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.

I wore the older version of Brit Sheer when my kids were small and they loved it. It's my mom scent. I bought the new version for old times sake and I still love it. This is more elegant than Bright Crystal (which I used to love) and fruitier than Dior Addict Eau Fraiche. All these 3 scents have similar character and I love them, but Brit Sheer is at the moment my favorite. It's clean, refreshing, elegant, moodlifting and can be found in a very affordable price. It does have the spring-summer vibe, but it's crispy sheer scent fits cooler seasons also. I am wearing it now during autumn, every day almost. This will stay in my collection. This is true love. PS. My very first review here, from 2011, is of the older version of Brit Sheer. :)

Burberry Brit Sheer is perfect for the warm and balmy days of Summer! It's not uncommon in my area for the temperature to reach near triple digits and sometimes be over 100. Too much sweetness, vanilla, or musk and even the most beautiful springtime scent becomes cloying and overwhelming here. When the temps spike, this is the bottle I reach for. This perfume is polite but not boring. It has depth! The yuzu makes it playful and the citrus keeps it bright and fresh. The florals round it out and keep it from being too sporty. The base is very clean. Yes, it does smell very similar to certain shampoos - I'm thinking Garnier in particular, but it is blended well so it certainly doesn't mimic cheap body sprays.

This is my summer perfume, I’m about to finish 2nd bottle, will probably get 3rd soon. It’s very fresh flowery/fruity sweet and sour scent, I don’t like citrusy unisex perfumes so this it great alternative to be supper fresh and feminine. Just want to point out it’s not winter scent, it just needs humid or sweat to burst out in to its glory. I can’t find anything really similar to this one, even Tory Burch which has similar opening dries in to something els. This perfume is very unique to me, very fruity fresh without being sirupy, longevity and projection are good too. This scent holds special place in my collection, sort of my sporty/ adventure goer.

Love this perfume, it's fresh and sweet. This makes me feel like someone who just. smells. good. it doesn't feel "perfumy", but rather that you just smell effortlessly clean and fresh, like the combination of well selected personal care products. The girl that wears this sits next to you in your first year university class, always has a high ponytail and takes color-coded notes. She gets good grades and goes to the gym every morning, she probably shows up to AM classes with a smoothie. She has her sh*t together and you don't know how she does it. It's not a groundbreaking perfume by any means, but it's a wonderfully wear-able scent.

This fragrance is great if you want to try Burberry but have thought they were too pricy. This fragrance lasts about 5-6 hours on my skin. I would say its not too sweet, beautifully floral, a little soapy, and ending on a great note musky. Other people in the comments have been saying it opens too sweet and alcoholic, however if you compare this perfume to any Chanel fragrance, this is barely a harsh alcohol opening. For the sweetness, this fragrance is not sweet at all if you've tried Burberry her, Indult manakara, or Prada candy.

A primavera engarrafada, esse perfume é doce, alegre e jovial. A lichia é bastante presente mas sabe dar licença pras demais notas. Ele me remete uma mulher bem jovem num piquenique no verão, que se mistura com o cheiro de frutas frescas no lençol na grama. Romântico sem ser clichê, só peca na sua durabilidade que é baixíssima e projeção mínima. Meu sonho encontrar um que tenha esse cheiro mas que dure e exale mais (e não me venham com Delina pois tem nada a ver apesar de propostas parecidas).

I really love this scent ! I received a travel size from scent bird and fell in love instantly. I always told myself that I would buy a full size bottle and I did just that . I found a bottle at Burlington for 24.99! And it smells even better then the travel size I received from SB . This scent for me is a no brainer it’s light ,refreshing and uplifting and super feminine! To me this is a safe blind buy . I also want to add for this to be a toilette the lasting power is amazing !!

I’ve owned multiple bottles of this and it’s one I always keep in my collection for warm weather. The opening is beautiful; fresh, juicy lychee, mandarin and pear. The floral notes gradually come through the more it dries down. These tone down the fruity sweetness and bring out a soft, more rounded floral character. I just think it’s a beautiful, fresh, feminine, fruity floral. I find the longevity and sillage to be really good on me too, especially for an EDT.

Be sure to get the real one!! Only buy this at stores with authenticity guarantees or you'll end up with something that smells like cheap hair spray. I've bought and returned it from several online stores, cheap mall stores and markets. If you get a real one, it's my nr 1. It's light and fresh like a beautiful flower store. It lasts a long time on your clothes, not so much on your skin and makes you smell yummy all day. Absolute MUST HAVE!

Burberry Brit Sheer is a lovely feminine floral scent. It’s inoffensive and gentle, doesn’t give a headache and uplifts my mood. It’s not a strong scent and doesn’t last very long on my skin, may be 3-4 hours max.. The dry down is weak and projection is also not much, it’s more of a skin scent. One can spray this and go to bed, feeling beautiful. It’s nothing like any of the Burberry Brits, don’t understand why it is a flanker.

