Heidi Klum's Surprise Eau de Toilette Spray

Just as vibrant and full of life as the stunning beauty, supermodel celebrity behind its inspiration, Heidi Klum's Surprise, the fourth fragrance in her line in conjunction with Coty, is a fruity-floral bursting with energy, fun, and underlying temptation that recently launched February 2013.

The opening notes are brisk to grab your attention from citrus mandarin against the pink peppercorn.  Soon, however, that wash of bright, sparkling perkiness meets the magnolia and rose in the heart, providing an alluring sheer sweetness.  The more the fragrance evolves and warms, the creamier this romantic scent becomes.  In the base, this luscious floral creaminess is perfected when those notes of sandalwood and benzoin kick in to pull the mix in so seductively together for almost a powdery aroma.

I really liked the unpredictable sides in this gorgeous fruity-floral and the beautiful way all those notes came together.  Furthermore, Surprise had a wonderful longevity, which also endeared it to me. 

The only small criticism I have revolves around the open strip of plastic that makes up the cap for the pink, black, and gold adorned glass flacon bottle.  A closed cover would have been preferable.  Other than that, I think this fragrance is a wonderful addition to any perfumistas' collection. 

Those especially fond of a clean, but modern fruity-floral, I think you need to look into Surprise Eau de Toilette because it is a delight!

Shine by Heidi Klum Perfume

When stunning supermodel and television star, Heidi Klum envisioned her first fragrance for Coty, she insisted to perfumers, Aurelien Guichard, Jean Guichard, and Oliver Pescheux that it be a luxurious blend of femininity and sensuality wrapped in an expensive-smelling formula.  Thus, the result was Shine, an oriental-floral, which launched in 2011 and since received the Fragrance Foundation FIFI Award for Fragrance of the Year--Broad Appeal Women category.

The scent opens with a fresh rush of mandarin and pink pepper until the pear mellows it to a creamy, fruity sweetness like a delicious cool dessert you want to keep enjoying.  

Nonetheless, once the floral heart develops with notes of mimosa absolut, lily of the valley and sunflower, this romantic fragrance cozies up with warmth. 

The base is where Shine matures with its oriental influence once the tonka beans, Cosmone musk, and vanilla come into play to give it a heavier and somewhat spicy, musky sweetness that gracefully leaves velvety, fruity softness.  Just be aware, but you may be nibbled upon!

To fully appreciate this fragrance, use it sparingly because oriental blends are typically stronger than other  floral or fruity-floral scents.  Too much of it can be overpowering, but if you keep that in mind, Shine, is an interesting blend that will pleasantly surprise you.
