Burberry Brit Eau de Toilette Burberry perfume – a fragrance for women 2004

I had tested this at Sephora and remembered liking it a lot so when I saw it for a great price, I took the bait. Wow! I didn’t remember it all that well. I didn’t like it, I loved it! On me, it is sweet from the get go. Vanilla and lime but also a very powdery almond, which is one if my favorite scents, I’m learning. I do like citrus elements but usually find them either overly screechy or somewhat too sweet and artificial. I can’t stand either element. This is the perfect way to do citrus, imo, it’s so wearable.
Today, Minnesota weather is sunny and cold, maybe low 30’s F and j think I will enjoy it as this temp. But, I’m also hopeful it will be versatile with all kind of weather/seasons. It’s a comforting scent without being weighted down. Perhaps the lime and pear balance out the vanilla and almond and my all seasons, all events dreams will come true! I haven’t worn it long enough to comment on longevity, I’ll return to update that, but I’d give it a moderate + on sillage. Two sprays is plenty.
So now, two Burberry’s in (Burberry women and Brit EDT) I’m so happy to be familiarized with this house. Nummy all around!
ETA: sadly longevity on me is quite poor. Is say a 4/10. I did just order some scented lotion to layer this but without it, I have to refresh after 4 hours or so. And, I do usually go for EDP’s but I’m worried I won’t like that version of Brit as much as I like the EDT. As they say, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
Update #2- can yo believe I no longer like this?? It’s crazy! I order the EDP and that’s the one I’ll keep. After I wore this a few times, I wound up being annoyed by it. It didn’t have anything to “grab on to.” No strength in any one note and I just kept searching and searching for one to no avail. The EDP is less limey and pear but more vanilla. While the vanilla isn’t aharp, it has some guts to it which I found lacking here. Aren’t fragrances and noses silly?! Anyway, I’ll give this up in a swap and keep the EDP. Honestly, they aren’t so different but I sure don’t need both and the EDP wins out for having a backbone.
