Burberry Sport for Women
Burberry (2010)

A friendly mandarin note greets me in the opening - bright and positive, with a marine undertone faintly present in the background. It is not a refreshing citrus, more uplifting in a restrained manner. Agreeable.

The drydown adds floral characteristics, with some magnolia and muguet being the most identifiable ingredients. The base adds a blanket of white musks that fades out slowly towards the end.

I get moderate sillage, good projection and eight hours of longevity on my skin.

A pleasant summer scent, whose main drawback is its being rather generic and, whilst having good moments, being a bit too bland at times. 2.75/5.

Need to try it again to get the full affect. But i seem to recall the scent of roses and powder.....I liked it. I like woods and cedar, so if thats in there then i will probably like that to because it wafts and enriches the scent to me.

I actually don't like this, at all. Burberry is my favourite fragrance house, however with this new release I am rather underwhelmed.

It smells synthetic to my nose, a little rubbery like the bottle it comes in. True that it smells like D&G Light Blue, which I don't care for, however, (I can't believe I'm saying this), I'd choose Light Blue over Burberry Sport.

Salty plastic is all I can smell in the opening. The mandarin orange barely features in my opinion.

The scent tends to become more aquatic as it develops into the heart. The honeysuckle and Carribean magnolia aren't as floral as I had expected. They seem to be un-naturally sweet.

Musk overwhelms me into the drydown. There's too much of it for my personal tastes. Burberry Sport ended on a headache for me unfortunately.

The lasting power is incredibly good, as most Burberry scents are. I am extremely disappointed however that I have come across a Burberry fragrance that I don't enjoy, which was something I thought was never possible until today.
