I guess it's no longer possible to make an aquatic perfume without it smelling like toilet freshener. The association of toilets and aquatic notes is just too strong nowadays. L'Eau Pure smells nice and fresh and lovely, but I don't want my body and clothes to smell like this on purpose. I smell like this after replacing the used up Domestos toilet block with a nice new fresh one.

This smells just like an apple popsicle.
A little sweet, but not sugary. Fresh, but not sour and not musky:
- Very impressed how they kept it fresh without making it sour.
- There is a very slight milkiness to it, but none of that decadent buttery creamy Ben&Jerry fatty creaminess.
- Also not musky at all like what you get from D&G's Light Blue.

Not very long lasting.

So before testing it, I was wondering why no one likens this to D&G Devotion or Zara A Sweet pastry in Paris etc. It's a grourmand citrus afterall.

Well it's because this is 1:1 Brit for Women by Burberry, which is 21 years old and no one seems to remember it. I do tho. It is ingrained in my memory. Trust.

It is sweet plastic vanilla. Do not expect the sweet and sour citrus of Devotion or A Sweet pastry in Paris or any real citrus for that matter.

Another case of test before you buy! Even if it costs €15 on sale.
