Brit Eau de Toilette

Growing older I dont mind deeper warmer scents,so now I dont reject the EDP version of this (which I had rejected many years ago). Lime and sugar is no longer a favorite combination for me, but I do like the Burberry Brit EDT in the winter. I view this perfume as very unique in its league. To me this is like a much warmer, deeper Eau so Party by VS (pear,sugar,lime) without the poppy and the intense sugar which can be too much. So I definitely prefer it. The lime is an unexpected element and the star of the show. It's also along the lines of other sweet spicy ambery scents like Hidden Fantasy by Britney but with lime instead of orange. I do get a similar feel and vibe from Hidden Fantasy in the drydown, but with different fruity notes of course, they bear no resemblance. On me it opens up strong, with a masculine feel (pear + lemon grass/green almond+lime), the same borderline masculine effect I have from Eau So Party, but I prefer Burberry Brit EDT. I live for almond, I have an addiction to anything almond, but I dont get intense almond throughout, even though it is there and successfully smooths out the harshness of the lime and adds that aromatic milkiness of the almond. The lime/sugar element along with the amber/mahogany create a warm, kinda spicy (smoky even) effect. I associate this scent with winter time, wool skirts, fluffy sweaters and sugar cookies. Sadly my bottle smells abit stale. Ill have to repurchase the new design bottle. The drydown is comforting and cozy. Totally fell in love with this again, and I wore it in 73 degree weather today, smelled amazing. I also paired it with an almond lotion (Vaseline's almond), fabulous combo.

I knew that this fragrance has a strong citrus note up front but I was surprised how strong it is! Thankfully it is closely followed by that lovely almond note, I'm not getting a lot of sweetness with this fragrance but I'm thankful that it's in there because it tempers all that citrus I am sure. I do smell the peony in the back ground and I like that. I do smell some vanilla and a bit of amber as well. Really I was thinking for some reason that this would be a fragrance better suited for cold weather, however I think I might like it better when the weather warms up a bit in the spring. This is a very unusual fragrance! I do like it but I am thinking of trying the EDP version because I'm not getting the performance from the EDT that I was hoping for. It's more of a skin scent on me and that's fine but I really like to sniff my fragrance throughout my day. This is like all Burberry fragrances that I have tried: unique, sophisticated and absolutely beautiful!

I didn't think I needed this edt (current formulation) so decluttered it when I first had a bottle, because at the time what I liked about it was that the dry down was so similar to the edp (also current formulation!). I love the edp but I can only wear it in cold weather because I find it can be rather overwhelming when it's warmer, but I've been missing it and wanting to wear it! This autumn is normally when I'd break it out but it's been unusually mild, so I just decided to get another bottle of the edt. It's definitely an easier wear in mild weather! It's got more lime so it's more zesty and the lemongrass gives it a slightly medicinal, bitter, herbaceous feel. It's not sharp though! the tonka is gone so it's noticeably lighter and less creamy, but on me the sugar is amped up so the dry down is just as sweet as the edp.... it just feels sheer! The difference between the sweetness of sugar vs creamy vanilla and tonka makes this one feel thinner.

🥳 My First comment Ever on Fragrantica! I know im a lil late to the party...even tho iv been looking on this site for a long time now...But...i just had to finally make a comment! Wow so i recieved this fragrance this morning and i have never smelt it before (only the edp version a while back on a test strip) and after spraying a little bit on my clothes....straight away i was like...hey i smelt something like this before!? Do i have something like this...? Because to me this smell's Alot like a mix of Gurlain Mon Gurlain EDT and the OG Juicy Couture Viva La Juicy (mabe add in a lil bit of Kenneth Cole White aswell in the dry down)!!! 😃🥰🤩😎🥳 i love it!!! Great blind buy for me considering a few people dont like it and prefer the edp...and tbey say the opening smell's like lemon grass ect...yes that note is in there....but to me it's not that strong on the lemon grass!? Anyway...very happy with this now being in my collection!

I recently came back to this scent after reminiscing over the perfumes I uses to wear as a teenager. This used to be my favourite perfume as a 13-16 year old, and now whenever I wear it memories of me opening my presents on Christmas day (for which this would always be one of my gifts!) and being generally carefree come flooding back to me. I don't really get such an obvious citrus from this, I start to notice the smell of lime when I try to pinpoint what is taking the edge off the more gourmand scents in the fragrance. With the dry down comes a lovely sweet woodyness which I think is the part of the fragrance which has stuck so much in my memory all these years. It's amazing how a scent can transport you to such a specific time and bring up the same emotions it did then! This remains as much a favourite of mine now as it did in the mid-late 2000's and will be staying in my collection for the foreseeable future.
