The Classic Fragrance, May 14, 2008
This review is from: Original Claire Burke Vapourri Room Spray (Health and Beauty)
Claire Burke's Original Vapourri is a classic fragrance for a home. I grew up with this scent. When I would visit my auntie's big, rambling Victorian home in Cleveland Heights in the fifties and sixties, I could be sure of a few things: fun new foods to try, sleeping upstairs in the third floor bedrooms, having a bath in the claw-foot tub, and this fragrance wafting throughout the house. I associate this scent with a traditional home, filled with wonderful family life and heirlooms.
Claire Burke's Original Vapourri is flowery from rose and lavender, but not too flowery. It's not too spicy, but the vetiver and amber in it keeps it from being sweet. It's not overstrong, where you want to open up a window when you use it, but it's not the type to dissipate so fast you wonder if you used it, either. It's a soft fragrance, used in the spray in tiny bursts, so one canister lasts a long time. I have put one of the oil-reed scent diffusers up on top of my grandfather clock on the landing of my stairwell, so that the scent is not just in my bathrooms, where the spray canisters "live." When people come to my home, they usually say, "Your house always smells so nice. What is that?"
Not easy to find in retail stores any more. Glad that Amazon.com carries the whole line!

Claire Burked Original is not "original" anymore!, September 2, 2011
This review is from: Original Claire Burke Vapourri Room Spray (Health and Beauty)
I ordered a CASE (first and last time doing something like that) of my favorite home spray, Claire Burke Original Vapourri ... and it smells NOTHING like it used to! The new formula is definitely not an improvement over the old, lovely one. In fact, I can't stand the new smell. I wonder why the new company felt they had to tinker with something that was so perfect???

"new Original" is virtually indistinguishable from "old Original" of Claire Burke Original Vapourri, October 20, 2011
This review is from: Original Claire Burke Vapourri Room Spray (Health and Beauty)
Other reviewers said the new formulation of the "original" scent of Claire Burke Original Vapourri was way off the mark. I disagree. I ordered a bottle of the new formulation and gave it the sniff test against a sniff of what remains of my "original Original." There was a difference, true, but it was *very* minute. Unless you are a professional nose, you are not going to notice it. Go ahead and buy with confidence.
mb PS. The change is bcs of a change in environmental laws. Otherwise, said a company person, they wouldn't have altered the formulation.
