Smells gorgeous, I’ve been wearing it for years. My mom gifted me the original KP Meow, which was my favorite until she gave me this Beyoncé one; she didn’t like it because it became too sweet and youthful. Now I still love it, even if it’s not overpowering. Back in the day, it was my favorite; it felt more cheerful and tropical than the Meow. I never knew its notes until now, but I always sensed a tropical vibe from the passion fruit and mango. Now that I know it has cherry, I can identify it as a fruit cocktail in canned syrup. I’ll keep using it even in winter because I associate it with warm, summery, or tropical weather. I think this scent works better as a body mist than a perfume.
It’s a nice-smelling perfume with very sweet exotic fruits and floral tones, but it’s a generic gourmand. It lacks strong personality or memorability; it’s not even distinctive—it’s just the most common and boring thing I’ve encountered. It doesn’t last at all; even with 20 sprays, you don’t get a decent trail. You’re suffocated for five minutes and then nothing. The longevity is about 30 minutes, wasting half the bottle while barely lingering on the skin. It’s so weak you have to sniff right where you applied it. A disaster! I was gifted it and wouldn’t buy or gift it again, though I appreciate the gesture. The giver wanted to please me, and the perfumer recommended it; I shouldn’t have opened it just to swap it out. Honorine Blanc’s standalone perfumes aren’t anything special, but curiosity and the pretty bottle made me keep it. Bam, another letdown! I don’t understand how they collaborate on big hits like Tressor La Nuit a la Folie or Yes I am, only to produce this in solo form. What a shame! It feels like an abuse and a rip-off. If they can make good, long-lasting perfumes cheaper than this, brands like Puig, Mercadona, Sterling, or EAU companies launch amazing scents for €10, so it’s possible. It feels like a robbery, and the excuse that ‘it’s cheap so you can use a lot’ doesn’t work; even using half the bottle doesn’t help—it’s the weakest I’ve ever had.
I wouldn’t buy it again. Even though it’s cheap, it’s not worth it. It smells good and nice, nothing overpowering. I don’t find it as citrusy; it feels simple, like a body mist. I expected more punch and it lasts a breath.
I wouldn’t buy it again. Despite being super cheap, I don’t think it’s worth it. It’s a pleasant and rich scent, not at all suffocating. I don’t find it as citrusy as others do. Unfortunately, it feels simple, like a body mist. I expected more punch, and it lasts a breath.
I love it! I already really like the classic Heat, and this one interested me due to the good reviews here and the notes of grapefruit (blood orange) and passion fruit, which I adore. Let me tell you, it has little to do with Heat; this version, Heat Rush, is extremely summery and light, even fresh to a point, and really delicious. I liked it a lot because I think I could wear it every day. I don’t find the main accord to be citrusy, so don’t be scared; it’s sweet and tropical. The note that stands out most is the cherry in the opening, followed by the passion fruit. I haven’t had the chance to try other Escada perfumes, so I don’t know if there’s a relation. What surprised me is that when I tested Heat Rush, the opening reminded me a lot of Justin Bieber’s Someday, but only for a few minutes—a slight resemblance. In my opinion, since I like both, Heat Rush is better developed. P.S.: I JUST FOUND OUT THAT HONORINE BLANC DIDN’T JUST MAKE HEAT RUSH BUT ALSO JUSTIN BIEBER’S SOMEDAY!!! The resemblance isn’t a coincidence then.
It’s not a bad perfume; the scent is exquisite, but there’s something that gives me a headache when I wear it. I gifted it away. It’s sweet, tropical, and fresh, with a slight citrus touch. Very similar to Al Rehab’s Sabaya.

Very fruity. It has a very fresh passion fruit, sweet without being cloying, very tropical and youthful. Great for daily use and shines in summer.
I bought it blindly, following the notes; at first, it didn’t disgust me, but I didn’t like it. I thought about selling it. By fate, the sale didn’t go through, and today I gave it another chance… oh my, what a charm! It’s so delicious. I agree it’s sweet and tropical, special for spring, very rich, even though I’m really picky about scents. It’s sweet fruity with a little citrus, not much.

