Little Sister in Feminine and Sexy
... instead of girly and teen.
That's how I perceive the scent. I was surprised when I sprayed it on; I can clearly smell the rose. In the reviews before my purchase, I always read about an extreme gourmand, chocolate, vanilla, patchouli - but nothing about the rose.

During the drydown, I did catch the sweet sensuality of the treats in my nose, especially vanilla, but it’s not as sweet as the big sister.
The rose makes everything mature; overall, the composition doesn’t make me think I’m smelling a cheap teen fragrance.
No, I find Heat Kissed very grown-up and sexy, more suitable for evenings out or outside in the cold winter.
It surprises and doesn’t immediately remind me of the big sister, Heat, but they do look a bit similar, the two.

The scent is definitely worth a sniff, and in my opinion, there’s no need to fear the label of celebrity fragrance/teen fragrance.

Like a well-known cream ...
Before I delve into the connection with the well-known cream, let’s talk about the scent in general...

It smells very high-quality, rosy, creamy, and pleasing. I wouldn’t describe it as fresh, zesty, or youthful, but rather noble and deep. Yet not heavy.

As a wearer, you might not think so, but it pleasantly scents the entire room with a rosy aroma. Not a sweet artificial rose and not an old-fashioned one, but a "real," natural one.
Although it doesn’t smell youthful, it doesn’t smell outdated either; as mentioned, it’s more noble. I believe any woman can wear it.
At first, it reminds me a lot of the regular Izia. Then it transforms.

Now to my association with the cream...
After a short drydown, it smells to me like Nivea cream. The classic one in the blue and white metal tin. Really, I perceive the scent as if I just came out of a warm bath and have slathered this cream all over my body. Bathrobe on, cozy socks on, and off to the couch.
Cozy, comfortable, well-groomed.
And the look at the fragrance pyramid of the perfume agrees with me. The scent notes have a lot in common.
Would this be a cheaper alternative? For me personally: only in terms of scent, the performance of the Nivea perfume is unfortunately subpar. So ultimately: no.

Conclusion: Beautiful, noble scent with great quality. Definitely worth a try.

Very nice
This scent really reminds me, as mentioned in other comments, of Daisy by Marc Jacobs. It is so beautiful and delicate, clean, but not like laundry (at least that's what I think). Definitely floral.
Yet it smells mature, light, and refreshing. If you like Daisy, this is for you. But also for other lovers of floral, fresh scents.
You can't go wrong with it because you are beautiful, not annoying, remind me of someone nice, and are always sweet.
The price is unbeatable, and I think you still smell somehow expensive and high-quality with it.
Perfume "Made in France" simply has great quality.

It’s a cheapie that certainly hasn’t reinvented the wheel, but that doesn’t always have to be the case. A scent that doesn’t hurt, whether it’s when it’s empty because it’s not expensive or it’s not difficult to handle.
Gets my cheapie secret tip stamp.

If sandalwood smells like this...
... then I am blissful.
I was looking for "a somewhat different fragrance" - not just floral or sweet or fruity or fresh. There’s nothing wrong with those ever-popular scents, no, not at all. Still, every now and then I feel the urge to try something different, something unusual, to make my fragrance wardrobe more special.
Jeremy recommended it as a good celebrity scent, and after some research, he convinced me.

And oh, it is so beautiful. It smells so soft and woody. About as soft as sandalwood looks. A light wood, growing in warm regions.
The benzoin and vanilla give it a pleasant, cozy sweetness. The vanilla doesn’t come across as overpowering, but rather soft, nothing stands out harshly.
It’s not heavy, but it’s not light either; you can definitely smell it.
I think you can also perceive the saffron in the opening, which is a bit harsher. However, it calms down, and then the wood comes along with the vanilla and benzoin. In the end, the base notes dominate.
Saffron and sandalwood crushed with vanilla pod and crushed benzoin.
The scent is lovely, cuddly, warm, present, soft, high-quality, and not boring. Special!

I don’t think it smells masculine. If anything, it’s unisex - men can certainly wear it. A woman can wear it well; I have no doubt about that.

The bottle is fitting: a microphone. The cap is shaped like a mic, and the "woven metal" on top looks like a microphone grille.
The black spray tube is also playful, which transports the fragrance upwards when sprayed; it’s black, like a cable on a mic. I really like this attention to detail.

The juice is quite oily when sprayed on the skin - this gives me the impression of quality, as sandalwood is oily, I feel that rich and good wood has been used. Of course, this could just be a marketing trick ;)

Conclusion: I love it. I have never smelled anything comparable. It is so special and beautiful.

Bubble Tea
To me, it smells like spring and bubble tea.
But not the red one with the yellow pearls, rather the yellowish/whitish one with green pearls. Sweet, but not overly sweet. Incredibly juicy (the Asian pear sends its regards). I also find that there's a slight plastic-like lip gloss scent, a bit synthetic, but somehow it fits well with the bubble tea. Cheerful, fruity, fresh, bright. I like it :)
However, for me, it has no resemblance to the original, which is more mature and completely different.
