Burberry Brit Sheer

I smelled this side by side with Weekend (my old love), and I have to say that this is a younger sister (or daughter?) to Weekend. This is Weekend diluted with fresh fruits added in place of the deep florals. I believe this should have been released as a Weekend flanker, not a Brit flanker, as it has absolutely nothing in common with the latter. At the start, Brit Sheer and Weekend are quite different, Brit Sheer opens much juicier and lighter. But at some point, they start to smell quite similar (hello musky peach blossom!). 'Clean, bright, fresh, peachy, musky, uplifting', are words I would use to describe both scents...but Weekend is warmer, heavier, cozier, more floral and has a very noticeable clean laundry note. Brit Sheer is much fruitier with citrus and litchi, sweeter, lighter, much more crisp and airy. Same DNA though! If I had both, I would wear Brit Sheer in late spring and summer, and Weekend in fall and early spring. Lovers of Weekend should check this out for a more modern, lighter alternative...and haters of Weekend need not worry, everything you dislike about Weekend (I assume it's the heavy, laundry-floral vibe), is nowhere in Brit Sheer. I will definitely be treating myself to a large bottle of this next summer. Longevity of Brit Sheer is moderate on my skin (good for a light summer scent), as is the sillage, but I can still smell it days later on my scarf.

This is the lightest most agreeable pleasant fragrance I have tested. I am not sure I could ever get sick of this one? I have been wearing it from this rollerball I have been carrying around for a better part of a year. LOVE IT. :) I think being rollerball helps too. I am thinking of getting a spray. It is softly floral and yet very clean. All this time didn't even pay attention to the notes or anything. :) I am just about out of it. Will need to invest in a new one when I run out! I am realizing it's ok if many of them are too rich, heavy, musky for me... this one is just perfect. And how many do you need? When you find the right one? breath of fresh air. And (smelling my wrists) don't ask me why? But once it dries down and melts into my skin it smells like fresh clean laundry. :) and some soft flowers. Don't ask me why? LOVE IT. :D (yes that cozy blanket or sheet fresh out of the dryer that you just want to smell and cuddle up in, that is clean and soft kinda happy feeling. But girly floral too. Very soft. Not cloying or sweet. Slight fruity opening. But not anything fruity salad. This is probably appropriate for any age or occasion. So light and clean. Love it. :) Classy, pretty and clean. :D Is it me? Does this have just a little touch of powdery on the dry down? Love soft florals? Go get some! :D

This is one of my favorite fragrances of all time. It's what I wear when I want to smell good but don't want to think about it too much. I've gotten tons of compliments in every type of setting and occasion, and while it's very light and playful and young, I really don't think you can go wrong when wearing this scent. It's not overbearing at all, and while it's definitely strong in the citrus department (especially at first), you don't exactly smell like you just spritzed on a citrusy perfume. No one's ever asked me what I'm wearing - it just seems to evoke a "Hey, you smell really good!" reaction. The initial application is citrusy and fruity - I find the pineapple and pear to be the main notes - and rather quickly but smoothly settles down into a more fresh floral scent. I do find that there can be a *very* subtle artificial quality sometimes in the top and middle notes, but it doesn't bother me very much, if at all, and pick it up very rarely. I absolutely love the drydown, which to me just about smells like the best part about fresh laundry (without the soapy, powdery connotations) - clean, crisp, and happy. This is a very crisp, clean, fragrance that manages to be flirty and feminine without being cloying or obvious. The main downside is that it doesn't last long :(

Optimism a bottle!!! Like many Burberry perfumes, Burberry Brit is a Sheer adventure for your nose. Impressions: Initial spritz: smells like burst of grapefruit with some musk 1 minute: the musk has dissappears, and the citrus component morphs into a sweeter experience reminiscent of pineapples 5 minutes: the scent becomes sweeter with litchi bursting forth and hints of cedar wood As the day goes on the most noticable notes are litchi and cedar. (Cedar seems to be more pronounced in the warmer months while the litchi and citrus notes are more noticable during winter.) My skin type: Oily / Youthful Office safe: yes when applied lightly Potency: Medium ( 2-5 sprays) Projection: 4 feet Longetivity: 12 hrs + suprisingly long lasting for an EDT Timing: Fall & Winter day time (to musky on me in the spring & summer) Packaging: 7/10 standard for Burberry Perfumes Price: at Winners $59 CND for 100 ml / 3.38 oz $39 - $31 CND for 50 ml / 1.69 oz Will I Repurchase: YES Disclaimer: my experience may be different from your experience based on my skin type, the season, and my personal tastes

I really adore this perfume, it's one of my favorites. It opens with a soft fruity, tropical mix, with the litchi the only fruit I can actually identify. Then it settles down, and it is just a sweet, clean, dreamy soapy smell on my skin. It's a very feminine clean smell. What I absolutely love is that despite how utterly soft the scent is, it lasts and lasts on my skin. I remember when I first tried this on, I forgot I had tried it. Throughout the day I kept getting these whiffs of beautiful, sweet, clean soap. Finally after a few hours I realized it was this fragrance and made up my mind to immediately purchase it. I sort of think of this as the ultra feminine counterpart of Light Blue in my perfume arsenal. Don't misunderstand me, they don't smell alike; rather their nature is the same. Light blue is a clean, everyday unoffensive fragrance for me, but it borders on being masculine. Burberry Brit Sheer is the same in my mind: a clean, everyday unoffensive fragrance, but ultra feminine in nature.
