The latest celebrity to launch their signature scent is Beyonce. Called Heat, while you might expect a strong fiery fragrance, it's actually rather sweet and succulent. A concoction of peach, vanilla, almond and honeysuckle, its tropical tones make it easy to wear while the bottom notes of musk and amber account for the subtle but sensual finale.
