Burberry Brit by Burberry

What a beautiful, delicate, and addictive blend of almond, pear, and vanilla. It’s warm, opening fresh with green lemon before the dominant notes emerge. I struggle to pick out the declared notes, but I don’t need to; Brit won me over instantly with its cheerful, simple charm. It’s subtly sweet, inoffensive, has no invasive sillage, and just brings joy. Very versatile, though in extreme heat I prefer layering it so it doesn’t overwhelm. The downside is longevity: about 3 hours on skin, so I spray it on clothes. I wish it lasted longer, but it’s a fantastic and hard-to-find scent these days.

Very good perfume for the low price. To my taste, it has a great balance between sweet and fresh. It’s one of those scents that makes you feel comforted.

I just bought it and don’t understand why it has such great reviews. The opening doesn’t work for me; it’s not lemon to me, but something more masculine like lavender. In the dry down, I detect vanilla and roasted almonds, and I don’t get how, since they already listed caramelized almonds, they finish with sugar. It’s too much for me. It has excellent longevity on clothes, but the sillage isn’t very wide, which I appreciate. I’ll save it for winter to see if I like it more; for now, it’s a NO, though the price is very affordable.

Burberry Brit is perfect for everything. What a beautiful perfume, a simple composition with something citrusy, something floral, and something sweet, without any heavy notes. It’s sweet without being cloying, the definition of versatility, suitable for any season and occasion, perhaps except the most special ones. Performance is average, and projection is for personal enjoyment at a very moderate cost, around $35. Who will like it: everyone.

I find it very versatile, suitable for daytime and any season. It has that citrusy-sweet blend that I adore. Although it doesn’t have extreme longevity, its staying power and sillage are quite acceptable. Curiously, it’s the perfume that compliments me the most, especially men; I wouldn’t have thought it would succeed being so simple, but it does. I finished my 50ml bottle and restocked with the 100ml at a great price (around 35 euros). For the quality, it’s a steal considering current designer perfume prices.

The perfect all-rounder: it lifts your mood and fits any occasion. Simple, pleasant, and reliable. Fruity citrus notes give way to sweet almonds and vanilla, keeping a hint of lemon at the base. It’s sweet and powdery, ideal for cold weather. Good projection and sillage; people sometimes ask what I’m wearing. Sweet without being cloying, I love it.

Smells incredible, but the longevity is a disappointment; a body splash lasts longer. I love Burberry scents, but something is off in their formulations. I wouldn’t buy it again, though I do really like it.

Santa brought it to me, and I loved it from Christmas day. Lime and pear opening; the lime persists through the dry-down while the pear fades. Once dried, the sugary almonds and vanilla add warmth without being heavy. Moderate sillage (about a meter). Medium longevity, around 6 hours, but for the affordable price (~30€), it’s great. Even though it was a gift, I’d buy it again.

I bought it blindly in 100ml after reading a lot. Upon application, a noticeable but not piercing citrus that yields to a nice, almond-like sweetness. It’s a curious and pretty blend: seems citrusy at first but changes quickly. It’s sweet without being gourmand, fresh without being pure citrus, and easy to wear. I use it for work and get compliments; it’s noticeable. It’s a perfect modern classic. I recommend it 100%.

I bought it blindly online along with three others at low prices. Huge disappointment: it smells like a light cologne that evaporates in minutes. The opening is very masculine and the faint almonds disappear quickly. For me, it’s a ghost perfume. I suppose it just doesn’t match my pH. What a pity, 100ml left to sit unused.

I’m completely in love with this fragrance. On my skin, lime dominates at first until it dries down to a mouth-watering note; I reapply it whenever I can because I adore that clean, creamy, sparkling citrus scent. Perfect for spring and summer, the only downside is I think the longevity doesn’t last past 2-3 hours (I’ve had to reapply). I can’t stop getting compliments wherever I go; it has a nice trail beyond the arm but isn’t invasive or annoying. I think everyone will love it. Great discovery bought blind just based on reviews.

I wish I had gotten this when it was supposedly more long-lasting. I love the scent, but the longevity is limited and the sillage is small. I have a 2021 version. The lime and almond opening is unmatched and very rich, with a sharp, rough tone that I really like; that continues before adding vanilla and sweetening the perfume a bit more. It smells clean and is a true all-rounder if you don’t know what to wear. I’ve worn it all year, mainly during the day, but I think it stands out at work because it’s friendly to other people’s noses. I’ve bought a second bottle because I spray a lot. I love its versatility; it makes choosing among so many perfumes easy, and I’m always satisfied.

I was looking for a casual daily perfume. I have Quatre, but that’s more floral; 212, but that’s more powdery; Chanel, but that’s very elegant; and a Dior that doesn’t last. I tried many others I didn’t have yet, but they were all missing something. I like citrus, but my skin hates them; they turn into a disgusting smell. However, this one, even though it says lemon, turns fresh on my skin. What was missing in the other samples was a clean scent, which I assume comes from the peony and cedar, juicy sugar pear without being cloying. I’d lie if I said I smell the almond because I can’t stand that blend at all. Edit: The scent felt familiar to me; today I realized it’s the innocent son, the daytime version of Armani Code for Woman… (clarifying that my Burberry is the reformulated version).

It doesn’t resemble the 2003 version at all. The current one just makes me feel like drinking a very sugary lemonade with patchouli (because this version has patchouli, I don’t know to what degree, but it does). It’s still versatile, but unfortunately, it’s not even half of what it used to be.