I know this is a very boring fragrance. It smells like a really nice shampoo. I personally am a fan. It think it smells so perfect, bright and young, without feeling childish. If smelled this one someone else, I'd think they were very put together, though it's not an outstanding smell. The tartness makes my throat feel a bit funny after some time, which happens to me too when wearing DKNY Be Delicious.

To me this smells so clean and very much like a shower gel. The opening reminds me of The Body Shop Pink Grapefruit scent and I absolutely love it. This is a perfect perfume when you just want to smell clean and fresh and don't want anything too complex or too strong. A bit expensive for what it is but I think this can be found on sale quite often. It makes me feel good :)

I was perfume shopping one day and this scent completely stood out. Fresh, sparkling, bright, and playful. This is such a feel-good scent! I wore this right after purchasing it and didn't tell my man that I was wearing a new scent. He immediately noticed how good I smelled. If he likes a scent as much as I do, I know it's a hit. This scent passed the test!

I love this fragrance. It’s clean and crisp with some sweetness. It’s inexpensive on discount sites. You can get a full size bottle for $30 or less. I experience good longevity and to me that means 6 hours. It is my casual jeans/sweats/shorts fragrance. I wear it in the winter when I want to feel fresh and a pick me up from the dreariness :)

If you’re looking for a strong, long lasting perfume then this is definitely not the one. It’s a very soft, fresh, light smell. You can wear it to work without fear of anyone around you getting a headache or complaining. It’s a perfume that I alwayssss get compliments on when I wear it. Absolutely one of my all time favourite fragrances.

Beautiful, fresh and clean, just out of the shower smell! Like your hair smells if you were to use a herbal essence mixed with steam, shampoo product. Easy reach for hot, humid, summer days. A light musk mix with a light and bright peony and a tad of sweetness maybe coming from the pineapple and pear mixed .

Love this perfume! First spray on my wrist and inner elbows, lasted between 4-5 hours. Has a very beautiful feminine, fresh out the shower scent! Notes i definitely get the most is yuzu mandarin and peony, definitely recommend if youre aiming for something fresh and light, or a fan of Versace Bright Crystal

The yuzu and peony notes along with the litchi and pear...<3 Like a fresh, sweet citrus-y soda on a warm day...perfect if you want a sweet perfume that also uses something else to mellow out that sweetness. I hope i can use it more, it's really nice...plus, the light pink bottle is kinda cute (lol)

I find this more floral than fruity on my skin. Very fresh and a little musky on the dry down. Definitely better than Brit Rhythm as it is so light and fresh and the floral notes so crisp with a hint is sweetness like springtime air. Beautiful fragrance for everyday in spring and summer months.

This perfume has a fresh and clean scent, like a shower. It's bubbly and refreshing, but not overpowering. It's a great choice for anyone who wants to smell nice without offending others. Overall, it's a subtle and invigorating fragrance that's perfect for everyday use. I give it a 9 out 10.

A must-have for summer! This I have had in my collection for 10 years and its my third bottle :) Its so refreshing, like you just came out of the shower :) I can smell peony, pineapple and pear. It gives me summer vibes and its so easy to wear this scent. One of my favorites :)

I love this fragrance so much. I wear it almost every day in summer. Not too sweet and very fresh smell. The only thing it doesn’t last long on my skin just about 2hrs but it lasts on my clothes I still can smell it on my clothes the next day

Perfection! For me it's the smell of dry cosmos.. My greatest passion is the cosmos and everything surrounds our solar system. Some perfumes make me think to that and this is one of them. I inhale it deeply, it instils serenity.

I love wearing it to the office. It's a very fresh, crisp fragrance that goes great with withe shirt and pencil skirt. Inoffensive, easy going, everyday perfume, that gives me much needed burst of zesty energy. Very good.

I loved this perfume! I’ll be repurchasing it soon. Literally the only perfume I’ve worn that has mad people stop and ask what I’m wearing. The opening fruity notes are bright and the dry down is warm and pleasant.

This is a nice fresh and clean girly perfume. It smells like fruity shampoo a bit to me. I love perfumes that make you smell clean and this is exactly what this perfume does. Fresh and pink.

Brit Sheer is an easy everyday perfume. Being friendly in the office, even in hot weather, it doesn't cause annoyance. The scent is feminine, bright, cute and makes people who smell happy.

a young, fresh, bubbly scent. it feels shampoo-y to me, dries down into a clean soapy scent. the longevity and sillage isn’t the best but it’s not too expensive so i think it’s okay.

This scent reminds me of Versace Bright Crystal. It's clean, light scent. I got this a part of a Sephora perfume sampler and used the included coupon to buy a full size.

