Brit Red Burberry 2004

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

At the beginning, there is a clearly recognizable, tangy, pleasant rhubarb note. Those who enjoy perfumes like “Aedes de Venustas,” “Ciel mon Jardin,” or even the rhubarb scent from Hermes will also be pleased here!
Rhubarb scents, for me personally, belong to the time from April to June. You might find that silly - but I prefer to wear perfumes with a specific, dominant floral or fruity note during the blooming or ripening period of the respective flower/fruit (exception: rose scents year-round). My own preference...
Later, the fragrance becomes sweeter, slightly spicy, and leans quite a bit towards the gourmand direction. However, the announced gingerbread does not really come through on my skin. It's a pity, because I really like the scent of typical gingerbread spices. In “Delice d’Epices” (Ricci), “Dark Sapphire” (Joop), “Manhattan” (Bond), or especially in “Un Crime exotique,” the gingerbread note is, in my opinion, much more pronounced.

Thus, “Burberry Brit Red” remains a fragrance for me that is suitable for the transition from spring to early summer, but rather for the evenings.

Perhaps the outside temperature plays a role... I am wearing it for the first time in early June (in the evening), after a mild but not hot day. It could be that it behaves quite differently in hot weather or in autumn/winter.

In any case, a lovely fragrance for fans of fruity-spicy gourmands!
