(Again) unknown scents, part 3: The forgotten Burberry
There are scents that are not earth-shattering, but good. Fragrances that people like to spray on themselves in the morning. Fragrances that don’t make you think of a ‘perfume’, but of ‘just smell good’. Fragrances that don’t hurt financially, that don’t have high artistic or other demands. Except those: to smell good, to feel good. Burberry for Men is one such fragrance. Two and a half decades ago it was quite famous, but now, in my impression, it has disappeared. Wrongfully so! /br /> I will not pray down the scent pyramid in this short commentary or search for the claimed ingredients in the fragrance. According to my nose, we are dealing with a fruity all-rounder, which is wonderfully smooth at the base and also a little bit – in the language of wine – sweet without being genuinely sweet. The initially well radiating and quite intense fruitiness gives me an abstract/synthetic impression, but not in the sense of those bad chewing gum and candy aromas that are currently circulating. More in the sense of: you can’t really identify individual fruits. Let’s say: Pome fruit. When the fruitiness has slowly ‘evaporated’ and become softer, mNnn can sniff a wonderfully mossy component. The shelf life is very good according to the Aglianico test: spray on a handkerchief in the bathroom in the evening before going to bed, enter the bathroom in the morning and sniff. If the scent is still well in the air at an ambient temperature of about 20 degrees and I have ‘unadapted’ it must be a long-lasting scent.
To conquer deeper regions of my heart, this fragrance would need more character. But then I would probably wear it much less often. A paradox that many perfumi/-ae might know …
Test recommendation for all those who are looking for a work or everyday fragrance without airs and graces and can bring themselves to wear fragrances under 30,-. They can be very good.
