Heat Kissed

Love at first spray and it was hot outside the day I tested this. I am hesitant to comment on the top tropical fruits notes as I can't remember fully so I may edit the top notes review . They seemed jumbled up and slightly milky boozy but in a subdued way however and totally unlike the gluey booze in Queen Latifah top notes. It's as if there waiting to develop into something lovely which is exactly what occured. The midnotes quickly develop and especially remember there being a "Carmex or chapstick" type note that reminded me of Dior Dolce Vita but not as in your face strong like the Dior. More toned down. After that you are left with the sandalwood cashmere woods vanilla dusty accord that lingers so beautiful and gives u that mother comfort vibe but in a sexy alluring way if that makes any sense.the patchouli is done so subtly and beautiful that it comes off like a dusty cocoa but not gourmand. This is just blended so well. Nothing sickly or heady and can be worn all seasons. Finally a vanilla without the same ol' vanilla soft serve dry down that is in most celebrity and now even a lot of designer scents. This is a winner and sultry in a bottle!

I'm so happy and impressed with this Beyonce fragrance. I picked up 3 from her line and I'm finally cracking into them and using them. This is intriguing and sexy for sure. It opens up as a super fruity vanilla jam. Its very sweet and fruity for the first 25 to 30 minutes of wear. It settles down to a sweet jasmine and rich creamy woods and seems to be blended together by a smooth patchouli. I think this could be worn in a super causal setting since it is not too strong. There is a somewhat tropical vibe to it because of the mango that is in it so it has been working well during these hot summer days. It really is gorgeous. The dry down is my favorite part; creamy tropical wood and sweet patchouli. It is definitely a crowd pleaser. I see its compared to Hypnotic Poison? Can anyone vouch for that? I'm interested in the dior but I've never tried it myself.

I just got the gift set today. The opening of Heat Kissed is almost identical to Purr by Katy Perry, which is one of my all-time favorites. It's very juicy from the fruits and it's a wonderful compliment to the main note, vanilla. Unfortunately the longevity is very poor. I'm surprised it's an eau de parfum. It lasts more like a body spray, but luckily I have the lotion to slow the evaporation. It eventually settles so that the main notes smelled in the opening (juicy fruits and vanilla) is lightly floating on a bed of patchouli. It's left very close to the skin. Very intimate. After it settles to the skin you get faint wisps of it, which is nice, but not anything like after you first spray it. Purr is more my style, as I like scents to have good sillage and at least decent longevity, but I do like Heat Kissed.

Despite the fact that this perfume came out in summer and is described as tropical, I see it as a winter perfume. It is very dark and deep, so I believe it suits in cold and rainy weather very well. Also, many people say that Beyonce's fragrances don't last on their skin. However, on me they last a good amount of time (about 5-6 hours) and they are quite strong on me as well. So, I would definitely recommend this, as it is really cheap, but does not smell like a typical cheap celebrity perfume.

Lovely. I'm very happy with this. It smells beautiful, and I do smell everything, with vanilla and patchouli wrapped around it all. I love that. I think all Beyonce's perfumes are really nice. This one lasts all day and evening on me too, and my husband says every now and then that he can smell the lovely smell wafting around.. She's given me another lovely perfume. Thank you Beyonce. And the bottle and colour are, as usual with Beyonce, very impressive.
