This is one of the best fragrances I've ever had the pleasure of owning. It's so unique and fresh, not exactly feminine but still sophisticated and sexy. There is a hint of vanilla to it, but for me it's more of a spicy lime scent with a hint of pear and vanilla in the background.
Rather than the scents competing for attention, they manage to compliment each other perfectly and blend into a beautiful, warm combination of scents that is simply a delight to your senses! The bottle is classy and cute, and it matches the scent perfectly.
My sister came over yesterday and gave it a try and she fell in love with it as well. Though I can admit that this fragrance wouldn't be for everyone, I believe that on the right body chemistry this perfume is classy, sexy, and simply elegant. My collection wouldn't be complete without it.

The smell of the English countryside during autumn. Beautiful scent with a very good atmosphere. Pear, almond, vanilla, spicies. Perfect combination... I prefer the edt to the edp.

If pepper could be made of vanilla, orange blossom and essence of lime, that would be this fragrance. Or at least it would be the top note of this refreshing yet warm scent.
Lets start at the very beginning: It has a kick. Peppery and green with lime and vanilla notes that warms up your olfactory system.
Next it cools down, and is a little less spunky, mellowing to a fantastic and Orange Julius like hazy. It reminds me of being a young child and yet I could imagine women of all ages wearing this and feeling young again.
As it closes it's like flecks of sliver catching the light (or in this case the scent) during a sunset.
It's sweet, it's poetic... this scent is an excellent addition to any collection, even if you are someone like me who has a few variations on both the citrus/bergamot and vanilla fragrances.

I just love this perfume. I'm not usually a floral or vanilla-y perfume kind of girl but there's something about this that is just exactly the right balance; warm, sweet, comforting and fresh.
05/02/09 20:11:13
i ve always thought that this scent must be refreshing from the description but i was wrong.i didn t think i will like it but i do,in fact very much that it will be my next purchase.it begins indeed like a man s cologne,i m not thrilled about the opening but when it dries down is magnificant,i love the mix between pear and vanilla.from all burberry fragrances my favourite is brit red,but this one isn t bad at all.i must admitt that burberry fragrances are fun!!i love them!
04/24/09 14:29:52
Very sweet, warm and long-lasting! I like it very much.

Finally, I tried this fragrance. The top notes I think were very common on me- lime mainly with some pear. And makes it perfect fragrance for summer I didn't immediately fell in love with this one. However middle notes is the best part of this fragrance- it's fresh, citrusy, sweet vanilla- perfect blend, very good balanced- it's not over the top sweet, it's just right! I find this not very intensive fragrance, the sillage is medium, lasting power is great. Lime goes with the middle notes here too and it's quite nice lime, juicy and sour. I like this one, but I think I prefer the Brit Sheer called one, in pink bottle- it was so intensive that one day I tried it on paper strip it even gave me a headache. :D
Bottle is stylish and cool too, I love minimalistic and decorated like that ones- stripes, very reminds me of England, I can imagine wearing this fragrance in sometimes sultry summer day on the streets of some city in Yorkshire, past the various shops there and suddenly starts to rain... If you know how sultry sometimes it is you'll understand why Brit is citrusy.

► I wearing it this night (I have in Edt 50ml). I really fell in love. This smell is fresh, sweet and look natural style ! Someone had made a riddle: "A very good british perfume, created before 2004 with a natural look. What is it ?" And I have find it, I am really enjoy hihi !
Burberry Brit is a scent of lime and icy pear in top. Then come a fresh poeny (white I think...) and almond in middle notes. The base notes come the last vanilla notes come quickly. The end is a bit hypnotic poison but more softer and subtle, brit is better than it.
This scent is ideal for all seasons, I will to buy it for this summer. Burberry is a good brand ♥

Sandelwood is the first thing I smell with Brit. A lot of it. I kept trying to smell the pear and the almond but couldn't, and just when I started thinking I shouldn't have bought it before sampling it first the sandelwood subsided and Brit turned into the sweet, yet fresh scent I was hoping for. I still don't get any pear but I do get the almonds and the vanilla now. Lovely. I bought this for a spring scent but I think it'll be great all year round.

I love that every Burberry fragrance I have tried manages to be unique yet classy at the same time. Burberry Brit certainly does not fail me in that opinion.
Brit is slightly sweet, yet nothing like the sweet celebrity scents on today's market. The sweetness of the pear and the lime is rather refreshing. Brit also exudes elegance and sophistication, making it a perfect scent for special occasions or evening wear.
I love that this fragrance, if sprayed on your clothes, leaves a divine warm vanilla scent which you can smell everytime you open your wardrobe.
While wearing this scent you are guaranteed to feel feminine, desirable and incredibly sexy. This is one very unique and lovable fragrance.

