Heat Seduction

Ok i wish i didnt blind buy this one..it was only 20 bucks but still... It reminds me of some sort of insect repellent. I love heat seduction and wild orchid. Years ago i even used to wear the origional heat. So im quite a fan of this line; but theres nothing seductive about this. Its very gingery and the top opening notes and bitter and sharp. It does slowely dry down to a more mild amber and orchid, but its still a rather strange smell. Got a slight cleaning product scent to it Update : so todayis a new day and just as Imabout to post this to buy swap sell on fb i tell myself to give it one mpre try. I had a shower and completely cleaned my other perfume off thay i was wearing. Then sprayed thos on. Its different somehow; the opening isnt as acidic and sharp, instead i get a burst of berry,citrus and a sweet orchid note. Then it quickly morphs to a creamy vanillic orchid with a smoky amber note in the background. Its still not my absolute fave but i can finally see the beauty in it. Im not sure my husbands going to think much of it, he always compliments me whenever i seem to be wearing anytjing really sweet and floral and this does have a slight masculinity to it because of the woody notes. But for me , i like it. Its really far from what i usually like so its nice to have something a bit differe2in my collection. But today is also a lot cooler than yesterday so i have a feeling this seems to blossom more in cold/ nighttime. After about 2 hours this dries down to a basic amber and orchid; nothing too complex but sometimes thats what u want, just a nice simple warm fragrance. Every orchid oerfume is different since its a synthetic lab nade note; but i love the orchid in all beyonces heat line. Its just sweet enough and holds up for a long time. Im so glad i held onto this one i cant believe i almost let it go lol. Mustvenot mixed well with my body chemistry yesterday.

Found this at Priceline with a barely used tester going for $5. Couldn't go wrong with it. I had already smelled it and it was going for $50 brand new so it was quite a steal. I really enjoy this scent, it's very different. Very warm and spicy on me. My skin brings out the amber and ginger. It's quite unlike anything I own. From testing it at 11am, it has stayed on my skin for about 5 hours nearly until I showered when I had to reapply. Kind of reminds me of the new shimmering heat by Beyoncé which I want to get as well. I honestly can't complain or fault it considering I paid $5 for a pretty much full 100ml bottle so I'm happy.

Little update: after a few hours this dries down to a really fluffy sweet scent that strangely reminds me of milk bottle lollies. Mmm

Heat Seduction is very spicy in the beginning, not like warm christmas spices, but sharp and peppery. Fortunately, the pepper blends with sweet and slightly floral notes and doesn't become dry and unpleasant. Not sure if I would identify mandarin and dewberry if I did not read the notes, but there is also something fruity in the top note. Soon the perfume gets more creamy. I can smell the orchid and lots of amber, which is indeed kind of carnal at first. It all dries down to a creamy-sweet floral amber with hints of spices every now and then. It's also very balsamic. Not a typical celeb fragrance, very warm and a bit heavy, not cloying. The original Heat is lighter, sweeter, more fruity and fresh compared to Heat Seduction. The longevity is only average, especially compared to other warm orientals.

Heat Seduction reminds me of Love Hearts sweets; not because it smell just like them exactly, but because of the way that the ginger flower gives the sweet and fruity foreground of the fragrance a fizzy rush of energy. On the downside; the other florals are hidden behind the energetic pop that hits me in the face, so Heat Seduction seems quite linear to me. The longevity is so-so for a cheaper, mass-produced fragrance - 5/6 hours. The sillage is decent though. I'd place this in the middle of the scale; it's not a bad fragrance, but the downsides mean that there's nothing to make it stand out in today's crowed fragrance market.
