To find a great scent all you need to do is spend half hour in a department store. Watch the sale staff closely…. If they continually direct sales towards one scent before getting to now the customer DON’T BUY IT.
The Beat is one of these scents. So placid. Some what pleasant but plain.
Gone in an hour, and considering the price I won’t be purchasing a repeat bottle.
But what about the scent?
- sorry it’s already dissipated and has left no sensory memories to describe.

update:
okay, I've just woken from a nap in the afternoon sun and I smell good.
So The Beat needs a little body heat to come out.
(soft wood, clean powder and a gentle soapy veil)
A PERFUME WHEN YOU DON'T WONT TO SMELL LIKE YOUR WEARING A PERFUME - still not worth the price tag

The smell of this is very unique,it honestly makes me feel special.
Love this scent so very much:)

refreshing-
Opens rather sweet and fruity and maintains some fruited overtone without smelling like any particular fruit-has a citric tartness, the not too strong pepper taste, young powderiness...and the cedar which isn't astringent, but lends its pallor and dryness in good contrast to the minimalistic floral heart with the touch of green tea.
Very likeable and "plain good" even if synthetic-a good synthetic scent that does not smell synthetic in the sense of plastic or factories. Doesn't smell like anything in nature, but smells comfortable anyhow.
Burberry fragrances don't appeal to my sense of style--they're more cute than elegant-- but I've liked very much each that I have tried! However, each Burberry fragrance I've tried is bursting with a powderiness that remains in the boundary of pleasant, but if any of the line manages to be more powdery or sweeter, or go further with a synthetic edginess, I wouldn't like it.


It's so fresh and in the same time so sour... Mebye it is because of pink pepper?
I don't like it at all.


I wore this to work last night and I had never recieved so many compliments on how nice I smelled. People asked what I was wearing, and told me I smelled so fresh and clean. I also felt clean throughout my shift when I reapplied the scented lotion after washing my hands. Wonderful, fun fragrance.

I would say that The Beat could easily translate into a unisex fragrance. There is definitely a masculine quality to this scent, but I still feel feminine while wearing it.


Why this is an Eau De Parfum, Ive no idea, since the lasting power is not very long lasting at all.
recommeded for late teens - mid thirtees.

I was able to purchase it from FragranceNet at a great price. As you can see below, they have one of the best prices available, but if you use coupon code PVF8 you can get an extra 15% off your purchase, which would make FragranceNet the best price out there!

The smell is wonderful. The first spritz reaaly gets me into it: delicious bergamote and pepper. But after 3 hours it gets very close to the skin. I can only smell it right if I get my arm close to my nose.
So, again, I repeat: it could be considered an EDT instead of a EDP.
But I still love it. Yesterday I bought a 75ml flask (and I still have my 30ml).


THE BEAT is an oddity in my perfume wardrobe since i love this one even it contains vetiver meanwhile my nose tends to hate vetiver.
this fragrance opens with a soft and bitter note; later it turns to more deep and softer scent; but starts to smell like floral-scented baby powder; but the baby here aged like 20's. i cannot describe it well becos its scent is simple but has a deeper meaning.
and yet again, the vetiver ends really different than the other fragrances i've ever tried. it is not annoying, it is energizing and make you feel like you can do anything.
one slight problem, it has poor staying power. it will fade away in 2 hours top. i live in tropical country, so no problem with me, anyway, i work at home so i dont have to impress anyone but my hubby who always give me compliment when i wear this :)

Musk is the base note I recognize, cause from the flowery start the lingeringly landing is creamy and powdery.
This is long lasting and mind occupying smell, it is hard not to notice him. Suits the spring and fall days, better for younger population (define young?!), casual style.
Beat is trendy, nutty, lively, daft and kicking creation.
It is not the beat which makes me move, but everyone else should give it a try.