Burberry Brit is very spring/summer for me! I was expecting a wintry perfume. At first its spicy-sour-bitter-fresh-shocking LIME! No sweetness there. That cute little peony flower works wonders in minutes toning down that sharp lime! My favorite part is the dry down which happens pretty quickly. On me its like toasted almonds, sugary pears and creamy vanilla with just a tad bit of woodsy and tonka notes in the background.
The dry down is a lighter/flanker version to Jessica Simpson's Fancy but not as gourmand as Fancy because of the woodsy mahogany.

a very sweet long lasting perfume , the top notes are so obvious but yet after warming up youi'll get a very sexy feminine notes that make the scent so seductive
04/03/09 17:41:09
love the dry-down on this..very warm and sweet, like toasted almonds with a sugar coating..classy and appealing..but dont over do it or you wont get that effect..
03/24/09 09:05:28
this is on of the most sophisticated scents ever.I don't think nobody really hate it,as it has nothing overwhelming,but the almond lovers will admire it best.
it's my favorite brit version in compare to the gold,red and sheer fragrances.I really enjoy the juicy and delicious scent of pear.
totally to me it smells like a cake.very warm,delicious and fruity.since it's sweet,lime doesn't let it be too sweet.it's like a less complicated of lolita,lolita with more almond and without violet would smell something like this.
I think it's suitable for any age,from a teenager to an old fashioned lady.but it matches the house keepers the best.
I have a miniature of this fragrance and when I wear it,my mum always stop asking which perfume I'm wearing that day.
it's either very light or the long lasting power is not very good.after an hour I can hardly smell something.it still exist,but very very light.

My sister in law just loves Burberry, so I keep trying their scents. This is the first that I actually like. When I read the description of the notes, I ordered a mini. I just love pear and almond, so I was pretty sure I would like it.
And I love it! Light and sophisticated, and not your average fruity/floral. Actually, I would say it is more gourmand.
I think I will be looking for a large bottle now:) The more I wear this, the more I love it!

This is the first Burberry fragrance I have tried, and I was pleasantly surprised. I got it as a sample not expecting much. I tried it the other day, and REALLLY liked it. I found it very warm and comforting - kind of like one of their scarves.
03/16/09 18:43:33
I know it's gonna be a silly thing to say,but this fragrance reminds me so much of London!
03/14/09 15:52:33
i love this, it's my signature scent..it's light and crisp yet warm at the same time (vanilla and almond notes)...i also like that it's not "foody." the lime and pear keep the scent from being too deep and rich. it's not a complicated perfume--it just smells very light and pleasant, plus this is one of the few perfumes that my boyfriend loves!
03/08/09 17:48:23
quite sweet, but not in an intoxicating way... just sweet enough to be feminine, but light enough to be wearable in the office. it's perfect for all day use.
02/26/09 06:02:48
A timeless green oriental with an eccentric British attitude.
A sexy, eccentric scent. With touches of lime, icy pear and green almond. It also has hints of white peony, sugared almond, mahogany wood, amber, vanilla beans and tonka beans

After the initial notes wear off (the lime in particular), this smells nearly identical to Amber Romance by Victoria's Secret, which I wore for a short time. The fragrance is sophisticated and grown up, but still very sweet. Sugary, almond-y, with depth from amber and vanilla.
01/25/09 21:03:15
Today i got a sample of this and i was really suprised how lovely it is. You smell much of the peony and vanilla, very classic, creamy, feminine and therefore better for evening. But i also can imagine wearing this every time of the year and the EDT version lasts pretty long. If someone would ask me how 'perfume' should smell, i would say "Try Burberry Brit and you will know it". Cant stop smelling my wrist. :)
01/22/09 03:33:52
A co worker wears this & every time she walks past me I get a wiff of the pear/vanilla blend.It does smell very nice,not very deep but fresh & simple.It is a young warm & playful scent.
I might have to stay away from her because it is making me want to by this

I liked its opening notes, very bright and sweet at the same time. The middle note was a flat vanilla and nothing else.The almondy-tonka drydown was very simple too ,but I liked it. I love almond notes on my skin!
I don't know, maybe I would buy it just for the drydown, maybe I would not. If i had it as a present though, i would wear it very often.

