Burberry Brit Rhythm

My new favorite... This is a very BOLD scent, yet it's very inoffensive. For years I've wanted a scent that smells like the perfect leather interior scent, and that's what this scent is for me. Leather, LOTS of it, and the juniper berries are the perfect bitter fruit scent to compliment the leather. For the same reasons that I love this scent, I can imagine some fragrance connoisseurs not caring for this scent besides using it as a car air freshener. Imagine stepping out of a European sports car with leather on every surface including the dash board, brand new and freshly detailed, while wearing a new dress shirt and a masculine fruity fragrance, with your date sitting in the passenger seat wearing a deep floral scent. That's what this scent is for me, and that's why I love it. To me, this is a night time scent. In my opinion, the perfect daytime companion to this scent is DIESEL's Only The Brave. In my opinion, this is OTB's darker, taller, and more handsome, evil twin. This also wears well for me at night after wearing Gucci Guilty Eau during the day. Strong, long lasting, affordable, smells great... what more could you ask for? If you're searching for a deep, fruity leather scent, this is it. (I mean, you know, aside from Tuscan Leather.)

Having owned and used more than a dozen hyped—up fragrances, I don't understand the bandwagon negative reviews. Being vaguely similar to a few of the big hitters is in no way any indication this is a bad fragrance. On the contrary, this to me and many of my co-workers(many of whom having their own sizable fragrance wardrobe) smells sophisticated, rich, fresh, and mildly sensual. It's like a cross between Armani code and Prada Luna Rossa, both of which are rightfully popular fragrances. To a patient and objective nose, the top note has a greenish minty freshness that reminds of Luna Rossa, the dry down adds to the freshness an apparant woody/lavendar-like twist which is balanced by some vanillic warmth in the background. For the two week period I wore it, I'd garnered more compliments than I would have gotten wearing Hermes Terre D'erme, Armani Code, Paco Rabaine One Million, or Chanel Allure Homme, or D&G The One. It smells similar to the award-winning Armani Code but with a smoother dry-down. Think of it as a spicier yet fresher version of the famous Hermes Kelly Calache. The lingering minty undertone makes it more versatile too. Highly recommended for the young and urbane professional.

Okay, so an all star line up of composers and the opening they choose, a creamy sweet tonka?! Where there are so many really well done tonkas already, why? Well it's interesting. My experience, I saw this bottle when it initially came out, sprayed it and detested how sweet it was. It was like everything I didn't like about YSL La Nuit in one spray. Wanted to try it again years later, and though it's just like Diesel Only the Brave on my skin. Saw it for cheap so I thought I'd sample again, sprayed it on a paper and on skin. the paper stayed in my car, the skin I washed off pretty soon after. 2 and 3 days after, my car smelled amazing. I came back to it, bought it and discovered how amazing the dry down is. It takes the whole day for the sweetness to mellow out, but once it does, it's drydown is superb. It beats out a lot of sweet fragrances in my collection, specifically Dunhill Desire (Red) and Davidoff the Game. It could definitely be a signature and while I wore it with a suit, I'd be more comfortable wearing it on a date or a night out in spring, fall or wearing it during the day in winter. Boring opening, great drydown!

This finds direct relation to Lancome Miracle Homme and Chanel Allure Sport Extreme. If you do not compare this to other designer fragrances and take it for its own creation it is a very good fragrance, provided you use it in cold temperatures. You must pay attention to the temperature and humidity. This fragrance is at optimal between 65 and 35 F. Humidity of the East Coast seems to really boost the experience. I was very glad to find this one, because Lancome discontinued Miracle and it is a great replacement. I personally find that this has a greater longevity when compared to Chanel Allure Sport Exteme. This fragrance is best for daytime in the winter and communicates both energy and confidence. It will last on clothes for over 12+ hours. Wore a cashmere sweater which recieved three sprays and was worn all day on the open cold windy waters, I folded the sweater and put it away, two days later pulled the sweater out for another use and there was BBR still going! WOW! Thank you you Burberry, well done!

I really enjoy this fragrance. It is a pretty intense of cedar and cardamom scent right as you apply it. After 30-45 minutes it dies down and a little berry scent comes through along with the cedar and cardamom. Throughout the day it dies down even more until the dry down. The dry down is at skin level and is a soft tonka bean. At first I thought the dry down smells like vanilla. After reading more of what is in the frag (tonka beans not vanilla). **Tonka Beans smell like a light, slightly sweet vanilla** I might see that the leather comes through at about 1-2 hours (after the initial blast) but it is very slight. On my skin the frag lasts around 8 hours. The dry down occurs at the 4 hour mark and the initial overpowering cedar and cardamom lasts 30-45 minutes. At the 8 hour mark it is really faint- it is still slightly on your skin but only just. I can see wearing this during Spring and Fall. Maybe cooler summer nights. But not to the club/ partying. **Casual days/ nights out with friends**
