Burberry Brit Summer for Women

This a fresh green scent with a hint of sweetness, it has been very humid and sticky, thunderstorms etc where I am and I have found in these conditions this scent really comes into it's own, it smells great for oppressive weather and gives you a feeling of clean zingeyness. I agree with Christinavictory about being reminiscent of a mojito, I totally got that yesterday evening during a storm! For me it starts full on lime tea and green pear, as it warms on your skin you get a sweet peony and creamy almond finally vanilla musk woodsey notes, very nice indeed could unisex in my opinion. I've found wearing it with dove body lotion seems to complement it well, I think it brings out the almond scent which stops it being to sharp. For EDT I found it's staying power good, though you feel so fresh when you put it on I did respray 2 or 3 times yesterday even though 1 or 2 would have been enough. I'm really pleased with this and it will be my go to in hot humid weather. Recommended to my friend who got a spritz on paper in the shop during her lunch break and it smelt horrid, when she sprayed mine on her skin she couldn't believe the difference they smelt like different scents, so make sure you try on your skin otherwise you might be unnecessarily put off a lovely scent.

This gem has surprising longevity for an edt. I sprayed it on at 9am this morning, and now at 5pm I can still smell it when I bring my arm up to my face. Other than the almondy base this perfume doesn't really resemble the original brit to me. It's dominated by the lemon note from the beginning to just before the end. The pear note is pretty prevalent throughout. My experience with this surprised me somewhat because I had read about how similar this fragrance was to the original, but I was not surprised in a bad way. This fragrance is pretty fantastic. It's the sprite to the original brit's latte if that makes sense. Where the original brit is more creamy this one has a little more bite. It smells fresh and clean without being soapy or sterile. I would say that it could be unisex, but it leans very much more towards the feminine, and I'm sure that's mostly because of the pear involved. All in all, I'm happy I purchased this one (at a discount from groupon *Cheer*). And I'm more than a little sad that this is only a summer fragrance.

Good choice for those who find the original a bit too cloying. A very fresh scent with a hint of sweetness in it. Almost certainly feminine, but not to a point of being girly girl. Just got this myself hours ago and so far I'm enjoying it. I got lots of green tea freshness which is balanced by the sweetness of the sugared almonds. I like it that way as it keeps the scent from becoming too syrupy sweet because of the sugared almonds or too bitter-green by the green tea. Of course other ingredients also affected the composition in some ways, but as a whole it is certainly to me a pretty balanced concoction. As I said, fresh yet sweet. Staying power is pretty decent for an EDT. This one is a sure compliment getter, provided if you use it in just the right amount. Highly recommended for just about any occasion, be it office or a special event. It is not so heavy so it is suitable for both day and night wear.

Delicious, delicious! I instantly and easily loved Brit summer. Light, fresh, sweet citrusy. Now this scent reminds me of Disneyland since I wore it there and I could smell it all day. It takes more sprays to get longevity but get some on your shirt and you'll be catching yummy candied pear-citrus whiffs all day. This is so fresh-sweet it is mouthwatering. I love lime and pear. Tea gives it a calming property and ensures this never becomes overly sweet or screechy. The sugared almond keeps it mellow-sweet. A perfect balance of calm/energy/fresh. Wear this for a friendly perk-up, or for summer of course. Try this if Brit was too heavy. I think I am officially a Burberry groupie. Now, time to scour the web for an extra bottle as back-up. Summer lasts 6 months here!! I'd love my summer to smell of this.

I almost didn't buy this. Citrus fragrances always scare me because I'm afraid they're going to be too sharp. But thank goodness, there really isn't any sharpness to this. It's like the lime was sugared down, I think someone mentioned lemonade? I totally get it! Like a super juicy half tea, half lemonade. I know there's no lemons in here, or technically straight sugar, but somehow that's what comes through in the beginning and it's awesome. It softens a bit to the peony but never quite loses the lemonade factor. That may be a negative for some, but for a fun summer fragrance I think it's great, both for the really hot days and for the light rainy days. It only comes in an EDT, but it's pretty long lasting for an EDT so at least there's that.

I am in love once again with one of many fragrances by Burberry. A real delight. Those who want to compare it to Brit EDP or EDT, although nice in their own right, would be mistaken. There is no tonka, vanilla, or sugar present in this fragrance. Instead smooth green tea, and soft musk are added to the traditional peony and green almond. The warm amber and dark wood in Brit Summer is much lighter as well, leaving way for the musky, citrusy, almondy freshness of this fragrance. A nice warm weather fragrance that has very good longevity and silage for an EDT. Good for any occasion, can definitely be worn without offending others.

