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.

One of the few designer frags that seem extra well-blended, and that evolve beautifully and entertainingly! The dry down is not what I expected from the top notes. Good longevity; moderate to discreet sillage.

This Summer edition makes you use Brit in hot summer days which makes me very happy. Someone who loves Brit should definitely get Summer edition as well. This is soooo good, I just love this fragrance!

Bought it from my local Macys when I was looking for a new summer/spring cologne. I tried out several others but this was the first one I sprayed on a tester card and kept coming back to it. It does have a citrus smell to it at first, but not overly fruity. As it drys down, it smells slightly woody yet also has a tinge of the lime and ginger from before. It makes me sort of think of walking through a forest right after a rain and the sun is coming out. I'm going to have to wear this more, but when I think of the best days to wear it, it would be on say an overcast or rainy day during the spring or summer. It's a gentlemens scent in my opinion, one you could easily wear to a business casual office or semi-formal event, but just as well wear it on the weekends. So far for longevity I think I've gotten about 4-6 hours with it, with the top notes lasting for almost an hour. Projection is average, and the sprayer on this is wonderful, one shot to the center of the neck about 10 inches away covers my whole neck. If your looking for a summer scent that isnt an aquatic or have a floral hint to it, I highly suggest you smell this out. 8/10 of so far.

A pleasant, soft, powdery, creamy fragrance that on my skin produces average longevity and minimal projection. I think it's safe to apply a few extra spritz with this one, my experience has been that it helps with the longevity. To my nose the dominant notes are a combination of rose, ginger, mandarin orange and tonka bean which creates a nice creamy aroma. It's a very wearable warm weather scent that won't offend the majority of people who come into contact with it. Brit Summer is very versatile and can be dressed up or down however, I think it's perfect for bright sunny casual days and wears nicely in tropical climates especially during the summer when you spend a lot of time outdoors.

Hello, Very good EDT around Rose, Tonka and Ginger. To me these three notes are prominent : Ginger and Rose dominate at first, then it's a mix of Rose, Tonka and Woods. In comparison with the original Burberry Brit, this one is reinforced in fruity notes (ginger and orange). To me it's better than the original for any season. Most reviewers agree it's long lasting and with a moderate sillage. I would mention that the sillage can be soft to relatively heavy depending on how much you apply. For an EDT, its longevity is really good. If you are interested in an EDT with a strong note of Rose and yet some masculinity, you should try this one.

Owned this and the original. Enjoyed my time with this one better(esp. since the bottle was bigger(100ml, whereas the regular brit was just a 30ml & didn't need to be bigger). The summer can be worn all year. I wouldn't buy it again as I have other fragrance priorities & it was also kinda feminine & overbearing.

Saw the positive reviews in Fragrantica that's why I decided to give it a try. It started of smelling pleasant but maybe not my cup of tea , the note of powdery smell reminds me so much of babies powder. So I would just give it a 3/5 rating.

I can't detect rose... but it's a nice summer scent that can be found extremely cheap. Its one of those easy- dumb reaches that is great for any collection. The smell is nice, the bottle is cool, the price is nice. I'll take it. 6/10

Excelente pedida pra dias quentes em que vc não quer um perfume muito forte mas q deixe um rastro bacana e disfarce bem o cheiro do suor. Comprei de Blind não me arrependo.

Smells very much like the original, hard to tell the difference. This is a bit less dense and fresher, but at least 80% the same.

I agree. It smells like baby powder. To me it doesn't last long.

got a lot of compliments on this one

Rose/ ginger heavy. with bergamot & cedar. A somewhat Lite version of the OG, nothing more nothing less. Citrus seems to be more zesty & prominent in the OG throughout. After a few hours, Summer dies down to mainly a citrus fragrance w/ only traces of rose & ginger in the background. Overall I prefer the OG

Wow, ginger overload! This has nothing to do with summer though, it's a very feminine scent that could be worn any time of the year. Definitely not a date scent. More of a casual, any time of day, with friends and family scent. Also a good work scent. Fresh, clean and safe. It may be too feminine for some guys. Scent 5/10 Longevity 5/10 Sillage 5/10 Extremely average. (Mind the oxymoron.)

Overall I'm impressed with this new scent from burberry. By no means was i a fan of the original Brit but this one is much better on my skin. For a comparison this juice reminds me a little of the creaminess you find in the dry down of the burberry london for men. The scent starts fresh just as you would expect for any other summer type fragrance but after the initial spray the scent gets very warm and inviting. Typically when i smell summer fragrances they are very light and livey and want to make you energetic but this is dfferent. There is a very calming and almost dessert like quality to this. Almost similar to the cream of a key lime pie if that makes any sense. By drawing these together it seems that the summer edition is close to a chanel edition blanche, now i personally havent smelled blanche but from what i have been hearing it is very similar to the burberry summer edition just that blanche is more fruity with lemon instead of the lime in the summer edition. Overall this fragrance is a definite try for the curious buyer, it is only offered in 100ml so I would not recommend buying this but try it on your skin because the dry down and base is what really makes this scent very pleasing. Even a good buy for you young guys going to prom or anyone going to a summer wedding

babay powder, talc in a bottle. needless to say its good. its fresher than original where the original version can get almost too spicy. the original on me is like baby powder with a potent spice thrown in, but this summer edition removes that spice. all in all a good change up from most summer aquatics etc.

hi! this is my partner’s signature scent and i can’t seem to find it online, would love to buy it off someone that isn’t using it! we’re based in the uk ^^ thanks :) [also am a broke uni student so please don’t scam me]

there is no Brit Summer in Vietnam so it's unlucky that I don't have a chance to smell it can you here please advise that if it is much different from the original Brit? or just the top notes???

No different to the original. What a waste of a flanker. If you have and like the original don't waste your time with this one. Just stick to the original, can't wait to get rid of this bottle.

Very pleasant powdery creamy vibe with some light spice...if you are not into powder try before you blind buy..I like it and its a solid addition to your collection..overall score 8/10...

Its remind me of a baby wife or baby powder on the topnote and a johnson baby oil with a hint of rose on the dry down not interesting fragrance i cant recommends this to anyone.

Overall I really like this fragrance but it smells almost exactly like Kenzo Homme Boisee which I really like. Now to see which one has better longevity.

This one is too powdery/feminine for my taste. It's definitely a Burberry smell, but I'd usually go for Burberry Brit over this even in the hotter months

More watery smell added on previous Brit. Base notes smell like baby powder.

Smells like a baby's head after a bath. Soft baby powder.
