Brit Rhythm for Him Intense

PARIS, A RAINCOAT AND A DRY MARTINI Paris ... Already some time ago I lost interest in the tourist Paris, the Paris of the Champs Elysées, the Eiffel Tower, and the Galeries Lafayette. I like to breathe the Montmartre air, walk through its narrow streets full of history, and sip a few drinks in those bars that still reverberate the libertarian thinking of the 20s and the 30s. I mean places like "Closerie des Lilas" and "Harry's New York Bar ". I miss those moments when, by myself or with my girlfriend, I drank a cold Alsatian beer to fight the night heat, or maybe a Dry Martini with absinthe to warm my raincoat on rainy dusk. I still hope to spend long hours there, and maybe one day I will come across the ghost of Hemingway and we will have Dry Martini together. I will not complain if Scott Fitzgerald, James Joyce, Henry Miller, Oscar Wilde, or even Toulouse-Lautrec and Charles Aznavour also join in. The “lost generation” - a term coined by the promoter of this XXth century movement, the writer Gertrude Stein - did not hesitate to meet for lively parties, full of characters that represented the Parisian madness, like the beautiful Kiki de Montparnasse. Also were not missed long conversations soaked by absinthe and Dry Martini cocktails. The Dry Martini recipe comes with different amounts of vermouth and gin. For some, the measure is fifty-fifty, that is, the dose of gin used is the same as that of vermouth. Others already say that the real (perhaps the perfect) Dry Martini has to have more vermouth than gin. Others like the gin to completely drown the vermouth. That was Ernest Hemingway's preference. For him, the vermouth should be nothing more than the shadow of the Martini bottle over the glass full of gin. And should it be beaten or just stirred? Believing in the best-known spy in the world and his distinctive taste, James Bond always asks for his Dry Martini beaten and never stirred. I still prefer my Dry Martini seasoned with absinthe. I think its herbal touch is indispensable. The aroma is divine. I think it would be an excellent inspiration to create a perfume ... or does it already exist? Brit Rhythm for Him Intense ? or Dry Martini and Absinth by Burberry ? The absinth fresh opening with artemisia/absinth, vermouth, cumin, and pepper gives me the vibe of a very nice bittersweet glass of vermouth and gin on the rocks. By adding a couple of mint leaves... it becomes just delicious! Opening aside, this perfume stands for me as a leather, tonka, and wood blending, with those notes being easily identifiable, after the Dry Martini boozy top accord. The ambery leather and cashmere wood notes are very present but are soft and tamed. I classify this essence as very aromatic, very versatile, and quite easy to wear. The initial minty fresh and bittersweet absinthe and vermouth impression make way for a refined mildly sweet drydown influenced by vanilla and tonka notes. This Intense version is better and richer than the regular Brit Rhythm. However, it is not really groundbreaking or even new for the perfume market. I have seen reviewers claiming this perfume to be similar to Black Afgano, Spice Bomb, 1 Million, La Nuit de L'Homme, Charriol Black, CH Men, Mercedes Benz Intense, Eros, Zino, Egoiste, and fifty other colognes besides the original Brit Rhythm. Of course, it does not make any sense. That's the issue with a mainstream fragrance, even if a good one. It looks similar an all bunch of fragrances but it is equal to none.... but similar to Black Afgano? good gracious! In my skin, the perfume lasts between 7 and 8 hours, it projects for 2 hours, and its sillage has a top figure of about 5 feet. I would say it is slightly above average in what performance is concerned. It is a somewhat mainstream perfume, very suitable for a huge range of situations and just not suitable for hot summer days and working out. The bottle is very imaginative and designed with very good taste. It stands out on any shelf. in my opinion, it's probably the best Burberry along with London. How can I measure this fashionable Dry Martini with Absinthe? ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ - Opening: 9.0 (herbal fresh with vermouth and spices) - DryDown: 8.0 (leather and wood) - Longevity: 8.0 (3 sprays can last up to 8 hours) - Sillage: 7.0 (up to 5 feet with 3 sprays; it projects for 2.0 hours) - Uniqueness: 8.0 (It has its own individuality sustained by the boozy opening accord. On the other hand it's a bit mainstream for the remaining development) - Usability: 9.0 (Almost a four seasons fragrance for outdoors or indoors, day or night; avoid the hot summer days) - Versatility: 8.5 (Excellent for a wide number of occasions and great for the office and general daily wear. Don't use it in the gym or on the beach) - Compliments: 7.5 (You will smell very good to everybody, but nobody will whistle at you due to the scent) - Quality: 9.0 (above-average quality ingredients, good flask, nice sprayer) - Presentation: 9.0 (very good presentation, in my opinion, although a bit feminine; If you display it in the toilet, your wife will accept it....the Burberry pattern does wonders) - Price: 9.5 (EdT Intense, 100 ml non-tester for € 22.00, a bargain) ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ ___ Average rating: 8.41 / 10.00 - between 8 and 9 = recommended; Recommendation: This is a top mainstream fragrance with the added bonus of a (dear to me) boozy opening. I never care much about mainstream fragrances, but if you are looking for a non-obtrusive fragrance to use every day, I do recommend this one. Blind buy? Why not for this price. Music: Pink Martini - "Bolero"

