Club De Nuit Lionheart Woman

The bottle is the only thing wrong with this fragrance, it’s the best one if you’re after BG. I’ve just received this after owning Angham and Athena for the past year.. here are my thoughts which should explain how I got here. 1. Angham: this is where I started. Yeah it’s long lasting, it’ll take months to get to the 8-hour mark but it does. I didn’t like the drydown as all traces of lavender disappear and you’re left with this cheap smelling vanilla and praline combo. 2. Athena: I heard it is closer to BG, so I got it while I still had Angham. Sold it almost 4 months later as even though it’s closer, it’s only good for about 2 hours and it’s gone, like a ghost, gone. 3. Lionheart Woman: FINALLY. I wish I got this sooner, but the misleading TikTok reviews had me thinking that it’s a closer copy to the BG Intense version which annoys me with its patchouli. No, LW is the closest to the OG Burberry Goddess, it is in fact spot on without the woody drydown in BG. It is 10x stronger than Angham. Ignore the comments saying otherwise, they’ve received very new bottles which haven’t had the time to blend properly. The lavender and ginger stays in the background giving it this fresh expensive feeling while the vanilla and cacao mix stay shining throughout. It’s not unisex imo, but err..

Wow, this is so great, such an amazing versatile vanilla. In the opening i get like a detergent fresh vanilla, ginger and lavender, but not that lavender is a soft and sweet one not herbal like it can sometimes be. The vanilla is soft and subtle and the ginger adds the freshness. It's refreshing, like putting on a freshly washed shirt. after a while the vanilla comes through more, it starts getting warmer and richer but is still balanced by the ginger, that while being a bit sweet still cuts through it with its distinct freshness. The lavender takes a back seat but is somewhat noticible. As it completely dries down vanilla dominates, rich, warm and sweet. Ginger is still there keeping the fragrance not warm and cloying enough to be considered as a "winter fragrance", still keeping it fresh enough to be an all year round one. The dry down vanilla is a teeny tiny bit similar to Golden Sand by Al-Rehab, its like if GS wasn't cloying and much more refreshing. This is a perfect compromise to those who search for an all year round vanilla, sweet enough for winter and fresh enough for summer. The performance is good, I pull a solid 8h longevity with a moderate projection, it's definitely not loud, but it's not a skin scent in any way, just a perfect balance.

After having let this sit for several months I began wearing it yesterday. I'm wearing it again today. I find the opening screechy. It seems that in an attempt to make this bright, it was made sharp and harsh instead. After dry down, the fragrance becomes a nice soft sweet Rich vanilla fragrance. It lasts a long time. In fact, I wore it to bed last night, and when I woke up I could still smell it on my skin. I'm not so concerned about the lion imagery on the bottle. There's nothing wrong with a design made in the image of a beautiful animal. This is a very nice addition to the club de nuit line. I'm in for more flankers.

Got my hands on this and I’m pleasantly surprised. This is a nicely balanced vanilla fragrance. The coolness of the lavender really adds something unique. It’s not too overpowering, it just adds a nice crisp element. Lovely hint of spice but overall smells cooler rather than warm, which is my preference. Can’t wait to see how this develops after it spends sometime on my shelf. Very much a crowd pleasing perfume. Unisex imo

I have both and the performance of Lionheart blows Angham out of the park. Scent wise I prefer this as the lavender is more pronounced making the vanilla combo more unisex and very slightly more masculine. Very balanced fragrance overall.
