Burberry Brit New Year Edition Pour Femme

I really enjoy this long discontinued fragrance. I came across it about a year and a half ago from a local discounter and decided to give it a try since I love the summer version of Burberry Brit. I was not at all disappointed. Although it is a NYE special edition, I find there is nothing about it that makes me think New Year's Eve. It's not a party scent or a deep winter fragrance for me. The bottle fits the theme more than it fits the fragrance. The mirrored silver does have night out vibes, but it gives me a much more cold impression that the fragrance does. Burberry Brit NYE SE is a spiced version of the original. The almond from the original is replaced with spices. Although I kind of wish the spices were in addition to the almond instead of replacing it. The original is a has a bright a juicy fruit opening while this one is warm and cozy with those spices present right from the start. The spices make this fragrance warm and cozy while the Burberry Brit DNA has a floral freshness. I love to wear this on cold, dreary spring days. The Brit DNA keeps it from being a cold winter fragrance for me. While the spices make it more cozy than I would prefer for summer. I have experienced great performance with this fragrance. It lasts 8-10 hours and projects at least arms length for most of that time. Just for the last couple of hours it stays pretty close to the skin. I find this feminine, but it is creeping towards unisex. I think it could work quite well on a man or for anyone that wants something that's not hyper-feminine. The candied almonds in the original EDP much sweeter and more feminine. While this edition is far less sweet and the addition of spices make it more unisex. If you are reading this because you came across a bottle somewhere, I think it's worth a purchase, but only for a great price. I think I paid $40-50CAD and was happy with my purchase. If it's much more that that just stick with the original which is widely available at discounters for heavily discounted prices.

This for me is one of the best of Burberrys. Elegan,t but warm and modern, not in this heavy way of many other winterscents. I love it and always get compliments for this. Realy wonderful !!! Can`t understand that others find this strong or masculin. On me it is absoulutely beautiful. Might be that the individual skin make the difference.

Today i had the chance to try this... this is nothing like the Original Brit (Btw i adore)... this spells really spicy like strong clove and cinnamon... not my cup of tea... a total dissapointment =(

Aahh! The sweet scent of Christmas. The website says this has notes of citrus and almonds in the opening, and then plum, baked apple,cinnamon, peony,pink pepper,cedar, sandalwood, amber and tonkabean. Opens very citrussy in true burberry brit fashion, and then the spices take over. More rich and interesting than brit original,because of the spices.I could not smell the pink pepper or peony on my skin The drydown is similar to the original brit with tonka beans as the strongest note. The bottle is not like the edgy grey pictured above, but a horrid tacky silver.Warm and cozy for the holidays.

Burberry Brit is quit special fragrance... in the biggining when I spray I smell some fruity/citrus notes mixed with just a little floral note. But then... one hour later.. there is no flower... just nice sweet smell of warm apple pie or maybe more of some citrus cake with cinnamon... not heavy or heady... not floral anymore.. just nice pie:)

Spiced Pear I have a candle flavoured spiced pear and this smells identical. I love the spiciness though, something i would wear on cool rainy days. warm and sweet but not in a sickening way. Also smells very "christmas" to me, the amber in this is so warm and comforting.

very spicy and powdery strong cinamon aroma as u r standing in spice market bought it but use occationly like it but not love it

I smell thé spicea but it is stil soft. Maybe because it is getting a bit old, since it Was launch in 2010.

Just got this last week. I have to say from the reviews below, I was disappointed in what I got. I was expecting "warm pie" and "spiced apples". I am getting none of that. As a matter of fact, I cannot find a single apple in the bottle. It's all pears!! That's right. It's pears, not apples. This fragrance begins with a burst of blended, sparkling citrus notes that lean more towards orange zest and lemon zest, than bergamot. It's fresh and makes your jaws ache. It's very similar to the opening in Dolce and Gabanna Light Blue. In the middle notes, there is an accord of frozen pear mixed with just a touch of fresh spice. Not enough to take it into gourmand territory, but enough to give it a slight holiday vibe. More like a frozen, spiced, pear granita and less like "pie". It's sparkling and clean. The base is kissed with vanilla, but this fragrance is not linear- so, you never really get that dessert feel. The vanilla warms it up only in the end. By then, you are left with a fresh, fruity fragrance impression with a mere nod to the spices. This isn't gourmand, and it's not all hot spices either. It's light and citrusy with a "nod" to spices in the end. Not for me, but if you like citrus notes, you might give it a try. On a scale of 1-10 (10 being the best): Sillage is about a 4- it's light Longevity is about 3 hours And, I would classify this as a fruity fragrance.

