Brit is the only perfume of which I have bought two bottles. Even with that I don't think it's an amazing perfume, just a solid one. The perfumes that I tend to like are pretty strong, and if I want something to wear that's nice but doesn't stand out too much I choose this one. I agree that it is very comforting to wear.

The fruitiness of this frag really caught my nose, i tried some in a shop without realising it was feminine until i first smelt it after spraying. I agree it is a busy scent, but i found it pleasant and not harsh in any way, not in the top notes anyway, or maybe they just faded quickly

I second that!
Don't confuse the EDT and the EDP! The EDP is delicious while the EDT is quite the opposite.

Hey everybody ~ hold on a minute! (I am now jumping up and down with hands waving furiously.) This Brit by Burberry comes in two presentations. The EDT: Clear bottle, white plaid, light golden juice, smells like insect repellant...AND...The EDP: Clear bottle, Red & Black plaid, champagne colored juice and smells heavenly! MMMMMMMMM!!!

Never gave this one a second thought after having the misfortune of sampling the edt about a 1 1/2 years ago. I'd already written it off as junk. Just so happens, I was shopping in the Burberry store and caught a whiff of Brit EDP on another shopper scooting past me. The scent was rich and warm, vanilla with tonka and woods. So fitting a fragrance for this blustery November evening ~ immediately, I spritzed this one on and was completely scent-ually satisfied!

In it's edp form, Brit shows true class and character. The top notes come off like the chill in the November air as it commands your attention. Quickly it melds into your skin, gaining depth, sweetness and warmth as it progresses. Brit has almost a smoldering effect, and the sillage is supreme!

If you have been exposed to the disgusting edt of this fragrance, I beg you to give Brit another chance in it's edp form...I promise, you won't be sorry!

Among all the different Brit versions, this is my favorite. It's not very interesting and gets a bit too close for comfort to those scents that I do not care for such as Coco Mademoiselle and Flowerbomb but there is a freshness to it that stays through.

A really fresh smell, makes me wanna hop on the first flight to London! The thing is, fresh smelling perfumes are not really up to my liking. Still, it is a great young smell.

I really love all the layers on this one, but it dries down to almost total vanilla on me and ends up, oddly, smelling alot like Curve Crush. Still, some nice initial layering and definitely a warm, happy scent.

I luv, luv, luv Brit! I reach for this probably more than I reach for any! I luv it because I definitely can smell the vanilla, the slight citrusy scent mixed with the woodsy. Everything seems to take a backseat to the vanilla in the most heavenly way! And, the vanilla is not overpowering at all! I luv pretty much all vanilla scents but some are just too much! This is heavenly & for some reason makes me feel warm & fuzzy & a little flirty too! I have noticed that more men notice this & compliment me more so than women but I still get compliments from women too! 3 thumbs up in my book!

Wonderful! Enjoyable, fresh, and warm. I much prefer this in edt as the zesty lime notes are more apparent. The edp is much heavier on amber. This is a wear-anywhere, feel-good, uplifting fragrance that I look forward to wearing. Brit is perfect for any season and everyone seems to enjoy it on me.

Oh how I love this!!! I was a little worried about the lime in it, but surprisingly it works. I had heard it had lots of almond in it and despite the horrid price tag I went out and got the EDP. I love this so much, it takes a very special place on my crowded dresser. It is mild though so I don't think I would have been happy with the EDT. I will no doubt buy this one again and again.

This is my absolute favorite perfume, because I'm a fan of more urban smelling perfume with natural undertones. I love the subtle vanilla with the spices. The scent just makes me feel so sophisticated. This is my signature scent. Whenever I wear it everyone tells me I smell heavenly.

Very ambery and musky on me without being overwhelming. A lovely fragrance I can use year round- comfortable yet chic! It smells a bit like Coconut-Lime Verbana on my best friend and not nearly as pleasant so I guess it depends on how one's skin reacts to green notes and musky notes.

A very sexy, fresh, longlasting fragrance. The vanilla essence is not to strong, and is suitable for daily wear.

I don't detect any pear, but I do smell a yummy nutty vanilla. Mahagony is also in this, which I think gives it, it's depth. I love it. Finally a strong nutty scent that lasts. I'd love to own the lotion and shower gel,and I'd buy this one over again and again!!!

Wonderful Tonka Bean-Vanilla-Amber Fragrance with a blast of tart lime when initially sprayed. This is really lovely, well-rounded, and so appealing! I think it's one of those easy-to-wear fragrances that I can spray when I'm in any mood without fear of irritating anyone with it. In fact, it gets lots of praise.

Starts off with delectable fruit and fresh green notes, and as it dries down the sweet amber and vanilla becomes very noticeable, and to my surprise, the "nutty essences" blossom. It all blends together into a sparkling, enticing aroma that is one of the sexiest fragrances I've ever smelled. Dynamic, subtle sweetness and long lasting to boot, Brit is perfect!
