Wearers say
Wearing it
Burberry Goddess is a gentle lavender-vanilla scent with moderate projection that lasts throughout the workday. Most blind buyers keep it for daily office wear, though some find the herbal lavender prominent.
How far it carriesArm's length
Perfumers call it sillage.
Wearers find the projection gentle and intimate rather than loud, creating a pleasant personal scent cloud.
“The original Goddess is less rich, I would say, and milder vs the Intense.”
