Burberry Brit Sheer
Burberry (2007)

The refreshing and tangy scent of grapefruit sets the stage, establishing a fresh and delightful ambiance. After a few seconds, the sweet aroma of lychee emerges, transforming this grapefruit into a sweet and charming princess. The lychee's flavor is vividly recreated, as if tasting the first lychee of the summer, placing it on the lips, and biting into it, causing juicy splashes and a delightful sensation that permeates the entire body. This first lychee embodies the feeling of first love, where every innocent and simple sweetness is truly heartwarming.

Moving into the middle notes, the introduction of floral fragrances adds a hint of powdery texture, blending the gentle floral aroma with the lychee fruit, transforming it into a pink-themed fragrance. It exudes the scent of a 20-year-old girl, pure, sweet, and lovely, without any vulgarity or complex animalic undertones. This innocent and tender scent always evokes thoughts of a young girl.

Perfume is a personal experience, and it is recommended to try a sample from branddecant before purchasing the full-sized bottle.

I used to enjoy this and thought I wanted a full bottle but I've come to the conclusion that it's not necessary and the scent isn't that great overall. I love the initial blast of citrus and lychee when it's first sprayed. It's a zingy sweet smell that cheers me right up. Then I forget about the scent for a little while (about 30 minutes to and hour) and all of a sudden there's this cheap pencil shavings note that comes through. It must be pink pepper or some cheap cedar note because it makes the entire thing smell very synthetic and cheap like a calgon body mist I used to own. If it weren't for that note I'd probably buy this and wear it quite often in the heat. I can't get over that pencil shaving note it's not something I care for so therefore this scent is not for me.

Longevity and sillage aren't very good either very close to skin projection and 3 hours tops. I don't know if my sample is from the reformulation or not but I won't be looking for any more to find out.

The lemony-yuzu opening blast is pleasantly combined with lychee and a fruity pinapple-orangey undertone - this it the best part of this creation. The generic fruity-white floral drydown as well as the - yawn - overly generic woodsy musky base are very middle-of-the-road.

On my skin the sillage is moderate, projection adequate and I get six hours of longevity.

Overall a nice opening with a rather mediocre rest - 2.5/5.

This fragrance opens with soft fruity notes like a delicious gift basket on a dewy spring morning, later settling into gentle floral tones that is as fresh as the air after an afternoon thundershower.

The bottle is simply gorgeous...I've always had a soft spot for frosted/mat finishes, and the soft pink color is a perfect compliment to this lovely creation by Burberry.

I love this! I think this smells fantastic. It's fresh, clean, and fruity. There's definitely citrus in there early on and the scent just reminds of bright sunny mornings in late spring or early summer, a crisp blue sky and a walk in a wooded park. The problem with it is the longevity. I can put it on and the moment it dries on my skin, the scent is pretty much gone so you'll never have to worry about offending someone because it's impossible to put on too much of it. I wish it lasted longer. I wear it when I go to sleep since it's so light!

This perfume is quite simple, but lovely. When I first smelled it, it just smelled quite plain and airy, and I wasn't so convinced to get it. However, after a little while, the freshness of the fruits really came through. It's perfect for warm days in spring and summer like today because it's so light and pleasant, so it's great if you don't really feel like wearing perfume so much in humid climates. Settles to a light, sweet musk that's just beautiful.
