Burberry Brit Gold

i'm loving this! I was just gifted Burberry Brit Red and Gold. both of them are awesome! I ask whyyyyyy Burberryy? why would they discontinue these? I can't even tell you how frustrated I am, where all the best perfumes known to man, are discontinued! I swear it's a ploy. they do it on purpose. It's a conspiracy! lol. if it's too good, too exclusive, too different--they will whip it right off the shelves quicker than you can ever even try it! Grrrr Anyway, this is much nicer than the original Brit IMO. But not better than Red. But somehow the original still stays more favored by me. Can't say why. Probably because it's cheap and I don't feel bad spraying it all the time and wearing it a lot. This one I hoard and salvage... if you've seen the price, you'd understand why. I reserve for special occasions. It definitely seems "gold." that's a perfect name for it. Like others have said, I smell vanilla and incense! I wouldn't say it's balsamic though. I didn't get that at all. In fact, I almost smell honey in the vanilla. It's weird, as it's not a note. It starts out quite soapy, which I think is the Neroli very sharply with the benzoin. I can't imagine how that would create honey, but who knows. also very woodsy. It's definitely a soft, comfort scent. Quite edgy for Burberry. Gold ventures more on the dangerous side, beyond the borders of "where the light touches," lol. Brit is the safe one in the bunch, more of a Pride Rock perfume. I wear this perfume to hula hoop nights! I do see people voted it as having very long staying power. It has heavy projection, but the scents lasting effect is fickle. I also love the bottle much more than the original. I'll be really sad when I run out of this. As much as I love it, I don't think i'd repurchase. It's too expensive--and I'd rather spend that extra money on Brit Red. In any case, still quite nice--and you can get this same scent cheap in perfume oil home made on eBay. smells just like it! I will say, that I can't think of any perfumes that smell similar to this--so it's definitely unique, something you'll miss if you really like it. If you are a fan of vanilla woody scents, this is a like for you--

I have a cruelty free imitation oil of Burberry Brit gold. I have never laid my nose upon the original scent. I adore my imitation of it! It is so warm,creamy, yet gentle green. To me,all perfumes/colognes are unisex. It is really about each individual's perception. In my perception,all scents are open to anyone. The label does not matter to me. No perfume/cologne has a set gender to me. I get a lot of gorgeous powder from this scent! There is definitely an iris bloom note in here. You cannot mistake that precious iris powder! :0) I have been noticing myself being drawn to a certain "afterhshave accord",or note. I love this earthy/woody note mixing in harmony with an alluring perfumey sort of vanilla cream I adore. (The benzoin in Gold can give a sweet impression kind of like vanilla) I get both of these notes working in tandem in my Burberry Brit Gold imitation (The cream sweet of benzoin,which also gives the green impression too.Makes it seem like 2 notes in 1!) This really makes me weak in the knees! This perfume also gives a strong incense smoke feeling too,very sultry. I have a little trick I have been doing with this. I have a bottle of real benzoin styrax that is held in alcohol. I put some of the styrax liquid in my palms,and let it soak in a bit. I put some of my Burberry Brit Gold on my arm. I then kind of mix the two together (then I wash the remaining styrax liquid off my hands really well). It is truly intoxicating! It is warm,sweet,caramel deeply beneath the richest resins,green tones,woodsy beautiful! **Just be careful putting the same thing on your own skin. Even things from our beautiful earth can be poisonous to us. Plus the added alcohol in my bottle would be toxic as well. I only put the tiniest drop of the styrax directly on my skin,rub into my arm,then rinse it completely off my hands. Please be careful putting this resin oil on your hands/skin. Enjoy! :0)

I started to wear Brit Gold back in 2005 when it was released. At the time, it was the first "heavy" perfume I'd ever worn and it felt quite daring. I loved wearing it in the fall and winter. I'd missed and craved it for years after I used up my bottle and it was no longer available, so I finally treated myself to a bottle purchased on eBay. Mind you, I spent 4x what I purchased it for when it was available retail, but I had to have it. And I'm so glad I did. There isn't another perfume quite like it. I have never liked another Burberry perfume besides this one. It's so different than any other Burberry I've sniffed and has beautifully stood the test of time. It’s just as compelling and timeless in 2025 as when it was released twenty years ago. Brit Gold smells like a high-end niche fragrance and evokes the ideal mix of feeling comforted and sexy while wearing it. Plus it lasts forever and creates the most delicious scent bubble. Quite simply, it is amber-vanilla-woody-musk perfection.

I wish this was not a limited edition! It's so hard to get your hands on, but I love it so much that I don't care about paying a high price for it. It is such a dark and deep, smooth musky vanilla scent with a ton of amber and a tiny bit of that creamy magnolia-floweriness. A very intensive, oriental scent. Perfumes like this always make me calm, I don't know why! They remind me of incense and meditation, something which is really intriguing and captivating. For me it has nothing in common with the original Brit (which I love, too). Super long-lasting, but don't you apply too much. It can be overwhelming. ;)

I LOVE IT , I would love to get a bottle ! iam surprised there is no iris... i smell it some where at the heart creating an overall sweet powdery effect, then the warm , warm , warm and hint of warmth along the heart and dray down , its absolutely the SANDALWOOD ..amazing , more than amazing some one here mentioned it remind her/him of Agent Provocateur maitress !
