Brit for Women by Burberry
What Does Brit for Women Smell Like
Upon first inhale, Brit for Women by Burberry engages the senses with a bright splash of Italian lime and fresh, juicy pear. These top notes combine to create an initial fragrance that is both sweet and tart, like a ripe fruit plucked straight off the tree. A hint of green almond lends a touch of nuttiness that grounds these brighter notes.
As the fragrance evolves, the heart notes of dragée and white peony begin to emerge. The sugary sweetness of the dragée blends beautifully with the subtle floral note of the white peony, creating a powdery softness that cradles the initial burst of fruit.
As the perfume settles, the base notes take center stage. The warm scent of vanilla wraps around the other notes, its rich sweetness bringing a sense of depth and complexity. The undertone of amber adds a touch of earthiness, preventing the sweetness from becoming too overpowering, while the final note of mahogany brings a woody warmth, grounding the perfume and giving it a lasting impression of comfort and tranquility. The scent overall is a harmonious blend of sweet, fruity, floral, and gourmand notes, creating a fragrance that is both comforting and luxurious.
Review of Brit for Women
Burberry's Brit for Women is a dynamically crafted fragrance that, since its launch in 2004, has been a popular choice among women who prefer a more nuanced scent. This perfume subtly dances on the line of femininity with its clever blend of sweet, floral, and powdery notes.
The most striking aspect of Brit for Women is its complexity. It starts with a lively splash of Italian lime and pear, but as it settles, the sweetness of the dragée and the freshness of the white peony emerge. This blend creates a pleasant balance between the sweet fruity beginnings and the creamy, woody undertones. Vanilla and amber are the stars in the base, lending a comforting warmth to the overall aroma, which is perfect for the chillier fall and winter days.
Though it leans towards a more mature audience, this Eau de Toilette is not limited by age. Its charismatic scent profile lends itself well to everyday wear, making it a versatile option for both the office and leisure outings. It's not overly powerful, but has a quiet presence that lingers, creating a sense of intrigue.
However, despite its charm, Brit for Women isn't without its flaws. Its longevity could be better, as it tends to fade more quickly than one might hope. The sillage is also modest, so don't expect it to fill a room.
In conclusion, Burberry's Brit for Women is a well-rounded perfume that offers a mix of sweet, floral, and creamy notes. It's versatile, interesting and while it could improve on longevity, it remains a delightful choice for those looking for a subtly dynamic fragrance.
