Nonchalant Burberry Brit for Men is a perfect illustration of modern English spirit inwrought with tradition. Young English actor Hugh Dancy sitting in front of a fabulous old-timer embodies to perfection the laid-back, elegant spirit and philosophy of this new scent for men; demureness and irony, a classic turned into casual fragrance. Citrusy freshness of mandarin and bergamot and cool, spicy notes of ginger and cardamom preceed a masculine heart of cedar and nutmeg with a touch of refined wild rose. The base is sensual due to precious egzotic woods, gray amber, Tonka bean and patchouli. It was created by Antoine Maisondieu in 2004.

I love this scent. At first I get a sweet soapy woody powdery ginger bread. Its not a over powering or chemical smell. Very pleasant and long lasting at least 6 to 8 hours.

Great smelling! Bought it blind at Marshalls and waited about a month to try it, and boy did I wait too long! Very subtle scent, the ginger note sticks out most to me. Put it on at 4:00 PM and could still smell it heading into the shower 9:00 the next morning. VERY LONG LASTING, great buy, highly recommended!

I bought this for my nephew ..unsiffed. And I found myself in love with this (for me) It's peppery ... yet slightly feminine creamy ... smooth.. bright but soft. Absolutely love it.. I found it hard to give up, I almost kept it for myself. Wish I did. lol

Wonderful.. for men or women

I love the opening spicy/citrus notes and I welcome the rose that develops soon after but after an hour it gets too powdery for me which remains pretty much floral/powdery throughout it's longevity. It's not a bad fragrance per se but it just doesn't suit my personality.

Try before buy and allow the scent to develop on your skin before purchase. I was hoping the scent would grow on me but it didn't and I gave it to my girlfriend who likes it very much

One of the two greatest Burberry men's right there with London. Masterly blended powdery, woody cologne. The ginger stays there right till the endnotes. Opening is a bit harsh and unnatural but after 30 mins it settles to a very sensual, kindly masculine smell.

Brit is a bit confusing as none of the notes dominates the others. This makes Brit a highly versatile cologne. I rate it as a four seasons cologne.

Thanks to rose note Brit is also a bit floral but it cannot be classified as floral. It is mainly woody with just the right amount of sweetness. I agree that it is somewhat in the unisex territory. I also think it is a love or hate cologne. The cologne is not very natural smelling but it does not disturb much. If you like powdery masculines then try this. This is one of the best. Sillage is above average. Longevity very good. One of my all time favourites. Perfect for the young gentleman. 9/10

este y london son mis favoritas, aunque london me dure y proyecte mas, este es un olor dulce y delicado, pero muy atrayente, quisa le falta longevidad y proyectar mas, si este fuera tan fuerte como es london seria mi fragancia favorita entre todas las que e tenido.

I actually don't get feminine from this. I get a lot of spices and a little bit of powdery florals, but not in a feminine way; in a soft way.
What I mean by this is that this smells like it would be the nicest, kindest man in the world, but in no way feminine; I could only picture a man wearing this.

This has got to be the most appealing fragrance I have ever smelled, and I get more compliments from the ladies on THIS than I do with La Nuit De L'homme (which I thought was impossible hahah).

It also smells very natural, outdoorsy, artistic, and laid-back. I get 10+ hours of longevity every time with the projection maintaining throughout that duration.

I wear this year-round with no problem at all, and it is a great scent to have people remember you by since it is very unique as well. It lasts for days on end on clothes so it is a good one to spray on a t-shirt and give to someone so they can keep smelling it and be reminded of you ;)

It's my favorite fragrance of all time and I have no complaints. It is a good one to get people to subconsciously like you more. Go buy it

For some reason, fragrances with strong cedar notes that were made within the last 10 years (approximately) are unpleasant to me. I like Listen for Men, which is older but features a strong cedar note, for example (I think it was also marketed as the Sharper Image's men's fragrance). I like the idea of Brit for Men but there's something in it that is really unpleasant to me, and it comes across as "synthetic" and irritating. On the other hand, Rose d'Homme is great. The major difference seems to be that cedar note! Anyway, this is a powdery/woody rose for men. If you like that idea, and that cedar note, one would assume you will like this one.

