Not sure I'll ever get past it. This is a no-buy for me, but Marlen, you've piqued my curiousity about Brit Red.

I have a sample of Brit Gold, and thought it was very pleasant, but so close to Gaultier 2 that I'd have to be a real vanilla/musk fan to consider buying both. However, I'd rather have a crop of vanilla/musk/sandalwood scents than the fruity florals that have infested the counters for the last few years! I disliked the original Brit, but was rather taken with the Brit Red, and am almost as taken with the Brit Gold. I wonder what they've added or taken away from the original? Nice review, Marlen.

I am planning on making this my SOTD today and give it another full wearing. I just wish there was a little more to it...Once testers are available (and that's how I got my bottle) it will be even more of an excuse to buy it and like me, wait for that sandalwood!

After reading your nice review, I look forward even more to trying this. I went to my local Sephora the other day to sniff this, but they didn't have it.

We almost agree! Except I love this more than you, as I love amber more than you. I think it's very lovely and that creamy drydown is really something. Although I do find that it is similar to the Red after the rhubarb burns off. I love rhubarb and I love amber so I felt the need to have both. But I think overall, the Gold will appeal to more people. I predict huge Christmas sales fro this one. Wow! We almost agree! Except I love this more than you, as I love amber more than you.

I loved its sandalwood drydown so much, I do not care about originality. It is well-composed and quite sophisticated. I am planning to acquire a bottle soon. The packaging is really nice too.

I agree with you - it is not very original smelling but I liked it to and the sandalwood is rather lovely in this. The SA sprayed it on one of my cashmere scarves and I do enjoy it but I am not sure I will buy this. :) Thanks for the wonderful review Marlen.