Before I get to BBRI, I feel it is only fair to give you some background information on my relationship with the Burberry Brit line. The original Burberry Brit was the first signature scent I ever had. I was well known for the scent throughout high school. I purchased Burberry Brit Rhythm the day it released, and was somewhat disappointed but still kept a bottle in my wardrobe as a sort of tribute to the original. When I found out an intense version was releasing, I was thrilled as I felt that the first flanker was too laid back to represent the line. I blind bought the bottle immediately after its release and fell in love with the fragrance at first spray. BBRI is NOT the most complex, well blended, organic, or exotic cologne on the market. It isn't challenging or "groundbreaking." BUT IT SURE AS HELL IS A BONAFIDE COMPLIMENT ALL STAR. It is a fall/winter dumb reach that I will always have in my collection and am proud to call my signature scent. I have been asked to spray this on more hoodys/pillows [;)] than any other cologne I own. This is a cologne that you get an extra hug while wearing so that she/he can get one more whiff of your fragrance. As fragheads, we sometimes get so caught up on whats new/challenging/expensive/high quality that we disregard some absolute gems and this is one of them. The fact that this can be purchased for anywhere from $20-$30 dollars is absolutely unbelievable when you consider the colognes that are sitting on department store counters for upwards of $100. THIS SHOULD MAKE EVERY YOUTUBE REVIEWERS FALL/WINTER CHEAPIE LIST. BBRI opens briskly with black pepper, mint, and sage that all quickly take a backseat to the main player in this fragrance: LEATHER. There is nothing animalic or dirty about this leather, just refined and clean. The leather continues throughout the rest of the fragrance and is backed with tonka and creamy woods. The fragrance is never harsh, but it does get smoother and smoother as the fragrance progresses. The sweetness also increases throughout its life. It definitely doesnt reach the gourmand stages of the original BB but the tonka and cashmere certainly add a masculine sweetness in its later stages. I get about 4-5 hours of good projection and about 10 hours of longevity, which can be extended indefinitely if sprayed on fabric. I do not get many of the comparisons in the other reviews on here. It can be categorized with La Nuit, Spicebomb, and Man in Black, but it definitely doesn't smell LIKE them. It is much less spicy than SB and MIB, and it is much deeper than LNDH. Opening 6/10 (too short lived to be rated highly) Mid 9/10 Drydown 9/10 Longevity 9/10 Uniqueness 8/10 (clearly designer and mass appealing, but doesn't smell exactly like anything else on the counter) Overall 9/10 (very easy to wear and generally well liked by the public)

The fresh opening with absinth, cumin and pepper notes gives me a vibe of a very nice bittersweet glass of Cinzano on the rocks and with a couple of mint leaves... Delicious! Opening aside, this perfume stands for me as a patchouli, leather, tonka, amber and woods blending, with those notes being easily identifiable, after the vermouth boozy top accord. The ambery leather and cashmere notes are very present but are soft and well behaved, helping my little grey cells to classify this essence as very aromatic, very versatile and easy to wear. The initial minty fresh and bittersweet vermouth impression makes way for a refined mildly sweet drydown influenced by vanilla and tonka notes. This Intense version is better and richer than the regular Brit Rhythm. However, it is not really groundbreaking or even new for the perfume market. I have seen reviewers claiming this perfume to be similar to Black Afgano, Spice Bomb, 1 million, La Nuit de L'Homme, Charriol Black, CH Men, Mercedes Benz Intense, Eros, Zino and Egoiste, and fifty others colognes besides the original Brit Rhythm. Of course it does not make any sense. That's the issue with a mainstream perfume. It looks similar an all bunch of fragrances but it is equal to none.... but similar to Black Afgano? In my skin, the perfume lasts between 7 and 8 hours, it projects for 90~100 minutes and its sillage has a top figure of about 5 feet. I would say it is slightly above average in what performance is concerned. It is a somewhat mainstream perfume, very suitable for a huge range of situations and just not suitable for hot summer days and work out. The bottle is very imaginative and designed with very good taste. It stands out in any shelf. It's way different from the Touch strange bottle. This one and London are probably the best Burberry perfumes in my opinion. Keep your scent high!

