Burberry Brit Eau De Parfum – Women's Floral Perfume – With Notes of Icy Pear, Sugared Almond & Vanilla – Luxury Perfumes for Women – Long Lasting Fragrance

Forever my favorite and go to scent. It’s what I imagine a supermodel or badass ceo lady would smell like, the scent is a more mature version of lots of the Victoria’s Secret scents I grew up using. Plus they make a sheer version if you don’t enjoy stronger smells that my friend thinks is perfect for her. I’ve gotten lots of compliments about the smell over the years so I always make sure to have it on hand

**I am not insinuating that the one I received direct-from-Amazon is fake, but I did notice minute differences compared to the I purchased at Sephora; view my image with notes to compare/contrast**SCENT: I absolutely love this perfume--not overly sweet, not overly floral, but just enough of both. I would describe this as a woodsy, spicy, oriental fragrance with undertones reminiscent of vanilla. It is strong but not headache-inducing.To give you an idea of the fragrance, here are some of its ingredients:Linalool (spicy/floral)Limonene (citrusy)Cinnamal (cinnamon)Coumarin (sweet/grassy)Citronellol (floral/green)Geraniol (rosey)LONGEVITY: Lasts a good few hours, but mellow down to a more warm, vanilla-like subtle fragrance.AGE: I wouldn't restrict this to any particular age group. It's not powdery, but it's not overwhelmingly sweet. I'm in my early 20's, but I think it could be equally appropriate on my 50yo mother. My tween sister, I would probably recommend a Juicy fragrance.- - - - - - - - - - - - - COMPARISON BETWEEN SEPHORA AND DIRECT-FROM-AMAZON BOTTLES - - - - - - - - - - -I noticed slight differences, which may be due to variations/fluctuations in printing.-First of all, my direct-from-Amazon order did NOT include the Burberry sleeve--it just had the cellophane-wrapped bottle.-The glue on my Sephora bottle's cellphane seemed more secure, whereas I could easily open the Amazon one.-The printing on the box differs; Sephora's is darker and more crisp, Amazon's is slightly lighter and the color bleeds slightly. You'd have to use a macro lens to really view the difference.-The stripes printed on the Amazon bottle aren't as flush as the Sephora bottle's.-The codes printed on the bottom of the bottles differ in size and thickness-The second barcode on the Amazon box is glued on, not directly printed on the bottle.I have a pretty bad nose, so if there are any variations between the two scents, I can't tell them apart. I feel like they smell ever-so-slightly different, but not enough that I could outright say one is different from the other. Therefore, I'm almost 100% sure the Amazon perfume is authentic, and that packaging differences are due to fluctuations in manufacturing.

expensive but smells great.Too bad they don't sale just samples of this brand alone. I might buy others if I could try them
