Burberry Summer for Men 2013, launched in 2013, is a refreshing Woody Aquatic fragrance that perfectly captures the essence of a carefree summer day. While not a permanent addition to the Burberry fragrance lineup, its limited-edition status only adds to its allure for collectors and those seeking a unique summer scent. This review will delve into the fragrance's notes, longevity, sillage, and overall impression, comparing it to other Burberry offerings and exploring its place within the broader landscape of men's summer fragrances. We'll also touch upon related Burberry menswear items and how the fragrance complements a summer wardrobe.
The Fragrance: A Sensory Escape
Burberry Summer for Men 2013 opens with a vibrant burst of juniper berries, a note often associated with gin and a distinctly masculine aroma. This initial freshness is quickly joined by other top notes (unfortunately, the exact composition isn't always fully disclosed by Burberry), creating a lively and invigorating opening. The heart of the fragrance unfolds with a blend of aquatic notes – think of the clean, crisp scent of sea air and ocean spray – which temper the juniper's intensity, adding a sense of lightness and airy spaciousness. This aquatic heart is crucial in defining the fragrance's summery character, making it perfectly suited for warmer weather. The base notes provide a grounding woody element, preventing the fragrance from being overly fleeting or simplistic. These subtle woody undertones offer a pleasant warmth and depth that extends the fragrance's lifespan beyond a mere fleeting summer breeze.
While the exact composition remains somewhat mysterious, the overall effect is one of sophisticated simplicity. It's not overly complex or challenging, but rather a well-balanced and pleasant fragrance that's easy to wear and enjoy. The aquatic and woody elements work in harmony, creating a scent that's both refreshing and masculine, making it suitable for a variety of occasions, from casual daytime wear to relaxed evening events.
Longevity and Sillage: A Summer's Day's Embrace
Given its aquatic nature, one might expect Burberry Summer for Men 2013 to be a fleeting fragrance. However, it possesses a surprising longevity for a summer scent. While it won't last as long as some heavier, more concentrated perfumes, it provides a respectable 4-6 hours of wear, depending on factors such as skin type and application. The sillage (the scent's projection) is moderate, meaning it creates a pleasant aura around the wearer without being overwhelming. This is a significant advantage for a summer fragrance; you want to be noticed, but not to leave a trail that's overpowering in the heat.
Comparing Burberry Summer 2013 to Other Burberry Fragrances
Burberry Summer for Men 2013 stands apart from the brand's other more established fragrances like Burberry Brit for Men or Burberry London for Men. While those fragrances possess a more pronounced and complex structure, often leaning towards spicier or woodier profiles, Summer 2013 embraces a lighter, more airy character. It's a perfect choice for someone seeking a departure from the richer, more intense scents often associated with the Burberry brand. It's also a distinct departure from the sweeter, more gourmand-leaning fragrances that have become popular in recent years. Burberry Summer 2013 offers a refreshing alternative, prioritizing clean, natural scents. In comparison to Burberry Brit Summer for Men (assuming it refers to other summer-themed limited editions from Burberry), the 2013 version likely maintains a similar summery theme but with a unique blend of notes and overall character.
