My Burberry Eau de Toilette

Poetic Floral with Sweet Pea, Lemon-Blossom & Rose... This 2015 Floral scent, signed by perfumer Francis Kurkdjian, has a poetic & delicate quality to it, and strikes me as something that could've been worn by Blake Lively in The Age of Adaline (2015). Like the film there's a timeless quality that blends both contemporary and vintage elements. This beauty opens with a burst of sweet-pea & lemon-blossom with floral, fresh & faint citrus tones, that deepens into the heart with sweet, velvety & floral tones, all resting on a musky rose & oakmoss base. Initially I thought the base detracted from this, but I've come to appreciate it as what's special about this perfume, but it won't be for everyone. On the skin, the powdery rose-oakmoss blend hearkens back to traditional chypres but it's muted by soft florals & musk. In the air I get more of a shampoo quality that comes out over time. For an oversimplified comparison, you might call My Burberry EDT an updated J'Adore or J'Adore EDT, with the oakmoss giving it a little edginess. There's also a delicate feeling with this scent, like a fragility, or that it could break. Almost like you don't want to sweat too much or touch the spot you sprayed or it might ruin the scent. Has excellent performance for year-round wear, but I would be more likely to wear this spring-summer daytime. Contrast to My Burberry EDP Burberry: These are different, but the share the same DNA. The EDP version is sweeter, fruitier & greener, and has a little stronger performance, although both have slightly above average performance. Overall: Excellent performance, and delicate, complex floral scent profile with nods to vintage & contemporary perfumery. Enjoy!

Hats off to Francis Kurkdjian and the fine people at Burberry for another well composed fragrance. For fans of the EDP who are expecting the same from the EDT, you'd be mistaken if you thought these were similar. Let me get the negative out of the way first. Longevity and silage could be better, but it is EDT. This EDP is refreshing and clean. Floral, but not over done. I get more of the earthy moss and musk in this fragrance, than in the perfume. I like the fact that the patchouli was omitted and peony was added, brilliant, makes the scent softer. The ever present rose lingers confidently, but isn't the star in this one, as it is not in the EDP. I do however miss the strong, classy leather presence. I must say that and the staying power of the EDT, makes me prefer her sister EDP. That being said this is a lovely fragrance, probably more appropriate for casual occasions and everyday use. Pleasing, I like it very much.

For it being so floral, one (as in me lol) would expect a sweet floral scent much like all the rest. I received this in a swap and told her that I like Florabotanica by Balenciaga for springtime. When she said that she would be sending this, I wasn't disappointed enough to decline, but I wasn't sure I needed another typical floral scent *insert devil wears prada gif*. HOWEVER, this isn't a sweet scent. It's WEIRD and I LOVE it! It's not like going into a floral shop for valentine's day where all you can smell is sweet roses, but instead a conservatory, where the earth's most exotic flowers are. You are stepping into a heiress' garden, not her vase, but the garden, weeds and all. If you want to smell enticing, different, and earthy this is a scent worth having. If you want a sweet floral that everyone likes, I would honestly pass on this. This is earthy, natural, all the right smells of a garden NOT a bouquet.

cozy, comfy and sensual at the same time. one of my most favorite perfumes at the moment, and one of the best early autumn scents out there. i prefer this one to edp. edp (while nice and i still like it) is a bit too strong for me and a bit too long lasating. i am aware how this may sound attractive to many, but perfumes as such makes me tired. i like my scent to fragually fade away and giv me some rest :) this one, as you can see from the color of the bottle, is paler, weaker, but at the same time, more sensual version of the edp. i enjoy lemon blossom note in it, it gives some quirky sourness that i seem to like a lot. i do smell dried apples there, though i don't see it in the notes. as many other burberries, very suitable for autumn. quiet, shy and a bit sad scent. i love it. i recomend to try for all lovers of soft, tender and subtle scents.

I’m so impressed by this fresh floral! Something about this blend has my nose obsessed- gorgeous green notes! I guess I’m attracted to the moss/rose notes which create this beautiful green edge. Anyway, I get this vision of rain soaked flowers on vines overhanging an old brick wall with plenty of moss! I feel the aesthetic intended by the perfumer really stuck the landing for me. After a bit, maybe an hour, I feel like I smell like the shampoo of the gods, as the florals are so well blended here as to just give an overall impression of buoyancy and freshness, and greenery. I’m glad this EDT exists because I’ve tried nearly ever other My Burberry iteration, only liking them, except for this gentle beauty, which earned a “love.”
