Body Tender

Just for the sake of comparing Burberry Body to Burberry Body Tender, I think it is important to look at the differences in the two because they are similar in some ways, but different in other ways. Burberry Body has the bright, sharp green bubble gum type notes which have a super upbeat type vibe. This is great when you are needing your perfume to project energy and enthusiasm -- this is almost like a jolt of caffeine, something to give you a jump start to your day, refreshing, vibrant, up-lifting. As Burberry Body wears on the skin, it moves into a really nice relaxing type dry down. The ingredients are slightly different in Burberry Body - and Burberry Body Tender... Here are their shared ingredients which give the perfumes a common DNA smell: Wormwood Peach Rose Sandalwood Musk Cashmere Wood Amber Vanilla Burberry Body has the two notes Freezia and Iris added. Burberry Body Tender has the notes of Apple, Lemon, Tea, Jasmine added. Burberry Body Tender goes on very similar to how Burberry Body smells during its dry-down phase... when it relaxes more. Before realizing that they really do have different ingredients that make them smell unique, I would have assumed that they both carry the same basic Burberry Body DNA - and only differ slightly. But trying them on side by side, they both have unique smells which make them their own. There are times when you want a more calm, relaxing, low-key type perfume which is more of a sensual perfume. Burberry Body Tender is like Burberry Body with a glass of merlot wine, something that just takes the edge off. This is more romantic -- and yes, I think they chose the right word to express this... this is More TENDER. The only differences in the two bottles is the lettering of "Tender" to identify that beyond the original. Burberry Body and Burberry Body Tender share the same chord with similar notes, but the expression of mood is different. If you like one, most probably - you'll like the other. Burberry Body's silage and projection are about double of that of Tender, it has brighter notes that make up the chord. If Burberry Body calls attention to itself, Burberry Body Tender is a bit more shy, reserved, soft spoken - and whispers rather than shouts. Burberry Body Tender is like the soft focus watercolor or Monet painting type perfume, no harsh edges... Burberry Body Tender would be a good perfume to wear for nights watching Netflix on the couch with your significant other, a date night, or even to spritz before going to bed... you will probably even have more romantic dreams with this. Actually Burberry Body Tender would be a great signature perfume for the right woman. Both Burberry Body and Burberry Body Tender could be a signature perfume - using each perfume to reflect the mood that you are in at the time you spritz them. Burberry Body Tender is in the same type perfume genre as Sarah Jessica Parker's Lovely (the original) and Avon's Prima.

For the first time in the history of the Universe, I appreciate a perfume with rose in it. Well played, Burberry. I find the smell of roses usually artificial, but here it feels like fresh roses in bloom straight from the garden squeezed in a bottle, pretty amazing. The first time I sprayed on me, I hated the bitterness, didn't even wait to settle down and scrubbed it off, like, ew!! After months I decided to give it another try coz I remember it was musky after washing and I wanted to wake up to that, I'm a sucker for musk, so sprayed and went to bed with a book. The bitterness became less bitter, the rose softer, I got wafts of tea and lemon, which I love and started feeling cozy and happy, that's right, happy. And it was all about the fragrance coz I don't have any memory attached to it (and the book wasn't happy, quite the opposite). Next day I went to work wearing the perfume again and spent all day trying to catch wafts and playing 'guess the notes'. After 6 hours, I got vanilla, something sweet that wasn't vanilla, maybe amber, and the musk started to show his delicious smile. All that without losing the bitterness completely, but it was quite pleasant, all the first notes softly playing hide & seek. Now I'm in love and I call it my grown-up-but-not-very-mature fragrance. Update: "Day 7. I'm still wearing it. 2 days ago I finally got the apple note, it was like the actual fruit chopped, with a hint of jasmine, that's why it was so hard to spot. Not apple candy or tart as I expected. This journey doesn't cease to amaze me. Is it safe? Yes. Is it boring? Never! I wonder if I'll ever come back. If I don't... Tell my bank account... tell it... to forgive me."

Young girl who;s walking on a pedestrian precinct towards evening. All around are cafés with people who;re talking, the music is playing. The girl goes through and leaves a trail of this scent and all men and even women stop talking and start looking at her. The spring wind blows in her hair and every man here wants to get in her nearness but she isn;t any cheap girl, she has a personality. She continues with her graceful walk and in the end of the pedestrian she turns around and send a kiss in the air and blink with her eye to all around. And than disappers in the dark. She;s independent, confident, everyone wants to get closer to her but she can resist, she;s still "clean" like this scent. She can be playful but she knows the limits. She knows what she wants and know what does it mean to be classy and elegant yet still young. She;s the ONE. Haha that was my imagination but honestly this is such an amazing scent (after a long time). I sprayed it and immediately thought on a luxury soap. It;s very very nice, light, clean, slightly creamy but not that warm, more like some rose creaminess and the rose is kind of icy. I can smell the apple and some herbal touch which is probably the wormwood. It;s young but sophisticated and classy, no cheap water. Like a girl in a trenchcoat. It;s like a rosy soap with hints of apple and unripe peach, slightly bitter too. It leaves the trail behind you so it;s not extremely light. It stays very long on a skin and I appreciate it. The bottle is pretty also. Worth every penny. My new love. Thank you Burberry! :-)

Just wanted to let people here know that there are fakes of this out there. The review I left was for a good little decant I had, which made me go out and search for a full bottle as soon as I ran out. I found a really good deal from a private seller who claimed that it was an "unfitting gift" from her husband and she was selling a full, unopened, packaged bottle of this for a third of the usual price. I went ahead and bought it. The packaging seemed good enough, but when I actually got the bottle out of it it immediately looked suspicious. The cap doesn't fit nicely on the bottle, and the sprayer itself is very cheap looking. The sprayer is actually very different to the real sprayer that's supposed to be there (like it's not even the same kind of sprayer), and when you spray it leaks everywhere and sprays big drops of perfume instead of a nice fine mist. The print on the bottle looks off and peeling. All in all the bottle totally looks like some cheap alternative. The weird thing is that it actually smells identical to the original scent, so I'm not sure what's going on, but the longevity and projection seem to be much worse. I don't know what to make of this, but I'm probably going to use up the huge fake I got, since it at least smells the same, even if it's much weaker. Next time I'll be more careful.

Despite what people are saying about how boring this is, I personally always have room for a "safe" scent on my vanity. Work, family gatherings, first-time meet ups, whatever the occasion. Not only do I have an appreciation for this as a safe scent, but I do find it to be quite beautiful. Warm, but clean.. soft and textured. Not linear, in my opinion.. stays crisp throughout the dry down on my skin, and pretty decent longevity for an edt. Update: Just bought this after scraping by on the generous sample I was given, could not go without it! Was also watching an interesting review of the Burberry 'Body' and its noted similarity to Lancome's 'Tresor' and ah-ha! There it is, the peachy rose reason I immediately just fell in love with this fragrance. My aunts wore Tresor for majority of my formative years, and it was just cozy, sweet, and endearing to me. What I find in BT is a bit of an added edge with the wormwood and tea.. updated and fresh nostalgia to my nose! Feels sophisticated but still naive.. I can definitely see myself purchasing this for years to come. Yay!
