Shine Heidi Klum for women

I agree with another commenter, I dont know why there are so many bad reviews. This perfume smells great, if anything it is mostyly powdery and then a little bit sweet, and addicting. When ever I wore this perfume I always recieved compliments, and to be honest Hiedi makes the best celebrity and most different celebrity perfumes out their, deff worth a try

If you love vanilla, creamy and honey suckle scents this one is for you. It is most certaintly not a typcial fruity floral, but its not nasty its a deep- not old lady- scent that smells great and the great thing is that although its a celb perfume you will be the only one wearing it

This doesn't smell very interesting to me, plain, ordinary, there is a reason it is sold for cheap in drugstores I can't imagine Heidi Klum Would be wearing it, but German brands are rather plain and un -creative. Cannot detect any notes, vaguely floral, vaguely whatever you think it is.

It's funny to see how many people dislike this scent! This smells so lovely on me! It has some similarities with Poison, but this one is lighter. I get a seductive, sweet blend between tonka bean and vanilla with a hint of light musk. It kinda smells like sun tanned skin! I like it and I'm definitely thinking of getting a bottle.

So many bad reviews? I don't get it... lol. It might be a generic scent, a scent that is definitely not unique, a scent that has many twins out there in perfumeworld... But it is not bad, it's a creamy sweet vanilla scent. I saw this on a very cheap offer today (50 ml + 200 ml bodylotion for 12 euros). I did not buy it, but I did test the scent at the counter just before I left the store... and it made me sniff my hand over and over again. Really not bad at all, but I would indeed never pay the regular price for it. However, I wished I did pick up the giftset for 12 euros though ;)

Two weeks later... I picked it up... ;)

I'm almost shocked at all the negative reviews this has received. This smells absolutely devine. It goes to show; one's nose is like no one elses. As most of my perfumes, I purchase unsniffed simply because there are better prices and options available online. I usually trust my sense of notes and mixtures and decided to try this out, plus it was super cheap on Amazon (although they don't start out very pricey either). As I'm not currently wearing it, it's very for me to pinpoint the different notes. I find it to be an anytime, anywhere, any season perfume. It would wear just as well in the winter, as in the summer. It's clean and bright, perhaps the "Shine" aspect. This one is a winner me personally.

This is not a pleasant fragrance. It is strong, potent and heavy. It smells like a cheap imitation of Poison.

I find it so funny the toss up between love and hate with this perfume.

I defiantly am one of those people who actually like this perfume. I sprayed it on in the store once, and just couldnt stop smelling it - I loved it so much. I went home that night to read the reviews on it, the notes, to quickly learn that its not a very popular scent.

I think it mixes well with my skin, maybe. Something about it always uplifts my mood, makes me feel like getting ready and going out on a date! To me, its a very classy smell even if it is a cheap perfume.

Since smelling it I have boughten some mini travel sized bottles that I loved to use whenever. I actually just recieved a gift set for christmas because everyone pretty much knows I'm a fan of this perfume ha.

I just got this for the second time, for 4$ on Ebay (!), i like it even more than the first time around, maybe because it reminds me of last Christmas. It's a great winter perfume, my only complain is that it does smell a little cheap, but then again - couldnt expect anything better for the price..

Just let me start with this statement, not everyone's skin is alike, so with that being said, I like it and I get lots of men compliments on it, I'm a strong woman and can pull of the masculine notes and turn it into a feminine sent, kinda musky powdery towards the end of the day, very good to wear to the office, so it's different on everybody, it's really good for a change…silage is all day good!..:P

UPDATE: Try the set, it may work better for you…:P

A lovely perfume,pleasure to wear,smells similar to shakira 'elixir' perfume.

i actually really love this. on me it's a creamy, not overly sweet vanillaish scent. some wood and pink pepper give it a little spice. i find it feminine and i don't agree with the negative reviews. it's not guerlain, but it is a nice perfume. i will find it pleasing to wear during fall and winter.

Had to actually get a bottle of this to realize I loved it.It starts off like every other Oriental celeb perfume but on the drydown becomes a warm and slighly spiced vanilla.I think-like others have said-the name is misleading a bit as I expected a more citrus based perfume.I find this to be very comforting and am gonna use the heck out of it in cooler weather.I hated it on the first try and think it's worth a shot to try again if you veer toward Oriental scents.Love-now I just need the body wash and lotion:)

I don't tend to go for drugstore or celebrity perfumes but I saw this one marked down at Target and took a chance. I was going through a break up and all my familiar favorite perfumes reminded me of my love so I was desperate to try something new. I am really I'm glad I did!

