Summer for Women 2010
Fragrance notes
Character
Burberry Summer for Women 2010 opens with a bright, candied burst of pomegranate and black currant, the fruitiness buffered by a soft peach fuzz and a squirt of mandarin. It feels less like a fresh-picked orchard and more like a bowl of fruit salad left out in the sun, syrupy and slightly sweet. The heart steps in with honeysuckle and freesia, a white floral duo that leans powdery and a little soapy, with tincture of rose and lily adding a faint, almost nostalgic creaminess. On the drydown, sandalwood and Virginia cedar give it a polite woody anchor, while musk dusts everything with a clean, skin-soft finish. The overall character is that of a sun-warmed white cotton sundress, one that smells of sunscreen and cut stems, never quite achieving the depth you hope for.
And that’s the rub. With longevity hovering around a whisper and sillage barely reaching an arm’s length, this fragrance evaporates faster than a puddle on a July sidewalk. It feels genuinely natural and airy, a mainstream floral fruity that sits close to the chest, perfect for a breezy beach afternoon or a brunch in the garden. It suits someone who wants a fleeting, cheerful accent rather than a statement, someone who won’t mind reapplying. Skip it if you demand presence or prefer richer, darker scents. Wear it only on the hottest days, when you want a soft, pale impression, not a mark.
