A Review on Burberry Fragrances
Burberry fragrances are inspired by the classic and elegant image of the Burberry apparel. Each scent radiates a unique pulsating energy. It’s straightforward, modern, fresh and full of life. Burberry creates an image of timeless legacy and upholds quality par excellance. The black, red and white plaid design a.k.a. the Haymarket check is one of the most imitated brands in the industry today.
The luxury fashion house was founded by British designer Thomas Burberry in 1856. What started as a single shop in Haymarket, London, now the company is one of the most elite names in haute couture, fragrances and accessory collections. The British Royal Familiy granted Burberry the prized Royal Warrants award.
The first Burberry perfume, Burberry Men, was introduced in 1995. After its successful debut, women’s fragrances followed: Burberry Touch Perfume for Women, Burberry Weekend and Burberry Tender Touch. More fragrances were released in the years thereafter. The most recent perfumes to join the group are Burberry Summer Men and Burberry Summer Women.
Here are some of the top-selling perfumes from the Burberry perfume collection:
Burberry Brit
The fragrance is a playful mix of the classic and the upbeat rhythm of modern lifestyle. The Burberry Brit contains Italian lime, icy pear, green almond, white peony, sugared almonds, amber, mahogany, vanilla and Tonka bean. The fragrance was introduced in 2008 and was created by perfume designer Natalie Gracia-Cetto.
Burberry Brit Red
Another creation by perfumer Natalie Gracia-Cetto, Burberry Brit Red explores the more edgy character. It’s sensual, more elegant. The top notes include fresh jasmine, mandarin and rhubarb. The heart boasts the intensity of red rose, gingerbread and patchouli, while the base is made of benzoin, sandalwood, and vanilla bean.
Burberry Perfume for Women
A refreshing scent coupled with a familiar warmth, Burberry Perfume for Women combines the fruity accords of peach, apricot and marigold. The heart features black currant, sandalwood and cedar and the base captures the comely scent of jasmine, vanilla and musk. Perfume users tout it as a comforting scent especially during winter season.
Burberry Cologne for Men
Burberry Men is dominated by wood accords such as sandalwood, jasmine and cedar. Musk and vanilla accords caps off the base notes. It’s the classic masculine scent: citrusy sweet at first then woody in the dry down. Sillage is good; longevity is more than average. This cologne is perfect for daytime.
Burberry Touch for Women
Burberry Touch for Women combines rose oil, jasmine, tuberose, vanilla and cedar wood. The fragrance is light and chic with fruity and floral notes.
Burberry Touch for Men
Burberry Touch for Men is a fusion of sharp florals and deep woody notes of violet leaf. It marries mandarin, oak moss, vetiver, white musk and Tonka bean. Perfume designer Jean-Pierre Bethouart created this fragrance in 2000. It’s a free-spirited, natural fragrance that gets better with time.
