Though I am familiar with several of the other fragrances from Beyonce for Coty Beauty, I had never tried her first scent of Heat that launched in 2010.  Working with the house of Givaudan perfumers, Claude Dir and Olivier Gillotin, this is the wildly successful sexy,  fruity-floral fragrance that started it all and later branched into new additions to the Heat line.

From the advertising campaign, I had expected a heavier oriental scent.  However, I was totally surprised because this is a complex blend that does not bombard your senses with any overdose of woods and spice.  Instead, you are slowly enticed through lighter notes of fruit and floral that eventually meets the intriguing warmth brewing in the base from flaming woods and amber. 

Heat Eau de Parfum opens with red vanilla-orchid, magnolia, neroli and peach that pleasantly dilutes that sweetness.  A lushness of floral beauty  surrounds you like stepping into an exotic garden and inhaling after summer rain has hit the ground.

Just as if the dew on those flowers and fruit have lifted, the heart is romantic with notes of honeysuckle and  almond, gradually warming as well like the sun evaporating that moisture once the creamy musk emerges. 

The kindling warmth inevitably catches fire in the base due to sequoia wood, tonka and amber.  The effect is  taunting smokiness that is demurely sexy at the same time.

Heat is ladylike and but full of passion without jumping all over you.  This feeling is what I loved most about it.  The warmth is controlled in this fragrance that gives it that exceptional elegance to the sensuality it possesses.   My suggestion is experience this scent from Beyonce Parfums because it compelling.

Most can only dream of the glamorous world of trend-setting celebrity, beautiful  Kim Kardashian.  However, you experience a bit of that magic in her original perfume with perfumer, Claude Dir that launched in 2009.  This is a sophisticated white floral that will richly drape you in unmatched elegance that will rise you up like a star, feeling confident and chic. 

This exquisite fragrance opens sparkling fresh with mandarin immersed in a bouquet of honeysuckle and orange blossom to keep it young and luminous. 

Once the heart comes into its own, pink jasmine, gardenia, and tuberose petals give it a lush romantic hold along with spices that showers you in its endless beauty.  The exotic white floral notes rein supremely over this fragrant garden.  As it does, the lemony crispness of the mandarin clip away that excess sweetness for a perfect, delicate balance.

The dry down in this base is ever so soft with pale woods of the gentle Tonka, jacaranda, and sandalwood surrounded by vanilla orchid and creamy musk for tasteful seduction.  This is sexy control but done with ladylike style for the allure Kim Kardashian's Signature Perfume  can have.

Often celebrity fragrances fail to get the respect they deserve.  This should not be the case for this fragrance.  I honestly think it's gorgeous and love wearing it.  

If you love a white floral and want something classy and upbeat, then I know you would be crazy about Kim Kardashian Signature Perfume as well.  This would make the perfect Mother's Day gift to spread some of that happiness or just to splurge on yourself so do get some!