This is a fragrance! Goes with everything. Can be for any age group. I dont smell the rose in it but I sence the baby powder but with more of an oriental woody and gourmand mix. Love all fragrances with Tonka Bean. It makes things warm and sweet and masculine. The ultimate when mixed with woods.

A powdery decent woody fragrance that starts off directly with a blast of sweet fruity spiciness (ginger, bergamot & nutmeg) and almost instantly the rose(wood) come along together with cedar and tonka-bean. On my skin it remained softly/sweet/woody/powdery for the next 5-6 hrs. Not bad at all.
For a few moments I clearly smelled a Davidoff Zino softer clone, without the macho allure and 80's style of the last.
I love Zino, it's one of my signature scents and Burberry Brit it's just a young, fresher shadow of it, so normally I shouldn't feel drawn to, but there is something "je ne sais quoi" with Brit that keeps me wanting more..."you want to feel young, free and careless again, isn't it?" should someone to whisper...
Anyway, a "will buy at a good deal" fragrance for me and a deserving rank of 8.5/10 for this young style smelling bottle.

Very weak for a Burberry when it comes to sillage and lasting power. Very understated and I think good for those who do not really like perfumes. It is clean and soft, delicately woody in the drydown only but absolutely nothing spectacular to spend money on.
It can work as a unisex easily, but there are so many better ones out there.
Do not buy it blind. I guess it is the first time that the women's version of the perfume duo is better than the men's one in my view.

I remember I was a junior in high school in 2005 and was asked by a senior to prom. I accepted and decided to do a bit of shopping for the occasion so I ended up at the fragrance counter at Macy's. After trying virtually everything Macy's could offer, I tried this last and immediately knew to purchase it! If I had a dime for all the compliments I received that night, and on top of that, my date could not keep her hands off me! It was awesome! It's safe to say I got lucky that night ;)

Anyhow, It smells very similar to Armani code, and it should considering it was made by the same perfumer, however, Brit possesses something more. It's deeper, richer, and not as fresh as Armani Code. It opens up very green. The top notes are woodsy and piney with a slightly bitter citrus but the scent itself does a full 360 in the heart and base as it becomes a warm, powdery, sweet & spicy, floral. I even detect some cocoa as well but the tonka bean, nutmeg, wild rose, and woody notes really are the main theme in this fragrance and over a light musk. It almost smells like a more refined scent of baby wipes because of the powdery quality except Brit is not as clean. It's just a well done spicy/oriental perfect for any occasion and better suited for the colder months. The only flaw this probably has is that it's very common anywhere you go. Other than that, you have a winner! It works beautifully on my skin and I must be lucky because it projects well and lasts 6-8 hours on me. I truly adore Brit along with its very cool and stylish plaid bottle!

Burberry Brit.

This is one classy cologne. Soft. Elegant. Understated. Those are the words that come to mind when I wear this.

It smells a lot like baby powder. There is also some light florals, spices, and woods in the backround. This scent is very clean.

It's a very good scent for the fall. Somebody over 18 could pull this off as an every day fall and winter cologne. For highschoolers, this could be worn as an every day cologne, but it works best on formal occasions.

Projection and longevity are pretty good. Nothing special though.

I used Brit for several months until I broke my bottle.
Brit consists of a refined citrus top with a powdery base with hints of wood.

I read through the reviews and a few of the things I agree with are:

"A refined, sophisticated aroma for men, is an amazing blend of greens, hints of nutmeg and tonka bean." -Perfumaniac

"It reminds me of fresh newsprint." -promoscanner

"sweet and powdery" -several people say this and I fully agree, the sweetness is very manageable though.

Very memorable and manages to be classy without smelling anything like "old man cologne". Unique enough to be mistaken as a pleasant and natural smell by the uninitiated if you hide the bottle. Very versatile, good longevity and projection. Whereas it could work as a unisex perfume I think it would be slightly better on men. This is a great scent IMHO and the only downside is that some people might find it too powdery. I accidentally broke my bottle of this but I would still be wearing it otherwise.

