I Heart Burberry Brit Sheer

It was love at first whiff!

I was walking around Sephora the other day, and a really cute pink bottle caught my eyes. Yes, I'm a sucker for packaging. It was Burberry Brit Sheer. Now, I'm not a big fan of Burberry fragrances in general so I was a bit skeptical this one would smell any better. To my pleasant surprise, not only is the packaging adorable but the scent is even more beautiful.

Burberry Brit Sheer is a fresh, fruity, light-hearted floral fragrance that embodies the youthful spirit of Burberry Brit.

Notes:
Yuzu, Pineapple Leaves, Litchi, Mandarin, Grapes, Pink Peony, Peach Blossom, Nashi, White Musk, Blond Woods.
Style:
Seductive. Hypnotic. Sparkling.

I just LOVE LOVE LOVE Brit Sheer! It is a very light fragrance perfect for summer. I usually just use one spritz and it's enough to last me an 8-hour work day. Even though the primary scent fades after a few hours, it leaves behind a sweet scent. I find Brit Sheer more floral than fruity, so I was a little surprised to see the notes comprised of all those fruits.

I bought the Burberry Brit Sheer Gift Set ($107 value, retail price $80).

The set contains:
- 3.3 oz Eau de Toilette Spray
- 1.7 oz Perfumed Body Lotion
- 0.25 oz Eau de Toilette Spray

This set is such a great value. Just the 3.3 oz bottle of EDT retails for $80, so essentially the perfumed body lotion and travel size EDT spray are free.

My signature fragrances include Versace Bright Crystal, Dior Ja'Dore and Giorgio Armani Aqua Di Gio.

I also really like Dior's Addict 2, but haven't bought a full size bottle yet.
