Hot Cotton
A surprisingly photorealistic take on the smell of hot iron—not the steamy aspect you get in H24, but more like the dry, warm scent of freshly ironed clothes. It’s a fascinating and unique concept that I haven’t really come across outside of the H24 line. Unlike H24, there are no green notes here—just cotton, musk, and a subtle metallic nuance.
Performance is impressive, which seems to be a pattern with Baruti scents. This one lasts all day and even lingers on clothing for up to three days. It stays fairly linear after the opening, but the composition is strong enough that I don’t mind. Someone more familiar with aromachemicals could probably name the exact molecule creating this metallic-cotton effect, but to my nose, it’s primarily a musky base with just a hint of metal—nowhere near as intense as the metallic-animalic punch of Oh My Deer from the same line. This one is much more wearable.
It might be a bit much for summer, but works well in every other season. Honestly, most people wouldn't even clock this as a "perfume." They'd just think you smell fresh and clean in a subtly intriguing way. Baruti continues to impress me, and this one is no exception. It’s a must-try if you’re into avant-garde, anti-perfume territory. While I personally might lean toward something like H24 for more versatility, this is still one of the most creative and well-executed scents I’ve smelled this year.
