Burberry London

Honeysuckle and jasmine carry Burberry London, a rich, warm floral from 2006.

Clementine gives a quick burst of brightness at the start. Then comes the bouquet: honeysuckle, which smells sweet and nectar-like, jasmine, rose, a creamy tiare flower and airy peony. Underneath, sandalwood, musk and patchouli add warmth and a slightly earthy depth.

How does it feel on the skin? Generous and smooth. It’s floral first, but the woods make it feel grown-up rather than sweet.

When to wear it? Autumn and winter days, theater outings, dinners, and any time a fuller floral feels right.

Bottles go from 1.0 oz and 1.7 oz up to 3.3 oz, Eau de Parfum throughout.

A fruitier choice from Burberry is Burberry Touch. For another honeyed white-flower scent, look at J’adore. Visit Burberry or our full women’s perfume collection.
