A Review on Burberry Fragrances

June 24th, 2009

Burberry fragrances are inspired by the classic and elegant image of the Burberry apparel. Each scent breathes an invigorating radiance. It’s crisp, urbane, dynamic and naturally fresh. The Burberry brand evokes an exquisite level of panache that sets itself apart from the multitude of fragrances in the perfume market. The exclusive black, red and white pattern also known as the Haymarket check or Burberry check is one of the most copied labels in the fashion industry today.

The luxury fashion house was founded by British designer Thomas Burberry in 1856. Starting off as a single shop in Haymarket, London, the company has achieved unparalleled success in fashion clothing, perfumes and accessories. 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. In the years that followed, more fragrances were introduced in the perfume world. The latest addition to the Burberry fragrance line are Burberry Summerf Men and Burberry Summer Women.

Here are some of the best-selling perfumes from the Burberry fragrance collection::

Burberry Brit
The fragrance is a creative blend of the classic and the dynamic lifestyle of modern living. The Burberry Brit contains Italian lime, icy pear, green almond, white peony, sugared almonds, amber, mahogany, vanilla and Tonka bean. The fragrance was launched in 2003 by perfume designer Natalie Gracia-Cetto.

Burberry Brit Red
Another masterpiece by Natalie Gracia-Cetto, the Burberry Brit Red fragrance exudes  a more edgy attitude. It’s provocative, more scintillating. 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 Cologne for Men
