Burberrys Burberry for men

I can see the comparison to Tiffany for Men, though not as much to Chanel pour Homme Concentree. Here the myrrh/vanillic quality is obvious, as is the vanilla in the Tiffany, but the patchouli is much less obvious. What I think I like most about this one is how there is great contrast between the aromatic elements and the sweet, syrupy oriental one. Spice seems to connect the two and prevent an irritating clash from occurring. There is also a kind of woody background hum which supplies some "structure." This is the kind of scent that recent designer attempts seem to fail miserably at, and my guess is that lack of ingredient quality is the key problem (though in some cases there is another issue, such as being overly sweet). Of course some don't perceive the "synthetic" qualities of them, but that also means they probably can't appreciate the richness and depth of scents like this one. This is really well balanced and should be ranked very highly, IMO, even when compared against other vintage greats !

UPDATE: If you can't afford this one or just can't find it, I suggest trying Mesmerize for men by Avon. No, I don't think it's exactly the same or that the ingredient quality or blending is as good but it may be close enough for you, all things considered. Heritage is another in the same general range as this one.

It is a very nice blend albeit somehow, remotely, similar to Tiffany for Men / Chanel pour Homme Concentree. If there are citrics in the top notes of both, these are far more evident in the later ones, however, these points in common lurk around in favor of Burberry's, for the blend feels softer, kinder, mellower than the rest. Trying hard to determine if florals or spices are the ones behind these perceptions, one is left with the odd feeling that no conclusion can be arrived at. The blend feels well assembled, without any of its notes taking ther lead.

Dating from the early 1980's, I cannot state that the blend feels dated. Yes, it feels "heavy" to the nose maybe because of the oakmoss, but this does not compromise its attraction. It feels traditonal, gentlemanly and formal, and quite up - to - these- days, so to speak. Which is an interesting fact: many of the scents released during the 1980's that are still in production, even though I like many of them, cannot stop me thinking that they do feel dated.

very special, either you love it or hate it, had it in the 90´s.

My absolute favorite! Number 1 in my colleсtion. It is very similar on "Derby" by Guerlain but more softly & nobly. Old vintage lether, wild herbs and bitter absinthe drops.

As a classic fragrance, I wonder that thee's no hint of musk or aldehyde in it. The theme it displays is too rare for masculine and vintage perfumes.
It's elegant and teeny because of that gourmand and lavender theme. It smells yummy and waxy, modern though it's classic.
A masterpiece definitely and a must for those love warm fragrances like Dunhill stuff. But I got it a little feminine.
Dries down in deeper and smokier mood.

This is a masterpiece.
One of those that makes you take another deep sniff.
Airy & deep at the same time,
sweet without being too sweet.
There is nothing like it.

Ought to be relaunched.
