Summer for Women 2013
Fragrance notes
Character
Burberry Summer for Women 2013 opens with a tart pop of pomegranate and mandarin orange, the green leaves lending a sharp, almost dewy bite that keeps the citrus from turning syrupy. Soon enough, the heart clarifies into a soft, vaguely soapy bouquet of freesia and lily-of-the-valley, with the rose barely peeking through like a shy guest who leaves early. The drydown settles into a clean white musk dusted with cedar and a whisper of sandalwood, but by then the whole thing is already packing its bags.
This is a fragrance that arrives as a pleasant thought and vanishes before you can finish the sentence. With longevity hovering barely above two hours and sillage that barely registers a whisper, it feels less like a summer memory and more like the ghost of one a single, perfect breath of cotton laundry drying in a sunlit meadow, then gone. It’s an utterly mainstream, polite fruity floral that never dares to be loud or demanding. That makes it a fine companion for a quick brunch or an afternoon errand in the heat, but anyone expecting a scent to carry from lunch into dusk will be left reapplying and disappointed. Skip it if you want presence or complexity; wear it if you want a fleeting, uncomplicated breeze.
