Italian fashion house Benetton, known for its colorful clothing and free-spirited attitude, introduced the women’s fragrance Hot Gold in 2012.
This eau de toilette embodies the sunny energy and effortless elegance so cherished by the brand’s fans.
The composition was created by talented perfumer Celine Barel, who captured the atmosphere of a warm golden sunset in a bottle.
The fragrance belongs to the floral and fruity families. Top notes of juicy bergamot, ripe peach, and crisp red apple create an invigorating, cheerful opening.
At the heart of the composition, exotic star fruit, delicate mimosa, and noble rose unfold, lending the bouquet depth and femininity.
A base of warm amber, soft musk, and woody sandalwood leaves a cozy, sensual trail.
Hot Gold is a women’s fragrance created for everyday moments when you want to feel special.
As a light eau de toilette, it stays close to the skin, with a virtually imperceptible trail, making it an ideal choice for the office, walks, or a romantic dinner without being overwhelming.
The fragrance seems to create a personal cloud of warmth and confidence, noticed only by those closest to you.
Celine Barel, the creator of Hot Gold, is known for her love of characterful fruity-floral compositions—and this fragrance is no exception.
It harmoniously continues the philosophy of Benetton, bringing together vibrancy and naturalness.

The pyramid of Benetton Hot Gold is built on the contrast of juicy fruits and delicate flowers. Top notes — bergamot, peach and red apple — offer sweet freshness.
