Burberry Brit

I always wanted to buy this perfume for a long time due to the notes in it. They’re all my favorite type of scents. I first tested it at a store and now I’m testing it on my arm that I bought it, it opens with a striking smell. Lime really hits you in the face and I was very surprised that it’s that detectable. However, it smells very sweet still, I wouldn’t maybe like it alone but I loved lime in this one. Then the lime fades, you start to smell almond more. When I first tested it, I thought this didn’t smell like how I imagined because I didn’t expect the lime so I almost gave up buying but as the scent settled down, it became this very intimate and calming smell. Vanilla and other sweet notes started to appear and it smelled just as I like so I immediately bought it. Now I’m liking this side more and more because it makes it suitable for every season, colder weather maybe be better but it reminds me of spring as well, very versatile. About the sillage, it doesn’t offer a very powerful one but I think people can smell it when they’re next to you so it’s not that undetectable as well. I can see this being suitable for workplaces, school and maybe other events where you need to be more subtle. I think colder weather clothes will carry this perfect. Longevity is pretty much good, it stays up to 5 hours but in the last hour, it turns very intimate and mostly only you can detect it so I wished it was a bit longer. Scents don’t have age but this is a youthful perfume, I loved it very much. I don’t know about the formula change, I haven’t got the chance to smell OG version but this one is good too. I think most people would love it, it’s not that polarising. This is like an everyday perfume when you want to smell like your own scent but better, very delicate.

Brit is a sassy, punky thing. Not like the English garden types. I can hear the sardonic wit and an infectious cackle, purse in one hand and pint in another. I'm truly not relating to these "old money" comments at all, maybe because I'd expect ~old money aesthetic~ to smell like L'Eau No. 5 or something. As the EDT did on me years before, the EDP (old design) pulls much more woody and cologne-like on me from the top, not sweet at all. I never could figure out why. Soon enough though, it evolves into that Brit signature. Something warm, bright and zingy but not really gourmand. Fruit and floral ring singularly before dissipating into to citrus zest and almost powder, from the almond note it seems. I also remembered EDP Brit being much heavier on the sweetness, almost candy-like. Trying it again, that's not the case and is instead far more spread out amongst the other notes. It holds the hallmark of many of its '00s contemporaries; modern yet well-blended enough to create a true signature, not just a facsimile of vanilla and lime pastries. Impressive in that regard. Brit doesn't personally paint the picture of elegance to me. In fact, rather the opposite - the demographic it was aimed towards at the time - young 20-something adults with a confident outlook and a gaggle of friends to hit the town with. The shy friends would wear Sheer, but the feisty friends would wear Brit, dragging them along for misadventure. A timeless picture, in any generation. Perhaps a testament to its longevity today. Cute perfect drydown on sweaters, like the remainder of a girlfriend's presence. I do wish I could see a reimagined flanker of this with a coffee note or something similarly foodish yet earthy, to bring the gourmand full circle.

I happen to be the very fortunate owner of the 15ml pure parfum :-) very concentrated and very powerful indeed. The opening is very limey, fresh and uplifting. After initial 30 minutes, it's all about almonds, tonka and vanilla, I can't smell much more than this at this point. Very creamy, well rounded, feminine and most satisfying. Pure Parfum lasts and projects only ever slightly more than EDP so I can't justify spending £50 on 15ml pure parfum, considering that EDP version lasts almost just as much as Pure Parfum if applied more generously. Still, it's an ever such a comforting, feminine juice, it envelopes you into a warm almonds shawl, it lingers for about 7 hours before it becomes a romantic, albeit only a skin scent. Beautiful, feminine, cocooning, sexy, uplifting. These are the only descriptors that come to mind. Would happily repurchase if only the lasting power between EDP and Pure Parfum was justified. The 15ml pure parfum bottle fits well into the handbag but the longevity is almost comparable to EDP so I'd opt for EDP decanted into a smaller atomizer. Overall, a compliment getter, a mood uplifter, sweet and feminine addition to your perfume wardrobe. Thumbs up ;-) Can't go wrong with Natalie whose creations I truly appreciate and understand:-)

It's been a long time since I've worn the original version of Burberry Brit EDP. I remember the original having more pear in it, and I could more distinctly smell the peony. I just bought a bottle of the reformulated version in the bottle with the wider diagonal stripes. I preferred the way the old bottle looked with the thinner vertical and horizontal stripes. It seemed more expensive looking, classier somehow. However, I do like this new juice just fine. It seems more lime forward than I remembered the original being. The lime gives it some zest and a bit of surprise. There is also an almost unisex quality to the fragrance, but I would say it's still feminine especially in the dry down, which is a soft woody vanilla. Burberry Brit makes a great signature everyday scent because it's simple and cozy. The longevity and sillage of the EDP is good, and BRIT lasts forever on clothes. I do find you can become habituated to scent easily. A few sprays are plenty. Other people can still smell it even if you can't. A couple sprays to refresh in the evening are fine. The idea is for those close to you to get a gentle waft of fragrance. Less of this fragrance is really more.
