Burberry Summer

I liked it from the first sniff, really got me euphoric. I appreciate the fact that it's a lot more than just your average beach juicy summer fragrance. It really makes me dream of warm weather and lazy summer days. On me it opens with sugary lemon and some peach even though it's not listed here, then flowers and apple(prominent freesia here) and then goes to a warm vanilla musk dry-down. The dry-down is soft and a bit powdery, close to the skin. The only downside is that it's not as long-lasting as the original Burberry. No need to overdo it though-it lingers on, just more subtly. By far this is the only perfume from my mother's collection that I happen to like. I loved it so much that she gave it to me once she's had ebough. In my opinion this edition stays closer to the original Burberry for women than the 2009 an 2010 eds. As someone else said it has some similarities with L'eau par Kenzo, but I love this from start to the end which I can't say about LPK. I just can't get enough of it and a new bottle is on the way tomorrow!

It's probably Burberry's own fault, but the notes listed here go nowhere towards communicating what a fantastic, herbally fruity floral this summer juice is. To my nose, the predominant fruits are blackberry and apple, complete with apple skin and blackberry leaves, made even more piquant with a touch of crushed fresh mint leaves. Sweet, but nowhere near as sweet as most fruity florals, there is a basil-like element that makes you feel so fresh on a summer's day. The current Burberry Summer, released in 2010, IS good, with mandarin and apricotty notes as the focus, instead of the blackberry and apple of 2007/8 (I think - not sure about the dark red-tipped bottle). This is a summer staple for me - *****

not apple, but sweet vanilla and fresh. lovely for summer time.

i loved the firt sniff and thought of a sunny day in early summer in south england, drinking lemonade, wearing striped shirts and jeans shorts... but then the apple became too dominant and now it just smells like an cheap apple shaped soap. it's such a pity. i really like the design of the bottle and the first notes.

Fresh, light scent ideal for summer - as it ́s name tells :) But don ́t expect a wonder.