I bought this about 3 years ago, tried it, found that I hated it and gave it away to my mom, since her body chemistry is very different from mine. It seems she didn't quite like this either. I tried this about 10 minutes ago, and this now smells much better than it did 3 years ago. I still wouldn't say I can categorize it as something I like, but it's not bad either. It's kind of a peppery-tropical smell with some peony. I smell some citrus, but actually very little cinnamon. I can't believe this actually can be better than before it was, technically, spoilt (my mom keeps her fragrances in the bathroom)...

I absolutely hate this - it's like a brick of spices. Too much. On top of that it's very masculine, and also quite synthetic-smelling. I think this is among the worst perfumes I've smelt. I sprayed it into the air of my room, just to test if it could be used as air freshener - I didn't know where to run for the next 4-6 hours -_- So it's very long lasting. It also didn't develop into anything else neither on me or in the air - it stayed the weird synthetic pink pepper mix till the end.

I wanted to love this. Cinnamon, cloves, fruit. It should have smelled like the holidays. It was nothing but sweet and almost floral on me. Not sure how, but it was. My hopes were shattered. Currently on the hunt for the retired red and gold versions to see if I fare any better with those.

One whiff and I smelled one of my all time faves, Tuscany Per Donna by Estee Lauder. This would be a milder Tuscany, but smells almost exactly the same, at first. With the Brit having maybe a "nut" smell on top, at first. On the dry down, I can smell the cinnamon and clove notes mixed with a bit of a baked apple potpourri smell that certainly reminds me of the holidays. It's like Tuscany Per Donna with a cinnamon/clove holiday potpourri grated into it. Worth getting if you like Tuscany with a bit of a holiday twist on the finish. I did like the opening to this but in the end, it's not a scent for me. Warm, nice for the fall/winter:D.

Saw the reviews of this fragrance being masculine, saw the spicy notes and bought it for myself, hoping to get a lot of warm cinnamon...nope! No cinnamon, no cloves, no tonka! It is actually very light and cold perfume, pink pepper gives it an almost minty / menthol vibe. Pink pepper, peony, a little bit of citrus and amber, that is what I get. Maybe some soft, barely noticeable woody note. Doesn't fit Christmas or New Year mood at all, more suitable for autumn or even summer. On top of all the flaws is the lack of lasting power and projection - it's gone in an hour, very watered down and weak..such a disappointment.

A lost gem of the Burberry line and not at all like the other Brit fragrances. This has prominent peony, pepper, and lasting spice with the cinnamon and clove. The spice is well integrated into the composition; the spice is present but not overpowering. I don't get the citrus notes at all, but it's possible those have diminished over time since I picked this up recently on the secondary market. The dry down is the only spot where this has a faint whiff of others in the Brit line with the amber and wood. Overall, a lovely fragrance that I'm happy I took a risk on blind buying.

This is a truly feminine scent. Opens with citrusy, fruity notes which develop into light spicy floral. It is lasting well over 5 hours on my skin. Not sure about the bottle, it is kind of mirror mirror on the wall. The scent is ideal for the last days of the summer or lovely warm autumn. Very comfy and pleasant.

citrus, pink pepper, baked apple and plum (pomarose), cinnamon, peony, cedar, sandalwood, amber and tonka bean; sort of weird and unique blend of citrus, pepper, apple and amber mostly

I can't seem to find it anywhere... but I'd love to try it :(

I love it! They are so sweet and femininity.
