Beyonce’s New Fragrance: Beyonce Heat
Posted by VickyC on December 18th, 2009
I don’t know why it bothers me when famous people come out with perfumes… or fragrances… or scents… I’m going to go with fragrance…
The latest celeb to release a fragrance is Beyonce, and it is named Beyonce Heat. Nice.
The big hitters in the fragrance game are of course J-Lo who seems to have a new fragrance out every season, and Britney, whose fragrances either have the word “curious” or “fantasy”… very creative… ?! And of course we mustn’t forget the Beckhams with their His & Hers fragrances and Celine Dion.
I’m sure they smell nice.. but really?! I can’t really understand the appeal of celeb fragrances.. And the names – they’re great! It’s like they just throw words together – in the hope that you will buy their ridiculously priced scented water… Take Jessica Simpson’s Fancy Love.. What does that even mean?!
And perfume ads.. you can always tell when there’s one on.. you have to have semi naked people with far-away looks on their faces, either draped over a chair or rolling around on a bed or in a field and the voice over person saying things like “beauty… remember… seduction… imagination… love…. (insert name of expensive fragranced water) by (name of some expensive company)”. yuck.
I mean, I love my perfumes.. I just think the advertising is a little ridiculous.. and famous people should stop with the “fragrance making” and silly names.
Here’s a list of what I think are the most ridiculous perfume names:
Intimately Beckham by David Beckham – I don’t really want to smell Beckham’s intimate areas thank you….
Insolence by Guerlain – Maybe smelling like rude works for some people… lol
Lady Sexy by Paris Hilton – I beleive Miss Hilton thought of that one all by herself…
Unforgivable Woman by Sean John – I don’t even know what to do with this lol
Cumming by Alan Cumming – imagine asking for this in a store?? smart-ass remarks below please!!
Taste by Jessica Simpson – Yuck by VickyC
Ladyboy by B Never Too Busy To Be Beautiful – can’t imagine asking for this in a store either…
Breath of God by B Never Too Busy To Be Beautiful – A little presumptuous, but hell, I’m sure God’s breath smells fabulous!!
I could keep going, but I won’t. And don’t get me wrong, I love my Dior. But the names, the ads, the famous people.. It’s funny, but a little annoying. When even 50 cent has his own fragrance, you know something is wrong!
What would you call your perfume if you had one? What fragrances do you think have the most absurd names? Let me know in the comments!

Ciao. Cool job. I did not expect this on a friday night. This is a excellent story. Thanks!
haha, Beckham is so funny! I love him.
Good blog. I got a lot of great info. I’ve been keeping an eye on this technology for awhile. It’s fascinating how it keeps shifting, yet some of the core components remain the same. Have you seen much change since Google made their latest acquisition in the domain?
Good post and great blog. Keep it up.
Sipping a cup of coffee as the sun sets while reading this. Just wanted to comment that I really enjoyed your post here. Thanks!