I am surprised with the harsh reviews of this fragrance. The opening is a bit uninteresting but it quickly gives way to a sweet, warm, comforting scent. I don't get anything too citrus-y after the drydown. It kind of reminds me of Lolita Lempicka in that once you get past the drydown, you get to a whole new scent that is sweet yet romantic and cozy.

I don't think it smells cheap at all. I think "Shine" can evoke different feelings for different people. Not oranges, not sunlight. For me, "shining" is not necessarily being the most successful or prettiest but being the most comfortable with myself. This scent is a cozy, comfortable fragrance that makes me feel lovely and mellow. Due to that, I think Shine is an appropriate name. It is comforting and soothing without being cloying. Has a nostalgic life to it, cozy home vibe, good soul, nothing intimidating or fierce. My future kids would probably like it.

The worst thing about this perfume is the name. Shine makes you expect a bright, summery scent. Shine is not that perfume.

Shine is a comfort scent. It opens floral with a hint of fruit. It quickly settles down to a luscious sweet , musky vanilla with a tinge of powder. It is the kind of perfume you reach for when you want a soothing scent. It is like a comfy sweater on a blustery day.

I can't imagine why the reviews are so bad. Shine is just beautiful. Its a keeper!

Hmm, well, the reviews are pretty bad, but I don't agree with most of them. I didn't have really high expectations, so I am ok with this perfume. I thought it would be a sparkling floral because of the name and the bottle for some reason. It is not. It is a warm, spicy, sweet vanilla type scent and I really like it. It is woodsy, and I love woodsy scents. I wore it today to run errands, and it has lasted and I have had a dozen compliments. It does not deserve the bad reviews. Well worth the price. If you want a creamy, woodsy, spicy lasting vanilla, try this.

I am still using this perfume and I still like it. I mix it with Elizabeth Arden's Fith Avenue After5 and Style and sometimes Nights. They mix well together and give this one a little umph. Sometimes I spray it lightly over the top of Ed Hardy's original one or Versace Crystal Noir. My husband loves the smell and I have had a few compliments maybe it is a bad perfume but it suits my skin I am not sure but I like it and cannot see why people dislike it so much. I have tried the new summer version. Appart from some extra citrus in the initial spray it pretty much dries down the same as the original version. There are a few ladies in the perfume store where I got it from who said they have it and like it so it must be an acquired taste. I tried it with Halle Berry's first perfume Halle and I liked that too this one gives it a little spice mixed with the honey sweetness of Halle.

I am not a fan of Coty for any perfumes. This perfume considering its source is pretty nice. Im not sure I would buy a bottle again though. But all things considered this is very unique scent with a nice mix of vanilla and other things mixed like a strong musk scent. Very different and nothing like it that I know of, thats one of the only things it has going for it, is nothing else is like it that I could place that is familiar. Nice scent all in all.

Had a completely different reaction upon retesting this-it's actually quite a pretty scent.I think the key is to not overspray like I did the first time.I can really get the vanilla,tonka and musk this time around and while I won't be buying it right now I think this would be awesome for the cooler months:)
Just wanted to add I get no florals from it either and very little citrus...

I think it's high time that it became compulsory for all female celebrities to release a new fragrance every 12 months.

I love this perfume :D It smells like lemonade and ice cream at first then dries down to a sweet, creamy vanilla. Reminds me of a warm summery evening on the beach!

Love it! On me it smells first like lemonade and ice cream, then dries down to a creamy vanilla. I have already used half of my bottle of Shine and I have to say it's one I wear every day. It reminds me of a warm summer evening by the beach!

The sunflower and tonka bean really stands out here, then goes to a figgy sweetness. It's heavy and sweet in ways I dont prefer my purfumes to be, but that is personal taste more than anything. But, it's not bad and it beats some of the other celeb frags out there. It's an interesting scent, to be sure! Just not my preferred taste.

I dont get all the bad reviews on this one. Well, everyone cant like everything because we all have different taste. I hae to say I love this fragrance, it is not ordinary at all to me, it has it's own unique scent, kinda like Red Door.

