Beyonce Knowles began her career with the girl-group Destiny’s Child, but has since seen her individual career launch into the stratosphere while the rest of the group ply their trade in McDonald’s. After hitting the big-time with songs such as Independent Women and Bootylicious, Beyonce made the leap to solo success in 2003 with the chart-topping Crazy in Love and, by the time Destiny’s Child disbanded in 2006, Beyonce had established herself as the only member of the group likely to remain in the public eye.

Beyonce is now one of the most recognisable names in music, continuing to churn out hit after hit, and has also made the transition to a Hollywood star, garnering critical acclaim for her role in 2006’s Dreamgirls. Her first fragrance, the award-winning Heat, was launched in 2010 to rave reviews and huge sales, and now Beyonce is back with a new scent for 2011, Heat Rush.

I’ve managed to get hold of one for myself, and I think Heat Rush is a gorgeous fragrance, just perfect for the lovely weather that we’re having at the moment. It is a more vibrant and sparkling take on the original Heat, and is set to be one of the big fragrances of the 2011 Summer. The perfume contains notes of passion fruit, Brazilian cherry, and blood orange to open; a heart of mango, orange hibiscus, and orchid; and base notes of amber, musk, and woods to leave a sensual trail. We have it available in two sizes at Fragrance Mad: the 30ml Eau de Parfum is £19.79, while the 50ml is £24.79, and comes with a stylish Beyonce clutch bag as a free gift. Snap some up now to ensure you’re the envy of any dancefloor come the Summer holiday season!
