Scent Synch Day - 10/15/08 - Burberry London

[IndianapolisVet]

Finally an excuse to use that mini I've been saving... I'm in!

[brainpower1972]

I have a bottle, so I'm in. A lot of people who will wear this for the first time on SDD, will get a pleasant surprise! It really is a very good and original scent and perfect for fall.

[ReGZ_93]

I'll probably be wearing it anyway, during these brisk eastern months (along with my Floris Santal). I'll definitely be in.

As an aside this is my first post here.

I'm in... I've never tried this yet- should be fun!

[Ron199]

Count me in.

[Maz24]

I... um... I... um. I sniffed the London at the Macy's? And the policeman man said to me "How much have you been drink?" And I said to him "London! Say, you got a smoke? 'Cause it's a pipe tobacco, too!" But he didn' b'lieve me, so now my 'torney's gonna buy me a bottle. Not, booze, silly! London! He says it proves I ain't drinkin'. I mean drunk.

:bounce: :wave:

Are you sure you weren't drinking when you posted this message? J/K :-)

[leor_77]

I'm in. Will be picking up a mini of this at a place nearby later today.

I'm in. :-)

[mikeperez23]

Got my sample of London today @ Sephora.

[leor_77]

Bought a mini of Burberry London, as well as Encre Noire for about 8 dollars each...I'm very happy with both of them.

Ok, guys, 15/10 is my birthday and I was going to be with my signature TdH but I will do the London stuff I will order it blindly, so you all go to hell if it's a shite

LOL ^^

Well, I couldn't resist the temptation and also this time I decided to be wiser (instead of throwing money for blind orders), so I went to the shopping mall and put few sprays on my wrist and neck. First impression - sour cherry (not listed as ingredient, maybe the wine?), pepper, tobacco, leather. It is in fact very interesting fragrance, individual, classy. I like it but it is still not my The One It is very similar to Sander for Men (because of the pepper) and Gucci Pour Homme II (because of the cherry) and lies somewhere between both, like a smooth transition from one to the other. I still promise to go the the mall on my birthday and use it again Unless anyone of you send it to me as a gift before that

My sample will probably be running low by then, but I'll try to save enough to wear for 2 weeks. I'm in, unless I space it out

I think this is funny. you are the first one i read here who said it smells like cherry. I also thought so and wondered that noone thought the same way. Like moncherie ^^

[dgenerator]

Hmm, very strange - I think Gucci Por Homme II also has cherry but that's not mentioned in the notes, which makes me thinks either there is indeed unlisted cherry or there is some combination of notes which causes few particular noses - like yours and mine - to detect cherry whereas it is in fact not there. Who knows... By the way, the smell of sour cherry I am describing is actually a very particular smell of a home-made sour cherry jam and juice which my mother used to prepare in the past. I haven't met this particular kind of smell in any commercially sold product very often. I think it is regular cherry (and not sour cherry) which is used commercially and it is kind of different. Maybe that's the reason why people don't recognize what's in London as cherry?

P.S. I have just checked in my bulgarian-english dictionary that what I am calling "sour-cherry" should be translated as morello-cherry in english.

If someone is willing to send a sample (or swap for one of mine) I'm in, feel free to PM me.

Nordstrom Rack has Burberry London for $34.99. Saw it there today.

[SirSlarty]

One more week. Woooo!

[yonggoh]

tell you what...since i dont got this... ill goto the mall and spray some on myself...

[joe mcclaine]

I have read some good things about Burberry scents but just can't take them seriously after the 'Chav' image that surrounds the clothing here in UK.

I had to burn a £*** shirt because I didn't want to be associated with the people wearing cheap copies.

My £*** Stone Island pullover has gone the same way.

SSD tomorrow!!! Grab your bottles/samples!