Just got in as a Christmas-present and like it. It smells nice with the pear and vanilla. Though it's a little different from the ones I use to like. I think I will use it a lot.
12/27/08 07:57:06
A cozy spiced vanilla. Easy to wear, flexible and reasonably priced. It isn't a statement-maker, but sometimes you just want to smell good.
12/14/08 11:21:09
It starts with a very strong expressed lemon notes but after that a warm coat of sweetness wraps you and takes your mind to the cosy chair in front of the fireplace with a cup of milk with honey.
11/30/08 08:48:04
Love it. I get the lime first off, crisp & fresh. It mellows into a vanilla/pear scent without being foody. It has a classy elegant feel to it.
11/29/08 15:58:08
This perfume is for the woman that wants it all. It is classic and feminine but still modern. It is crisp and refreshing yet warm and inviting.
When Brit is first applied the fresh smelling lime stands out but then quickly dries down to a comforting almond/pear essence. The almond is lovely as it is used for warmth and does not overwhelm as it does in other perfumes.
The best thing about Brit it that it uses fruit and gourmand scents in such a refined way -- they add comfort and playfulness to this perfume rather than becoming overly sweet.

Brit are like baking pear with almond, with winter behind the windows.
We could see beauty of snow, we could feel frost on our cheeks but the taste of baking pear with almond fill us inside

Love this and I get a lot of Lime at first then it drys down so soft, warm and sexy. It like floating on clouds.. I can wear this one all year long and never tire of it. One friend said "that is your scent" .. Always love the Burberry's...
11/03/08 08:03:14
Such a dissappointment for me.. I found it just boring. Feels like you added lots of vanilla in a men's cologne..
I love sweet scents but this is not a lovely sweet it is just one of those boring sweets.. I find all other Burberry's scents beautiful but I just find it ordinary and in my opinion it is in the same cathegory with YSL Cinema and Dolce Vita from Dior, boring sweets..

I think this fragrance is full of contrasts! Just like a true english lady: cold on the surface but capable of great passions!
And so are the ingredients: frosted pear, cool lime combined with warm balmy tonka and amber!
Burberry Brit starts with a kick of fresh lime that does't linger to much but blends with the soft scent of peony, and then all the warm notes begin to develope, but on me the scent I percive is something I like to call frosted vanilla!

Beautiful and light fragrance which would suite office, shopping and every day use.
The opening is quite citrusy (lime) but at the dry down the fragrance develope into amber and vanilla.

Too much going on with this one. I do like it, but it just smells so busy and and the topnotes are really shrill. I think the lime kills it for me. Strangely enough, though, I do wear it occasionally. Go figure. Love all the Brit bottles, though!
10/25/08 15:48:35
I tried the edp a couple days ago and it smelled really sweet to me. At first I thought 'oh great' 'another sweet smelling generic perfume'. After a while I kept smelling this soft, powdery, comforting smell and realized it was me!! It lasted for a few hours but I only put a little bit on my wrist so I guess the staying power is ok considering is so soft and powdery smelling. Bottom line: I like it.
10/17/08 13:28:08
its so much like lacome hypnose, or hypnose is like this?:) but its a bit lighter and its more for everyday use, and less onesided, i like hypnose too tho.
10/15/08 11:13:56
Oh my! I LOVE Burberry London for women AND Burberry Brit! Brit is both cool and warm to me and better suited. Besides the scents, I crave a Burberry scarf though...maybe one day I will break down. Back to the scents, both are soothing vanilla scents and actually fit the Burberry lifestyle to me, I must admit it that I fall for ALL Burberry range and for me there are no perfumes has the similar scents like Burberry. I love the Tonka beans note. As for the Red one, well, for some reason, this one did not please my nose. On paper, it looks like it would, too. Just goes to show you can't judge a perfume by it's notes on paper!
09/29/08 20:13:59
I used it just yesterday, cause it was raining and 'cold' (and that was the perfect time to wear Brit) and I paid more attention and totally agree with the lime top note/bit masculine thing, which I haven't noticed before.
Anyway, the vanilla dominates.

It's super sweet - very strong vanilla smell - which i really like, but very classy, elegant. I like it a lot but I don't wear it very often cause I live in a HOT city and this works better in cold wheather.
08/29/08 13:44:24
LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT
My skin usually soaks up most mild smelling scents i.e. Oscar de la rente - Oscar, and I can no longer smell them on me so have to constantly keep spraying. But....this one....is perfect for me!

Warm and sweet (vanilla), but also a little bit masculine. At first I thought it was a unisex fragrance.
11/14/07 06:15:03
I didn't like it. To me it was almost bordering on masculine in fragrance and not at all feminine. It just didn't do anything for me.
09/27/07 09:51:11
Burberry perfumes are always runner ups with me. This one is less powerfull than the original / London Britt... More adequate for summer wear. Thumbs up!
09/20/07 16:12:18
My all time favourite perfume, it does not cause head ache though it is long lasting
