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!

For any Canadians interested in this I just purchased it from Shoppers Drug Mart for $19.99 on their discounted perfume endcap display! I have the original which I used to enjoy as it reminded me of a vacation in a bottle minus the bad sunscreen smell. My original bottle is maybe 10 years old and smelling less than fresh so I thought I would give this version a go. The beginning few minutes smelled similar but maybe more wormwood? I am no expert but in the notes that is one of the first listed that I don’t know the smell of. It’s now been 30 minutes and it is reminding me more of the original. I only sprayed my wrists that usually devour perfume as I was already wearing Poison Girl and had no desire to mix the two! Overall I’m very pleased with my bargain and may update my review once I have worn it for a day. My boyfriend never really liked the original so if he doesn’t comment on this version I will consider that a success!

This perfume has been my new must have !!!! The best I could find in this style of cool refreshing, awakens the senses!!!!!! I like most of the other body because it is the most fresh citrus !!!!! The reason is the perfect combination of peach fruit Apple, fortunately the tea and thank God lemon which is what l ask desperately for summer!!! All of these have the PERFECT combination with jasmine and rose ...rose is very dominant at last!!!!! Wood notes not soo dominant ,give a perfect touch to have a good longlasting power !!!! The best note for the end ....the Absinthe ...that's what makes it special!!!! I have been looking for fragrances with Absinthe but this one to my nose is very good !!!! this fresh summer combination of notes comes to create a bomb of freshness ... creates pleasant illusions, makes me travelling in a flower garden in the morning after it has stopped raining .Love ...Love .....Love ....

Contemporary Chypre Tea-Rose... This Chypre Fruity beauty signed by Michel Almairac opens with wormwood, citrus & fruits but already the tea rose is swelling through. Wormwood here is helping to strike the chypre accord. This is a modern take on the tea-rose, and there are some similarities to modern roses like Chloe EDP Chloe, Tabu Rose Dana & Delina Parfums de Marly (although this doesn't have the tropical & rhubarb facets). As it's drying down it gets sweeter with tea & sandalwood that read like tea with honey. There's also a shampoo vibe in the background. This is similar to Body EDP & Body EDT, but a bit more pink with rose slightly more forward than the EDT, and less peach than the EDP. Michel Almairac also composed Chloe EDP Chloe and you can catch the similarities. I just have a sample miniature, but this is full bottle worthy although it can be hard to find. It's a love for me. Enjoy!

A blind buy success! I have been on the hunt for a fresh, clean, classy and different fragrance for summer and I think my search is over! I can see myself wearing this daily, it's so beautiful. I have tried the original Body and liked it but there was something in the middle notes or drydown that didn't sit quite right on my skin. When I bought this unsniffed, I hoped that it would similar to Body but fresher and indeed it is. It starts with a tart and zingy opening of citrus, apples and green tea leaves then comes a slightly warmer mingling of soft rose, creamy peach and musk. Reminds me of expensive smelling soap in the best possible way. It is exactly what I was after for summer. I get lovely clouds of this goodness floating up to greet me every now and then. It's just gorgeous!

I first thought, "This smells like a million other florals". I like florals so I didn't mind. I wore it again and it was magic. The only other non-family scent I can compare this with is Infusion d'Iris. It has no iris. Still, it's so very similar and light but, persistent! I'm loving Burberry everything so far! To me, their scents are remarkably unique. Often I try the offspring of a scent and it seems to be no more related than any other scent out there. Burberry Body and this are definitely from the same family. Tender is so lovely. This is just a sheer veil of fragrance. It's so frail...just the finest mist of delightful air. A more beautiful wedding scent can't be found as far as I'm concerned. Way to go Burberry!

