Burberry Brit New Year Edition Pour Homme Burberry for men

I'm totally in love with this frag. I can't stop smelling my arm. It smells so festive, really like a Christmas. It brings me christmas mood even in summer LOL

I got this fragrance the other day and was excited to try it out based on the notes I read about it. I have to say that I hate it when I first spray it on. It smells like pure windex. When it dries down, the bay leaf and cedar/incense start taking effect. It lasts a long time and even when I can't notice it on myself, people ask me if I am wearing Burberry after I've had it on for a few hours. It's grown on me more and more. I would wear this mostly in the fall and it's a good fresh wintery scent being related a lot to a festive christmasy scent, but honestly it can be worn in all seasons because it doesn't come together so heavily as deeper darker winter fragrances do.

I favor this one over Brit, the nutmeg and incense are more my style. Though still a touch softer than I wish, the spicier flavor holds a better projection. Still wouldn't mind either one.
I haven't been overly fair to Burberry, the first three of their scents I found were Beat, Sport and the original, first two of which were sour citrus, which I just detest. I fell in love with London, found Brit very soft and powdery, but nice, and Brit New year nicer with a spicier body. I can see their style as classicly modern with a laid-back or sub-professional persona, and I'm beginning to look for them.

I gave it to my brother as a present for his birthday. It was a love-at-first-inhale situation! I love stealing some from time to time for my own sniffing pleasures. It smells rather nice on female skin. Very clean nutmeg-cedar combination with a slightly creamy tonka background.

Upon seeing this accidentally in the store, I immediately seized, rushed to the cashier and opened it!! Seeing the ingredients in this website, had made me waiting for it impatiently.

This frag is a wonderful thing: One of the rare scents that I like its top notes as well. Though it is common with its predecessor, original Brit, in nutmeg, rose, cedarwood, tonka and tangerine, but the pine and incence have made something distinctive out of it, in a very great way. It is more fresh, green and drier than the original version.

The smell at first is a bit sour and wonderful. Then quickly it fades into a strong pine and green platform, while mixed with green spicy notes of pine. It resembles like when walking between a jungle of pines.

The dry down phase will keep the heart notes as well, just becomes sweeter and more woody.

While original Brit has 80% Vol., this one is 78%, as being indicated on the flacon, by the producer. But this concentration has upgraded nothing special in the longevity.

It really is a wonderful smell for Christmas time. The chill and a touch of snow would complete it.

Mr. Maisondieu has made this one, too?

Score: 9 of 10.


*** UPDATE: I wore it today in a snowy day. In the snow and chill, it makes a divine feeling that would fly your spirit. Now I see why it was released for Xmas. The pine miracle in this perfume, in collaboration with incense does really perform something wonderful. People too gave me comments at work, today.

Just one word… Amazing!!... I first discovered this scent when one of my colleagues whore it and I asked him what that great scent was. I usually do not choose perfumes by the way they smell on other men, so when I went to the store to buy some shaving accessories I went to the Burberry counter and asked to try it. First of all (and before I tried it), I noticed the look on the store’s girl face when she sprayed a testing paper. She smiled and she told me how much she loved it. When I sprayed it on me I also loved. I smelled my wrist all afternoon. It is definitely “night” cologne, very strong and spicy. The longevity is medium (4-5 hours max). But I could not believe how much women loved it. There are practically all over my neck when I wear it. Believe me, there has not been one, one female we hang around, that has not come close to me, smelled it and not asked me what it is. Basically for ages 25-40 I would say. Definitely a “buy” product!
