Heavenly Shine is a simple composition with vanilla as a centerpiece. The vanilla is a bit chemical, but it’s nice enough.
Like Whit and Flowercat mentioned, this is vaguely reminiscent of Dream Angels Forever, but this is fresher, less syrupy, and less powdery. Forever has blackberries, whereas this scent has nectarine. I really like both, but Forever has pretty excellent longevity and sillage. Heavenly Shine is more synthetic/chemical, lighter, and lasts maybe 4 hours applied after a good scrub in the shower. It lasts longer on clothing than skin.
I expected this to be girly and fun to wear, and that’s just what it is. It’s generic — no instant recognition here — but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Every girl needs a “no-brainer” in her fragrance collection. Sometimes I spend a little too much time trying to decide what perfume to wear — if it’s suitable for the weather, if certain notes will give me a headache that day, or if the person I plan to be around will like it. Heavenly Shine eliminates those time-consuming questions.
I’m wondering if I should buy the matching lotion. However, I have Dream Angels Forever lotion, Forbidden lotion, and Amber Romance lotion, and any one of those seem to work well layered underneath Heavenly Shine.
P.S. I’m by no means a sucker for bottle design, but I love the pink-and-clear ombre and silver trim. So fun.

i wanted this for a long time now i finally have it. Its perfect. I always find myself drawn to these vanilla fruity scents….i probably have like 10 perfumes that have similar notes in them but somehow they all smell different and lovely. This is definitely sweet but i can also smell the freshness of the floral coming through.

I’m wearing this for the first time today, and it’s pretty nice. I wish I’d had this at the start of summer, instead of fall. There is no reason it can’t be worn year round, but I can really see this being a nice summer scent. It’s sweet, and has a light syrup smell that I really like. Almost a canned peach smell.
I have Passport South Beach, and to me, this doesn’t smell like it. I actually far prefer Heavenly Shine. The bottle is nice too.

i went out with a friend last week and had this lying around i decided to try it out and it smells really nice! the nectarine is really noticable so if you like fruity scents, you’ll love this one. after the night ended, i took off my sweater and it smelled soo good. i’ll make sure to try to wear this more

Smells really sweet and good thanks to the nectarine and the vanilla. But today when i sprayed it on, it kind of smelled like “Passport South Beach” by Paris Hilton. PSB has nectarine too. Does anyone agree?

This smells like nectarine and vanilla, very sweet and soft. I barely detect the lotus. There is a very faint floral in the background, but it is so faint, it could be any flower. Although so simple, this smells very warm and pleasant. A feel good, cuddly scent.

I love how this perfume smells, however, I must agree that it does not last long even when layering.

This is my favorite scent from all Dream Angels perfumes. On my skin it smells like sugary powdery lemon! Mmmm! So delicious and gentle fragrance. On me it has good lasting power, even I use it without same lotion.

My friend has this and I got to sample it from her. As always, another crowd-pleaser from VS. Heavenly Shine follows the failsafe formula of fruit+sugar+vanilla. Pleasant scent of Nectarine with a slightly chemical Vanilla drydown. I like this, but it’s nothing memorable.

I honestly cant understand the positive reviews for this product! It smells like old watery fruit juice (on me at least) seriously it smells like the syrup canned peaches come in mixed with water. Not an attractive scent in my opinion. I wouldn’t want to smell like this all day and luckily due to its poor staying power, you wont have to.

Annual Sale……… 75% off!!!! woohoo!!!

Victoria Secret Dream Angels Heavenly Shine (holiday limited edition 2011) is light and sweet! Water lily, nectarine, and vanilla. The only problem is that it has absolutely no lasting power. Other than that, it smells great.

Heavenly Shine has all the qualities I loved about Dreams Angels Forever–the sweet soft vanilla blend, the freshness–without the things I didn’t love–the sharpness, the chemical drydown. Just bought it today, but so far I’m really happy with it. I actually seek out mild, pretty, simple sweet feminine scents, so any lack of uniqueness or head-turning notes is fine with me! Very,very pretty!

This is the best Dream Angels scent in my opinion. All the other Dream Angels scents smell really old lady-ish to me, but this one is geared towards the younger crowd. I’m really liking the citrus in this scent and it’s also fruity. Too bad it’s only limited edition 🙁

I wanted to try it for the hell of it, not expecting for it to be anything exciting. And it wasn’t.
VS is not known for making too many interesting or distictive fragrances and Heavenly Shine definately doesn’t stand out a whole lot. I get fruit note with some vanilla, and that’s about it. Its smells sweet and creamy. Overall, it smells nice but I could name several other fragrances that they have which have many simularities to this one-Gorgeous and Incredible for example. They are not exactly the same but have the same “vibe”. Lasting power is weak as most of VS scents, I got about 2 hours out of it. I would wear it if someone gave it to me as a gift but wouldn’t purchase this for myself.

Just went to vs today n sniff it out, it was pretty but nothing interesting about this.

I just ordered this yesterday on the VS site; it’s not the stores yet where I live. When it gets here, I will write a review on what it smells like.
EDIT: I finally got my order today. I ordered just the lotion, and it’s a sweet vanilla with hints of berries. It is nothing original, but a great fun to wear frag.I usually buy VS scents to wear to work because they aren’t very overpowering, but still smell nice. This is sweet, sexy-innocent, and feminine too. The vanilla is most predominant once it dries and it is somewhat sweet, so if you don’t like either, don’t buy it. However, if anyone found Dream Angels Forever too sweet, you might could try this one as it’s a little lighter. Hope this helps! 🙂
