Description
A new Burberry fragrance expected on the market in September 2014 will be named MY BURBERRY, and it is inspired by the cult trench coat of the Burberry brand and a London garden after rain. It is announced as a very floral fragrance whose task is to enter the top 10 in the luxury arena of beauty! High aims of the Burberry brand are supported by the announcement that this will be one of the key editions in the fragrance collection of the house, but also that the largest collection on the occasion of a perfume launch so far is being prepared.
British charm is captured by the camera of Mario Testino who will take photos of Kate Moss and Cara Delevingne with the aim to transfer the British style of fragrance and to present the women it was aimed at.
Besides the challenge to convey the cult style of the Burberry trench coat, the freshness of a London shower and the scent of a rain-bathed garden, the wish of the Burberry brand head was to show skills in creation, tradition and creativity. Simona Cattaneo, senior vice-president of Burberry Beauty sector said the following: “Burberry trench is something very personal. You can wear it in several different ways, in different places and occasions. There is an emotional connection with trench, and we wanted to transfer it to the new fragrance,” adding that the new fragrance is composed of a floral bouquet with a modern twist and a pepper accent.
The composition of the new fragrance My Burberry opens with sweet peas and citrusy notes of bergamot leading to geranium, freesia flowers and golden quince in the heart. The fragrance is rounded up with patchouli in the base, joined with Damascus and Centifolia rose! The perfumer of the composition My Burberry is Francis Kurkdjian!
Kurkdjian said the fragrance was inspired “by London, an urban garden. You have the vibrancy of the city, so it is something contemporary. You have the garden. You have the flowers…and the art of gardening, which is very important for the British. The flowery aspect of the perfume comes from that idea of the garden after the rain. You have the lush wetness. You have the soil. You have the earthiness. All of these feelings.”
As for his choice of notes, he said he wanted to evoke “the feeling of the light of London: clouds, wetness, rain, flowers.” He said the main flowers are roses and freesia, “which is a little bit spicy and adds brightness. Then geranium leaves, which give an herbal, almost minty, vibrancy to the perfume. Then from the back note, there are patchouli leaves and quince—a fruit that is between a pear and an apple. Very British. It is not fruity, fruity. It is fruity floral. Then on top you have linen and bergamot,” he said.
The flacon of the new fragrance My Burberry is made of glass, with a stopper inspired by the button of a Burberry trench coat. The color is honey-beige, also taken from the cult trench. The neck of the bottle features a ribbon made of the same fabric as the Burberry trench from a factory in Castleford, Yorkshire. Perfume My Burberry will be available as 30, 50, 90 and 900 ml Eau de Parfum accompanied with perfumed body care products (240 ml shower oil, 100 ml body mist, 100 ml deodorant and 3 soaps set).

This is my second review of this beautiful scent. My bottle of EDP arrived today – on a warm, sunny autumn day, while the leaves are turning red and gold and while I was cutting quince in small pieces. And it was all an amazing experience! Quince is the dominant note in the perfume and in these circumstances, when my hands were almost drenched in the juice after over an hour of peeling and cutting it, with the warm wind coming in from outside my window, My Burberry just shone!
I’ll be sure to use it in the forthcoming besautiful day – to enjoy the autumn and the amazing sunny quince essence. Truly gorgeous perfume for this time of the year!
Deoxys – :
It’s much sweeter than I was expecting it to be. The concept was London gardens after rain, I don’t think that was wholly captured: it certainly doesn’t smell like my garden when I lived in London, or my neighbours! I expected it to be wetter smelling.
That being said, once the sweetness of the quince and peach in the opening dies down, its very much soft rose and earthy pathchouli – I can detect the theme of wet earth there, probably helped by the leather and then a floral freshness that must be the fressia. The passionfruit is quite noticeable, and on me its going quite skin-scenty and powdery quite quickly.
Overall I would say its a soft rose-dom floral with earthy facets and a sweet, fruity opening. Very pleasant for what it is, but doesn’t meet the mark as being very Londony to me.
EDIT: after wearing it for the past few days, the ‘wet garden’ aspect is more apparent. The sweetness needs to die down first though, then it very much is a slightly damp concrete/earth kind of vibe. Not wet enough for my tastes still, but lovely all the same!
decagon – :
It is a very delicate floral. According to the description the creator aimed for the scent of rain-bathed garden and I agree 100%. Smells like water, maybe rain and sweet flowers. It is very fresh, smooth and pretty. It is a strong like from me but not love. I think it is the kind of fragrance one can where anywhere to any occasion. Beautiful-yes, but not attention grabbing and I feel it lacks character. I don’t see myself buying a second bottle, but I will enjoy finishing the one I have. It does have a decent longevity and projection.

