These so-called "false" peppers are used in decorative peppercorn mixes; and in the last 15 years or so, the extract has become popular as a novel peppery note in perfumery.

The Chance is probably easier to find at discount, so I'd probably take that too. The ad is great, and congrats for getting an SA to throw samples at you!

I have a soft spot for Burberry anyway, because it was them- Burberry original, in fact- that first clued me into this blog and perfume. Happily, I fell a little bit in love with Burberry. I would certianly like a bottle and find I have to ration my sapmle. :) The only other sample I've had to ration was Chanel Chance. I'd like both, but if I had to choose, I'd probably take the Chanel and shed a few tears over the Burberry. Either way, it's rather lovely...and I can't help but love the ad.

It had a very powdery finish that just didn't jive with me. I washed it off as soon as I got home, about two hours later. It's a shame, too. The bottle is precious.

I liked the Elixir much better than the regular. Half the effort, if not more, goes into the packaging — so not surprised that was the focus. I liked the Elixir much better than the regular.

A vice president of Proctor and Gamble spoke about it and I was amused that the main thing he discussed about beat during his speech was its cute bottle and the iconic Burberry plaid. I own it, but I have to say that it's not exciting--I bought it because it was light and I didn't have anything else that light, and there were no notes that offended me--and has terrible staying power!