For citrus lovers! Citrus, citrus, citrus, and more citrus… I tested it in a store and didn’t like it; it smells very old-fashioned. Pure grapefruit and nothing else, no evolution. A quite heavy fragrance. Honestly, citrus and I don’t have a good relationship.
For citrus lovers! Citrus, citrus, citrus, and more… I tried it in-store and didn’t like it; it smells very soapy. Pure grapefruit and nothing else, it doesn’t evolve. A pretty heavy fragrance. Honestly, citrus and I just don’t get along.
Delicious sweet and tropical aroma; you can taste the juicy fruits. It lasts a long time and has a nice trail, but it’s hard to find here.
Delicious sweet and tropical scent; you can feel the juicy fruits, it lasts a long time on my skin, and has good projection. The problem is that it’s hard to find in my country.
I love it; it does resemble Taj Sunset quite a bit, though its longevity is shorter and its projection is very weak; if people don’t come close, they can’t smell it. It’s creamy yet fresh. I’m wearing it in summer and currently autumn, and it works well for me, though I need to reapply every so often.
I adore Beyoncé, but her perfumes are usually boring. Out of the three I’ve tried, this is the only one I keep. It’s not my absolute favorite, but I like it: it’s sweet, fruity, and fresh.
If you’re looking for a year-round all-rounder, try Heat Rush. It’s sweet and tropical without being heavy: a blend of blood orange, passion fruit, and cherry with a floral touch. I know it doesn’t sound deep, but it’s versatile: perfect for daily wear, gifting, or saving the day. The trail is soft and lasts about 4 to 5 hours. I’m buying it for the quality-to-price ratio. Give it a try. Rating: 7/10.
Sweet but fresh, very fruity. It tastes great, though it does last a short time and the trail is minimal, which isn’t surprising for an Eau de Toilette. It’s not the most original in the world, but it’s fine for daily use, plus it’s cheap.
I wore it one summer at the beach and loved it. It smelled very fruity and tropical, like orange and passion fruit—delicious with great longevity. What a pity it’s no longer available.
I found it exquisite; I was looking for something fruity but not too childish, and I liked it a lot. It’s a bit like Big Pony Women 2, but this one lacks that powdery vanilla base that smells like car air freshener… I absolutely loved Heat Rush.
They stopped forcing innovation to focus on what people actually like. Heat Rush beats the original (which isn’t hard to beat). It has incredible versatility and is a timeless option. Pleasant aroma: blood orange that pairs perfectly with cherry and passion fruit, with flowers adding depth. It’s sweet and fruity, with a tropical vibe… a bit generic but appealing. It comes from trends, so it’s not innovative, but worth it for the price. The downside: the trail and longevity are like cigarette smoke, appearing and disappearing in seconds.
I’m into sweet perfumes, but when I smelled this, I didn’t like it; it’s not for me. I found it unpleasant.
This perfume smells amazing: it lasts a long time, smells fresh and citrusy, with a sweet touch. For the price, it’s excellent. I recommend it.
I use it daily; it’s cheerful, youthful, uncomplicated, and easy to wear, very pleasant though nothing extraordinary. It smells fresh at first, the blood orange is light but noticeable, less intense than in other perfumes. I don’t detect the cherry or passion fruit separately. In the middle, the orchid predominates, not intense, and in the base, a light generic sweetness, like caramel with amber, without being cloying. It has subtle woody notes and a decent synthetic musk. It seems better designed than others in its range or by celebrities like Shakira (synthetic musk just doesn’t work for me). I’m surprised they say it doesn’t last long; on my skin, it lasted 6 to 8 hours with a light to moderate trail, all day without reapplication. I’ve worn it in heat, temperate, and cold weather; I prefer it in temperate or cold climates because in the heat it smells like mango. If you only like Candyland-style sweets, you’ll be disappointed; if you prefer citrus or florals, it won’t work for you either. But if you like summery fruity scents like Escada, less sweet, and you’re on a budget, give it a try. For me, it’s a daytime all-rounder and the best Beyoncé perfume I’ve tried so far.
This cologne is one of the best I’ve ever tried: it’s like a hot, sexy summer. Although it doesn’t last as long as others claim, that’s because it’s a cologne, not a perfume, but it still leaves a scent that attracts people.

Smells amazing! It’s sweet with mango, starfruit, and a hint of strawberry. Perfect for daytime since it doesn’t last long enough for evening.
So delicious! It’s fruity and gives me a real boost of joy when I put it on, but by evening it’s very faint… I agree with the previous reviewer.
On my skin, I detect lots of mango, a bit of musk, amber, and a touch of wood. The other fruits and flowers make it sweet and slightly generic, but it remains appealing. Heat Rush isn’t innovative at all; it’s sweet, fruity, and easy to wear, fitting the current trend (like Escada’s summer editions). I love tropical scents, so I’m happy with this Beyoncé perfume and it’s a great price. Too bad it fades quickly from the skin; it has almost no projection and doesn’t last.