A walk into a flowershop in an autumnal early morning!
Once a time it was among my best but today I can't wear this romantic youth elixir.
I can't call it's citric even the opening isn't obviously citric. Starts with something like bitter orange skin and cardamom and the a sweet floral mainstream. Radiantly clean and tidy. Something similar shines in it and I can't remember, something soapy that freshens the nostrils and make you sneeze.

This one here is my signature scent. It goes with everything from business to casual to drinks at the bar you can't go wrong with it and its good for all seasons except maybe the hottest days of the summer. It is the scent you can rely on when eveything else falls short. A must for for todays mondern man.

Burberry Brit for Men is a fragrance on the classic oriental tendency, the opening is sweet blend of citrus and ginger in the middle of the rose (even though peeps now), among others, the fund carries exotic woods, patchouli (just mentioned) and tonka bean.
It is a warm scent, but at the same time lightweight, has something women: the rose could be that at times recalls the agreement Tresor de Lancome.
Brit is a perfume whose evolution seems to slow, but for this you have the opportunity to appreciate it fully, gives the feeling of happiness and joy, will be reminiscent of ginger cookies party.
Summary: sweet, evocative, romantic and surprising.

Ok Burberry Brit for men, i got this 2 days ago i blind bought it cuz i collect colognes and it doesnt matter if it doesnt smell good to me i can just return it. but i was really happy with this cologne.

Im going to spray one on paper and on my wrist... as soon as i open the lid you instently smell the powdery almost smell and the rose toghether. very nice, im going to go back and fourth between wrist and paper

ok first the wrist-i get a lot of powder and some rose mixed together its almost a pretty manly scent buti like it. its still very manly, after a bit though the rose is more destinct and the powdery like smell dies down a little bit... its starting to get a little bit fruity/citrusy with some rose and a tiny tiny bit of spice but the rose and powder are still the most destinct, i start to get some woody notes i can tell its drying down


now paper- on Paper i get more of the rose then the powder but after a bit the powder and rose are about even, on paper the scent wont change for a very long time so im done with paper ;p ill keep doing the wrist review .


thats all im doing for now, maybe ill do the dry down part tommorow. but so far

while I was shopping yesterday, a small boy accidentally dropped a bottle of burberry brit, and it broke. By the time I reached the area, about 3 minutes later, the air was filled with a wonderous smell that I loved right away. Even mingled with the window cleaner that had been sprayed on the floor to clean it, the brit was still proudly dispersing through the air. I am a lady, and I will be purchasing a bottle next payday! For my own use!

i searched for years for the perfect signature fragrance for me and finally found it.
i just love this and cant get enough of it.
opens very citrusy with ginger,but not your usual fresh citrus,this one is a spicy,a bit sour citrus.
then evolves into a floral woody scent,some may find this to feminin,but i really like it and find it trully masculine.
ends up with a woody tonka bean.
the whole fragrance is as many said here,powdery,but its really not like baby powder,its a clean fresh semi-oriental smell.also some said they smell vanilla or even chocolate in the drydown,i dont know whats wrong with there noses but there aint nothing like that in here.
i agree with the guy that said its not for clubbing,its far to elegant for that.
it also remind me of christmas,so best worn in winter or fall,even in spring when its not too warm,but not really for summer.
its not a big projecter but its very noticable with just 2 sprays.
lasts a good 8-10 hours on me,and even after that i can still smell a soft musk for a few hours.
so if your looking for a decent (not over the top sweet or fresh) classy masculine scent,try this one.
at first smell it can maybe come over as a little harsh citrusy,but after a few trys youll totally love it,i know i did.

for me 10/10 its just the best scent out there,totally adore it.

The benefit to staying away from trendy stuff is that you don’t smell like every other guy. The down side is that you can miss some good stuff. Case and point, THIS. Smells really nice. Easy to like, wow factor and distinguished. Fresh but not shower gel fresh. Really nice.