To start off I’m a man and I got this fragrance by mistake as I ordered the original Burberry Brit for men but got this instead. BUT I looked at the note breakdown at the back of the bottle and thought the note breakdown looked interesting so I decided to give it a shot and I was pleasantly surprised at how good this smelled. After smelling this I was actually confused as this smells like it could be a mans fragrance or unisex at least as it smells VERY similar to Givenchy PI and due to the mahogany note in this I’d even say this is also more masculine than PI. To describe the scent on its own this opens up with a nice blast of lime,tea and almond giving this a very smooth but fresh and relaxing smell.Once this dries down the citrus and tea stays in the background but then the almond and mahogany take over giving this a milky but deep masculine touch. I really love the Mahogany note in this which is similar to the Mahogany note in Mahogany Woods by Bath and Body Works. All in all I love this smell and it smells like a half lemonade/half iced tea mix if you then applied almond milk. It sounds weird but this stuff is delicious smelling and great for all seasons for both Men and Women. Performance on this is great as it lasts 6-12 hours and this doesn’t project very well BUT it does leave a nice Sillage and you will get whiffs if this hours later. Needless to say even though I got sent this by mistake I’m going to end up keeping this hidden gem and I actually like this scent better than Brit anyways ! First initial wearing review — 8 out of 10 ! Unique smell with a great blend of notes that’s good for all season

I have a like-dislike relationship with this fragrance and have more than once considered giving it away. I'm glad I didn't. I finally realized that what kinda spoils this fragrance for me is the green tea and lime, which initially open strong and sharp (in my opinion). For this reason, I never spray it on my neck since it would be overpowering and screechy. If you must use it behind your ears, use the dab method. The wrists and inner elbow are best for sprays. Once it dries down, the soft almond and amber come through leaving a creamy, warm scent. The sillage can be strong if you use a heavy hand, but this doesn't typically last to the end of the day without re-spraying. Longevity might be better when sprayed on clothing. I initially thought that this fragrance was best used in the summer as it's likely to project a lot better in warmer weather. Nope. I tried using it during the summer once and ended up with a headache-inducing cloying mess. My body chemistry doesn't do well with green tea and lime/lemon notes in warm weather, but I carry them flawlessly in colder months. Burberry Brit has lemon in it, yet I find it to be a lot more wearable than Brit Summer. So if I were to pick between the two, I'd go for the original Brit. I would suggest testing Brit Summer before you buy it, as those tart notes may not work well for everyone. I don't regret this blind-buy and I'm glad I held on to it.

Tranquility in a bottle!!! I enjoying this perfume a lot. Burberry perfume creators if you read this please make Burberry Brit Summer in EDP form.

I was so surprised, as this was over 14 hrs after I had applied it. Brit summer projects more as the weather warms up. Projection: arms length for 4-6hrs, then sits close to skin for 6 - 8 hrs Longevity: 12 hrs + Update #2: Burberry Brit EDP is the better / stronger alternative to Brit Summer. Burberry Brit EDT had no almonds or vanilla when applied to my skin.

I finally got this in the mail! Burberry Brit Sheer is one of my absolute favorite fragrances, but I had never before smelled Burberry Brit. Well, the other day I did go to the store and test the original Burberry Brit, and it just smelled TERRIBLE on me. Anyways, I got really nervous and then I read on here that Brit summer was similar to the original...and I was going to cancel, but the person I bought it from had already shipped it. I figured I might as well try it, and I am SO GLAD I didn't cancel it. This smells absolutely nothing like the original Brit. I love London, it's one of my favorite places in the world, but there is nothing about this fragrance that screams "British!" to me. Instead, it screams "Cuba!" The description does not say that there is any mint or sugar in this fragrance, but I can distinctly smell both along with a strong lime and a little bit of rum. Essentially, this fragrance smells EXACTLY like drinking a mojito in a garden of peonies. It really brings me back to Havana. I LOVE it, A++ Edit: the dry down is a bit reminiscent of Burberry Brit. I like it way better in the beginning, but the beginning last several hours on me. While there are some similarities in the dry down, this is still a lot better than the original.

