Hot Water

Hot Water, a Warm Spicy Oriental

Davidoff Hot Water is a warm spicy oriental. Our version keeps that feel, opening with basil, wormwood, and pepper before a labdanum and cinnamon heart settles over cabreuva, leather, and vetiver.

The Story Behind the Scent

Davidoff built Hot Water as a bold, fiery scent, all aromatic herbs and warm spice over a leathery base. The idea was a rich, distinctive masculinity.

That warm boldness is its appeal. The basil and pepper give it an aromatic lift, the labdanum and cinnamon add a warm spice, and the leather and vetiver give it a smooth depth. Since it was discontinued, fans have missed it. Our interpretation keeps it available.