Gosh I love My Burberry so much! It’s become my signature after trying out a bunch of different samples over the last couple months. It’s complexity is addicting. Sweet, spicy, lasts all day and keeps changing. Fantastic!

Comment only based on final notes after 5 hours.
-Smells fresh and warm e.g. freshly baked vanilla cookie in metal tray with metallic smell

I’m a man who try My Burberry edp.
This is different from what I guess, My Burberry is a kind of fresh floral not warm or dense as I imagine. It open with fresh jasmine along with red rose and freshness scent make it feel like working woman who is active and confident also fashionista as well, after a half of hour it becomes more fresh and keep the floral as background just like a girl that just finished shower, so soapy and clean and dry down to ( a bit )warmer sweet like honey.
In my country (34c degree) it doesn’t cloying or harsh feeling and still light and fresh, so it would work in summer too.
This is a great fragrance for active woman, and make sure you keep confident when wearing this.
Scent 8.5/10 ( I love to smelling this scent on girl )
Project 8/10 ( About arm length )
Longevity 8/10 ( It can hide and seek with you for 6-10 hrs)
Today in my opinion all the girl usually wear the same boring scent as “Fruity/Sweetness” just like drug store cheapie cologne, in the man opinion it doesn’t make the girl sexy or attractive, my suggestions is wearing something ” Fresh Floral ” that make you look classy and clean you will stand out from other street girl, and we can smell you all the day without cloying feeling. Be different with My Burberry or Juliette has a gun- Lady Vengeance.
SEXY / ACTIVE / CONFIDENT

I wanted to write a new review for this scent because I feel that it is so terribly underrated. The bland/negative reviews kinda make me sad. For one, I think the vision of a foggy English garden misted with dew and walking among the rose bushes wearing a leather trench coat is spot on. I am not a huge fan of rose but the rose is not the star of this show for me. I actually get a very dominant leather note. I find it odd that nobody else does. But aside from the leather, I actually find freesia to be the prominent floral note. All of this on top of a delicious musty patchouli. I find My Burberry to be very classy and every day wearable, but not at all boring. It’s an amazing composition that is quite unique. I can’t list three or four other scents that smell just like it. Please give this one a chance guys, it’s a hidden gem.

I recdently took a trip to ulta to sniff a few of the fragrances I haven’t tried in awhile – or scout out any new ones. Burberry was a surprise for me! Out of all of the scents I tried – My Burberry was the most striking and appealing to me. So sweet in a warm, honey type of way – not sickly sweet, very inviting soft floral. Classy and easy to wear day or night. Sensual without being “sexy” I think. I like this one so much I plan to look up Francis Kurkdjian and see about trying more of his fragrances!
Dima7800 – :
My trusty old sniffer thinks that My Burberry is similar to Dior Pure Poison. The official pyramids are completely different, yet the overall olfactory impression is almost the same. Neither of them is something that I would be compelled to buy.
My Burberry is a typical sweet fruity-floral, with some soapy-clean and almost plasticky overtones. I’m averse to too many fruity notes in a fragrance – they always smell incredibly artificial to me. Here we have quince, peach, citruses, passion fruit and whatnot, plus loads of powdery florals and sweet patchouli. I’m sure that lots of people find this fragrance very enjoyable; alas it’s not for me.

