I bought this fragrance on a recent trip to NYC. I actually smelled it at the duty free store at the airport before boarding the plane to NY, however I didn't buy it because I had only tried it on the tester strip and I wanted to try it on my skin before buying. I didn't try it on my skin before boarding the plane, for obvious reasons. You never know if you're going to love or hate a fragrance!

So anyways, as soon as I got to Bloomingdale's I headed straight for the fragrance department and tried it on my wrist. I was amazed to say the least!! I absolutely love it! I got the gift set with the body lotion, shower gel and makeup bag. I have to say this perfume is sexy, classy and feminine all in one, perfect for any occasion, anytime of year... at least to me since I plan on wearing it A LOT. This has definitely become one of my favourite fragrances along with Givenchy Absolutely Irrésistible which I also love :)

Generic, generic, generic.
Disappointing fragrance from a designer brand. I expected more from Burberry than this. TBS could make this. In fact I think they already have- it's called "Everything that comes in a pink or red bottle." It's fresh, pretty, inoffensive, pleasing, generic, and misses everything that the brand represents.

This perfume smells OKAY when only misted but when you actually put it on your skin it smells horrid. I don't know if it's my body chemistry or what but this was NOT a win for me. It just smelled wayyy to old for me, and I'm 22. I'm still looking for another HG perfume.... thank goodness I got this as an ROAK (thanks so much!) but I DEF wont be purchasing it OR swapping for it.

Love the fragrance. I have a hard time finding perfumes, but this one is addicting and not overpowering

I love this scent. I use it on the days when I don't feel like wearing a really "girly" purfume. It's fun and pretty without being overpowering. It smells really young and... contemporary? I dunno, I guess it's kinda a modern scent.

I only gave it 4 out of 5 because I don't feel as though it lasts as long as other fragrances. I tend to spray it into my clothes as well.

This is such an addicting scent! I'm really bad at identifying notes of fragrance, so I won't be able to tell you what's in it. I found it at Ross for $25(which is a terrific price) and it's super addicting. You want to smell it all the time! One of my favorite scents.

I have been in love with this from the first time I smelled it! If I use just one spray it lasts all day, nothing to strong, yet noticeable. I am in love!!!

Sophistication in a bottle. It isnt overpowering, or under-powering. it smells like tea and honey... YUMM. it smells fresh but musky and a little sweet. It does not have an abnormal scent to it, its just classy.. It's not fancy though. If you know what i mean lol. I would wear this to a job interview, not a wedding. i don't think i would repurchase this though, it doesn't scream HG.. its just a simple fragrance, but it almost resembles one of those magazine samples once they lose most of their scent. it lasts all day though.. i do like it a lot.

I fell in love with this scent during my last shopping trip at Burberry--it's for men but since the bf doesn't wear cologne I use it for myself. It's gorgeous--according to the website it has leatherwood, vetiver bourbon, cedrat, black pepper and violet leaves accord. It dries down to a gorgeous peppery grassy scent on me that really is neither traditionally masculine or feminine. Only complaint is that I wished it lasted a bit longer on me. I prefer this to The Beat for women.

I just discovered this and I love it. I love clean scents and this is just that. Not heavy, just a fresh, clean scent. I was lucky enough to find this at a discount, but would buy it at full price since I like it that much. I do think full price is high though.

I was dying to get this perfume when I smelled it in a magazine. It doesn't smell quite the same as I expected but it still smells good. I think it smells better on than in the bottle. It is not a juicy, fruity fragrance at all and it's not necessarily young and perky but it's far from being an "old lady" scent. It's a warm, sophisticated scent that is perfect for winter. I'd buy it again.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this... other may think this smell may not suit 23 years old lady, but i m so in love with this fragrance. i found that the smell is very classy give a 'high class' sense when i'm using it. this is my fave fragrance from whole bunch of fragrance collection in my closet (i collect almost 20 different smell n brands). Totally worth the money
i WILL repurchase this maybe FOREVER. i will marry to this 'high class' fragrance and say 'till death do us apart' =))

I'm not sure why I waited until my bottle almost runs out to write a review .. perhaps because this is the first time I used up a whole bottle of perfume!
At last, I have found my signature scent and it was all by chance too. I purchased this at an airport duty free shop in Europe last summer. It had just come out and the sales girl was highly recommending it. Normally, it takes me weeks of sampling a scent to commit to a bottle.. but I bought this on a total whim. I'm so glad I did!
This scent has the perfect balance of crispness and warmth, which means it works well for any season. The drydown made makes me fall in love with it over and over. My scarf smells amazing from it.
I agree with reviewers describing this as an "expensive" or "uptown" scent.. but at the same time, it's totally unoffensive and approachable. Anyone can wear it IMO.

This is a very nice fragrance, it is fresh but warm at the same time. This is a cross between the orginal burberry and burberry brit.
