Shimmering Heat

Not sure why this is getting such hate! I found the fragrance to be wonderful! It’s a cooler more subtle version of Jennifer Lopez’s “Live Platinum” which is VERY hard to find anymore and very expensive when you do. Also only comes in a small 1.7-1.0 Oz bottle. I love it but it tends to wear a bit too musky. Shimmering Heat has a bite of the musk but more crisp floral. It’s a very clean scent. Wears VERY well in winter. A lot of people kick Beyonce’s “pulse summertime edition” as well saying no longevity and no scent. But they’re wearing it at the wrong time! It’s a summertime edition fragrance and wears fabulously in winte! Cold weather! Same for shimmering! It lasted on me and smells great. I am very happy for this spin on the Heat line. Great find for $20 some dollars and hadn’t been able to find it for a while so glad I did!

I would say; forget all about what you know of Beyonces perfumes when you are thinking of this perfume, because, it's not like any other of them. This perfume is more like my other lost "babies": OH! of Moschino and Blonde of Versace. Shimmering Heat is also all about "the green stuff", and, I like this green "baby" very much. -There is also the lily and the oak moss, and, I don't smell much of anything else. It's just a nice green perfume even though the bottle is blue, it should have been green, but it is blue.

Gorgeous bottle,colour & scent.Soft, floral and delightful,reminiscent of Sarah Jessica Parker's Lovely perfume which is slightly more musky in comparison.

Bought this as there wasn't much risk involved considering the dirt cheap price tag...and considering the notes, I thought it looked like a good summer cheapie. I was pleasantly surprised with this one. Her debut perfume (which is downright HORRID)...scared me away from trying ANY Beyoncé perfumes until 2017 when I bought Rise and (although a mediocre scent)...I still enjoy it's musky, clean-skin vibe and wear it sometimes still. So I figured why not? This one seemed quite different from anything she's released and I bought it in August which is summer in Pennsylvania. Turns out...I really like this one. I agree with other reviewers...it's a VERY green, almost celery or grass-like scent at times...but in the heat...it works quite well! Most definitely unisex even though it was released for women. Any man can pull this off...it's not feminine whatsoever. I was quite surprised to see all the notes that are listed. Vanilla? None. Patchouli? Seriously?! None detected. To be honest...it smells like the "green notes" + Lily Of The Valley. Period. That's what it smells like. Extremely simple...but like I said...works very well in summer! Has a refreshing and cooling effect in the heat. Scent Itself - 7/.5/10 Longevity - 3-4 hours depending on amount of sprays. Projection - Strong at first. 3 feet or so. Then 1-2 feet after the first 30 minutes. Overall Score - 7.5/10 I really like this one. Most DEFINITELY made for summer! And WAYYYYY better than the original heat. I voted above with a solid "like."

This is a perfect spring/summer scent. It is fresh and grassy, as well as perfectly unisex. Despite the packaging and marketing, this is not feminine whatsoever. If more men swallowed their pride and bought this, they would discover a "hidden" gem because it is "for women". To me, it smells mostly like freshly cut grass with a hint of white flowers. The green notes are extremely prominent but they make for a very fresh scent that is never unpleasant or harsh. Overspraying really makes it shine and brings out the patchouli. I drenched myself in this before going on a walk with my mum last Sunday. At some point she asked me what fragrance I was wearing. She even said it was strong. I pulled my shirt over my nose and took a whiff. It was almost minty, I had never noticed it could be that "strong". It is not "shimmering" but it is certainly perfect for heat. Few fragrances manage to be fresh without making me sick. It is (was R.I.P.) affordable which means you can afford to frequently and abundantly apply it. Unfortunately, I am running out of my 100 ml bottle and I can no longer find it online or anywhere else. It is a shame this seems to have been discontinued. I cannot find the rest of her fragrances either for that matter. This is a very strong like, bordering on love. It only lasts about 3-4 hours but I cannot really complain. I wish I could still buy this because I really appreciate it.
