Burberry Sport for Women

BEAUTIFUL!! As I've mentioned in other reviews...about 95% of my fragrances are blind buys. And I've gotta say, this is my favorite blind buy in several months. (I buy 2-6 fragrances a month). This scent is more easily "described" by adjectives and emotions as opposed to using actual "notes." This is one of the few fragrances where I cannot pick out individual notes and in this case, that's a good thing. It's best described as a sunny, happy, summer, "bright," type of perfume. Very properly named. This actually smells almost IDENTICAL to a fragrance by Gap called "Sunshine" which for some reason is not in this database. I ordered the 3.4 ounce bottle of "Sunshine" by Gap on Ebay about 2 months ago and I liked it but there was just something "missing" shall I put it. It was a definite like but something seemed to be missing and therefore keeping it from being a love in my collection. (Although the bright yellow packaging for that one matches the scent much better than this Burberry packaging.) Anyway, as I said, this smells almost identical but whatever was "missing" from Gap Sunshine...this one HAS! It smells like a more expensive, better quality version of Sunshine. This one smells somewhat citrusy, I can somewhat smell the ginger I think...Idk, as I said...not a case where specific notes jump out at you. They all just work in harmony to create the final product that is "Burberry Sport." And I am in love! I should also mention that I got 2 compliments on my 1st day wearing this. Smells amazing and oh! Did I mention that this is the very DEFINITION of unisex?! This smells amazing and sporty...but not "feminine." Its most definitely wearable by a man. Scent Itself - 9.5/10 Longevity - If light handed...you'll get moderate duration of 4 hours or so. If heavy handed...you can get 7 hours out of this one. Projection - Again. If light handed...moderate projection at arm's length. If heavy handed...you can extend that to 5 or 6 feet projection. I'm on the heavy handed side. =) Overall Score - 9.5/10 I LOVE THIS! SAFE BLIND-BUY FOR SURE! NOW ONTO BURBERRY SPORT FOR MEN....BURBERRY HAS GAINED MY CONFIDENCE WITH THIS ONE! 2 THUMBS UP!

I used up my sample then missed it. I think this one is a unique gem, so I got a small bottle... Burberry Sport is a happy, sunny fragrance. This one is a good example of a textured scent that goes beyond what nature has given and presents a new experience! My impression is of a cool, almost powder-sand, sweet orange-honeysuckle. The flowers mix with this powdered orange to produce a really nice uplifting and energetic scent. Would be a good spa scent. The florals are very apparent but to me, not realistic, almost like a fun cartoon impression that supports the queen powdered-sand citrus. Maybe it’s the solar notes? Smooth, clean, and honestly is VERY close match to a wonderful creamy Olay shea moisture body wash that I need to track down again because it was my favorite! What a great layering combo that would be.... As for sillage and longevity, I had someone compliment this scent about 4 hours later so even though I thought it was gone the air was lifting it around me! Big yes to this and glad I snagged a bottle since they are getting harder to find. I’m reaching for this in the early spring and summer.

As much as I like this perfume, the bottle is a ridiculous, clunky monstrocity! Why isn't is sleek and aerodynamic, like anything of a sporty nature ought to be? Had to get that off my chest. On with the review. I typically do not like citrus or aquatic scents. This isn't really either of those, but it is definitely clean. The salt note seems to trick the brain into thinking the perfume is fresh and juicy. It's akin to the fact that tasting salt would activate the salivary glands. I think it's extremely clever. I think a man could wear this because it's a rather androgynous, "sporty," scent. The musk is not overbearing in any way. I hesitate to call this a floral because it's so heavy on petit grain and mandarine. I can smell a touch of honeysuckle, but I don't detect any magnolia on my skin. Strangely, this comes as an EDT yet sillage is better than most Burberry EDPs.

What does this smell like to me? Dove foaming body wash- and I adore that smell! Take the sweet aspects of orange, none of the sour, and mix in smooth honeysuckle, then make it airy. Soft, soapy, sheer/clean flowery citrus clean feel, nicely blended, and has the nicest smoothing billowy feel to it. Unique and hard to describe. I didn't feel the salt screaming at me like I expected. The next stage is sweet, citrusy floral whisper- wish the first hour of this extended out, but it becomes a very soft and lovely skin scent after that, fading out at around 4 hours. For a Burberry, it didn't last as long as I expected, but very lovely, clean soft- soapy citrus perfume. Possibly unisex I would think, for people who enjoy Dove shower foam and would like to extend that scent into their day. I can see this being a fantastic, clean, inoffensive perfume for the workplace.

Lovely fragrance, I have an original 2010 bottle courtesy of my mother who didn't wear a lot of perfume and gave it to me. Smells like thin cotton scarves and has a very 'fresh morning air' kind of smell on my skin, or maybe the smell of the sky just before it begins to snow for the first time when very fresh. Projection really fades in the dry down though, it's still definitely there but much weaker after about 30 minutes on the skin, although on a direct sniff it's still very present. Mine also has a bit of a weak tobacco scent after a few hours but I think that might be either my skin or the fact it was my mother's and I associate her with the smell of tobacco. A really delightful scent, I'd say best suited for late summer into autumn or a late summer afternoon.