I bought this 1.1oz bottle as a blind buy this summer, and regret not getting the 2.8oz one. I think this fragrance has the perfect balance of fruit, floral, and wood tied together with greenness from the tea. I like rose, and it really shines in Tender. Simply lovely. The Body line by Burberry altogether hasn't disappointed me as of yet, from the beautiful solid crystal-like body of their bottles, to the sweet feminine juices inside. Longevity can be better, but Burberry also makes Body Milk for layering, which aids in silage as well. It comes in that same tall, slender bottle too, which BTW is the perfect shape to hold & spritz easily. Love, and will be buying again.

This is what Burberry Body should have smelled like. It is almost the same without the the rose trumping over all other notes and making one smell like they sprayed bathroom air freshener on themselves. Skin Type: oily Office safe: yes Potency: moderate Timing: all year / day time Projection: arm's length Longevity: 10hrs + Price: about $ 29.99 at TJMaxx for 60mls Packaging: 8/10 Will I Repurchase: yes Disclaimer: my experience may be different from your experience based on my skin type, my chemistry, the season, and my personal tastes. EDIT:I loved this so much I purchased a bottle for my Mom $39 for 100mls at Marshalls.

I fell in love with this treasure some years ago, decided to buy it "one day" and then it disappeared from the shelves. I think it's discontinued. it took me awhile to find it, but I did, even with very reasonable price. Now I have it! Body tender is such a perfect combination of heavenly notes that play in harmony together, producing a crispy fresh, feminine scent. So beautiful. It's very versatile, fits every situation, time, and place. I am so happy to finally have a 60 ml bottle of this. (To discontinue a scent like this..?! So silly.)

This is such a subtle, beautiful floral fragrance. I could wear this perfume every single day. It's aroma is so light and feminine. It smells so sophisticated and classy- you could wear it any day of the year and smell simply beautiful. When I'm wearing it I keep wanting to go back and smell my wrists...it is that lovely. To me this fragrance is what subtle-sexy is... I just purchased it and I'm already planning the days of the week that I'm going to be wearing this. This is very easily one of the best fragrances in my collection.

Absolutley like!!!!! I want this for spring and even for summer. Crispy, fresh but not an aquatic way. Sparkingly cool, modern sophistication, still creates a luxurious atmosphere. Suitable for youngsters and elderly women too. It might be described a little bit artificial, but I don't mind it, because it is outstanding in perfumery mass production.I can detect the apple but not the evident fruity way. It makes you clean and sexy for all day! On my skin it lasts all day long!

This was love at the first sniff, and it lasted! Body Tender is one of the best perfumes I know at the moment. There is an irresistible blend of rose, apple and lemon that creates a crisp, yet rosy and elegant scent. I am impressed by the rich nuances of many notes that play beautifully together. This is like the spring/summer sister of Body, which I don't like nearly as much as Body Tender. Opening notes and dry down both lovely, and in harmony with each other.

I absolutely hate the opening so I stashed this one away until today. I gave it a second chance and...oh my! I sat thru the opening and waited an hour or two. And this dry down is really lovely. Its a nice sweet apple rose skin scent. Im surprised on how lovely this one is and i will repurchase it again. I have the OG edp on my way and im really excited and curious about it. *Update* ive layerd this little beauty with a vanilla body oil. And its a big love now

I normally don't really enjoy rose perfumes, but I made a blind buy based on the reviews here. This is absolutely beautiful! The rose is definitely there, but the combination of wormwood and apple are doing a perfect job at keeping an overall fresh scent. I'd totally wear it on a first date because of this perfect balance. Thank you Fragranticans, you never disappoint me :)

Slightly bitter-sweet, crisp and tender feminine chypre... Fresh fruit and aromatic grasses melting into powdery tender rose...a divine..lovely...elegant and sexy scent with character. It has the original Body' s woody notes softened by beautiful fruity rose. Delicate and feminine version of Body which is too strong on grasses and wood on me. Good longevity and sillage.

Burberry Body tender is gorgeous and amazing my new favorite fragrance from my perfume collection at the moment. I adore the original Burberry Body fragrance but tender is better way more youthful and Fresh I can see why they choose Cara Delevingne instead of Rosie Huntington Whiteley to be the face of body tender because it is younger lighter and softer.
