Hello,
Great EDT around Rose, Tonka and Ginger. To me these three notes are prominent : Ginger and Rose dominate at first, then it's a mix of Rose, Tonka and Woods.
In comparison with the original Burberry Brit, this one is reinforced in fruity notes (ginger and orange). To me it's better than the original for any season.
Most reviewers agree it's long lasting and with a moderate sillage. I would mention that the sillage can be soft to relatively heavy depending on how much you apply. For an EDT, its longevity is really good.
If you are interested in an EDT with a strong note of Rose and yet some masculinity, you should try this one.
Nice powdery perfume. For tropical Countries, certainlly Brit 'Summer' is recomended for winter or fall, not summer!
The first time I used it, women asked me the name of the perfume. That was nice, means that sillage is OK. Longevity is very good. Top notes are fresher and very different from Brit traditional, but the base is the same. One hour after application, it is transformed into the older Brit: Nice baby powder, for those who like.
got a lot of compliments on this one
Finally got some original Brit so I think it is safe to do a review. If I had a choice between this and the original brit. I would choose summer. Brit doesn't last on my skin. The opening is similar with summer actually being stronger. It has a touch of citrus and a little less ginger but still heavy with the powdery smell. I love it but some people don't. I had someone ask if I just put on lotion when I was wearing it once. It is a one of a kind scent and if you like the brit I think you will be more happy with this one.
More watery smell added on previous Brit. Base notes smell like baby powder.
Smells like a baby's head after a bath. Soft baby powder.
Overall I'm impressed with this new scent from burberry. By no means was i a fan of the original Brit but this one is much better on my skin. For a comparison this juice reminds me a little of the creaminess you find in the dry down of the burberry london for men. The scent starts fresh just as you would expect for any other summer type fragrance but after the initial spray the scent gets very warm and inviting. Typically when i smell summer fragrances they are very light and livey and want to make you energetic but this is dfferent. There is a very calming and almost dessert like quality to this. Almost similar to the cream of a key lime pie if that makes any sense. By drawing these together it seems that the summer edition is close to a chanel edition blanche, now i personally havent smelled blanche but from what i have been hearing it is very similar to the burberry summer edition just that blanche is more fruity with lemon instead of the lime in the summer edition. Overall this fragrance is a definite try for the curious buyer, it is only offered in 100ml so I would not recommend buying this but try it on your skin because the dry down and base is what really makes this scent very pleasing. Even a good buy for you young guys going to prom or anyone going to a summer wedding
Bought it from my local Macys when I was looking for a new summer/spring cologne. I tried out several others but this was the first one I sprayed on a tester card and kept coming back to it.
It does have a citrus smell to it at first, but not overly fruity. As it drys down, it smells slightly woody yet also has a tinge of the lime and ginger from before. It makes me sort of think of walking through a forest right after a rain and the sun is coming out.
I'm going to have to wear this more, but when I think of the best days to wear it, it would be on say an overcast or rainy day during the spring or summer. It's a gentlemens scent in my opinion, one you could easily wear to a business casual office or semi-formal event, but just as well wear it on the weekends.
So far for longevity I think I've gotten about 4-6 hours with it, with the top notes lasting for almost an hour.
Projection is average, and the sprayer on this is wonderful, one shot to the center of the neck about 10 inches away covers my whole neck.
If your looking for a summer scent that isnt an aquatic or have a floral hint to it, I highly suggest you smell this out.
8/10 of so far.
the breakdown looks awesome. can't wait to give it a try!
