Body Eau de Toilette

Aromatic & Green Chypre with Peach Tea drydown... This is another contemporary interpretation of a chypre from master perfumer Michel Almairac. Opens with a burst of wormwood-chypre and dries down to peach-tea and cashmere. In the first couple of minutes after the spray dries, I can the feel the fruity green-apple & peach accented by the bitter-green, herbal & aromatic tones of wormwood. Wormwood here reads a little like a greener oakmoss with a dash of incense to my nose. Already the rose & tea are swelling through. As it transitions to the heart the rose & tea move forward and sandalwood adds a woody sweetness. This all rests on a fluffy musk & Cashmere wood base with hints of amber-vanilla. Performance is well above average. Contrast to Body by Burberry EDP: Also composed by Michel Almairac, these are very similar, although the EDT is slightly less sweet, and the tannic component is more obviously a tea note. Both are well above average performance-wise. Contrast to Body Tendre by Burberry: Also composed by Michel Almairac, these are very similar, although Body Tendre is more rose forward. Both are well above average performance-wise. Overall: gorgeous green, aromatic chypre with peach-tea drydown and well above average performance that becomes beast mode when layered over its matching body lotion. It's a longtime love for me. Enjoy!

Ahh yes... This is my favorite version of the Burberry Body line! The original was too heavy for me, but the EDT version strikes just the right pitch. It's an amped up clean skin scent on me - the apple is definitely there, but it's more tart than sweet, lending a crispness to the scent. Peach and rose are definitely prominent, just like the pyramid suggests. The original could definitely come across as a more "mature" scent, while I find the EDT much more versatile. The powder and woods are toned down, but still present in the dry down. Essentially, this Body smells like a combination of freshly washed skin, lotioned up, with some natural rosy muskiness. Clean and comfortable and elegant. Lovely and feminine. And BONUS! I am in love with the oil spray, and the EDT is much more similar to the oil than the original EDP is. A few squirts of the oil and one spritz of the perfume and the fragrance envelops me in a comfortable hug that hints at something more.. Just a touch more intimate than friendly, not quite sensual, but the chemistry's there. ;) <3

I like the edt and the edp but it took awhile for me to get used to the edp. I assumed the edp would be better but i was wrong. This one, the edt, is better to me because the rose stands out more in this than in the edp. The edp has a really strong wormwood smell that is only deepened by the peach and its not good right away because of that. The edt on the other hand has the apple which opens the door for the rose to step in and use the wormwood as a doormat, which suits this scent far better. the depth of the edp is far more my style as it lingers thick around my body and i love that. Although the airy crisp rose is a stunner too in the edt as it dances around and envelops leaving a trail as well. Im glad to have both since i crave both quite often. They have actually replaced my beloved Spellbound which i never thought that could happen. Not cuz theyre similar scents but the essence of the fragrance is similar.

I really love the apple note in this fragrance, and it's the reason why I chose the EDT over the EDP. I think of Burberry Body EDT as an ideal professional scent. It's a perfect one to wear to a job interview, or on the first day of a promotion, or just any time you want to feel put together and get taken seriously. While this is a very pleasant perfume, it's also quite serious, making it a good fit for a more serious-type person. I'm a teacher, and this fragrance screams educational professional to me (think high school level teacher, school administrator, or even college professor). And while I wouldn't necessarily say that Body EDT has masculine vibes, it definitely leans unisex. Also, longevity and sillage are just as good, if not better, than a lot of EDPs. I get 6-8 hours wear from it on my skin, and it lasts all day on clothes.

This is a very lovely, fresh but warm, a bit unusual fragrance I think. I used to almost not feel that I had it on after a couple of hours, but then after a full workingshift at the nursing home when I walked by a couple of coworkers, they told me I was smelling so good. Sweaty and all..! 🙂 So I guess this goes well with my skin, then. But since I did not feel it so much myself, I went buying the edp. But unfortunately it’s a bit too strong for my nose - the absinthe, I think. So next time I will stick to this lighter version after all - I just have to respray a little, if needed!! And then I want the Tender version as well... maybe even more lovely. Well worth having both, I think! For spring and summer mostly.
