Burberry
Summer Women 2009
About
A light floral-fruity scent with a juicy opening of litchi, red currant, mandarin orange and grapes. As it settles, freesia, rose and a musky woody base keep it clean, bright and easy on warm skin.
Burberry Summer Women 2009 opens with a juicy burst of fruit: litchi, red currant, mandarin orange and grapes create a cool, lightly sparkling start. In the first minutes it feels airy and fresh rather than heavy, like summer air moving through a thin fabric. Then the fruity brightness softens and the heart of freesia, cyclamen, jasmine and rose adds a clean floral layer. From the available reviews, this version comes across as fruitier and fresher than many expect from the Burberry Summer line. In the base, cedar, sandalwood and musk pull the composition into a soft, slightly dry trail with gentle warmth. Projection seems moderate, with the scent staying fairly close to the skin and wearing well through the day. It suits warm weather, office hours, a walk, or a holiday mood when you want a fresh floral-fruity scent without sharp edges.