This thing deserves much more attention then it gets. Where should I start... The bottle itself is a pure masterpiece... heavy, robust, on the side looks like mercury under smoke glass. And the scent? I think it's just beautiful. Ok...yess, this is not a scent made to stir up the perfume community...it's not a niche scent, but it's a very, VERY pleasant and really well made gem. In the beginning I get some strange chocolate-coconut vibe however that's not in the pyramid, but definitely recognizable. After 20-30 minutes it transforms to a less fruity, rather sweet scent because of the tonka and the vanille, but right from the start to the end you can smell some good, comforting leather base, and the perfume allways keeps its' playful nature. The leather is more present in the middle and the drydown, and when it starts shining through after the beginning....DAMN!! Thats awesome. (Scentetuolo gave a good paraphrase of the leather note, I could just repeat him) Do not dig your nose in it, just let it linger around you. And please don't judge it too quick as a generic scent... give it some time and try to recognize the notes....it's really worth the time I think. Projects like a maniac, and longevity is also great. Take it easy on the sprayer if you are in the office, because it can be too much for some people. Otherwise.... just enjoy it. Absolutely recommended. And the cherry on the cake is that I am a musician and one of my favorites is Noel F Gallagher so even the name Brit Rhythm fits me so good....it definitely a long story for me....

I blind bought this as my one and only exposure to the Burberry brand. No regrets. It was inexpensive and it smells great. The note tree is pretty extensive and I'd be lying if I said I could pick out individual notes. But the overall smell is understated and classy. I'd say versatility is the strong point for this one. I can see this day or night, at the office or the gym. It's just not offensive. As for performance, I disagree with the ratings here on Fragrantica. This is not a strong performer. Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Adequate but moderate. But I don't consider that a bad thing at all. Moderate performers are hard to over spray. You're not going to gag a room with this stuff. As for age, I consider this a grown up product for adults so, guys out of college and in the work force. For weather, I can see this any time of year in almost any temp. Overall, I really like it and I'd buy it again. Far from my favorite but a really safe dumb reach at a really affordable price. Nice bottle too.

28. March 2025 I purchased a smaller bottle of it for my man last autumn, we both liked it, but then i actually fell in love with this fragrance. I do not know how the original smells, but this intense version is absolutely great! This and Burberry London original for men are both my favorite men Burberry fragrances. Brit Rhytm intense is a very aromatic fragrance: not too sweet, not too woody, not too old fashioned, it has a perfect balance of freshness, fruityness, and masculine woodyness. Best time of the year is fall winter in northern Europe, maybe bit humid. Cold einter time as well. I just walked in into 2 bottles of it in Etos, 90ml for 39.90, i had to get them! I think its discontinued already, so i could not resist to buy those remaining ones. As cliche as it might sound, this is truly great fragrance and for this price you cannot go wrong! Just look at the notes, they are perfectly blended and sound sooooo nice and they are!

I was a little worried after I ordered this that it was going to be too sort of smoky or leathery, just based on how much the reviews talked about the leather note. I can confidently say that my fear was unfounded because this is a very pleasing fragrance. There's a great balance of fresh notes (raspberry, fig, mint, etc.) to heavier notes like the leather, tonka, and pepper. Very pleasing and, like everyone else has said here, masculine. My wife loves this stuff. She thinks it's modern enough that it doesn't feel out of place on a younger man like me, but is still attractive in an older-fashioned-man sort of way. Performance is also not an issue for me at all. It projects very well for a good 3 hours and it lasts around 7 hours on me. On top of all that, the presentation is also great. I didn't pay very much at all for it, either. It's very affordable on sites like Gift Express and Foreverlux. Not disappointed at all in this release.

I wore this one to walk around in London and every time my body heat rose going through the underground, I would smell it. I kept thinking to myself that EVERYONE in London wears this one, but it was me. The scent lasts and lasts! it is very unique and a lovely scent. The fig really stands out to me with the nice sweetness of the raspberry. The dry down is all the things that work well in a winter fragrance., The vanilla works well with all the other notes listed here. Don't worry about the leather as a primary note, the vanilla takes center stage with the sandalwood just underneath. Beautiful fragrance and very unique from opening to a familiar WARM dry down. In the cold, you can go heavy on the trigger, but if it is warmer, be careful, this will dominate a room. I would buy another one if I ran out!

