Burberry The Beat

Mostly bright and zesty, like fresh orange or lemon peel. Underneath that, soft skin-like warmth, more the smell of clean skin than a scent of its own.

It opens on pink pepper, mandarin orange and cardamom, moves through tea, iris and bellflower, and settles on white musk, vetiver and cedar.

• pink pepper: light rosy pepper that sparkles rather than burns
• mandarin orange: sweet, soft citrus. Gentler and less biting than lemon

It lasts an average amount of time and sits close to the skin after the first hour.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
