Okay, so I’ve been seeing “Burberry Brit” pop up everywhere lately, and I got curious. What’s the hype? I decided to grab a bottle and see – or rather, smell – for myself. Here’s how it went down:
First Impressions
First, I ordered a small bottle online. I didn’t want to commit to a huge one before I even knew if I’d like it. When it arrived, the packaging was pretty standard, nothing too fancy. The bottle itself? Classic Burberry – simple, rectangular, with that signature plaid pattern. So far, so good.
The Big Sniff Test
Now for the main event. I spritzed a bit on my wrist, gave it a second to settle, and then…the first whiff! My immediate thought? “Ooh, that’s…different.” It wasn’t what I expected, in a good way. I noticed a definite sweet and kinda powdery thing going on. Not like baby powder, but more like a…sophisticated, grown-up powder.
- Top Notes: Right away, it gives a mix of fresh and crisp notes. Like, green almond, pear, and a bit of lime. It’s kind of like a citrusy, fruity.
- Heart Notes: After about ten minutes, I could really begin to feel the almonds, sugary and sweet notes.
- Base Notes: After a while wearing it all day, it really settled into this warm, cozy vibe. I think that’s the vanilla and amber kicking in. It’s the kind of scent that makes you want to curl up with a good book.
Wearing it Out and About
I wore it for a full day to see how it lasted. And I gotta say, it stuck around! I could still smell it faintly on my wrist hours later. I even got a compliment from my friend – she said I smelled “really nice, but not overpowering.” Win!
Final Thoughts
So, what does Burberry Brit smell like? To me, it’s a sweet, powdery, and warm scent that’s both playful and sophisticated. It’s not too strong, but it definitely makes a statement. It’s the kind of perfume I’d wear for a casual day out or even a cozy night in. I think after this I definitely want to try more perfumes.
