Brit Eau de Parfum

I happen to be the very fortunate owner of the 15ml pure parfum :-) very concentrated and very powerful indeed. The opening is very limey, fresh and uplifting. After initial 30 minutes, it's all about almonds, tonka and vanilla, I can't smell much more than this at this point. Very creamy, well rounded, feminine and most satisfying. Pure Parfum lasts and projects only ever slightly more than EDP so I can't justify spending £50 on 15ml pure parfum, considering that EDP version lasts almost just as much as Pure Parfum if applied more generously. Still, it's an ever such a comforting, feminine juice, it envelopes you into a warm almonds shawl, it lingers for about 7 hours before it becomes a romantic, albeit only a skin scent. Beautiful, feminine, cocooning, sexy, uplifting. These are the only descriptors that come to mind. Would happily repurchase if only the lasting power between EDP and Pure Parfum was justified. The 15ml pure parfum bottle fits well into the handbag but the longevity is almost comparable to EDP so I'd opt for EDP decanted into a smaller atomizer. Overall, a compliment getter, a mood uplifter, sweet and feminine addition to your perfume wardrobe. Thumbs up ;-) Can't go wrong with Natalie whose creations I truly appreciate and understand:-)

I owned this in the early 2000s and recently picked up a new bottle very cheap. I'm tired of what's on the market right now and feel like every day another average fragrance is being churned out and aggressively marketed across social media, so Ive started exploring some old loves. While the bottle may have changed, I still get the same vibes: straight lime and a bright, fizzy opening. There used to be a gelato shop on Road 9 in Cairo that had the best candy coated almonds and pistachio gelato...after about an hour that's what Brit smells like. The dry down is warm vanilla and a tiny bit of almond, and something clean like shampoo. What I love the most about this fragrance, though, is that it never ever smells like anything else I've ever tried. For me this works best in autumn and winter with a fluffy sweater, but I've pulled it off in a tee and jeans in summer and I think it stayed more in the clean fruity shampoo zone. It is instantly recognisable to anyone who knows this scent. There's nothing else like it, however you feel about the scent itself.

i bought this because i read that it reminded people of Avril Lavigne’s Black Star (or maybe Black Star could be called a discontinued dupe of Burberry Brit since Brit came out in 2003 and Black Star in 2009?), so i just had to try it. and it?? really does?? feel similar?? i was hit with instant nostalgia, which i didn’t expect because the notes are different. ironically, just a few days ago i learned (from a tiktok video by perfumerism i think) that notes and ingredients aren’t the same thing which i assume is why two scents can have different notes and still have a similar scent, or the same notes but a different scent. so with this purchase (and that video) i definitely learned to keep in mind to not just blindly follow a scent’s notes

This is my first full bottle purchase, from a time when perfumes were more abstract concepts than digestible lists of ingredients. At the time, the rose note felt sharp and fresh, making me feel like a fae queen atop a throne of thorns. The dry down was warm vanilla tonka that sticks to the skin for days. It felt powerful, feminine, and bold, and became my signature scent for several years. These days one spray is enough to overpower my nose (it's the old formula), but there are still occasions when I crave the scent of roses lifted by a bit of fruity sweetness. It's comforting in a nostalgic way, but I keep the bottle as a bride keeps a boquet of dried roses - a moment to revisit, but nothing more.

I love this. Feels safe for the office but also warm and sexy for a not too sultry night out. I love the dry down, so creamy and warm.
