Heat: The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour
Beyoncé Heat is an original perfume by American singer-songwriter Beyoncé, who created it alongside Claude Dir and Olivier Gillotin of Givaudan. It was released on February 3, 2010, with the tagline "catch the fever". The perfume has been described as having a fruity, almost peachy smell, with a warm and musky finish. It has received mixed reviews, with some praising its scent and value for money, while others have criticised its longevity.
In June 2013, a limited edition of Heat was released, titled Heat: The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour. This new fragrance was inspired by Beyoncé's tour and was meant to reflect "the power, passion and playfulness" of her performances. The scent is described as lighter than her previous releases, with top notes of mangosteen, black pepper, and Açaí palm, middle notes of violet petals, Indian Sambac Jasmine, and Brassia Edua Loo orchid, and base notes of bourbon vanilla, Australian sandalwood, and vetiver.
The original Heat perfume has been described as "a unique expression of a woman's powerful sensuality: sexy, elegant yet feminine with an air of mystery", reflecting a self-assured woman. It has also been called an alluring and modern fragrance that embodies a "compelling spirit". The commercial for the perfume, directed by Jake Nava, sparked controversy for its sexually explicit imagery and was only allowed to be broadcast at night in the UK.
The limited-edition perfume, Heat: The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour, captures the essence of Beyoncé's dynamic performances and offers fans a special memento of her tour. With its unique blend of notes, the fragrance embodies the power, passion, and playfulness that Beyoncé brings to the stage.

Heat's critical reception
Beyoncé Heat, the first fragrance by the American singer-songwriter, was released in February 2010. The perfume was created by Beyoncé in collaboration with perfumers Claude Dir and Olivier Gillotin of the company Givaudan. The scent has been described as floral, fruity, woody, and musky, with top notes of vanilla, magnolia, neroli, and peach, and base notes of almond macaroon, honeysuckle, and musk. The perfume received mixed critical reception. While some reviewers praised the scent as classy and sophisticated, others criticised it as terrible and putrid.
Amy Odell of New York magazine gave Heat's scent a negative review, criticising the fragrance's packaging as being very similar to that of K-Y Jelly. Odell also stated that the scent was offensive, describing it as a mix of "car fumes and that vanilla body spray Victoria's Secret used to sell to 12-year-olds". However, Holly Siegel of The New York Times complimented the fragrance's scent, describing it as a "floral-fruity-woody blend" with notes of neroli, almond, and tonka bean.
Online reviews of the perfume are also mixed. One reviewer on Fragrantica.com described the perfume as "beautiful", while another said that it "smelled like sex". Some reviewers found the scent too sweet or synthetic, with one commenting that the peach and orange notes were slightly headache-inducing when over-applied. Another reviewer, who purchased the perfume for £10, noted that it was a good budget-friendly option that smelled more classy than it cost.
In addition to the original Heat perfume, Beyoncé released five additional fragrances in the Heat line: Heat Ultimate Elixir, Heat Rush, Midnight Heat, Heat: The Mrs. Carter Show World Tour, and Heat Wild Orchid. The Heat releases became the best-selling line of celebrity-endorsed fragrances, with $400 million earned at retail globally.
