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.

There are over twenty Burberry perfumes today and most certainly, there’s always a Burberry fragrance to match your every mood and lifestyle.

Enhance Your Glamour with Perfumes

Want to make a fashion statement? And enhance your glamour? Then, along with wearing fashionable clothes it is important to use a good perfume. Nice clothes and a fine perfume is a deadly combination that can attract many people when you are partying or make it a pleasure for others to talk to you when you are at work. Men should use strong, musky perfumes to reflect their personality and charm. Women should use more subtle perfumes that reflect her character and femininity.

A number of fragrances are available for you to select from. You need to try the perfume at the shop and select the flavor that you like. You never know what kind of perfume will suit you unless you try it out. There are fruity, floral, greens, woody, oriental fragrances that are available. To test a perfume, it is good to go the perfume shop in the morning when your skin is fresh as the perfume reacts with the oils in the skin and emits the unique scent which can become your signature scent. You can try the armani mania for men and you would love it. It is one of the popular perfumes.

Have you ever observed that a perfume when it is first sprayed gives a scent that change over a period of time? This is because of the notes in the perfume. Each perfume will have three notes, so called, top, middle and bottom. The scent of the top notes is observed immediately after a perfume is sprayed. And over a period of time, the middle and bottom notes come out. And this is the reason you should wait for sufficient amount of time before you decide that a scent of a perfume is good and then only go for a purchase.

You should be really careful in choosing a perfume and how you use your perfumes. If you have 2 fabulous perfumes, then do not think that mixing these two perfumes will bring out a scent that is also fabulous. Sometimes, the mixture brings out a dull and disastrous scent. So, do not try all that is shown on TV and mix two or more fragrances. Use your judgment and go for the scent that suites you and does not make others run away from you.
