Greetings, ladies and gentlemen! I hope everyone is having a wonderful day today. I was going to post this review yesterday, but my transformer popped and caught on fire. It was an eventful day, but things are back to normal and life is good.
I have another Burberry review for you today. If you have followed my blog for any length of time, then you will know that I am a fan of this house. This is one of their more popular ones and I was sent a full bottle of this to review from a new discounter site called Kingdom Fragrances. The owner, Steve is a police officer in Texas. Don't worry, he is one of the good ones. A really down to earth guy. I don't really have a relationship with him, so my review will be honest, as always. I feel bad that I even have to say that sort of stuff these days. Anyway, Steve's company just started, so their selection isn't the best...yet. He is steadily improving his stock though. His prices are a bit lower than Fragrancenet and you would be supporting a small business. Don't worry about him being a cop, I promise this isn't a sting operation to try to get you on buying stolen stuff because it's so cheap! It's a legit site and he's a legit guy.
I get nothing from you purchasing from his site. None of these are affiliate links. He simply sent me a bottle to review and asked me to mention his new store. I agreed to help him get the word out on it. That was the extent of our agreement. I never work with companies or people that I don't believe in and I am always fully transparent about it.
Also, Steve has a YouTube channel where he does some great and creative reviews. Check out Fragrance Fanatic here
Anyway, enough with the corny jokes, onto the fragrance. Let's get into it!
The Scent
Burberry Brit opens with a synthetic orange accord accented by ginger with very powdery rose. It smells a little bit like baby powder. It's very clean and powdery. From the start, this fragrance doesn't project very much. This is a skin scent through the majority of its life, only softly radiating around one foot off of the skin.
When the heart opens up, some of the spices are more apparent, including cardamom and nutmeg. The tonka then comes out with its powdery and slightly sweet nuances. The cedar is more on the woody side and just accents the masculine undertones of this clean fragrance. A touch of powdery musk is in this and mixes with the orange and gives a slight reminder of Burberry Touch for Men to me with its orange and musky opening. It doesn't smell like touch, but that accord in the dry down reminds me just a bit of it.
Basically, what you end up with is a very powdery fragrance with a bit of woodiness, spice, and a touch of sweetness. It's nothing groundbreaking. In fact, its pretty plan and safe.
This fragrance leans masculine to me, despite being very powdery. A woman could wear this, but it comes off as more gentlemanly clean to me. This fragrance can be worn all year, but it's probably best for cooler weather. I think it might project more when it's cooler out and the notes will come alive more.
Burberry Brit doesn't project very much, as I stated before, so it would make a great scent to wear to work, since it won't bother people by being loud. It lasts as a skin scent for around 6-7 hours. It's probably best to wear this with at least a collared shirt, but you could get away with it in a more casual setting too.
My Opinion
Burberry Brit is a gentleman's fragrance. Burberry showed their English roots with this one and executed a likable, but unremarkable fragrance for modern men who just want to smell good. You aren't going to wow anyone with this, but I don't see anyone complaining about this smell either. Overall, for the price, it's a solid release for its price and I am happy to have it in my collection for times when I don't want to smell like I bathed in a fragrance. Everything has its place and this one fits a category that most fragheads ignore, which is the times when you need a soft and inviting scent.
Conclusion
I hope you enjoyed this review. Thank you for stopping by once again. Remember to go check out Kingdom Fragrances where you can pick this one up and see his other products. I don't think you will be disappointed. Burberry Brit is almost a dollar cheaper on his site over Fragrancenet.
Remember that a kind word is free. use it freely. You can make someone's day without knowing it. You never know what someone is going through. Be blessed, everyone.
