Burberry Brit Sheer (2015)

SHEER "PINK" MUSK. Opens with a fruity-floral burst of litchi & yuzu with tropical, citrus & green tones from pineapple-leaf, that deepens into the floral heart of peony rounded out with peach-blossom & pear nuances, all resting on a white-musk base with soft woody nuances. Alongside there's a soft shampoo vibe that carries the other elements. Has the My Burberry Blush DNA, but this is a lighter, muskier sheer type of scent. Overall, I get a sheer, clean "pink" musk scent with average performance for a light summer wearing experience. This is the perfect scent to wear for that 'just-shampooed-hair' vibe. Feel free to spray with abandon. It's a love for me. Enjoy! Update 07/13/24: Wearing this one today. I used to wear it a lot although I found the performance very light. Now, however, the the performance has improved and it really shines in the heat, with good projection for close to 3 hours after which it becomes a skin scent. Tropical & pineapple over a shampoo-like base. Still a love. Update 05/26/25: Sprayed this on today and really enjoying the clean "pink" musk-shampoo vibes. My appreciation for the cleaner musk here is growing each time I wear this. Love it. Contrast to Bright Crystal Versace: These are different, but there's something similar in the "pink" shampoo vibe. However Bright Crystal is more floral while Burberry Brit Sheer 2015 is more musky. Contrast to My Burberry Blush: These are different, but again there's something similar in the "pink" shampoo vibe. My Burberry Blush is more fruity-floral, while Burberry Brit Sheer 2015 is muskier. Contrast to Incanto Shine Salvatore Ferragamo: These are different, but there are similarities with pineapple and a "pink" shampoo vibe. Incanto Shine is stronger and more fruit-forward, while Burberry Brit Sheer is muskier. Incanto Shine has stronger performance. Contrast to Eternity Now Calvin Klein: These are different, but there are similarities with peach-blossom and a "pink" musky vibe. The musk is cleaner in Burberry Brit Sheer 2015 (listed as white-musk), while it's more salty-animalic in Eternity Now. Initially Eternity Now had stronger performance but now they're about equivalent.

My second favorite spring staple after Eclat d’Arpège - smells super bright, innocent, clean, fresh and girly! I can't agree more with the reviews saying that the scent of Brit Sheer is akin to that of hairspray. This perfume marks the beginning of my love for fresh florals and shampoo-ish scent and I swear it will always be in my collection. Brit Sheer is a beautiful marriage between peony and litchi, with peach blossom lingering in the background. It opens with a blast of alcohol and yuzu; the latter smells very sharp and bitter, but fortunately fades away within a few seconds before settling to a sparkling litchi, adding a hint of sweetness to the composition. The peony and peach blossom, which smell so delicate and uplifting, follow shortly after that and remain prominent throughout the life of the fragrance. In the dry down, you will be greeted with subtle, comforting musk and warm woods - a divine conclusion of this lovely fragrance. If I had to choose one word to describe this, it would be 'effervescent' - the scent reminds me of an innocent and graceful, albeit fragile and a little naive princess who hasn't yet fully enter adulthood With 7 atomizations, it lasts about 7-8 hours on me in an air-conditioned environment, which is quite unexpected given that the perfume is so airy and light. The projection and sillage is not terrible either: it projects within an arm length for the first hour before turning into a skin scent, making it the perfect scent for cuddling and personal/intimate moments as well as being office-friendly, while still garnering compliments from others around you if they come close enough since the scent is crowd-pleasing and not overly intricate. Brit Sheer is definitely aptly named -- light, delicate, youthful and feminine without being juvenile or boring. The pale pink bottle also reflects the girly and innocent character of the scent. I'd say that this is what I imagine pink to smell like, and I really recommend it to those who are looking for a fresh floral with a reasonable price tag.

I absolutely adore this perfume and think that it is THE ultimate fresh ”clean girl” citrusy-musky-floral fragrance. It has a perfect balance being bright and optimistic, but not juvenile, classy and elegant, but not stuffy or outdated, understated yet not boring. Yes, sillage and longevity aren’t huge and the scent isn’t very ”unique” or “exciting” - but it isn’t supposed to be any of that. Understated effortless everyday elegance and class is what it is. It has somewhat spring-summery vibe to it, but in my opinion can be worn any season. It is great for daytime wear, but sophisticated enough for nighttime too for those who don’t like wearing heavier perfumes. I find comparisons to Bright Chrystal (which by the way seem to be casually thrown around whenever any bottle is pink regardless of scent profile) ridiculous. Apart from belonging to the same general category of perfumes, those two don’t smell at all alike. It is about the same level of perceived similarity if someone said that Princess Catherine reminded them of Vicky Pollard as they are both British...

I was afraid I wouldn't love this so much! I won't pay more money than a perfume is worth to me. In my mind, everything has a "price". If that price isn't met, then I'm out! It just so happens, I may have spent a teensy bit more for this perfume if I'd have known it was so adorable! That's it...it's adorable! It's a pink bow on the prettiest present. It's so CUTE! But it isn't "childish". I smell birthday parties, sunshine, frilly dresses and cake...(a.ah..hem)in adult form. It's fun and clean...quite respectable! A super mom, an elementary teacher...yup! The first spray or two scared me. I thought "Burberry!? where's your signature clean wood scent!?" and the next day of wearing, "THERE IT IS!". :-) It's Burberry, it's wonderful as usual, and it's litchi! It really tones down the sharp peony. I LOVE peony, but it CAN be a touch annoying at first. It's a soft fluffy kitten in this perfume. No waiting! You can just smoosh your face into your clothing and breath ponies and rainbows! :-)

Beautiful pear perfume! If you enjoy pear in your perfume, this one is a must-have. I understand why some people are comparing this to shampoo/soap, but isn’t shampoo supposed to smell good? This was love at first smell for me, back in December 2015 when my boyfriend at the time gave it to me as a Christmas gift. I remember drowning myself in this perfume during the hot days in Ivory Coast. To me this is a fresh fruity floral scent, beautiful citrus coming from the yuzu which complements the litchi note very well. The dry down is woody and musky and very floral but not a potent floral. Very soft clean fragrance, great for layering. Nice for summer and spring. I personally don’t like wearing perfume to the gym but this one is safe to do so because it almost work as a skin scent. Lasting power is very very poor but for the price I don’t mind.