I love this scent on my skin. Not so empowering. The scent is soft and very smooth. The floral and citrusy smell attracts me and I get compliments wearing this.

Got it for my birthday. The perfume is really refreshing & for young women who are carefree and creative but like to feel fresh throughout the day. :)

This is a nice subtle scent, soft & sparkling. A very light floral with splash hints of fruit. Perfect for when you don't want to be scent naked.

Initial spray gives fruity floral then citrusy, before it settles to clean-smelling, soapy scent. This uplifts my mood! LOVE IT!

Pretty, fun, bright and flirty. Make you feel good kind of scent. I love it. Could be my new signature scent.

Love the scent, so deliciously sparkly and refreshing! I just wish it lasted longer, it lasts 2 hours tops.

Amazing blind buy! It smells sweet & clean. It does smell like shampoo and I’m not mad about that.

Looove this fragrance but I wish it lasted a little longer on me.

I have 4 different Burberry fragrances. Both of the Brit's that I have are 'eternal' on me - people around me can smell it over 12 hrs after I first put it on. Brit Sheer on me is a rosy-peony bomb... that just gets stronger as the day wears on. Sometime after the 12 hr mark it starts to die off - not settle down, this never settles down on me. There is maybe 5 minutes of very alcohol smell, then 12+ hours of all of the notes combined and I have never outlasted this scent - I need to either shower and scrub like crazy person, or drown it out with something massive like Giorgio Red. I must have one of the weirdest chemistries when it comes to certain fragrances. I even get to the point where I have to shower to escape Burberry Woman. I try to wear this in weather that is super cold, because that tends to suck some of the potency out of my other scents, but not Burberry. This isn't much a review of the scent, though - I'll try to focus on the scent itself. It is light and airy - and very rosy-peony blend, which leans more peony throughout the day on me. It is STRONG, as in I can do 1-squirt and quickly spread that shot between both wrists and behind my ears and on my mid-section. Usually I do a little spritz on the girls/decolletage so that I can smell the scent throughout the day. Not with Burberry - sometimes I have to avoid the behind the ears dab and do the nape of my neck and blot the rest near my belly button.For some reason, Johnson's lavendar baby lotion gives this a huge boost of longevity and a little added oomph with projection. The lychee and pineapple leaf play hide and seek after 6 hours. It has a feeling like Chloe Roses de Chloe, it's that light, airy, pink rose feeling. Definitely try before you buy - we all seem to manage to smell similar things, but some of the body chemistry issues are really game changers. Burberry Woman has always been a powerhouse on me, and so too are the other 'newer' scents that I have purchased. I have a Pacifica perfume [Himalayan Patchouli Berry] lasts forever on me - and has the same scent-boost when I use Lavender Johnson & Johnson baby lotion. I can also smell the spritzer cap on a perfume and can tell if it will turn on me - like the flowers have all gone rotten or a metal-twang will emerge shreiking from my skin. I love this fragrance, it is fantastic in projection, lightness, and rosy scent. It's kind of a cold scent, it is not a warm fragrance, it reminds me of winter weddings with roses as center pieces, and it feels like early spring - I live in the North East US, so early spring still brings snow and ice storms, the sun cam be gloriously warm but the air is chilly. So - you'd think this would be great in super hot weather, right? Maybe for you, but not for me. It becomes way too much.

Burberry Brit Sheer is 100 percent shampoo, hands down and nonnegotiable....but, and this is a big but, it does it so in the most pleasing way I've smelled yet. That is of course, if we could possibly forget the tuberose in Poison as smelling a bit like Prell, or vice versa (wink). Brit Sheer is the smell of clean yearned for in mid summer's heat, and all around annihilates Bright Crystal's performance. They are indeed, extraordinarily similar structures, albeit, Versace's was released nine years sooner, and therefor sightly more naive, amping the flowers' brilliance to the point of illegibility. Please don't be fooled by the card test, or bottle cap "sniffer saver" - these faux glimpses will lull you into a purchase of the latter, when here lies the treasure. Brit Sheer shares with us a more refined experience. Outlines of ingredients are detectable, as with the dazzling peony, Yuzu, and litchi top notes. And, the start never stops, which I am transfixed by! It attracts other players, but still stays present. Lovingly opening a gate for juicy pineapple, pear and peach, and very casually allowing, musky woods to encircle subtly. Never loudly screaming to be noticed. Never so high pitched it becomes untranslatable. Just pleasantly durable, imbuing copious amounts of joy to my disposition! So, roll out of the front door and love yourself, with shoulders back and lungs full. Let your hair down during the day - not for them, no - but because you still smell that dazzlingly sweet, shampoo-fresh scent, still frolicking happily in follicles and fibers. You're a lady! You deserve a world that recognizes such as fact, and bequeaths you with nothing less than greatness!

