Brit for Men (2004)
by Burberry

I love this scent!! I don't get baby powder from this scent although it does remind me of a scented lotion for babies called Baby Magic. To be honest I always thought there should be a cologne that smelled like baby magic since it smelled so good. I was jealous of my 5 month old for smelling this good. Not really, but I have always like it. Anyway, Brit (men) to me is a manly scent that seems well blended and smells great.

Bought it blind, sprayed it on paper and was a bit dissapointed. I didn't give it a chance on my skin. Felt too powdery for me.

A powdery decent woody fragrance that starts off directly with a blast of sweet fruity spiciness (ginger, bergamot & nutmeg) and almost instantly the rose(wood) come along together with cedar and tonka-bean. On my skin it remained softly/sweet/woody/powdery for the next 5-6 hrs. Not bad at all.
For a few moments I clearly smelled a Davidoff Zino softer clone, without the macho allure and 80's style of the last.
I love Zino, it's one of my signature scents and Burberry Brit it's just a young, fresher shadow of it, so normally I shouldn't feel drawn to, but there is something "je ne sais quoi" with Brit that keeps me wanting more..."you want to feel young, free and careless again, isn't it?" should someone to whisper...
Anyway, a "will buy at a good deal" fragrance for me and a deserving rank of 8.5/10 for this young style smelling bottle.

Burberry Brit for Men by Burberry - Upon application, one is greeted with a spirited, spicy citrus, furnished by the green mandarin, bergamot, ginger and cardamom. This zesty confluence meanders to its middle, where a spicy wood, from its cedarwood and nutmeg, joins in creating a pleasant, vanillish aura. This melange is slowly infiltrated by the lovely, wild roses, adding a powdery dimension to the heart. As the citrus dies away and the heart's spicy sweetness prevails, it joins the strengthening base, with its grey musk, tonka bean and oriental woods, to enhance the powdery vanilla superimposed on a woody, musky background. This pleasing and complex composition renders a clean and fresh vibe, and has good projection and longevity.

Love this fragrance, it doesn't strike me as feminine at all. I get a nice citrus and ginger opening and then a more sweet vanilla floral base. Overall a great fragrance, longevity is about 8-9 hours on my skin.

This fragrance is very polarizing because the people that enjoy masculine 80's powerhouses will hate this most likely. In all honesty, this fragrance is very well done. I get a lot of ginger and green mandarin in the top notes and powdery woods in the dry down with this fragrance. To be honest when I first tried this fragrance I hated it so I can understand how some people would not like this. However, coming back and trying it again I now like it. It is well put together but this is in the more modern vein of fragrances. Definitely more of a winter/fall fragrance to me as it can becoming cloying with too many sprays or in the heat.

Longevity is slightly above average to average. Sillage and Projection are pretty good. In short this is a good fragrance but NOT blind buy material.
