I got it as a gift last night from my mother, and I insisted that my 15 year old sister takes it! It has no style, no personality at all.. just like you are spraying another cheap perfume off the shelf.. It is indeed fresh, but wouldn't suit a woman who wants something different and distinctive.

Since I am wearing it as I am typing, let me give my two cents' worth. It is not cloyingly or sickeningly sweet, unlike stuff like DKNY be Delicious or Ralph Lauren Ralph or one of those Escada LEs. It is fresh and ethereal, quite understated actually. It is not a terribly complex fragrance but it works for hot weather. I have a bottle of this!

It smells pretty and playful. Quite a young smell. Though I did wonder how it will smell during summer, mixed with sweat :P Staying power is pretty good. Got a sample of this from a magazine.

I actually gave myself a healthy spritz of "London for Men" the day I sampled them both, and found London to be nice but nothing special, whereas "Brit for Men" was on my mind the rest of the day because it had a certain something I found hard to identify and struck me as memorable. I'd be curious to hear what you think if you do give it a sniff while you walk through Macy's. I just did a search and I guess "Brit for Men" won a FiFi in 2005 in men's "Luxe" category -- for whatever that's worth (if it's worth anything at all. Actually, learning that makes me feel like my "find" is a little less "special". What a way to think, huh?!).
