Review of vintage edp:
OSMANTHUS. Plummy, suedey osmanthus. I love this note- it is always much darker than I expect it to be, and for me that alone makes this an evening scent. If you want to like leather, but find you can’t wear it, try osmanthis- it’s a very similar effect, without the harshness or tang you get with leather notes.
In the heart, I get mimosa and a light orchid note, warming BS and softening the scent.
The dry down is greener, with a touch of green hyacinth, bergamot, and incense added to the now soft osmanthus.
Over all, I find Society to be warm, a little dark, plummy, with light floral and citrus notes. Very elegant, with an almost voluptuous vibe, but restrained. Think of a full skirted dress with a cinched in waist- controlled, but very, very feminine, and you can’t help noticing the shape of the body underneath. Not in an obvious way, but you are very aware of curves 😉

I’m surprised there is not a berry or cherry note listed in this. All I get is a strong heavy sweet cherry syrup note.

I had this scent as a kid, and I only vaguely remember it. I do, however, remember the ad campaign…
Society – You were born to it.
And the Kardashians wept.

For me this is a classical indolic scent in the vein of Joy or Kate Moss Vintage Muse – not at all what I expected from reading the other reviews. Society is quite smooth and rich, evoking an elegant 80’s vibe. It’s definitely NOT a cold or sparkling scent on me. The top notes from my bottle are musty, which could be because my bottle is a little old, but the heart and base notes are still good. Sillage is moderate and longevity is quite good on me.

I’m surprised there are no berry notes listed in the opening. For me, this scent is about rich, dark berries over a base of moss and musk. I loved it when I first smelled it, in the 90s when my late father gave it as a gift to my mother, and I love it still. Look for the original Burberry version, not the later reformulation by another company. The original version will say “By Burberrys” on the box and on the bottom bottle label, under the perfume name. There’s also an image of a white knight on horseback on the original’s red, rounded bottle cap. For a special treat, layer the original version under a quick spritz of Hanae Mori!

It’s like having a mouth full of 5 flavour lifesavers. Only better. Truly one of the unique fragrances of yesteryear. Therefore in the hoard category. I must add an enveloping aroma. best of Burberry’s scents ever. Not available here any more either.

Still on the fence if this is ‘love’, or just ‘like’, but leaning towards love, at the first spritz.
It was nice, well behaved, proper fragrance, certainly flowery but very well blended.
Gardenia seemed prominent, and African orange flower poked through, not so much of the hyacinth or rose though, a hint of vanilla, all ever so lightly but nicely “smoked”.
And then there was this monster something that was sweet nearly to the point of cloying… is that osmanthus? I have never came face to face with the real osmanthus, so I do not know how it smells.
I was thinking how could anyone put so much of “it” into the fragrance but, at the same time, I was strangely drawn to it. It reminded me of something from the distant past, perhaps a place, or a flower I smelled in passing, but I could not recall what that was, only that I actually liked that smell.
Apparently, still do.
Overall, I get this feeling that Society is very aptly named as I keep imagining it worn at a fancy dinner in a fancy garden, by a well dressed, well versed woman who could very possibly bear a title of Lady. After all, this is Burberry.
I get this feeling that pairing Society with jeans and tee shirt might be a sacrilege, nevertheless, I will most likely do it as I’m a rebel.
I’d say Society is a nice fall fragrance, not so much for dead of winter, but ideal for the Indian Summer.
Sillage: rather soft, no tail.
Longevity: amazing! I took a long shower with one of those Dove Cashmere Oil soaps and, several more hours afterwards, Society is still here. And the drydown is heavenly; I can’t stop sniffing my wrist…

The name says it all… .
Classy, feminine, sparkling and fresh, not too young. Suitable for every woman who wants a classy and easy to wear perfume.

I bought this from a “bargin bin”,an untested impulse buy.
It is inoffensive. I spritz it on my way out the door to no where special.
I do not mean to damn this frag with faint praise as it is pleasant.
If the bottle was a bit groovier I would suggest it was for a young girl. The staid presentation of bottle and box is at odds with carefree ,casual fragrance.
As the notes suggest it is a bit fruity, a bit floral with a musty, powery ondertone.
It lasts for a couple of hours. Definitely won’t offend or frighten so okay for work.