At sensuous floral. Anything you wear while you have morning sickness you will never be able to wear again. I’ve lost many of my favorite perfumes to pregnancy
z0rfus – :
Although I love Burberry perfumes, this one did not sit well with me. I had it in two occasions-first when I was pregnant and it literally made me nauseous. So I thought “It must be the hormones!” and I passed it on to my Mum (she liked it big time). Then I got it as a gift well after I had a baby and the same thing happened-it is a beautiful, very long lasting, somewhat heavy perfume, but again, it made me sick, probably due to combination of roses (which I do not like) and freesia. So my Mum got a second bottle! On my skin it stays as a pungent, suffocating feromone-like smell.

Disclaimer: review after testing at store, I don’t own this. 🙂 I tried it once before and didn’t feel like I got a good enough handle on this scent (aka, it wasn’t super memorable) so I tested it again today.
There is something in the opening that is just not compatible with me. I can’t put my finger on it. It’s like it is too floral, almost screechy… not awful and I get the feel that it would smell good on someone else… it is probably the sweet pea (a note I just don’t care for and didn’t know was in this until right now). Maybe the citrus..? I kept smelling my wrist now and then after spraying and no, not for me. No loss, that is what testing is for, right?
Except… now, 3hrs later, I keep smelling my wrist. What was annoyingly floral has become soft and smooth. I sense rose. I sense something fruity and sweet. It is quite beautiful. If it smelled like this at first spray, I would consider purchasing it! As it is, I am not prepared to buy a fragrance I have to wait several hours to enjoy. I know, I know, lots of great ones are built this way but I don’t have enough planning in me to make that work..!
It does smell really nice now though…
I do have samples of My Burberry Blush and put it in my “like a lot” pile as well as My Burberry Black (also like a lot but reserved for night use as it is quite heavy on me). Will have to further test those!

There are so many notes, but the fragrance is hard to remember. Not touching at all.
Ilya01 – :
It is totally exact comparison with a lipstick smell in th reviews bellow. Mainly i get is quince and rose, but this fresh lipstick veil in combination with amazing longevity is a dream. I had a blotter left on the work table,all work place after few hours was still filled with adorable freshness.
RIP – :
I was wondering what makes this perfume different from other perfumes I know and at the same time similar to other Burberry creations… something smelling like liquid gold, fresh, spicy, juicy and sweet – and I guess I know – it’s the quince! I tested this beauty today and I’m sure to go for it at least once more – definitely worth trying! It’s a perfect autumn scent, warm but vibrant, rich but fresh, cozy but energetic, gold but not heavy… That’s how I feel about it. An amplified and enriched version of Burberry Body and Burberry Body Tendre. Amazing.

