Up front in smells like oud... the sawdusty variation of oud (which I personally like). After 15 minutes the synthetic aspect of it is more apparent but it's still pleasant. I'm quite happy...

I don't like this one. There is a bottle of this stuff in my cologne cabinet for something, like, 12 or 14 years. It comes on too strong. It's supposed to be leathery but it's spicy blast of...

I'm considering buying one of those two because I'm looking for a casual scent that's close to the skin and that can be worn out on a date.
Which scent do you prefer and why?

both of those seem ideal for what you want, although Brit for me is the superior fragrance. Chic is fresher with it's watery fruit notes, Brit has a vaguely soapy edge and a warm, soft powder feel. I'd say that chic is perhaps slightly more of an 'office' scent, whereas i think Brit would be great in a more romantic setting.

If you still have time -and the chance of course- give a try to Baldessarini Strictly Private. In my opinion it's a way better Brit.

Burberry Brit apperas to be, at least on my skin, longer lasting, more formal and slightly heave, darker (three cardinal virtues, which make me choose a scent and stick to my choice).
