Burberry Sport Ice

I was never a Burberry perfume fan. They somehow never worked for me, so I didn't even bother to try Burberry Sport. But since I was given Burberry Sport Ice, I just had to try it and it was such a nice surprise. I got a sharp, cleanser-like, floral with a strong, lovely, water note which later warms into a nice sandy note. A great summer fragrance, nothing too sexy or sweaty, but clean, cool, and really fun.

Can't really notice the ginger in it. Mainly aqua and floral note stands out, and the powdery musk with sand follow after 3-hour development. Not really my cup of tea but i have to say it's a nice scent itself.

Burberry Sport Ice is thankfully more palatable than Burberry Sport which was a synthetic disaster to my nose. The composition is mostly citrus with an icy twist, and combines delicate musky and sandy undertones to give it that little hint of originality. Yes, it does appear to be a cold, frosty scent, and although refreshing, I think it could also suit moderately cold weather, especially a rainy day. It's not a sillage monster, but it projects rather well for a subtle citrus-based fragrance. Many are mentioning the ginger note, and while it's present, it's not particularly prominent. Burberry Sport Ice falls either into the category of being a clean citrus fragrance or an aquatic. Floral isn't the right word to describe this perfume. I'll agree that it reminds me of a chilled glass of soda water, especially since I feel that this fragrance radiates a somewhat sparkling quality. It's feminine and inoffensive, which are two things that have drawn me into liking this fragrance. However I must add that I'm disappointed in Burberry for producing way too many forgettable flankers and not coming up with new fragrances like the classics, which were the reason why I came to love Burberry in the first place. For a Summer scent, Burberry Sport Ice is right up there as being a pleasant and wearable fragrance. I find this fragrance a little similar in both style and scent to Burberry Brit Sheer, so lovers of that perfume will most likely enjoy this.

I live by the sea & so enjoy the salty sea air & marine freshness on a cool, bright morning walk. I live in the countryside & love the way the ozone clings to my washing when I line dry it. What I don't like is when these beautiful, natural, cool, fresh scents are ruined by some cheap & overpowering fake citrus musk. Ice is the person in front of you who cleaned their shirt in budget lemon washing powder - the one that assaults your nose with its industrial strength fuzzy-musk & citrus scent. Of course, there are many people who love this pseudo-fresh musk scent (Lord knows I slip-stream enough washing powder folks as they mosey on down the street). But, for me Ice doesn't cut it. Mix the soft citrus bakery scents of some CKin2U types, mix with some ozionic 90's classics & then dump in a washing tub full of bright, white, fuzzy clean musk. You get the picture: nice, clean-without-the-green, soft citrus musk. Plain, crisp, white shirt....just not my style. 'Nuff said.

I tryed it on me and i can say, it's quite refreshing for summer. As a brit lover, i could buy it for this summer. The only thing i didn't like was the time that i could smell it on me..For a few hours, 2-3!
