Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its fresh and clean profile makes it highly suitable for casual wear and the office, with moderate projection ensuring it's inoffensive. While fresh, its underlying sweetness and amber notes also make it versatile enough for daytime dates, but it may lack the gravitas for formal events.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bitter almond Benzaldehyde from Almond
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine a perfect summer's day captured in a bottle. Burberry Brit Summer bursts open with an invigorating splash of zesty lime and green tea, softened by the sweet, ripe juiciness of pear. As it settles, a delicate floral heart of peony emerges, seamlessly blended with the cozy warmth of almond. The journey concludes on a light, clean base of musk and amber, with a subtle touch of mahogany adding gentle depth, creating an inviting, airy glow.
