Burberry The Beat

Tea, iris and cardamom. The Beat is one of Burberry’s more unusual women’s scents, dry and fresh instead of sweet.

The opening mixes bergamot and mandarin, with pink pepper for spice. Cardamom and the tea note give it a cool, aromatic character. Bluebell adds a light floral touch, while iris brings a soft, powdery smoothness.

Cedar, vetiver and white musk keep the base clean and dry.

It’s the kind of scent people pick when fruity and gourmand perfumes feel too much. Workdays, city errands and early evenings all suit it.

The Eau de Parfum comes in a single 2.5 oz size and is out of stock right now.

Until it returns, Burberry Weekend offers iris over soft woods, and Bvlgari Omnia Coral is another fresh, light option. More Burberry.
