In 2018 the Burberry man is young, ambitious and independent. He's not bogged down by ‘second best’ careers; he’s a contemporary man with his sights set on making his mark on the world. It is precisely this sense of freedom and self-confidence that perfumer Francis Kurkdjian has captured in 'Mr. Burberry' launched in 2016.

Mr Burberry is a woody fougere, but theres nothing stuffy or conservative about it. It has a sensational aromatic, herbal twist that renders it sharp and modern, whilst still remaining distinctly British. Opening accords that strut across the skin are citrus, cardamom and tarragon; bright and green off the bat. These are followed closely by nutmeg and cedar, which lend a comforting warmth, over a vetiver / sandalwood foundation. It’s olfactory temperature dallies between warm and cool, rendering it something of a shape shifter that fits in to day or evening wear, for both summer or winter!

With mixed measures of both refinement and swagger, Mr. Burberry is a well-executed masculine for the modern man. It tends to stay close to the skin in the eau de toilette (capable of drawing others in), but is also available in an eau de perfume which projects significantly. Stylish and to-the-minute, Mr. Burberry doesn’t disappoint!

Burberry Brit for Women

Burberry Brit was released in 2003 and has earned much praise since its been on the market. A versatile scent that has a nice balance of notes that comes together in a light, and wearable gourmand fragrance. The opening has lime and green almond that works beautifully with the vanilla, amber, and tonka in the base. With a heart of peony and sugared almonds it exudes an effervescent sweetness.

Burberry Brit opens on the skin sparkling and sweet, with a nice crispness that helps balance out the journey to the dry down. When the fragrance dries down you lose some of the lime but it transforms into a sheer sweet almond fragrance with some cedar-like undernotes that play beautifully with the peony. These delicious gourmand elements work with the warmth of the base that creates a lovely scent on the skin that is sweet and substantial but doesnt become overbearing or to heavy. A perfect fragrance for gourmand lovers in the spring and summertime. It is a wearable beauty that is also appropriate for professional settings as well. A great addition to anyones collection.
