Hot gold Perfume by Benetton, Hot gold is a bright, gorgeous perfume for warm summer months . Launched in 1997, it features a blend of summery ingredients reminiscent of long days and nights on the beach. Juicy bergamot, mandarin orange, and lemon are the top notes. The crisp, invigorating citrus scent is softened by a creamy Brazilian rosewood. Water jasmine, iris, lily of the valley, and apricot are the middle notes. Rich and full, they offer a heady sweetness. Base notes of amber, sandalwood, musk, and oak moss lend a warm sensuality, lingering deep into the night.