I have a tester bottle that looks exactly as shown (vertical - not diagonal -white plaid design, tho without the cap) but labeled Burberry Limited EDT only, no Brit or Summer anywhere on the bottle or sticker. The sticker on the back states very similar notes but with some subtle differences to those on Fragrantica, they are as follows: Top notes: lime, icy pear, green almonds (not tea) Heart notes: white peony, sugared almonds Base notes: mahogany wood, amber, vanilla beans ( not musk) This fragrance opens with a crisp, zingy, bright and very fresh lime note that manages not to be sharp, is slightly green without being bitter. Within an hour it gives way to a delicately sweet “wedding” almond note, then it rests on a very smooth wood and vanilla/amber base. This phase lasts for maybe 4 more hours but is very close to the skin. In the excruciating summer heat I don’t mind reapplying it every hour to enjoy the refreshing initial limeade blast. Overall it’s an easy grab for hot summer days when you need a zing but still crave some sweetness 😊

The top notes are fresh and green, lifted by the lime and tea notes, and the pear adds just a touch of fruitiness, without causing the fragrance to feel sweet. In the heart of the fragrance, I can't say that I detected peony or almond specifically, or any of the individual base notes, for that matter. What I did experience was a gradual increase in dewiness of a cool, green, minimalistic scent which evoked memories of sun-warmed blades of summer grass and the green Bumble and Bumble Seaweed shampoo I used to love a long time ago. And just as I was beginning to think this clean, fresh, green, and somewhat unisex fragrance would be perfect for hot summer weather, I walked outside into the cold rainy morning, and realized this is a perfect "California Winter" scent for my skin.

The opening is very citrusy, fresh and clean but it quickly deepens into a vanillic, almondy ambery scent. It's not exactly pleasing, nor is it disgusting. Very warm and cozy. Feminine and not too in your face. I don't get much pear to be honest, not a fruity perfume at all, BUT the tea is here somewhere behind if you pay attention. I find Brit Summer way better, more airy and subtle than Brit. Although both are immensely sweet which is why I stopped wearing them after 20. This is not a very mature scent. I place this on the same line asLa Vie est Belle or Black Opium... young girly girl perfumes. It's definitely a day scent, uncomplicated, smooth and happy. Smells like garden afternoons to me !

So refreshing! Burst of icy lime and pear, lightly sugared almond heart with a fresh, yet sensual drydown of amber, wood and white musk. Light, sexy fragrance for summer. It brought the image of sitting in an adirondak chair whose wood has been warmed by the sun and body heat on the back porch overlooking a lake. You're with someone special, sharing smiles and the occasional laugh. A vase of lightly scented flowers sits on a side table with a selection of iced tea, sparkling limeade with iced pear cubes and sugared almonds. A rather safe scent, but lovely.

One of my first ever perfumes. Very easy to wear, and affordable. The opening is very heavy in lime and tea for me, with a hint of sweetness from the pear. That citrus and tea scent stays through the whole journey, but becomes more mellow, sweet with pear and somewhat smooth, thanks to the almond, and musk. An easy buy, not overwhelming and very pleasant. Good purchase for a sensitive nose, amazing for the summer and good throughout the whole year. The sillage is pretty weak unless over sprayed, the longevity is great.

I bought my first bottle at Marshall’s 5+ years ago? Love the limey sparkling opening and cozy almonds notes. When I finished the bottle, it was discontinued & couldn’t find it anymore with a decent price. Got an opened bottle 3/4 full recently from Poshmark & the refreshing top notes are gone and all the other notes are dulled. I’ll finish the bottle. Maybe if I had bought a new in box bottle it’ll smell better? Who knows? Just be careful when you buy an opened one, you might be disappointed.

Brit summer is a gentle sister of the 5th Avenue Style in my opinion. Despite the difference in notes on the list, they both start with nearly identical burst of citrus, while in Brit citrus soon gives way to pear and tea in 5TH Avenue Style it stays for much longer with dominant rasberry and spice. It the end they are still, two very similar scents.. with brit being sweeter not so in your face fume. This is a refreshing, soft, creamy and very wearable scent, perfect for a hot summers day.

This creation by Burberry house was in my test list, but when I saw that many of you find similarities with the original Brit,I desided it's not worthed trying it, because I don't like vanilla in perfumes. Today I was in the mall and I saw it on the shelf and I thought to myself "OK, why not?". It turned out on me was a fresh, a bit sweet lime-pear scent. After a few hours it changed to a mix of musk, wood and hint of peony. I find it lovely and very wearable spring scent!

In the top this is very very fresh. It reminds me of Elizabeth Arden Green Tea meets Shalimar Souffle de Lumiere. Lots of citrus, some tea and a little bit of baked lemon goods. There's peony and musk in the mix. Those are the notes for me. Not too complex. Wonderful for summer if you like sweet and citrus. It's much fresher and less dark and sultry than the Shalimar flankers.

If anyone would like to swap for this, I have a 1.7oz bottle that is full. Sprayed twice. US only please. I bought this blind hoping that it would be like the original Brit. I do like it but I'm missing the vanilla almond dry down that the original has. That is my favorite part. This smells like a green tea with fresh squeezed lime in it. Not bad at all but not my favorite.