I love this fragrance. Just 3 or 4 sprays on your body and you're good to go. The woody and fresh scents hit you immediately after applying the perfume. Then the sage and mint come through. The woody, vanilla and bergamot notes stay with you throughout the day. This is undoubtedly a masculine fragrance and very classy - very British. Age-wise: I think this perfume is better suited to grown up men - from guys in their 30s and upwards. Season(s): I think you can safely wear this fragrance anytime of the year. However, I think it is better suited for the Autumn and Winter. Time of day: You can wear this anytime of the day. However, I also think that this is better suited as part of one's night game. Rating: I give Burberry Brit a solid 7.5/10.

I feel like the top notes of fig, cumin, etc mixing with the guaiac wood and leather of the base give the opening an animalic effect..almost like an oud. It's reminiscent of the indolic jasmine/oud opening of my Thierry Mugler Oud Majestieux ...even more so because of the amber...but like someone else mentioned, this completely changes into this warm, amber/vanilla combo in the drydown. I have a modest collection of ouds and Muglers..I feel like if I smelled this without seeing the bottle, I would feel as if it were right at home betwixt them. I am sincerely surprised to be getting this kind of scent profile from Burberry, especially for what I paid. A total sleeper hit! My only regret is not getting the full size.

I had this sitting, basically unused for 4 years... now I spray it on me and I absolutely love it. Very strong opening, but damn I really enjoy it when it cools down. I never let it sit long before, very different than anything else I’ve smelt or have. Cannot call myself a Connoisseur and cannot really pick up different notes, but I definitely get a bit of raspberry, leather and pepper. sage has become apparent to me now and very clearly so. I don’t (can’t!) wear this enough!! So surprisingly delicious.

So beautiful. After almost 5 years I realized that it's getting hyped slowly. I think the name of this fragrance is a disadvantage for this scent. I hate flanker's flanker's names. So long and people who are not interested the original one don't care the scents that continue the line. Hugo Boss also makes this mistake all the time! This fragrance is lit especially when you wore a leather jacket in cold weather nights. The blending of leather, raspberry and fig is just so freaking sexy!

A kind of dirty-sweet leather. Good performance in terms of both longevity and performance. Sometimes I think I love it, then I think I only like it okay. The raspberry and other sweet notes are a bit too strong; I wish that the leather and woods were more prominent. Suitable for cooler weather non-formal wear. I wouldn't use it as an office scent, I think it could be a bit offensive to some noses. Scent: 7.5/10 Longevity: 8 hours Projection: 2+ hours strong, but short of beast-mode.

At last! A fragrance that deserves its "Intense" moniker! A sultry version of the regular Burberry Brit Rhythm with amped up leather notes and toned down citrusy notes, but sufficiently different to have both in your collection. Long lasting and virile but less versatile than the regular one. Bottle is one of the best looking in the entire industry. I'm not sure whether i prefer the regular fresher one or this more sensual take as they are both equally brilliant. Highly recommended.

I'm my opinion, this is THE most underrated fragrance out there. People talk about Burberry like London (and maybe Touch) are the only good fragrances the house ever produced. I like London and Touch (and others from the house as well) but this blows them out of the water. And it rarely gets talked about. It smells phenomenal. It performs great. And it's different enough to have you smelling unique, but it's familiar enough to still be a guaranteed like... in my opinion.

Found this at my parents house. My dad had a few perfumes, he probably bought some cheapies over the years. He passed away last summer and as i was smelling his old perfumes, this stood out to me as the best one. I use it sparingly as it is discontinued and it kind of of reminds me of him. in the last few months i managed to find a regular burberry brit rhythm bottle online. which also smells really good, but more sweet and definitely smells nothing like the intense.

Great juice from one of the noses behind La nuit de l'homme. This really deserves its Intense moniker. The original Brit Rhythm was quite ordinary but this one is a winner for sure. Longevity and sillage are great. The scent itself is awesome, peppery and masculine. Forget this in summer, this could kill someone... This is the fragrance you need if you want to make a statement as it projects a powerfull aura. Merci M. Ropion, you really nailed it this time 8/10

I got this and Sauvage by Dior for my husband this past Christmas. I literally paid $100 more for the Dior best seller, and he has absolutely fallen in love with the Burberry. He wears it every day. I like it on him as well. I feels modern and a bit complex. I've noticed that he is quite partial to leather, tonka, and Guaiac wood. I've also noticed that he is more fond of the refined, usable "English" scents as opposed to the bolder "French or Italian" ones.

You would be fooling yourself if you aren't checking this one out. Bought it as a dumb reach for 40 bucks and well, lets just say it became my new signature thats how much I enjoy this. It's strong, sexy, leathery and fruity with that warm vanilla that seriously draws me in, if I smelt this on a woman, man id be impressed XD the fig and pepper definitely do something in here that perfects it, nothing else compares. I will invest in back up bottles soon.
