   |  Very surprised to find how much that I was repulsed by this - I am generally very fond of of spicy, foodie smells and couldn't wait to try this. The descriptions of the notes elsewhere seem accurate enough, it's just that somehow it all adds up to a mixture that is, to my nose, utterly nauseating. I want to love it the way the other reviewers love it because from their descriptions, this scent should be perfect and I feel I'm missing out hugely. Ah well, off to gift it to one of my relatives who may love it more than me.17 February 2009 |
   |  I like spicy cookies with prominent ginger, but this does not remind me of those kinds of cookies at all. It starts off similar to London for women by Paul Smith (dried fruit/black currant) but the drydown is more similar to Fire & Ice for women by Revlon (coconut and slight cherry). It's a bit sweeter and more powdery than London, almost syrupy. Good if not excellent longevity and sillage. It gets a bit linear after an hour or so. It's well done though I won't get a full bottle because I have bottles of both London and Fire & Ice. I think London might be the more complex and dynamic of the three.13 December 2008 |
 | Brit Red is delicious, almost edible. If you dislike foody scents, stay far away from this one, but if you do, this is a must try. Definitely not a subtle, everyday scent. I usually don't like to limit fragrances to seasons, but I think Red is best reserved for cooler weather. The gingerbread note makes it a perfect scent to wear during the holidays, much like the men's Burberry London. Both remind me of Christmas. ;-) 12 July 2008 |
   | I adore this one, I just bought it recently when I spotted it at the drugstore (and was pleased to find out it was also on sale AND came with a nice little duffel bag as a promotion-deal). It just seems to fit the holiday season perfectly - and the spicy gingerbread and sweeter rhubarb note just work nicely on me....I start getting visions of sugarplums dancing in my head :) Light enough for me to wear in daytime, but also enough uniqueness to it to wear at those more casual holiday parties & events. I hope this is a "Special Edition" that lasts for a long time...or else I will be stocking up on more bottles (or asking for someone to put them in my stocking!). 11 December 2007 |

|  I adored this fragrance but it gave me a rash! Ironically, my husband was with me when I bought it and had talked me into getting the largest size. Lesson: buy a small size or try out more than once from testers! I gave it to my sister and I am so jealous when she wears it. Ahh well....29 November 2007 |

| I actually love gourmands, but the rhubarb in this does nasty things on my skin. Like black currant, sometimes this note just doesn't agree with the others, and I found an unpleasant dirt-like note in this one. From the other reviews here, it's obvious I'm in the minority, but definitely try this one on your skin before buying the bottle. 26 May 2007 |
