Burberry Women Burberry perfume – a fragrance for women 1995

I loved a lot of the positive reviews on this, just tried it – and it is really horrid with my chemistry. I can’t wear this one — it turns into a mess on my skin and goes very sharp and rancid. I’m not sure which chemical note is causing this, but it is not going to work for me.

The new bottle design is simple yet elegant, it fits in your hand well and has a really nice spray to it. Looks very pretty – would look nice with my collection of Perfum bottles but does absolutely nothing with my chemistry.

This is why it is so important to actually try on a fragrance before purchasing it. I don’t feel that it would be a good blind buy.
However, there are some really great reviews about this.
It works for a lot of people!
Fragrances are so personal, you never know what will happen with your chemistry.
You have to try them on!

One clue, this has some notes in it which register in the same range with Calvin Klein’s Obsession for women, which I also have a strong aversion too. Both of these are horrid on me. I can’t wear either of them!

I’m trying this again, now – and have washed off all of the other fragrances that I initially tried when I sprayed this. It is setting up better on the skin this time – but the peach/apricot notes have a cloying quality about them. the other notes seem to be much better and blend into my skin more uniform. The peach/apricot goes extremely sharp – and rancid.

If you are someone who is having a reaction to this one — or if you are in love with Burberry Woman but just want some variety with a similar perfume – you may want to try David Yurman Exotic Essence. It has a similar depth, with notes of peach/apricot/amber — but the notes are much better with my chemistry. The dry down of Burberry Women goes really soft and toned down on my skin, nothing much happening. David Yurman’s Exotic Essence has some similar notes mixed with some notes that add depth and have more of a multi-faceted type chemical burst on the skin. It is more complex. Try that too, you may like both – or may prefer one over the other, they both have their own personalities and would expand your fragrance wardrobe. You never know which will wear better on your skin till you try them.

Today I’m trying the Burberry after laying off Mexican food with spicy salsa, onions, and garlic… Burberry Woman is much better without the chemistry of the stronger notes in the foods that I’ve been eating – with the Covid 19 scare and quarantine. There are so many things that influence chemistry and how certain fragrances interplay on your skin. If you are someone who has tried Burberry Woman and feel that you can’t wear it, you may want to experiment with the stronger food notes, see if you can wear this by shifting your diet a little bit.

There are some reviewers that have said they can’t stand the peach notes within Burberry Woman because it goes too sweet on them. You may want to try the David Yurman Exotic Essence or Bijan. Both seem to have a certain smell which is similar to the Burberry Woman base, but have added additional notes which interact and make it less about the peach type notes. You may find that you like this better.
