus peel, sharper and greener than orange. The note that makes Earl Grey tea smell the way it does

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
