Burberry Summer for Women 2013, a fleeting summer romance bottled, arrived on the scene as a limited edition offering from the iconic British fashion house. While not as widely discussed as some of Burberry's more established fragrances like Burberry Body or Burberry Weekend, it holds a unique place in the brand's olfactory history, capturing a specific moment of breezy, sun-drenched optimism. This review will delve into the scent profile, its longevity and sillage, and compare it to other fragrances in the Burberry portfolio. We'll also briefly address some broader concerns regarding Burberry's customer service and product complaints, though these will not be the primary focus of this in-depth look at the Summer 2013 edition.
The Scent: A Sun-Kissed Escape
Burberry Summer for Women 2013 is classified as a Floral Fruity fragrance. Unlike some intensely sweet or overtly fruity scents, this one achieves a delicate balance. The top notes offer a refreshing burst of citrus, likely incorporating notes of lemon or mandarin, creating an immediate sense of vibrancy. This initial zing quickly gives way to a heart of delicate florals. While the exact composition isn't publicly listed in complete detail, the overall impression is one of soft, feminine blooms – perhaps a blend of white flowers like freesia or subtle rose, lending a touch of elegance without being overpowering. The base notes provide a gentle warmth and grounding, possibly incorporating light musks or woods, preventing the fragrance from feeling too fleeting or superficial.
The overall effect is a scent that evokes a summer day spent by the sea or in a sun-drenched garden. It's lighthearted, optimistic, and effortlessly chic. It's the kind of fragrance you'd reach for on a warm day, wanting something refreshing and uplifting without being intrusive. The balance between fruity and floral is key to its success; it avoids being overly sugary or overly sharp, creating a well-rounded and pleasant olfactory experience.
Longevity and Sillage: A Summer's Daydream
Given its light and airy nature, it's not surprising that Burberry Summer 2013 doesn't have the same projection and longevity as some of Burberry's more potent offerings. The sillage is moderate; it leaves a subtle, pleasant trail without announcing its presence too forcefully. This is in keeping with the overall character of the fragrance; it’s meant to be a close-to-the-skin scent, a personal summer indulgence rather than a statement perfume. The longevity is also moderate; expect it to last for several hours, though you may need to reapply after a few hours, especially in warmer weather. This isn't necessarily a negative; the subtle nature of the fragrance makes it perfect for daytime wear, where a less intense scent is often preferable.
