What do reviewers say about Heat and Because Of You?
Most celebrity fragrances stay polite. Heat doesn't. The sequoia-to-tonka drydown is where it earns its name, warm, close, lasting, like stage lights on skin.Heat
Clean, sweet, and floral enough to feel familiar. The vanilla doesn't complicate things. If you've ever wanted a fragrance that smells like the idea of summer rather than summer itself.Because Of You
