About this item
Burberry builds an oddly literal gourmand structure here, leaning on candied sweetness to do much of the compositional work through the center stage. Green almond, Italian lime and pear open with a crisp, slightly nutty freshness that hints at the sweetness building underneath. Candied almond, sugar, peony and a dragée accord crowd the center into an intensely sweet, floral density that shifts the fragrance well beyond its citrus start. Vanilla, tonka bean, amber and mahogany wrap things up warm and rich, giving Brit For Her Eau de Parfum serious staying power once fully developed. Oriental gourmand is the fitting classification, dense enough for evening wear while remaining workable on a cooler afternoon. It suits dinners, celebrations and any cool-weather occasion calling for a fragrance with serious richness. Fall and winter favor the mahogany and tonka close most, once that sweetness has had time to settle. Few fragrances commit this fully to a candy-shop concept without tipping into something cloying.
