Greatest scent around. Hand's down best men's fragrance out there. The smell is clean, crisp and fresh, not overpowering at all. Good product highly recommended 💯
I owned a bottle of Burberry Brit in the past more less 10-12 years ago. I had concerns about its authenticity as the plaid design on the bottle seemed slightly altered, and they have now included "for her" at the end of the name. However, the scent remains reminiscent of what I remember! If anyone is familiar with the previous version of the bottle and is seeking a replacement, they will be pleased with this one.
I purchased this without knowing much about it, and I absolutely adore it! It has a subtle sweetness, a hint of musk, and a touch of powderiness, creating a delightful feminine fragrance. The packaging and bottle are also quite beautiful. I'm head over heels in love with it! <3
