Burberry Brit Summer for Men

What I look for in a summer flanker is basically all the things I loved in the original fragrance given a lighter, airy twist with the addition of citrus, lime or mandarin and that is exactly what Brit Summer is - the original Brit dressed in a white Linen shirt and khakis so to speak. The original rose, ginger and tonka notes are now accompanied by the mandarin, grapefruit and bergamot in the opening for that summery feeling. The rest of the heart and dry down are identical to original Brit and since I love the original to bits, that's a good thing. Longevity and Projection are a tad lesser than the original but perfectly acceptable, projects well for the first couple of hours and lasts about 6 hours on skin. If you like the original Brit, you can blindly get this, it's the perfect summer twin. If you found the original too sweet, give this a try as well. For me it's a flanker done right. love it. 8.5/10

This so called Summer version is so close to the original and yet it does fell different. The baby powder -sih ascpect is much weaker here. On the other hand, ginger and rose are absolutely gorgeous, and yet again it is a masculine rose. At first it seemed to be too sweety with too much tonka but it takes few seconds to dissipate. I can hardly smell any citrus at all. The woods are very soft and vetiver adds a little dryness which overall gives a less powdery finish. I am a great fan of Burberry Brit and will make a lot of use out of this Summer edition. If you didn't like the baby powderness in the original, or thought it was too rosy, try this, it will make your Summer different not only for you but for those around you as well.

Finally got some original Brit so I think it is safe to do a review. If I had a choice between this and the original brit. I would choose summer. Brit doesn't last on my skin. The opening is similar with summer actually being stronger. It has a touch of citrus and a little less ginger but still heavy with the powdery smell. I love it but some people don't. I had someone ask if I just put on lotion when I was wearing it once. It is a one of a kind scent and if you like the brit I think you will be more happy with this one.

Nice powdery perfume. For tropical Countries, certainlly Brit 'Summer' is recomended for winter or fall, not summer! The first time I used it, women asked me the name of the perfume. That was nice, means that sillage is OK. Longevity is very good. Top notes are fresher and very different from Brit traditional, but the base is the same. One hour after application, it is transformed into the older Brit: Nice baby powder, for those who like.

First time this summer and after reading again the reviews I see there's a lot of antagonism in the opinions, any how I think is not too similar to the regular Brit, and I so love both, and actually are my favo's from this house.