Normally, "clean" or "fresh" scents aren't my thing. My sister loves them, and every time I smell one of her sprays, I'm just severely underwhelmed. I always think, if I wanted to smell like soap, I'd just go take a shower. Her go to spray is VS Pink Fresh & Clean... I hate it. It's so boring, basic, etc. So, when I saw the reviews on this calling it a "clean" scent or smelling like soap and shampoo, I sighed. I was hoping I wouldn't be disappointed. Today, I got it and sniffed it. And while I gotta say, this gives me laundry soap vibes, it smells like the most delicious, luxurious, expensive laundry soap I've ever smelled. This is LOVELY. The Litchi, Yuzu and Mandarin give this such an effervescent sparkle, while the Peony rounds out the composition with a floral influence, and the musk softens it without adding any sweetness. This is a perfect fragrance for campus, or the office. Even a casual stroll around town. I'm so glad I have this so when spring rolls around, I'll be prepared. Gorgeous, light, inoffensive scent. Burberry NEVER misses, at least not to me... However, I will say, if you have allergies, test this first. I sprayed it on and I love it, but it triggered an allergy attack for me. I've never had an allergic reaction to perfume before which is disappointing because I LOVE this smell, but I'm sensitive to something that's in it. I can't stop sneezing. Lol, oh well. Just a disclaimer!

I love love love the original Brit, which is warm and comforting and delicious. Unlike modern flankers that usually smell about 90% the same as the original, Brit Sheer is light, soft, and clean-smelling. I think the bottle tells you exactly what you will get--soft peony, a little fruit juice, and light musk. I find myself spraying this on before bed since it still somehow has the comforting quality of the OG Brit. It isn't stupendously long-lasting, as scents like this tend to be, but I don't mind. I have gotten compliments when I wear this during the day, so it can actually have nice silage if you spray enough. I don't know what the review below is saying about it being overpriced, though. I got my bottle for less than $25 on a grey market site. This is an easy to wear, unoffensive, pretty scent, and I am glad to have this in my collection.

To me, this is an almost exact dupe of Gucci Envy Me. At first, when you spray it, the opening is very very sheer and green. Then, after a few minutes, you start smelling Envy Me, which then at that moment, its likeness is of a 98%. The scent is exactly how the bottle looks, so when you look at the bottle, it is a true depiction of what's inside. It is a veil of sheer light, translucent pink. This is excellent for the summer in bright, hot mornings. ADDENDUM: At this moment, I have Gucci Envy Me on my left wrist and Brit Sheer on my right, and I'm comparing them side by side. There is a noticeable difference with them. Brit Sheer is more dry, more on the green/fresh side and it almost has a metallic-y nuance, whereas Envy Me is sweeter with a violety nuance. If I had to stay with one on them, it would be Envy Me, it's nicer.

The yuzu is sparkling. I love this. The lack of lotus and different fruits makes this a bit different from Bright Crystal. The two are similar,especially,because of the yuzu. Every time i see the word Sheer in a perfume i get apprehensive because i immediately think it's transparent and unnocicable. I'm glad i tried this. I like this better than Burberry Brit. Great for spring,summer or any morning when you want something light and refreshing to jumpstart your day. I tried the plaid (not the one pictured on this page) bottle at Lord n Taylor and fell in love. I ordered that one when i got home and recieved this 2015 edition. I'd like to know if there is any difference. I may have to go back wearing what i have on one arm and try the other bottle on my other arm to find out for myself.

This is a clean floral along the likes of Bright Crystal (which I have) and Dior Addict Eau Fraiche (which my mother has), but it’s less bright and effervescent, and more mellow than the other two. I imagine the person wearing this to be more understated, reserved and not trying hard to grab anyone’s attention by being flirty. My mom was gifted this for Christmas, and it smells aquatic and juicy at the same time. It smells like you’ve just gotten out of the shower and the air is steam mixed with shampoo and soap. It’s pleasant and mass-appealing, a little ordinary, but not quite boring. A reliable and easy reach. Although I prefer Dior Addict Eau Fraiche to this, this is still a lovely scent and if you have a penchant for freshies, this ought to be on your radar.

I've had this frag forever. My best friend purchased this for me as a birthday gift and it's wonderful, even to this day! I don't think it's unique per se, many perfume houses have that one crowd pleasing, neutral perfume that has no real complexity, but it's pretty enough to be interesting. For me, it's also hard to find a fresh floral-citrusy perfume that doesn't lean heavily in either direction. It's a perfect harmony of both and I don't get nauseated or overwhelmed. It's got a really youthful, feminine, fresh vibe; I think someone 18-25 would really enjoy this frag. As an EDT, it's not long lasting at all, but it's got moderate projection, it's inoffensive, and great for work/errands. It's a safe blind buy for sure.
