Christmas is starting to come back to you, actually...
Hi folks, I'm back and as always I have a new fragrance description with me. I recently tested a fragrance that should be more familiar and is absolutely no surprise to anyone per se, especially as it comes from a mainstream brand, but which may be a little underestimated because they already have some really nice fragrances, namely Burberry. I have now tried the fragrance "Brit Red", which has been discontinued in the meantime, but is still available in some online shops, if you are lucky. Of course it is a bit more expensive than back then, because the fragrance was limited anyway.
So, I hope you're still reading, as it's not a fragrance you might have expected with great interest, but hey, it doesn't always have to be a niche fragrance or brands like Chanel and Dior, give it all a chance, yeah! You can always find pearls, no matter what brand. It's just like with you ladies. Most of them are vicious creatures, but I think if you look hard enough, then every now and then, with a lot of luck, you'll find some love among them, maybe even among you perfumas, I think, because I haven't found "something like that" yet :DD
Well, let's get to the scent first :)
After the tart rhubarb has disappeared, the fragrance becomes a little more sweet. Gingerbread is actually a fragrance that can be perceived, although I must admit that I would not have thought of it if I hadn't seen it in the fragrance list here. Ginger gets through a little bit, otherwise you smell, of course how could it be otherwise, a lot of vanilla, which is nice as always with the typical, powdery, pleasant touch of this fragrance. And the benzoin resin makes the fragrance even more sweet and gentle.
And so the fragrance then also remains until the end and, you can already imagine it, therefore always smells wonderful.
The bottle! The bottle is rectangular and patterned in the typical Burberry style, with a check pattern, where white lines appear on a red bottle. It looks quite nice, although it looks a bit simpler. With a fabric cover like the one used for London for Women, for example, it would have been much nicer. Still, the whole thing is nice.
If you like such sweet scents that go in a gourmand direction, Brit Red should definitely have tried them. It lies very pleasantly in the nose and pleases one when the scent rises nicely every now and then. As mentioned before, it reminds us of Christmas, which is a great time, even if the joy of it is reduced by the corona virus this year, both because the Christmas markets are cancelled, but of course especially because many more people are getting sick now (I hope that most of them get well again...)
... all the more annoying when some people simply don't want to see this and continue to celebrate in a completely selfish and lively way and then protest against Corona restrictions in masses (!) and thereby contribute considerably to the spread of the virus, thank you very much... bah... wouldn't it be great if all these irresponsible egoists had to give the responsible people a scent as a punishment to compensate for this? He he he :DD
Anyway, back to beautiful things: This scent here is really recommendable and so it's quite a pity that it was discontinued. Anyway, it is perfect for autumn and winter, especially for going out and things like that. If you ever see it, feel free to test it.
Hm, and I'm getting a craving for gingerbread... at least now is the time, so you can find those things everywhere again. What would have annoyed me, if it was spring or summer and I was in the mood for gingerbread because of the smell :D
All right, that's it from me again. Please take care of each other and stay healthy! See you next time and have a nice evening :)

Well, let's get to the scent first :)
The smell:
The fragrance begins with a nice, warm jasmine note and is therefore flowery-sweet. Rhubarb is the second fragrance you notice here, it smells authentic and therefore also very beautiful. It is a fragrance that is not often used and thus provides a nice, sour-fresh change every now and then. Unfortunately, her charisma is not so high here, so that the sweetish notes are soon more in the foreground again. After the tart rhubarb has disappeared, the fragrance becomes a little more sweet. Gingerbread is actually a fragrance that can be perceived, although I must admit that I would not have thought of it if I hadn't seen it in the fragrance list here. Ginger gets through a little bit, otherwise you smell, of course how could it be otherwise, a lot of vanilla, which is nice as always with the typical, powdery, pleasant touch of this fragrance. And the benzoin resin makes the fragrance even more sweet and gentle.
And so the fragrance then also remains until the end and, you can already imagine it, therefore always smells wonderful.
The Sillage and the durability:
The Sillage is okay, it smells good for a while, then it gets weaker, but still not as fast body near, so as I said before everything is okay. The shelf life is good, which is probably, as always, mainly due to the vanilla. So you can smell the fragrance still after more than ten hours on the skin
The bottle! The bottle is rectangular and patterned in the typical Burberry style, with a check pattern, where white lines appear on a red bottle. It looks quite nice, although it looks a bit simpler. With a fabric cover like the one used for London for Women, for example, it would have been much nicer. Still, the whole thing is nice.
Conclusion:
Soo, so that was Brit Red, and I thought he was quite wonderful. Even if it seems to be fresher at the beginning, or at least smells like an all-rounder, it soon becomes a true autumn and winter scent, which is mainly due to its gingerbread scents. If you like such sweet scents that go in a gourmand direction, Brit Red should definitely have tried them. It lies very pleasantly in the nose and pleases one when the scent rises nicely every now and then.
