  I didn’t detect the absinthe note, but I definitely smelled the patchouli with spicy (pepper) and green (basil) undertones, finishing with benzoin and those resinous impressions—nothing too heavy. It’s a heavier fragrance for winter or autumn, youthful, but I found it a bit one-dimensional for my taste, somewhat flat for what I expect from a spiced oriental. Good longevity and moderate sillage.

  The absinthe didn’t hit me; instead, I got the patchouli with spices (paprika) and greens (basil), closing with a resinous but light benzoin. It feels more like a winter or autumn scent, though for my taste, it lacks complexity and feels a bit flat for a spiced oriental. Longevity is good and the trail is moderate.

  I never say this fragrance is bad; I just say it’s not for me. I tried it, left, came back later, and bought it convinced. A few days later, I started wearing it, and nothing happened on my skin; it smelled like water. Even after several applications, nothing. Fortunately, they exchanged it for me. It just didn’t work on my skin, only on my skin. Great review from friend priethcallas, and I appreciate his concept. My cordial hug, from Argentina.

  I’ll start by saying that straight from the bottle, it smells similar to Givenchy’s Xeryus Rouge because I could detect the sweet paprika, and that scent feels so sexy and rounded in any perfume. However, once I applied it, I noticed a strong alcohol smell that dissipated after a minute, leaving behind a versatile, spicy, fresh, and intense scent that really stands out. Later, Heat by Beyoncé came to mind, so it has a feminine undertone without losing its masculine character, which I like. It’s a daily wear, dynamic fragrance for a young audience; it smells like a clean, fresh cologne meant to please without trying too hard. It has a sweet, herbal, and finally balsamic scent, with a pleasant aroma close to vanilla thanks to the benzoin note. The patchouli gives it a versatile, clean touch, and I like that it doesn’t ruin the fragrance, keeping it masculine… The commercial has nothing to do with what’s inside the bottle; it’s not sexually overwhelming, for God’s sake! I would have chosen a guy aged 17 to 25 going to college while it’s raining, dressed in a slightly punk style, rushing to catch the bus, flirting with a girl as he boards, kissing her, and that’s it!

  A fresh and delicate fragrance at the same time. Davidoff has a very varied range of proposals in their catalog, affordable in price and high quality. Chapeau.

  I’m not usually a fan of oriental fragrances, but this was an exception. Maybe because my taste leans more towards classic green and woody scents. I found Hot Water to be spiced and warm, yet soft, with a slightly green touch, lacking the sweet or heavy vibe I usually associate with orientals. That also makes it more versatile; it’s not just for night or formal events, so you can wear it daily, even to work. Maybe it’s a way to gently introduce non-fans of oriental scents to the genre and get them out of their comfort zone. Good longevity and value, though personally, I love its flanker, Hot Water Night, much more.

  I’m not usually into oriental fragrances, but this was an exception. Maybe because my tastes tend toward classic green and woody scents. Hot Water smelled spicy and warm, yet soft, with a green touch that avoids the typical cloying sweetness of the genre. That makes it super versatile: it’s not just for night or formal events; I wear it to work daily. It might be a gateway for those who don’t usually like orientals to try something without stepping out of their comfort zone. Good longevity and price, though I still prefer its flanker, Hot Water Night, by far.

  Personally, I see this as a fragrance for teens or people with low perfume expectations. Despite having quality ingredients, everything rests on a base that, in my opinion, feels quite cheap and reminiscent of hygiene products. It’s extremely abstract and doesn’t smell like anything natural at all. At least it doesn’t smell bad, which is something, and it lasts a few hours at a decent price. The patchouli, absinthe, and basil give it green, fresh notes, while the paprika adds a warm, spicy counterpoint, but the overall blend isn’t very impactful.

  Davidoff Hot Water seems like an interesting twist on the original concept. As the name suggests, ‘Hot Water’ transforms its casual usage into a more romantic, nocturnal, and spicy profile. It’s like a Cool Water suit-and-tie version ready to take over the night. The first thing that stands out is the pepper: a spicy, warm, and slightly sweet burst that contrasts with the herbal and fresh nuances. It doesn’t reach the heaviness of an oriental, but it’s definitely more than a daily driver. This spicy-fresh duo offers great versatility; it’s never too much or too little. It fits any situation. The scent is very pleasant and retains its original character. To that, it adds a low price and decent performance. It’s an absolute all-rounder, starting from humble roots, that will take us wherever we want with its informal and slightly rebellious touch. (Tested thanks to Jerry Drake).

  I can smell the herbal vibe of the original, but this is much more sensual and conquering, thanks to the spicy kick of paprika and patchouli. I wore it once at a party years ago and I’ll never forget it: a girl walked by and said, ‘Wow, you smell great,’ without even knowing me. It’s one of Davidoff’s best in terms of quality and price. It lasts about eight hours with a good four-hour projection. At this price point, there’s no flaw to be found; I see it as a nighttime scent. I’ll buy it again and again.

  ‘Lives up to its name ‘Hot’.’ First, I don’t understand why it’s compared so much to Xeryus Rouge. They share some slight similarities at times, but each follows its own path. The sweet paprika note is captivating and seductive, blending with the benzoin from the heart through to the dry down. It’s extremely seductive, but better for intimacy than for social life. Given its notes, it’s versatile in winter; although its strength is romance, it still garners compliments in the office. That said, its longevity and projection are scarce (like most Davidoff scents), and unfortunately, on my skin, they last less than average. Scent: 8 / Quality: 6 / Longevity: 5 / Projection: 5 / Versatility: 7

  Personally, Hot by Davidoff didn’t win me over. Besides lasting a short time on my skin (you can tell it fades quickly), it’s not a complex aroma in terms of quality, though that doesn’t stop it from being original. It’s definitely worth trying, and I don’t regret spending the whole bottle. I must say, it’s the one that gets the most comments from girls. Can you imagine sweat with a good smell? If that existed, it would be Hot Water by Davidoff.

  Hot Water by Davidoff is a very average fragrance with no surprises. It opens strong with absinthe and basil, but the projection fades within fifteen minutes, lasting about four hours before it disappears. It’s pleasant, but due to the lack of projection and longevity, it ends up being just another generic scent. Perfect for the office: it doesn’t overpower or bother anyone, gets the job done for four hours, and is ideal for daytime wear. I wouldn’t use it at night or for dates, and in formal settings, it’s unnecessary since it doesn’t make an impact. In short, it’s a bland fragrance that doesn’t bother anyone, perfect for offices and keeps you smelling good for four hours. Cheers.