I don't mind this perfume. It's not something I would buy again. It actually is something I could see my mother in law wearing. On me it's very musky smelling. I also feel it's more of a evening scent. Not to something really fancy but a nice dinner out or possibly a dinner party.

I was able to pick this up on sale today for a very cheap price so I figured if I hated it I was not going to be out alot of money and I could give it to a friend if need be. Turns out I actually really like it. I see the reviews are very mixed on this but I have to admit it is quite nice. On my skin I get a creamy delicious musky almost tropical vibe. I can faintly detect the pear in the background and I get no florals at all. It really smells cozy, delicious and warm. So far it has lasted for 4+ hours and counting. Not bad Heidi!

I just sprayed it on and so far it smells nice.

I hate this scent! I wanted to try this out because it was from Heidi Klum, one of my favorite models. She promised a fragrance that wouldn't be generic of fruity-vanilla smelling. While she kept that promise, the juice was just overpowering and too masculine! I couldn't identify any notes because of the power! I expected better from Heidi Klum...

I just got this today as a gift, along with the shower gel and body cream. I absolutely love it!!! Goes to show you how a scent can morph into a lovely cashmerish- coconut whiff or a nasty generic vanilla. I am so disappointed by all the negative reviews. I love Lolita Lempika and s.t. about Shine reminded me of the warm musky and spicy drydown. Anyways, I am glad to have it. It turns into a soft velvety skin scent with little sillage but great staying power. I will probably layer it with another fragrance which will turn this scent into a luscious gourmad xxx

The two reviews below are speaking my mind, I am also slightly disappointed, but then again, I got this for less than 10$ on Ebay so I didnt expect anything extraordinary.It's a little bit masculine, spicy, vanilla is what I smell the most, not much of anything floral as they say in description. It's a cheap celebrity fragrance that the developers didnt spend much time on, but its worth my "change" for this winter :)

Shine is an odd perfume. Sometimes I find I really like it, but other times I can't stand it. It's a very masculine scent, with musk being the predominant note. You may get a small whiff of vanilla, but not much of anything else. Also, I tested this perfume on my wrist, it lasted an hour, then disappeared. I wouldn't mind owning a small bottle, but I think it would just be money wasted because of the lasting power. Very disappointing.

I love this perfume. Ordinarily I wear Obsession for women and was looking for something much lighter for day wear. For me woodsy musk scents are best. If you take the Macy's online perfume finder quiz you'll find there are very few woodsy perfumes available and none of this quality in this price range. After it has had time to react with my skin, it has a soft woodsy, almost new leather under tone with vanilla, spice, and a just a touch of floral on top that lasts all day.

Didn't get the floral,vanilla or anything fruity in this scent..What I did get was a headache..If your prone to headache's from fragrances,this might give you a whopper.

I picked up a celebrity roller set at the drugstore so I could give away rollers as gifts this christmas, this was one of the perfumes included in the set.
I'm a bit disappointed. I'm not really sure who to give it to... and I'm pretty sure my mom bought ME the same set for a stocking stuffer. I'm not sure what I'll do with it.
its just a very in your face sent...

Jessica Simpson's fragrances far outshine Heidi Klum's? Whoda' thunk it.:)

This is a heavy fragrance...I think because of the pink pepper and tonka.I thought this was going to smell like a clean type of floral. The name and the scent don't go together...It's not a pretty scent.

Don't think that wearing Heidi Klum Shine would make you smell like Heidi Klum, more like somebody from Jerry Springer.
Ordinary, very cheap, headache inducing and annoying fragrance.

This is not a fine and pleasant scent, nothing knew or special, just boring and cheap. The name Heidi Klum is not a promise for a great scent.

this one's been talked about so much, the upcoming that is....and the final product is not that great. weird smelling. dry musk, mimose and sunflower, wth? well, that's exactly it, the wrong ingredients that do not compliment each others. did not expect this from heidi, as she's always the crazy fun gal that's all smiles? this makes me go into olfactory shock.

I am suprised at the negative reviews here. I only noticed this recently at priceline and I sprayed it and thought it was plain. It is warm, slightly coconutty and vanilla with a slight spice to it. It lasts a long time on my wrist. I got a bottle and when I wore it out that night a few people said You smell nice what's that? They didn't realise Heidi has a perfume and I must say I didn't I just happened to see it. I find it in offensive. To say like some have that it is horrible surprises me. That's your view of it and that's fine but I certainly haven't noticed it to be so bad maybe I will the more I use it not sure?