This is my husband's signature scent. On him it dries down to a spicy cedar scent tempered with rose and citrus. Surprisingly, patchouli never seems to enter into the equation as far as I can tell. This is not a heavy scent, even when applied liberally. The staying power is average to good. If you wear a tie to work but not a suit, this is perfect for office wear.

It reminds me of Earl Grey tea in the topnotes. I guess it's the bergamot and the overall English feel about it.
The drydown is more like fresh and spicy vanilla powder
Comfortable and cozy
Elegant and gentle
Floral and sweet

Very easy to wear in cooler weather btw.

I found it very powedery and soft, which I do like in a perfume, but being as powdery ad soft as Brit means the longevity of the projection itself is poor and re-application is vital. For a $20-30 perfume, I could do that, but not for Burberry.

Very decent. No word describes this scent better. Wearing it in the evenings, the scent is weird (in the good way), I´ve never smelled something like this. I´m 18 years old, and my collection of perfumes and EDT is quite big, because we are something like a "perfume family" at home. Would recommend, it fits from 18-30, in my opinion. It makes from every boy a man. I definitely don´t think that it is feminine. I, personally, don´t know how to imagine this scent on a woman.

I feel like talc powdered Bambi jumping through blossoming flowers in a nice spring day after it rained... own his way to the office when I wear it.
It's young, hip, fresh, soft, sweet and somewhat formal. It's not sultry, but can be suggestive.

It was slightly difficult for me to collect my thoughts and form an opinion regarding Brit for Men, because the scent kind of left me slightly disappointed.

Burberry Brit for Men, seems to me, to be lacking in substance and character. I can barely smell it, apart from spontaneous wafts of powdery ginger and damp woods. Perhaps it is supposed to be subtle, and while I don't like anything too strong on a man, this is going way beyond subtlety.

Sporty, casual maybe, but nothing too outstanding. Pleasant enough but underwhelming in the sense that it doesn't evoke any kind of feelings in me. Honestly, this fragrance could suit a man that loathes fragrance.

The powderiness is not bothersome for me, as I don't find it feminine like some reviewers perceive Brit for Men to be. It's masculine but too faint. There's not enough power to make me love it.

I didn't pick up on a rose note at all, but I advise men to not be turned off by rose in a masculine composition. Rose, when done well, can smell amazing on a man, take Le Labo's Rose 31, for example.

powdery and effortless
this is what i would normally reach for if i can't decide what to wear on that day

top: fresh, can definitely smell the GINGER and citrus
then it turns woody and powdery
the wood notes are slightly earthy actually
*very typical tonka bean and patchouli smell and feel
and the musk makes it powdery

doesn't last TOO long though

a very easy yet respectable scent
you would be effortlessly put together by having this on
very gray, quite and non-offensive
great for quite persons!

Love this. Perfect for a true gentleman. Somehow emanates a very chivalrous air when you're wearing it, provided you dress up appropriately(and by that i mean like a serious grown-up)
Do not EVER wear this if you're going clubbing, you'll be doing injustice to the perfume! Comes off as sweet and little bit powdery and settles wonderfully. Base notes are amazing. This is definitely an acquired taste

Surprised to see such negative reviews on this fragrance, I think it is the best unisex fragrance Burberry has ever made by far! My cousin (male) showed me his bottle and let me smell it on him- very masculine and spicy while being deeply sweet (I suspect thats the tonka) with a citrusy top. I had to try it on myself, and on me (female) it is so feminine, all of the rose and cardamon/ginger is what I get. Anyone who buys this from anywhere but amazon or ebay is making a costly mistake, I got my full sized 3.4 ounce bottle for $35 and I was able to get my boyfriend a big bottle too for the price of one of the same sized bottles if I bought from a large retailer. I love this as a room/sheet spray but it is a total wrist sniffer. I think it is extremely likable and unisex- it transforms on a woman or a man to suit them. Burberry, this is truly your finest- and what a beautiful bottle! It reminds me of a more masculine Burberry Red, which I also own- its just not as good as this, sorry Red! I am a little obsessed with this fragrance right now!

