What does Burberry Brit smell like?

It opens with green lemon, frosted pear and white almond, moves into white peony, and dries down to vanilla, amber, mahogany and tonka bean. The overall effect is a sweet, warm oriental with a tart fruity start.

Is it a day or evening scent?

The sweet vanilla-amber base leans evening and cool-weather. It can work in daytime, but the projection is strong enough that some find it heavy for warm or crowded settings.

How long does it last?

As an eau de parfum, it typically lasts several hours on skin and longer on fabric. Owners commonly report it carrying through a workday.

Who created it and when?

Perfumer Nathalie Cracia-Getto created Burberry Brit in 2003. It remains one of the brand's longer-running women's fragrances.

Is it similar to other Burberry scents?

It is sweeter and more gourmand than Burberry's fresher florals, with a stronger vanilla-amber base. Shoppers wanting something lighter should look at the brand's citrus-forward lines instead.

Our take on the Burberry Brit Eau De Parfum Spray, Perfume for Women, 3.3 oz

Burberry Brit is a women's eau de parfum from 2003, built around a fresh-then-gourmand arc: green lemon, frosted pear and white almond up top, a white peony heart, and a vanilla, amber, mahogany and tonka base. It sits in the sweet-oriental family rather than the crisp citrus-floral camp, so it reads warmer and heavier than many fresh designer scents. The pear-and-almond opening gives it a distinctive English-irony twist that keeps it from being a plain vanilla. It suits shoppers who want a sweet, cozy signature scent with some tartness, and it holds up well against modern gourmand rivals on character, though it feels dated to some noses.
