Heated

Heated is a women's eau de parfum from Ann Summers. The brand page that is still live is for the 10ml purse spray, and 100ml bottles are listed by retailers. The brand says it is infused with pheromones, which is a marketing claim, and describes a pocket-sized confidence boost for the woman who wants to feel bold, magnetic and irresistible, in an intoxicating blend of blackcurrant, leather and sandalwood. The brand page lists top notes of blackcurrant, coconut and nutmeg, middle notes of heliotrope, leather, orris and rose, and base notes of incense, musk, patchouli and sandalwood, and the 100ml retailer listings match it. Read by its notes, it should open with dark, jammy fruit and warm spice, move into a powdery, leathery rose heart, and settle into a smoky, woody base. Those are readings of the notes, not wear-test results. The 10ml bottle is a slim red-to-black glass tube with a black cap, and its only brand photo is of that size, so the picture is the purse spray and not the 100ml bottle. The brand lists it as vegan and cruelty-free. No perfumer or launch year is named. Community comment comes from two forum posts in November 2024. One poster says a boyfriend loves it, calling it heavy nutmeg and blackcurrant with sandalwood. Another says a partner finds it makes him giddy, and that it smells deep and sensual but lacks lasting power. The brand page now shows the 10ml out of stock and one retailer lists the 100ml as no longer available, so it may be discontinued. A pick for evenings and cooler weather for people who like a dark fruity, spicy and woody scent.