Another dissapoining attempt of a floral for the man. To my nose, the overall effect is a woody baby powder.

-This is the the oddest scent from the British line so far-. This is exactly what I thought when I sprayed today "Brit" on my wrist and I kept sniffing it for a couple of hours.

"Brit" opens loud with a overpowering top notes that melt together becoming rather generic and synthetic .

Just be patiente and then, this perfume will develop into something much more pleasant and complex.
In fact the real soul of the whole juice remains in its heart notes with a delightful mix of nutmeg, rose, soft woods and tonka bean.

Unfortunately, the fragrance quickly changes and develops really sweet, and (argh) something powdery with soft cedar and a whisper or rose in the background.

It is a real fiasco.
This is very unisex leaning on the feminine side.
I am sure a lot of girls would like it more than men.
So, at the end of the day, who would enjoy wearing this?
I can only picture young, skinny, androgynous guys enjoying this cologne.
Longevity is average. It develops subtle.

This is simple fragrance. The best "simple" can do. Its simplicity is its charm. It's seductive and mysterious and yet calming and cozy to wear. It may be the ginger in the top notes. Just don't let yourself be misled by the citrus opening. After a while this scent increases in power and CAN be cloying if overapplied. I recommend 2 sprays at first to see how it works out for you. The best Brit IMHO.

A 2 years old goddaughter and I have been changed hers nappies. Its just a hint of baby wipes and talc. But I like the smell. I like very much Brit, as I like the ad, and the London man and woman ad too. I don't get the rose and that's what matters. I was a bit sarcastic with the people who thinks that ":¬).

Baby wipes and talcum powder smell, in the best way. I read these comments, and they are not terrible wrong. That and the existence of a rose note kept me distant for a long time.

But the very good comments captivated me. I finally tried and had to buy a 1oz. bottle. The rose note is so insignificant to my senses that no flowery tone catches my attention.

I would never think that I would use the word lovely, but lovely was the first one that came to my mind. Lovely, here, has nothing to do with yupi or yummy. If you have a fine sense of romanticism, a discreet elegance on a circumspect but charming person, you know what it is.

As you know a scent just doesn’t make a person. But is amazing how you could be so direct being indirect, captivating all hers attentions by your way of talk and behavior, with the scent just lingering in the background, everything without revealing the most instinctual wishes and savage nature of yours man heart. In that sense, it would be a fatal weapon, maybe the best of it.

To kick some ass around you may wear Fahrenheit but Brit wouldn’t hold you if you have to, although would be funny.

The traditional Burberry is sharp and made my former secretary sneeze when I walked into the room. It also makes me thinking about a big art-deco hall of a bank, and the well dressed people who works there. London, although being the kind of traditional masculine scent, is just a smooth one that I change easily by Armani Attitude, and looks very amateur when compared to Azzaro pour Homme.

But Brit is different from what I have. It is powdery indeed, but in a well made manner.

It is strong in a way, most of all in the first hour. So, don’t over apply it.

I would use specially on the right occasions, to don’t reduce it to just one more scent.

This is very, very good quality stuff. Does NOT smell remotely synthetic. Lasts really well and has a great sillage.

So lovely. Its warm and comforting and really smells a lot like Christmas trees in the top notes!

Smells entirely natural, and lasts a long time with decent but not overpowering sillage.

The base notes are a vanillic woods with a good dose of musk.

Best worn in Winter.

Really well made.

This one's mainly a powdery rose that's hard to not like, but... much harder is to kick anybody's ass while wearing it, and that's a big con. ;-)

It's a pleasant scent, but it'll make you feel so polite, that you gotta be careful where you wear it - court or the IRS are a no-no. ;-)

Good longevity and projection.

Very wonderful woody platform. Romantic and soft with a touch of spice. Great longevity. You would receive comments as well.