I hope Heidi isn't a contestent on a perume making reality show, surely she'd be ''sent home'' early. I was actually suprised how less than average her perfume is. Not impressed at all :/
Not even the slightest bit interested!!! She'd never wear this crap!

The negative reviews here are NOT all alike, which leads me to believe almost anyone would agree, this isn't much of a perfume. I love Coty, but I must agree that this scent is just a grab for money. Ms Klum however, I don't watch Project Runway, but maybe she'll be more forgiving when she critiques on the show. I must say that even though I don't like this scent so much, I don't find it offensive at all. I sniffed my wrist a couple times when I tried it and just never tried a third time. I wonder if it might smell nice on someone else that wears this?

I was given a bottle as a gift recently, and while I wouldn't buy it myself I'm happy with it.
It's pretty, sweet, and ordinary.

Yes, I do like it, it's just not something I'd rush out to replace. It is not a perfume I would associate with Heidi Klum, her perfume "Heidi Klum" from years ago is much better.

When I first tried it, on a cool evening, it was very much a girly "fruity gourmand" perfume. Heavy on the fruit and vanilla, and light on the musk and spice. Slight traces of floral... not the Lily of the Valley, more the Mimose.

Today however, it's a beast! All Musk and Tonka, a trace of pepper or spice, barely any citrus or floral to mention. I might add that it's currently 30c and the humidity is very high.

Similar to Britney Spears' Fantasy or one of those "pink sugar" perfumes. I also liken it to DKNY Candy Apples, the one in the red bottle. It is also very close to Coty's Desperate Housewives Forbidden Fruit... it could be the same with more musk. Maybe they are trying to get rid of old stock by giving it a revamp?? LOL!

Definitely not a hot weather, day time perfume, unless you really want to stand out in a crowd of sweaty folk. And I suppose that's what perfume was originally for, ne?

Not the worst, but not the best. An OK, cheaper perfume. Worth a try. Especially, as ChouliGaloria put it, if you are in a hurry for a few quick, cheap essentials that you wouldn't be too upset to leave behind when you left ;-)

I would have expected better from Heidi Klum, but I'm sure this will add to her coffers and assist her in her retirement :-)

Very smooth but synthetic vanilla and pear. Its warm and fresh, and its nicely sweet with something sharp (pepper?). It's kinda fruity but it will get more (mimosa) floral as it lingers. There is no spice but plenty of sunshine. Unfortunately, it also quickly disappears.

Despite all the bad reviews, this is not horrible. It's not great, but not horrible. Am I the only one that detects a bit of coconut in here? I'm not even sure what it is, maybe coconut. The citrus disappears almost immediately, then I smell vanilla and some florals. By drydown, it becomes sweeter, the florals are very faint, and I can smell mostly musk and a bit of vanilla.

Really, really sub-standard. It smells like Sweet Honesty the ancient cologne from Avon. I tried the tester at a Target and was less than impressed. It may be fine for a very young girl, but I would not recommend it for anyone else. It didn't last and I could not wait to wash of the residual smell. It's certainly a no go for me. It's nothing compared to the perfumes Heidi has in Europe. It seems like just an effort to get the name out there and the quality and standard is lacking. It just drives the point home why Coty perfumes are not something you want to spend your money on.

I bought this perfume today. Why? Because I liked it. It's actually a nice and pretty drugstore celebrity scent.
I bought the small 15 ml sized (1/2 ounce) EdT for $10 at a Rite Aid drugstore. The spray bottle is demure too.
Shine is a mild and sweet oriental perfume that does smell like a perfume. Nonoffensive and modern woman-like too. The perfume also has a tiny Thierry Mugler Angel accord in it's makeup. Just a touch. My nose also detected a little bit of patchouli and I can pick up on the pleasantly sweet floral notes. The sillage is low key and the longevity of this EdT is a few hours.
If you're a lady in a hurry and you stopped at the drugstore to pick up a few travel or overnight-at- the-man's-place necessities AND you also wanted a pretty perfume to wear and smell good, then give the Heidi Klum Shine a try. It's worth it.