This is my favorite perfume & coco mad. I guess nothing cl
Could b more beautiful than ❤️
xer_s_gori – :
I love this perfume. On my skin it lasts for 8/9 hours, has heavy to moderate sillage for 3/4 hours. The scent is a citric rose (I don’t get any sweetpea, thank God !), a rose/yuzu accord that is crystaline,pure, very different from Chloe, which is a soapy rose, not very sweet but sweet enough (not like Tea Rose or Red Roses aromas that are very dark). My Burberry is uplifting, makes my day more beautiful, I love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Joimmidly – :
I wouldn’t at all recommend to just buy it blindly based on the notes or rave reviews. I love rose in fragrances and I hoped to buy a bottle of this today after testing in store. All I can say is: this is downright one-note on me, very flat, colorless, lifeless, and so boring (well I believe the ad with Moss and Delevigne reflects this scent quite well). Reminds me of Chloe EDP too much and doesn’t really stand out.
If you want to know how it smells like, imagine a rose after rain, but not that sensual essential oil rose smell, no! It is scent of just wet flower, petals and green leaves. It has been done a thousand times before and will be done a thousand times after this.
For this price – no thank you. Even Chloe is better and has a lower price point.
For a more interesting rose I’d suggest trying on Lady Emblem by Montblanc.
ChloieMole21 – :
OMG, if you are looking for a review to find out if you should buy it or not – JUST GO FOR IT. It is a perfect smell for a modern classy chick. I adored this although the bottle is so bulky it was hard t put it in my bag any day and it is incredibly heavy as well. But Over all Just Perfection!
Lushar – :
It was the second time I sampled this luscious floral fragrance that I fell in love with it! Always good to give a scent more than one try. Now I really appreciate how beautifully My Burberry EDP is composed. It opens with sweet floral petals blended with the prefect touch of citrus to keep it balanced. But my favorite layer of this rich scent is the heart. The white freesia opens with a soft sweetness that reminds me of lychee. It has to be the passion fruit with quince that smells a lot like lychee on my skin. Then the rich rose, geranium with green notes remind me of a walk through a blooming garden after a gentle rain. On my skin this fragrance is floral without being too sweet, and the citrus notes in top remain throughout each layer keeping it very fresh. My Burberry really opens slowly allowing each layer to linger and be enhanced by the next. I have to say, I sprayed it in the morning a by mid-afternoon I could still smell the floral and greens in heart coming through. Finally, after about five hours I could detect the leather in the base–very gently and very softly. Leather can sometimes smell synthetic, but the rose and amber blended in the base really help to keep this note soft. My Burberry is romantic but modern and sexy but composed. A perfect blended balance of everything I love in a fragrance. So glad I discovered this lovely scent and think it will stay in my collection as a year-round favorite!!

The ‘garden after the rain’ promo text is really well fitting for My Burberry EDP.
It has a very lush, wet feel, almost syrupy in texture, but not in sweetness, if that makes any sense. It’s also very floral, I can really smell the sweet pea, rose, geranium and freesia notes. The rose is a fresh and dewy one, not soapy or powdery and definitely no dry and dusty potpourri rose. I get something fruity, too, but I’m not sure if it’s quince. To be honest I don’t have a lot of experience with quince in general. The fruit in this smells like a mix of ripe peach and something more tart and tangy. Maybe it’s a very ripe quince?
Patchouli is a good counterpart to the florals here. It gives a hint of sharpness and earthiness, but it’s not too pronounced.
I like this fragrance surprisingly well. A blend consisting mainly of different florals without any white flowers doesn’t sound particularly interesting to me, those often smell a bit random and undefined to me. So it took me a while to even try this on my skin – but I’m happy I did, it’s great!
