Brit Red Burberry 2004

A fragrance full of contrasts! At least that's what I thought with the pyramid and the comments...

At the beginning there is a well recognizable, sour, pleasant rhubarb note. If you like perfumes like "Aedes de Venustas", "Ciel mon Jardin" or the rhubarb scent of Hermes, you will also be happy here!
For me, rhubarb fragrances belong personally to the period from April to June. You might find it silly - but I prefer to use perfumes with a certain dominant floral or fruity note during the flowering or ripening period of the corresponding flower/fruit (exception: rose fragrances all year round). My own preference...
Later, the fragrance becomes sweeter, slightly spicy, and goes quite in the gourmand direction. But the announced gingerbreads don't show up so clearly on my skin. Too bad, actually, because I like the smell of the typical gingerbread spices very much. In "Delice d'Epices" (Ricci), "Dark Sapphire" (Joop), "Manhattan" (Bond) or even more so in "Un Crime exotique" the gingerbread note is much more pronounced in my opinion.

So for me "Burberry Brit Red" remains a perfume for the transition from spring to early summer, since it's more for evenings.

But maybe the external literature plays a role...I wear it for the first time at the beginning of June (evening), after a mild but not hot day. It may have a completely different effect in hot weather or in autumn/winter.

In any case a beautiful perfume from friends of fruity-spicy gourmands!