I noticed Shine at a local mall today and decided to give it a try although I hadn't heard of it before but it was something new and kind of an interesting.
At first I smelled fresh citruses but it got sweeter only seconds later. I quite liked the combination of fresh citruses and sweet pear. Later the scent gets more sweeter first with florals and later with the vanilla. But it's the donka bean that makes the scent more interesting to me with it's oriental vibe.
I wouldn't call it a boring scent but to be honest it does not smell very original and unique. Reminds a lot of Avon's perfumes (which I mostly like).
But it's very warm and comforting and I'd wear it if I'd get it as a gift but I'm not going to buy it.

I tried the tester @ a local Rite -Aid after being told @ Macy's they were not going to carry it. I was disappointed to say the least. The opening is very sweet and that sweetness pretty much stays thorough out the whole process. It smells incredibly cheap and the drydown on me was very much like Angel; A thoroughly nauseating fragrance. What a shame because I expected something completely different from her.

This fragrance is not awful but it is definitely boring and smells like another fragrance I can't quite put my finger on. It reminds me actually of a lot of fragrances, with one being Lolita Lempicka but not even close to being as well constructed. Suprisingly uninspiring.

This is a very beautiful fragrance its soft romantic and very sensual.Its like sunshine in a bottle it totally what I would imagine Heidi wearing.She said she was inspired by 4711 as her father worked there and she loved that scent.It has some influence from 4711 but more softer and wearable.I am impressed with this the price is reasonable the bottle is creative the ad is lovely.I can't wait to buy it.
Edit:
I was so ready to buy this but when I retested it I wasn't impressed.It started off kind of strong reminds me of another fragrance not sure which one yet.Then it dried down very clean quiet boring as another reviewer said.Lasting power was pretty poor.The bottle is so cute the fragrance not so much.It is like an Avon fragrance its nice but nothing special.

I agree with chriscrandall. I was surprised at all of the negative reviews because I really like it. It's soft, creamy and feminine. A bit fruity, sweet, but not over the top sweet, with a gently floral feel. The opening is almost peachy, the middle is a bit powdery and does develope a very slight masculine edge but the dry down returns to the beginning with the addition if vanilla. I don't get musk at all. The silage becomes low after the first 30min. with wafts of it on the air, and then becomes a bit stronger again for the dry down. Lasting power is great, several hours. I really enjoy Shine. There's something almost LB Tempore Donna about it. Give it a try before you make up your mind.

Yawn. I think it should have been called Citrus No Shine. It is made out to be a warm vanilla scent and I don't get that AT ALL. This smells like hair spray to me...very synthetic. I was not disappointed, however, because I did not have high expectations for this scent.

On me this is too floral and kinda smells like an old Avon perfume I hated (the name escapes me), a scrubber for sure!!! Maybe this will smell good on a floral lover, I'm not a fan of florals.

A little "already done" and safe but not horrific by any means. No need to race to the drug store to try it.

Dieser duft ist so langweilig! Es riecht sehr billig. Ich bin damit einverstanden, hat Frau Klum nicht wahr machen, um ihr Versprechen.

Translation: This perfume is so boring! It smells very cheap. I agree, Frau Klum did not make true to her promise.

Just another celebrity stench from Coty, standard issue. "Shine" is proof that the once esteemed House of Coty has completely surrendered innovation and quality to make a buck exploiting anyone who has a few minutes left on Mr. Warhol's clock. This seems to be a generic celebrity oriental: vanilla and some unidentifiable flowers. It's so bland and unimaginative you can't tell what's in it. My little brother used to make more interesting stink bombs with his chemistry set. Every molecule of "Shine" smells cheap and synthetic. Ironically, on "Project Runway" Ms. Klum often disdainfully calls someone's effort "cheap". Even the bottle is bad: it looks like a piece of junky jewelry

Imitation Giorgio of Beverly Hills, and not a very good one.

This was extremely masculine on me-what a letdown:(

IMO Heidi did not keep her promise. To me it's a very alcoholic, citrusy and herbal scent....and typical drugstore.

I thought this had promise at first but in about an hour it got horribly bitter - kind of like bug spray.

Such a boring scent, we have hundrets of them! Beautiful openning, after 2 minutes it turns into the boring citrussy-drugstore scent. I tryed it only because of Aurelien Guichard.
Do not waste your time with it!
