These Burberry Summer flankers are getting old very fast...
Since I'm going into Summer now on my side of the globe, I'm only just getting around to sampling the 2011 Summer releases. Burberry Summer 2011 is passable, but certainly not exciting, at least not to my nose.
As per usual, this Summer flanker is heavy on the citrus accords and watery fruits. Orange is the most dominant note, being rather bitter and sour at times. My skin never works too well with citrus or fruits, so seeming that Burberry Summer 2011 is all about the fruity accords, on my skin it turns acidic.
The heart is nice but predictable with soapy freesia and delicate rose. The drydown isn't any more interesting with a rather bland blend of cedar and musk. The scent does become less harsh as the fragrance settles, however the underlying orange note lingers on. Not that I find orange an unpleasant note, it's just not something that easily agrees with my skin or my nose.
I still prefer Burberry Summer 2009 which was much more pleasant and less generic. Unfortunately I can no longer find the 2009 release, and in the next few months the same could be said of this fragrance, which is already gracing the discount stores.
