Burberry Summer by Burberry

At first this fragrance was quite strong, a sudden sharp burst of fresh apple, lemon and freesia. Taken aback by the strength of the scent when first applied, I wondered how a fragrance of this kind could not be cloying and overbearing in the Summer months.

Thankfully after the initial notes subside, the scent weakens and becomes much softer and more bearable. The apple note, which is in some ways quite sour yet not overly unpleasant, blends with the rose and freesia notes making an interesting yet pretty scent. The vanilla is quite notable as it adds a certain sweetness which thankfully doesn't become too sugary or sickly.

I can think of crisper and fresher Summer scents, however I like that Burberry Summer is different. In my opinion it is more of a soft floral than anything else.

The lasting strength is good, as is the case with most Burberry scents I've tried on my skin. Although I can't say that this is a favourite of mine, I certainly like it enough to recommend it as a unique fragrance for Summer.

Fresh, light scent ideal for summer - as it´s name tells :) But don´t expect a wonder.

This is a delightful summer fragrance, a bit sweet, but balanced by tartness. None of the notes particularly jump out at me, and I don't smell the vanilla.

The only negative, is that it is so light, that I can barely smell it after an hour or so.

I didn't have a positive experience with this fragrance. I was actually otu to get Weekend, but I picked this up instead. The moment it hit my skin all I cold smell was Celery. Seriously. It seems exactly like celery only a bit stronger. I was shocked. It didn't change much in the dry down and it only lasted about 45 minutes, which, I guess, was a blessing. At any rate, I am not wearing it.

this is a very nice perfume and I didn't expect something else from burberry which is one of my favorite perfume houses of all the time.
at the first sniff I get something strong citruses or mandarin orange.surprisingly I get none of the notes which are mentioned here,but water lily and I don't know from where strong citruses came to my nose.
by the way I let it remain on skin for 5 minutes and my God!this is very similar "kenzo l'eau par".they both have the mixture of water lily,vanilla and roses.
it's very fresh and somehow aquatic and it's very suitable for summer wear.the long lasting power is good too.it lasts for 5 hours which is a very good long lasting power for a fruity fragrance.
I'm looking for testing 2009 version which has nicer bottle.

I like this a lot! A very nice spring and summer fragrance as the name suggests, the opening litchi and apple are present. About 30 minutes in I start to smell the rose mixing into the scent, I don't get any of the vanilla they say is in this perfume. I think it is a very light fresh fragrance with some fruity notes combined. I think it is ageless anyone could wear this from an older teen to in the 30's, even my mother wants it and she's in her 50's. Maybe we will buy a bottle and share :). Very fruity fresh floral frangrance with an airy feel but it lasts longer than I expected, it resembles the DKNY Delicious scents because of the apple and a little of Valentino V ete. I love this definitely a fabulous summer/spring scent.

I wasnt sure I liked it at first, but it grew on me..and Burberry fragrances are very distinctive...I like it, but am not using it very often...something about the smell that is a bit synthetic for me...

i loved the firt sniff and thought of a sunny day in early summer in south england, drinking lemonade, wearing striped shirts and jeans shorts...
but then the apple became too dominant and now it just smells like an cheap apple shaped soap. it's such a pity. i really like the design of the bottle and the first notes.

A classic light summer fragrance but has nothing to wonder about...

I quite like this scent and would have no problem wearing it year round. It'n not a suntan lotion, beachy type of fragrance. Just very fresh.

I found this to be only so so and I think it had too much freesia-burned A LITTLE

The smell is quite pleasant. I wear it sometimes, depending on my mood. It's a breezy not intense perfume but last quite long.

I wanna try this, but I would wear it during all seasons. I buy expensive perfumes so I wanna be able to wear them anytime of the year.
