Burberry Sport for Women

In today’s review, we have an entry for the ladies from the Burberry lineup: Burberry Sport for Women. It was released in 2010, so it has been around for a while at this point, but is it any good? What are the notes? What does it smell like? Does it perform well? Please continue below for my full take on this perfume.

My Full Wear Review

The opening of Burberry Sport is heavy on the mandarin orange note and this is paired with sea salt. It does have quite a beachy feel to it, like a sea breeze coming on shore.

This is paired with ginger, which gives it a bit of a fizzy drink quality. After 5-10 minutes, the orange note settles down, and the white florals emerge. That opening is nice, feels familiar to me, but I cannot think of the perfume it resembles.

I get a lot of honeysuckle and some magnolia, but mostly the former. Burberry Sport is fresh and clean with some slightly spicy musk undertones.

I must say that the honeysuckle is very nice here. Even within a rather simplistic composition, that note stood out to me.

The composition is bright, sunny, and upbeat. To me, the fragrance is pretty darn linear, and there isn’t really any changes to my nose beyond this point.

In the end, I get a salty mandarin, ginger, honeysuckle, and a dash of musk. Together, it is pretty soapy and fresh.

I do enjoy the sea salt and ginger notes, especially. When paired with mandarin, it puts out a really great vibe.

Sillage, Longevity, and Versatility

Projection wise, the sillage is toward the lighter end of things, but I’d call it moderate. It’s not going to blow the doors off of anything, but it isn’t completely weak either. Not quite sheer, but not an insane cloud of fragrance.

Longevity is around 4-5 hours, on my skin. That’s not great, but a few extra sprays could bump that number up somewhat. Honestly, the performance is lacking with normal application, so I wouldn’t pay a high price for a bottle of Sport.

Seasonally, Burberry Sport is a warm weather fragrance. So, spring or summer is when this would be at its best. It does sit nicely in the air while walking outside, even without a huge sillage.

However, it is light and attractive enough, to be of use in a variety of situations. It’d be a nice choice for an everyday wear for office work or at school. It can also be used casually or for a sporty refresher.

Overall Impressions of Burberry Sport for Her

Overall, do I like Burberry Sport for Her? I think that it’s a nice fragrance, but it isn’t amazing by any stretch of the imagination. It is a clean and pleasant sort of fragrance, when you want something that is simple and low key.

You get a lot of the mandarin note, so if that’s not your thing, you’d be well served to skip this. It has florals but they aren’t too powerful in this one. Even the honeysuckle, isn’t overwhelming. It has its moments, but shares power for a lot of the wear.

It’s linear, well blended, and a nice little scent. The performance isn’t the best, but  Burberry Sport could certainly serve its purpose.

The highlights are the sea salt and ginger, which go well with the mandarin orange. It loses some of its charm, when it gets a bit more soapy and musky later on.

Again, though, not really all that much development. I don’t think this is made any longer, but, it might be worth a shot at a heavy discount from the online retailers.
