Mashed Pears and Sugared Almonds
Burberry Brit Summer may have a similar scent pyramid to that of the original, but I can't say that they smell exactly alike. I much prefer this Summer flanker. It's softer, fresher and fruitier.
Anyone that follows my reviews, will know that I don't usually enjoy fruity fragrances. There are only a few fruit notes that I like, and pear and lime are two of them. These two notes, when blended together, create a scent that is sweet, green, juicy, soft and feminine. Thankfully nothing in this fragrance comes across as being too overbearing.
Brit Summer is a really delicate fragrance. It is far more subdued than the original Brit, which often turned sharp on my skin. I would most definitely reach for this flanker during Summer.
The heart is well balanced with sweet, mashed pears, green lime, soapy peony and sugared almonds. It's almost a gourmand, however I'd describe it as being more crisp and clean.
The musky drydown is even more pleasant, striking me as being rather sensual and soothing. If only this Summer flanker wasn't a limited edition. It's one of my pet peeves when brands discontinue limited edition flankers, especially when they smell better than the originals.
The sillage of Brit Summer is fairly light and inoffensive. The lasting strength could have been better, but it's certainly not disappointing. My word to the wise is to go out and test this flanker as soon as possible. I fear that its existence will be short-lived.