To me this is something I’d like to wear on rainy spring, summer and early autumn days, and maybe even as an alternative to warmer and sweeter perfumes in winter. Kind of a floral allrounder that also performs really well on my skin.
PS: What’s up with the huge note list on here? I think this has less notes officially.
ebd956Bessinepome – :
I’ve grown to love this, it smells like a fancy body product or something, maybe body wash? It’s very strong, my friend yelled at me when I picked her up to go to dinner that the car reeked, LOL. The only Burberry I like, all the others have some prominent note that I don’t like, it might be the peach. I find it mature but not “old-lady”, even though I hate that term.
OnlineGameNew – :
I have my burberry black and I like it so I was open to the idea of recieving original my burberry in swap.I’m usually not in my floral mood during fall and winter but it has a lot of very positive reviews and an intresting pyramid so I was expecting to like it but it was a huge dissapointment for me!I felt it’s too light,a watery floral fruity.though I agreed it smells like nothing else,still it felt dull and boring
Usually in this cases I put the perfume which has dissapointed me in a dark corner of my wardrobe and go for it after couple of months to give it other chances but about my burberry I acted differently.I tried it every single day since I recieved it as if it was a puzzle and needed to be solved and finally,after about a week,I’m starting to appreciate it more
My burberry is not a linear fragrance and it’s as complex as it’s numerous notes suggest.so now I have to confess that it’s far from boring.it’s first phase is lovely.if it stayed like that we wouldn’t face a problem and I could like it as a simple,pretty fruity floral.it’s opening phase is sweet.not sugary or surapy sweet,it has fruity sweetness.I’m happy that I can’t pickup much citruses.it’s all about quince,sweetpea and rose on my skin.quince is one of the rare fall fruits which I like and eat a lot and here,they’ve done it very well.but this delightful scent of quince and sweet,colorful flowers doesn’t last long and something ruins it for me:patchouli
First I blamed leather and violet because I could detect something like what ruined miss boucheron’s drydown but now,after a week of trying,I can see that it’s patchouli which takes away sweetness and covers quince and florals.I can see that a lot of people like the musty vibe it gives to scent.yes it makes my burberry non-sweet,more adult and better suited for fall but I can tolerate patchouli,just when it’s followed by a syrupy,intense sweetness and it’s not the case here.so it’s first phase is a big yes for me,while it’s middle phase is a big no.things change to better as it dries down.patchouli calms down and lets florals to showup a bit.freesia,musk and a light patchouli are what I can detect the most in it’s drydown and there’s a far whisper of sparkly flowers and fruits of the opening which I sometimes can feel.drydown is good.I can’t say that I like it a lot but I don’t dislike it either
Now after a week of trying I can see that my burberry is not for me,you can’t win all and I have to stick to brit edp and london as MY burberrys.I’m glad that I gave it time,now I can see why it’s loved by so many people.it has it’s own character but doesn’t try to be strange or extraordinary.it’s refined without being old and is very easy to wear,it has freshness without being citrusy or summery and it has some sort of calmness
I need a fragrance to be way more floral to see it as a garden scent but I can see why people call it a garden after rain scent,I can feel it’s wet soil thing too
Unlike my first thoughts I don’t find it watery and weak anymore.it lasts long enough,sillage seems to be soft to moderate but people around seem to notice it.so it has acceptable sillage while being inoffensive
I don’t think I will wear it much but I may like it more in future

