Burberry Brit Rhythm’s Composition

Striving to create an overall leather fragrance, Brit Rhythm is assortment of resin, wood and aromatic notes. The resulting blend brings Burberry Brit Rhythm into the Woody Spicy Leather sub-family.

Head Notes

• Basil
• Cardamom
• Juniper
• Verbena

Brit Rhythm opens on a refreshingly sharp head composed of basil and verbena. Meanwhile, bitter cardamom and ripe juniper berries create contrast for a warmer finish.

Heart Notes

• Benzoin
• Labdanum
• Patchouli

As the head’s sharper notes fade, a leather accord reveals itself through a blend of musky labdanum and balsamic benzoin. Earthy patchouli lingers to offer a more rounded and tangible leather scent.

Base Notes

• Cedarwood
• Coumarin
• Myrrh

The patchouli evaporates to leave the leather accord, which interacts with the base’s woody notes. Fresh cedarwood and bittersweet tonka bean make a spicy and resinous accord. Shortly after, myrrh creates a sweet licorice note, which playfully hangs over the leather finish.

Brit Rhythm’s Life-Cycle

Brit Rhythm’s is generally interesting and avoids featuring an overall linear evolution. Whilst the head can be overly sharp, the ensuing heart and base feature fluctuating independent notes that make tantalising accords.

However, sometimes the fragrance lacks balance. As mentioned above, the head is very sharp and zesty whilst the heart can be too sweet. However, the dry down is very enjoyable and the remnants of the heart interact very well with the base.

Wake & Strength Of Brit Rhythm

When the base is still fresh, both the sillage and projection are perfectly adequate. They perform well and give tantalising hints at a fair distance. However, they do reveal themselves a little too early and don’t leave much mystery at a few feet away.

However, the longevity is somewhat weak and the fragrance loses momentum within a few hours. It’s still present some hours down the line but only a pale reflection of its former self. If sprayed on before leaving for work in the morning, it may need a top up just before the lunch break.
