Brit (2003)
by Burberry

SILLaaaage.... it's like I taste it in my own mouth (only one spritz on the wrist). For an edt, cuz that's what I have.. dang, it lasts.

But! It's still nice. My roommate said it made her think of the Amber Romance from Victoria Secret that she used in middle school. Even so, it's nice.... Just. Nice. Like, "Oh, what a nice girl..." When maybe you mean "boring-ish" but you're too nice to say "boring" so you say "nice." I bought it on a whim without taking my time to smell it (silly me) when some retailers came on campus. I wish it were spicier, but it's still great to wear in cold weather. I guess the vanilla warms things up. I think my brain doesn't smell much besides the vanilla + "something else that my slightly fragrance-ignorant self can't truly recognize." I wear sometimes when I'm in a regular-lazy-loving the cold mood. I'd wear it more, but I live in LA. Plus, I'd have to taste it in my mouth, too.

Oh yeah, the bottle's nice. Don't cut yourself on that sharply cut glass cap!

My sister in law just loves Burberry, so I keep trying their scents. This is the first that I actually like. When I read the description of the notes, I ordered a mini. I just love pear and almond, so I was pretty sure I would like it.

And I love it! Light and sophisticated, and not your average fruity/floral. Actually, I would say it is more gourmand.

I think I will be looking for a large bottle now:) The more I wear this, the more I love it! It definitely gets comments from all the guys in my office.

Spicy and soft at the same time. Not very strong so it be almost powdery. It is not in my top 5 but I like it enough to own it. It's not one of those scents you just-have-to-have; It's more like the one you will always own as a good standby when you can't decide which of your top 5 you're in the mood for.

Bittersweet. The men's version is woody and powdery and a great compliment to the sweet tonka and florals. Nice.

I have tested the EdP of this fragrance and found it to be an intriguingly fruity but warm fragrance. The top notes are sharp and exciting, and lasted for at least 45 minutes on me, and I was surprised at how much I liked the citrus in it, as I am not generally into citrus perfumes. But the base notes are my favourite part. Brit is warm and amber on my skin, the vanilla delicious yet not foody. This perfume starts off young and perhaps ordinary, but ends with depth and warmth. I ended up buying a small bottle of the EdP, and plan to wear it often.

I kind of liked the powdery and soft scent when I fist got it. And I must say I wore it for quite a while. It was nice to have a more conservative perfume for everyday occasions.
Although I did get bored of it very easily. It is definitely missing the depth that gives it a interesting character.
And after reading the comment about the baby nappies, I admit I like it even less...