In the beginning it seems like a unisex scent due to the pepper and the cedar but at the drydown i smell an almost vanilla-ish finish. Probably a combination of the tea and vetiver. Its is an uplifting fragrance and helps put a little pep your step.
Very modern and fresh and lovely. A perfect option when you don't want something too light or too heavy.

But later.. I discovered how nice is it! In my opinion this perfume is very nice one- still sweet florals, but blended with citruses very well just like Brit is. I think if you love Brit you will love this one too. It's delicate yet longlasting and has medium intensity, it's sweet, but is perfectly balanced by citruses.
Still, as I've said, it starts off VERY well: It has a fizzy lightness which is very invigorating and truly sanguine. It is a young kind of scent and nothing I would buy personally, still with the right body chemistry this could be a smashing perfume!


Luckily for me the pink pepper/cardomom/tea/cedar keeps the soapy type florals (iris,hyacinth) from being too powdery adding a sexy and sweet woodsy spice almost like burnt flowers or flowers on fire! Perfect!
After a few minutes The Beat changes from smelling like Brit to drying down and smelling similar to one of my favorite perfumes, CK IN2U! It has the same sour-sweet fruits, creamy musky vanilla and spicy cedar thing going on. The Beat is strong but has less cedar and not as much of a unisex feel as CK. Great from beginning to end!



at the first,it's like many typical pink perfumes.in fact I can describe it as a mixture of Lacoste "youch of pink" and "dream of pink",but it's more sage than both of them.I obviously get the citrus note that to me it's like pink grapefruit.
the middle notes are so lovely and romantic too.the tea note is very clear and the floral notes are sweet just like the girl who's going to wear this perfume.
it's a very good fragrance for spring for a classy sassy girl who's getting ready to go to the party.

I was slightly off-put by the top notes which were a little too citrusy for me, yet the drydown caught me off guard and sent me spiralling into a state of love.
The Beat is modern, eccentric and powerful. The scent can be sweet at times, but it never loses its sex appeal or transforms into something sickeningly sugary. I sense a coconut note for some strange reason, which makes me think that this fragrance is the perfect scent for a celebration. Perhaps it is also the bottle which is shaped like a flask that makes me think of a party-like atmosphere.
This scent's only downfall was the lasting power, which shocked me because Burberry fragrances usually last for ages on my skin. The Beat unfortunately didn't last any more than an hour on me.
Although this is a light scent, I haven’t had a problem with the staying power.
Scent notes: Bergamot, mandarin, Ceylon tea, cardamom, pink pepper, bluebell, iris, white musk, vetiver and cedarwood.


Since I mostly buy my fragrances "unsniffed" is this quite a disappointment to me! Reading all the good reviews I have expected more of this fragrance.
I will probably wear it while doing some cleaning in the house, etc……
I am pretty sure on the right person it will smell quite nice though....




This was a great surprise: optimystic, full of energy, fresh, fun! It's great to start the day with a kick of citrus and spices at the begginig and a powdery drydown wich I really like. Quite longlasting too. Young, free and joyfull, this fragrance is suitable for spring/summer days.
Oh and I love the bottle... so trendy like the scent itself!

I´m wearing mine today and I have to agree with Marianne: at first it has something that reminds me of Brit (which I also have). But when it dries, it gets different, light powdery.
The lasting is not that good, stated that this is an EDP. It could be designed EDT perfectly.

A blend of unexpected contrasts expressing the unique personality of the Burberry woman, naturally sparkling, slightly wild, incredibly chic and sexy.
Traditional floral notes of iris, bergamot and bluebell combine with ceylon tea, cardamom, pink pepper, mandarin, white musk, vetiver, and cedarwood for a smoky and sexy composition.


For my nose, its subtle-floral and suitable for everyday use.
Im agree its nothing spectacular.













In my opinion it is a fresh, innocent and feminine perfume, suitable for summer.
After a couple of hours I don't feel the smell anymore, but people arround me told me "you smell good".
