Okay so let's set the record straight and echo the review below. I cannot understand the number of negative reviews for this perfume either? Mr Burberry was not something I had anticipated as being any good, partly because it's Burberry, a dire house with only London (for Men) being remotely interesting (but still flawed) and the female version released last year was awful, cheap smelling, crap. Nevertheless, I will always give a fragrance the benefit of the doubt and never has one been more deserving. I'm not just blindly worshiping Francis Kurkdjian either because he's made many scents I'm not keen on but I can't say this is one of them. So what does Mr Burberry smell like? Well, extremely clean, linear and soapy almost to a clinical degree which will immediately put some off. I was even dreading trying this on my skin because I could smell it on the outside of the paper pouch my samples came in and I thought..."Oh no...this smells so unbearably soapy, generic, boring.." but when applied to my skin the composition becomes obvious, clearly focused and much better than I had anticipated. You get an opening blast of grapefruit immediately followed my a soapy cardamom, cedar woods and maybe a few greener hints of vetiver. The main player in this fragrance and the thing that lights up this composition for me is the nutmeg note which you get once it settles after a minute or so. The drydown is clean, clean, clean all the way though but not lacking warmth. This scent should be bad, poorly executed and much like many other cardamom based monstrosities of modern perfumery but something about Mr Burberry carries itself with dignity. It's kinda reminiscent of that Prada (Daniella Roche Andrier) vibe of being fresh, clean and smelling like very lightly scented soap, without being boring or cliche. I think this is a great little minimal fragrance from Burberry and doesn't deserve the harsh critique certainly in the light of recent releases. There's something naturalistic here and carefully considered rather than a poor conceived fragrance put out for the sake of it. Mr Burberry is not without it's problems, I mean initially I thought it would last quite well but on a heavy hot day, plus being active, I found that I stopped detecting it after several hours, which I'd say makes it average rather than poor. All told Mr Burberry is good and I would wear it.
