Brit Sheer by Burberry

Helpful Review

Pink, citrusy lemonade

This was the first Burberry fragrance that I didn’t fall head over heels in love with. Usually I’m lucky with their fragrances because they’re often flowery, light or sweet, however Brit Sheer was far too fruity for my liking.

I enjoyed both the EDT and EDP versions of Brit, so I immediately assumed I would like this fragrance. I often find that if I have high expectations before smelling a scent, I am usually left disappointed.

The pineapple note is far too strong and when mixed with the yuzu note, it creates something that is sour and acidic smelling. To some people this fragrance is refreshing and clean, however fruity or citrusy fragrances don’t usually appeal to my tastes in perfume. I much prefer soft floral scents.

Even though Brit Sheer isn’t my type of fragrance, this perfume doesn’t strike me as being anything special. It is far too generic and safe.

The lasting strength is also a disappointment, not lasting any longer than 2 hours.

Edit: I have forced myself to re-test this and I must admit that it smells much nicer on the skin. I’m beginning to sense a delicate, sparkling pink grapefruit scent. On a warm day this is quite refreshing.