Startup is just like green tangerine: sour sweet. The heart notes lead to a fresh powdery platform, while the base notes end up with a wonderful woody level, resembling a bit like a classic wooden pencil smell, which I love it indeed.

For Dior Homme lovers, it would also be an interesting choice, and vice versa.

The price is pretty convenient, considering such a brand, scent, quality and lasting power.

Brit smells REALLY sweet and powdery. I'm more of one for manly scents, this is very unisex, leaning on the feminine side. Girls like it but I like a fragrance with a little more manliness, something like london, which I really enjoy.

The Burberry male models-skinny, gaunt, effeminate, somewhat androgynous guys, are the ones that I see wearing this.

On a side note, Brit has the absolute worst cap ever made. That thing is like a weapon. The cap is like a box with razor sharp edges. I had to point that out

Very nice and distinct. It's a good twist for young professional. Kind of that bridge between a teens cologne and an old mans cologne. Greatly recommended for winter/fall and for those night out with a suit or tux. Not everyday use.

Burberry Brit is often compared with Armani Code (no wonder, they have the same nose behind it and both are launched in '04), however this one is slightly less powdery in the opening notes. The transition from top to finish does not take place so fast as with the almost linear Armani Code. Burberry Brit starts with a citrus opening, then goes to a woody direction where you'll get subtle hints of sweet rose and nutmeg (this is the "baby powder" smell). The best part is the late drydown that to my nose is very sensual (apparently the tonka bean and gray musk combination).
The overall effect is woody baby powder.
Sillage is great, longevity average.

Burberry Brit for men isn't for everyone, but I recommend you try this if you love scents like Armani Code, Le Male (Brit is more subtle), Dior Homme (Brit is more masculine).

My rating: 8/10

Imagine that you have a citrus tree, like sour orange tree.
You start eating it. First from fruit, then leaves, then branches, then trunk, and then root! It takes time about 2 hours.
This is Burberry Brit!

Oh, bottle is very stylish, I like it.


فرض کنین یه درخت لیمو یا پرتقال یا نارنگی یا گریپ فروت یا یه همچین چیزی دارید و شروع میکنید به خوردن میوه هاش (با پوست البته) بعدش برگهاش، بعدش شاخه هاش، بعدش تنه اش، بعدش ریشه اش ...
اونوقت شما احتمالاً بوی این ادکلن رو میدین

در کل چیز خیلی جالبی نیست
دوام و پخش بوی زیادی هم نداره

Very good fragrance. Can be cloying when first applied so go light on the sprays. Very powdery with light citrus. Good sillage and it last 6 to 9 hours on my skin. 9/10

Burberry Brit for men is a sweet powdery fragrance you need to try before you buy.

Sillage is strong but longevity is not as strong on my skin. It is a very unique juice with outstanding musk blend.

IMHO, Girls love sweet fragrance as they find it sexy and charming.

All in all. 8/10 for me. Be warned on a strong powdery tone of this fragrance. Thank you for reading :)

My first thoughts were that Burberry Brit smells like a lady's cosmetic bag, very powdery. But I really have gotten to like this fragrance, I particularly like the dry-down of this scent and the longevity. It's a great fragrance to wear in the cooler months e.g Autumn and Winter in the evening out with your favourite girl.

It took me like seven trips to the perfume shops to finally buy this. The Burberry line has been my most difficult line of fragrances to grow a liking to. I just found woodsy etc. fragrances to be odd until recently once I started getting into the sweeter, more profound scents.

Brit changes every time I smell it. I don't know if that's just the great chemistry they put into it or if it's just me and what mood I'm in. The nutmeg was very dominate to me in Brit and that's what turned me off about it.
Recently I've been smelling more of the ginger, rosemary, and woods, which I like. It's like a creamy fresh that puts me in the setting of a private European school. Something different to my collection.

The longevity is pretty standard on this one, at least it seems like it. I stopped smelling it after about 5 hours. The dry down wasn't a big difference from the initial spray either, which I also liked.

Brit is my favorite of the Burberry line considering I try to stay away from tobacco, nutmeg and leather notes as much as possible. Actually wearing it on my skin changed my opinion about it. I'm very happy about my purchase.

