The review

Worth a try. That is where Hot Couture lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Hot Couture.

Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Hot Couture's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.

At $23 it costs 68% less than Hot Couture.

Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Palermo Perfumes publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.

What it's built to smell like

What it is chasing: raspberry, blackcurrant and bergamot up top, rose, jasmine and carnation in the middle, sandalwood, vanilla and musk underneath — the shape of Givenchy Hot Couture.

  • raspberry
  • blackcurrant
  • bergamot

Heart

  • rose
