Burberry Sport for men & women. Burberry.

Burberry launchs "Burberry Sport fragrances".
"Burberry Sport for Men" is an aquatic fruity woody.
Perfumers: Sonia Constant, Nathalie Gracia-Cetto and Antoine Maisondieu.

Includes frozen ginger, grapefruit, wheatgrass, marine breeze accord, red ginger, juniper berry, dry amber, cedar and soft musk.

The perfume opens invigorating, loads of sweet synthetic gratefruit followed to an ozonic, aquatic touch.
Then, orangy notes, vivid ginger and juniper-like undertone.

The company describes it as a aquatic-marine-ginger fragrance, but I personally don't detect salt, maritime sea breeze or something similar.
In fact, "Burberry Sport" shares huge similarities with "Clinique Happy for men" or "Mandarina Duck for men" regarding the zesty citrus notes, and it is a photocopy of "Dior Homme Sport" when we talk about ginger.

It ends soft and musky.
That is it. No much more expectations here.
Don't get me wrong. It has a nice, fresh character but it won't stand out of many other orange-grapefruit-ginger aquatic perfumes in the market.
The longevity is excellent and the projection is massive.
Apply with caution.


"Burberry Sport for Women" is a aquatic- fresh salty-floral.

Perfumers: Olivier Polge and Béatrice Piquet.

Includes notes of mandarin, sea salt, magnolia, honeysuckle, red ginger, petit grain, solar notes, musk and cedar.

I like it. A gorgeous scent.
Light and sweetly fresh.

It open fresh-light and sweet with citrus, and then inmediately develops into a smell-like "something familiar", but I can't quite put my finger on it.
The salty note is present but a different perspective. It gives a modern twist to the whole formula.

I can detect the magnolia and a heady fresh honeysuckle. The blend recreates an aquatic-salty imaginary flower.

The perfume develops sweet, more ozonic and less aquatic, very musky but light in a nice way, while the petit grain and a light ginger reign above all.
I think those who enjoy "Cool Water" or "Tommy Girl" style fragrances would enjoy this.
And lasts long, very long!.

Overall "Burberry Sport Men & Women" won't particularly bring nothing new or unusual in the market, but I'm sure they will become a good casual popular weekend fragrance, specially for the young crowd.