I dont know whats with this pefume but I cant stand it. Its probobly a great perfume since so many of you love it but for me it just gives me the creeps. Its like being strangled with a brittish gentlemenscoat drenched in spicies I,m quite envy of you all since I want to like this perfume and have tried it many times but always with the same result. I either give the sample to someone who likes it or I throw it away.

I like this. Vanilla-dusted wood, roses a hint of nutmeg....
I can see people describe this as feminine, because of the associations people make with smells like vanilla.
However, I see this as masculine-a scent for a nice sweet guy. I have a friend who wears this, and it suits him well. At some point I even smell the patchouli on him. It is faint enough, and well-balanced enough (by a rosy cedar animal!) that I actually like it here! Nevertheless, I hate patchouli, and wouldn't wear this myself. Burberry Brit makes a nice his/her perfume choice. Bravo!

Update: I danced with my friend who wears this again last night, and I had to change my rating to "love it"....How nice to dance with someone who smells good after dancing with guys who abuse the common aquatic scents, and (even worse) Axe.
When I choose a cologne for my bf, I would want something slightly woodier, maybe spicier, and maybe not so sweet... But this is an excellent choice, especially for a clean-shaven gentleman...

It is a nice fragrance. However, I am sensitive to strong smells. After a week of using it, I got constant headaches. For those who can tolerate strong scents, it's a great choice. For those who have sensitivity to strong smells, stay away.

I consider this one of the best designer scents of the post-Cool-Water era, really standing out from the sea of acquatic boredom and in-your-face artificiality. Burberry Brit has a very clear agenda and fulfills it brilliantly: to build a bridge between the classic British fragrance tradition and an appealing contemporary image, which is of course precisely what the Burberry brand is aiming at fashion-wise. What we get, then, is the citrus top and powdery rose-based florals reminiscent of Floris No. 89 and many other classics, with some modern oriental spice - ginger, nutmeg, cardamom - and a tonka sweetness imaginable only after the "sweetness fo men revolution" of the 1990s that gave us Le Male (1999), Pi (1999) or Jaipur (1997). What Anton Maisondieu has masterfully achieved is to seamlessly blend these concepts into a harmonious composition, in which all the parts balance each other out wonderfully. Admittedly, men who generally do not enjoy powdery sweet florals will not be enchanted by Burberry Brit, though this is a far more accessible and better constructed fragrance than the ones mentioned above - of which I personally only find Jaipur wearable, though much less interesting than Brit. Brit is a comfortable scent with a rich lineage, presenting itself in modern garb, yet avoiding the synthetic shrillness of so many of its contemporaries. An aristocat with the refined breeding of his ancestors, yet not beyond working for a living, and perfectly comfortable in the popular culture of the 21st century.

Wore this through most of high school, and it still gets me. The tonka bean really fires up the ginger and nutmeg which to me is what really makes this perfume prominent- plus in any weather you can smell it on yourself and it just makes ya smile, its hot!

I love this scent. Its smell like Armani Attitude but something smoothly and just tiny bit-feminine. I think that a good choice for men looking something powder, unisex, unique masculine...

Look like Burberry Fragrance,it has a long lasting power.

It smells like mix of little of Burberry "MEN" and little of Chanel "Allure pour homme". First is good - because "little of", second is not good, because is only hidden imitation. This combination is *not always* natural.
But anyway it is NOT MUSKY - that is good.

A fresh oriental woody fragrance for the modern man who still wants to remain classic.
A refined, sophisticated aroma for men, is an amazing blend of greens, hints of nutmeg and tonka bean.

I love the madarin and ginger notes at first, then the wild rose scent comes to play. After awhile, the cedar notes with the wild rose is what I smell through out the day. Plus I like the bottle.

Maybe because of cedar in components reminds you on newsprint... I had association of woody pencil and school... probably because of woody components.

Decent scent. Starts off with a hint of citrus, but then moves to a more woody note. It reminds me of fresh newsprint.