Quando senti essa fragrância, foi amor a primeira borrifada, não tive dúvidas que precisava dele. Embora ame o London, o My burberry e meu 2º preferido da casa, que realmente consegue imprimir muita elegância em sua fragrâncias, neste eu sinto um doce mas sem o cítrico do London, se no London vejo uma mulher alta de casaco inglês, aqui vejo uma mulher com um vestido muito elegante e preto, salto alto, jóias discretas mas muito elegantes, um batom vermelho, um ar de mistério. Adoro!!
When I felt this fragrance, it was love the first spray, I had no doubt I needed it. Although I love London, my burberry and my 2nd favorite of the house, they really manage to print a lot of elegance in their fragrances, in this I feel sweet but without the citrus from London, if in London I see a tall woman in an English coat, I see an woman with a dressed very elegant and black, high shoes, discreet but very elegant jewelry, a red lipstick, an air of mystery. Love!!
KINGsize94 – :
Did I read this correctly???
There is 900 ml of this perfume available.
Almost one Liter????
Do they want us to drink this?
kosty58 – :
Gorgeous. Reserved. Classic.
The first time I sampled this, I was not impressed. Today, I walked out of the store with 90ml! While I will need to live with My Burberry for a few days, the hours I have been wearing it have been pleasurable.
My Burberry is a beautiful floral, sheer but rich, in a way that seems like a contradiction but works. On my skin, the lovely, cold top notes last about an hour before fading into the rich, woodsy mid-notes. The quince and lime are most noticeable on me in the mid-notes. By hour four, it is the typical woody drydown that my skin seems to enhance in Burberry perfumes.
At this point, on this cooler, cloudy day, I am not smelling patchouli or spices. If you’ve smelled Burberry London, you have an idea of the direction My Burberry goes, but My Burberry is less tart, more floral, better blended, and overall a little more in the “classical” perfume sense.
I agree that this works best in cooler weather. While I was not impressed back in the summer, I find it charming and delightful now. Projection is fantastic for about three hours, gradually tapering off to right above my arm. Sillage is also grand; my son said he could smell my perfume after I left the room.
My Burberry is not ground breaking, or challenging, or filled with highly unusual notes (although I think this is the only quince perfume I own) but it is so well done. The quality is evident, it does not smell like a rush job, it is perfect for what it is.
Pichhandzze – :
I bought this perfume after reading a lot of reviews because of the big price tag associated with it and I am glad that I did. This perfume makes me smell classy, sophiosticated and sexy. It has this rosy sweetness yet musky elusiveness in it which makes you smell like a mysterious lady.
An evening gown, dusky eyes and 2 whiffs of My Burberry is all you need to turn evenings romantic. I would highly recommend it as a wedding perfume as it is definitely a keepsake.
The bottle is a beauty in itself and that rich smell can linger on clothes for days…specially woolens and silks.
морик – :
i consider this scent a sharp floral scent with a dash of spice 🙂 on me i get citrus….spice…& rose…..i do like it so far but its just a neutral scent to me………it is a bit strong though so watch how many sprays lol 🙂
***update*** after having this on for a few hours -4 plus hours ….well its going in my dislikes 🙁 unfortunately it was not a good dry down………….smells very alcohol ‘y & has a weird medicine or chemical smell with the drydown………….. BUT on a good note my burberry black is awesome……..very rich & creamy 🙂
cristina0509 – :
This scent could be an everyday staple for crisp,wet,cold,rainy fall and winter days. That’s a floral bomb, very powerful and potent. If you don’t like florals, you probably don’t like it. Spray with moderation as it can be suffocating. A little amount of 1-2 sprays is more thn enough. It’s also a very chic perfume, very suitable for meetings, job interviews, office, formal events. Neither sexy nor daring. Just chic, feminine, floral and aristocratic. I imagine a rich woman with a nude or grey cardigan wearing boots and holding a big umbrella walking down the wet streets of london after rainstorm, and next to her there are gardens with wet soil and flowers. For me, amazing sillage and performance and very cute bottle.
mpfm – :
A cheerful fragrance full of charme. It’s a particular one because it’s perfect for an everyday wear but in the same time this is a fragrance absolutely perfect for important occasions (marriages, job events, meetings). This is a floral perfume but it’s much more of this. Ther is a certain sweetness and a comfort roundness about it. For me it’s addictive! After the first spriz I really can feel the sensation of a wet garden after rain in London… but after this step, the fragrance become warmer. I really love the final fase. For me it’s a chic and feminine fragrance and I feel very classy and confident while I’m wearing it.
olya25 – :
My Burberry is so… British. Not sexy, but absolutely feminine. It is strong and overpowering but at the same time keeps a distance. Totally floral, it really evokes a picture of well maintained garden after rain, the aroma of the flowers floating in the wet air.
For this reason I can use it only in the gray autumn days when it just feels.. right, I guess.
Good staying power, but has to be applied light-handed or flowers may suffocate you.
One of a kind and a nice addition to my collection.
viprm13 – :
I really love the opening of this scent however this just doesn’t last on my skin.
myf895JeomiWogkig – :
Unmistakably a Burberry blend: mature, unconventional, and tangy. I find it too fruity, too floral, too sweet, too sour, and too spicy. It has too much of everything, making it bold, too perfumey, closer to classic perfumes, and better for fall and winter.
