London for Men Burberry 2006 Eau de Toilette

This scent is way more sour and fresh and not as warm as I expected. The cherry sweetness is there, but mild and understated. Tobacco is also not obvious in the mix, luckily. The bottle with its fabric cover fits the smell perfectly, with the exception of sourness it doesn't convey. The chill vibe is kind of similar to Bvlgari Man in Black. Also not that much different from Azzaro Wanted, although this is drier, more reserved, more sophisticated, yet more aromatic/spicy. The image I have is a leather chair, a small wooden table by its side, and a glass of strong brown alcohol on it - or is it a cup of tea with milk? All in all, a very English smell indeed, sophisticated, but reserved and dry.

One thing that I have to note about this fragrance is performance. It is phenomenal. The sillage is good yet not overdone like with some ankle perfumes, and it is still going past the eight hour mark.
