The Body, the new Burberry fragrance

Who can resist a free luxury gift? I didn’t! I had heard of The Body giveway thru my twitter account, and went right away to Burberry facebook fan page to like it and apply for a free sample, which I received in a cute little box 3 weeks later. As far as I remember, it should have been a 30 ml bottle. I think it’s less. It’s tiny! Anyway. It’s kind of clever to get it delivered rather than as an in store sample. It feels more exclusive. Yeah I know I sound like a sample sucker. I’m not usually. When I buy my stuffs, I take only the samples I ask for when I need to try something new. But I liked the free delivery thing. And it’s like I asked for it, isn’t it.

Anyway, I put it on today, and well it smells good. A tad too sweet for my usual liking, but good enough to be a regular morning pschiiit. Would I buy it. I don’t think so. But I talk about it on my blog… So half of Burberry’s marketing goal is met I guess.

Nope! She’s not giving us a way to turn nasty. She wants it
