Burberry London Special Edition for Women Burberry perfume – a fragrance for women 2008

i love this swiss army knife of a female fragrance! a soft spicy, floral musk that reminds me of the discontinued tom ford jasmine musk.
this is the best out of the london range in my opinion. it definitely carries the london for women gene but it is more refined and classy due to a pronounced sandalwood that always lingers around in my hair and clothes for days (not listed as a note here though) and probably because it is less heavy on the citrus (which can smell a bit cheap in some scents) than the original or the flanker from 2009. also, i find the bottle so beautiful.

performance is long lasting with moderate projection, even on hot summer days.
this is quite a versatile perfume for a fragrance marketed to females: very agreeable, yet sophisticated and more unique than most designer fragrances out there which i am quite bored of by now. plus, i can wear it all year round, day and night. in hot weather it feels refreshing, in cold weather it feels uplifting, cracking a comforting light through the darkness and rain. used during the day it gives off a groomed and competent vibe, applied for a night out it feels feminine and fun but always classy and poised.

i am honestly quite surprised that i can love this so much as i usually like oud, incense or indolic notes in my fragrances but for some reason my nose is very fond of this crowd pleaser. i wear this beauty when i don’t want to offend anyone and just want to accept my vulnerability. it is just so soft and comforting but conveys female strength and endurance at the same time for me. i love it and cannot believe that burberry did not keep this flanker in production.

i bought quite a few back up bottles when they were easier to get a hold of but because a little goes a long way with this concoction i might as well share the love for now. so if anyone is interested, i am selling one of my bottles european wide on the german ebay website!