This is probably not safe for blind buying, and may not be a safe choice to gift away unless having a good reason.
Vitalym – :
sweet and floral. it’s not a perfume to blind buy but quite attractive. I’m more to a gentle, soft scent but sometimes I feel attracted to this. Like asking you to go “girl, don’t be shy, you can do it.” perfect for cold weathers but I wont dare to use on a hot day.
outrathinvart – :
This is my current signature scent and I find this a true masterpiece. It’s a perfectly balanced floral with some sweet notes. Also long lasting. Another Francis Kurkdjian masterpiece. However, I find it a little mature and I think my younger self would not like it (I’m 31 years old)
Vadic_gotic – :
This is SO good. SO GOOD. I received a tester of this in a bag after I purchased a different scent (Givenchy Very Irresistible) and put it in my purse for the days I forget to wear any fragrance.
Pulled it out one day when I had a two hour commute to a different office and wanted something to sniff on while I was mindlessly driving. WOW. This is fresh and creamy. Like freshly washed skin sweetened with soft, white florals. I purchased a full bottle the very next day.
Wearing this today, I’m still in awe of how well it suits me. I close my eyes, sniff my wrist and imagine myself in a my favorite PJs, freshly lotioned and slipping into my bed in the spring or summer. We use silk sheets when it’s warm outside, and this perfume blossoms in the heat. 100ml may not be enough for the amount of love I feel here. I need more!
The_CooN – :
Definitely a gorgeous floral. One of the most beautiful, glorious floral openings I have ever smelled. Plus, has a multi flower and ingredients approach- so specific to the 90 es, still, is a very classic perfume. But noone will ever surpass the best floral ever created- Bvulgari pour femme. Every time i smell this one, it’s just unbelievable feminine, light and intense. I’ll stay with this one when craving for flowers.
RMN81 – :
My Burberry is the perfect rose scent that I didn’t know I wanted until I had it. My Burberry smells very expensive and sometimes you just want to smell expensive! I love to smell uncut roses on the bush. I bury my face in the rose and drink in the scent. This is the only perfume I’ve found that gives me the same luxurious sensation of smelling a most perfect rose. There’s definitely the element of rain on rose petals that prevents My Burberry from being too heady and heavy. The sweetpea is also very pretty but doesn’t spoil the rose. Truly a beautiful perfume for those who love roses and heady, perfect floral scents.
надежда1964 – :
Gmstrack’s review was spot on. This is a bit generic but does scream designer perfume (well blended and doesn’t turn into a soapy/chemical mess after a few hours of wear). Normally, I would just throw a like to this kind of generic florals but this is so refined and beautiful that it borders on a love for me. After all, it’s hard to do something original with florals as the industry has been tapping into the genre way before the other types of fragrances. This one does the trick in terms of elegance and quality though. I really do not get all the hate. Would you hate on a perfume solely for lacking originality? So much negativity out there.
JASTREBKILL – :
Burberry fragrances and I seem to get along quite well. I consider them all to be very classic, chic and elegant. My Burberry is fast becoming one of my favourites from this brand.
My Burberry is a tart floral on my skin with bold notes of rose, geranium, quince and sweet pea. It’s a grown-up scent in lots of ways and is definitely not for the faint of heart. The rather intense throw that this fragrance emits is possibly the reason why it has received so many dislikes on this forum. A few spritzes really goes a long way.
I adore the scent of roses, especially when it smells jammy and rich. My Burberry is a rich, heady rose fragrance in lots of ways, however the rosiness has been tamed by the somewhat sour quince accord and other heavy floral notes such as the geranium and freesia. It’s a slightly better rose scent than Burberry Body.
My Burberry is a cold weather scent in my opinion. If I owned a bottle of this fragrance I would either wear it to the office paired with my corporate attire or whilst out shopping with friends or my fiancé.
I am keen to test this fragrance a little more over the coming Winter months so that My Burberry and I can become better acquainted with one another. I am confident that My Burberry will one day make its way into my collection.

Out of all the perfumes that I have, this one brings back the most memories for me. My Burberry smells like my first semester in law school.
This is such a unique scent, I’ve never smelled anything like it before and I don’t understand why some people hate it so much. It really does smell like a garden after the rain. It’s a realistic smell of wet flowers and wet grass. I am normally not a big fan of florals but this is an exception. I love this perfume, I am not sure if I would buy it again because I am constantly looking for something new but this is for sure a special one for me. I will keep the bottle when I run out of it because as I said before, smelling it brings back so many memories.

I recently received a sample of My Burberry by Burberry from the local Macy’s, stuffed it in my bag, and promptly forgot about it. To be honest, I was not that excited to try it and figured that I would save it for a rainy day when I had nothing better to do. Anyway, when I finally did get around to trying it on, I was pleasantly surprised and regretted not doing so earlier. The fruity, acidic opening quickly transitions to a green, fruity-floral.
