Burberry Brit

This was a great surprise. I ended up buying some Burberry Brit because of a lot of reasons, most of which had to do with a gift card, and also because I wanted something different.

It seems like it's been all about fruity florals lately. A fruity floral scent can be a lot of fun (OK, a few of them make you smell like a peach smoothie) and they're definitely very youthful and trendy, but I like a lot of diversity in my fragrance world.

Burberry Brit is a nice Oriental fragrance and there is a powdery base to it from orris root. At least that's my interpreation, I'm no nose. But it's a great scent because it shows that Oriental fragrances don't have to be heavy. This stuff is light and actually seems summery to me.

The bottle is sort of weird, it's all plaided out like the Burberry company is wont to do. At first, I found it a bit jarring but I've put it on my desk and looked at it all day and it looks less overdressed to me now.
