The fine British newcomer
After I found the Mr. Burberry Eau de Toilette pretty good, I decided to buy the eau de parfum. Both are very similar, although the EdT is more interesting for me because it is more multi-faceted. The EdP starts out unspectacular, but develops very well from the middle and remains more linear.
I think the whole Mr. Burberry series is quite well done. It's all very well woven together. It starts fresh and spicy and slowly goes into a fine warm, slightly sweet base. In the fragrance sequence I personally smell nothing synthetic or if, nothing negatively synthetic as often claimed. They are very solid scents, which have been skilfully developed, whereby the indigo is the best of all for me. Francis K. did a very good job here. I think that a 6.8 points is a bit too little for these fragrances. Everyone deserves one over 7.0. There's a lot of talk about synthetics here, but when I spray the Creed Aventus, most of the feedback I get is that the Aventus smells synthetic. But it is Creed Aventus, nobody wants to hear that, let alone if it costs 300,-€. There's never been any negative feedback from the Mr. Burberry series that they smell synthetic.
I rather think that the expectations here are high because of the perfumer Francis K. and that's why he is rated worse than he is here. The shelf life is very good at EdT (7 hours) and EdP. The sillage can be intensified with a few more sprayers, but that can get pretty fucked up with EdP.
Well, there are much worse perfumes that were rated better than this one. Mr. Burberry definitely doesn't have to put up with anything negative.
