My Burberry
Ninety millilitres is a size for someone who has already settled on a daily scent, and Burberry My Burberry Eau de Parfum 90ml is exactly that kind of fragrance: well mannered, English in character, and easy to wear in almost any circumstance.
The composition is a bouquet with an unusual centre. Sweet pea leads, and it is a light, slightly green, mildly sweet flower, the sort of thing that smells of a garden rather than a perfume counter. Rose gives it structure and a familiar depth, freesia adds a clean peppery sparkle, and geranium brings a green and faintly metallic edge that stops the arrangement from turning sugary. Bergamot supplies the brightness at the start, bitter and crisp, and then patchouli takes care of the end. It is earthy, a little inky and slightly damp, and it is the reason the scent lasts rather than evaporating the way light florals often do. Six materials, all working toward the same understated effect.
Francis Kurkdjian is the perfumer and 2014 the launch year. Eau de parfum strength gives it hours of quiet presence without much projection, so it is comfortable in offices, restaurants and other people's cars, and two sprays are enough to cover a day. Spring and autumn show it at its best, and it reads as feminine, tidy and unshowy rather than memorable, which is exactly what a daily scent should be.
A bottle this size is also the better value per spray if you wear it regularly. Burberry is British, dates from 1856, and is known above all for coats and for the trench, with the check following it into worldwide recognition. Its fragrances are the work of licensed manufacturers rather than of the company itself.
