Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - My Burberry Black EDP
This one's a proper statement maker for cold weather, a plush, peachy powerhouse that's adored by many but can be divisive. If you love a rich fruitchouli with beastly performance, you'll be hooked. If not, prepare for a syrupy, soapy onslaught.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Charlie Red EDT
Charlie Red is a quintessential 90s powerhouse floral that divides opinion. It's either an expensive-smelling, timeless classic or a screechy, dated air freshener. Love it or hate it, its strong performance and nostalgic charm are undeniable.

Season and Occasion Fit

My Burberry Black

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

Its potent projection and longevity mean it's too much for office wear, but perfect for making an impact on dates or at formal events. Reviewers consistently highlight its 'beast mode' performance and suitability for evenings and colder months.

Charlie Red

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Occasions

Best For:
Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its potent projection and longevity make it less suitable for the office, but perfect for casual wear, especially for a bit of 90s nostalgia or making a statement. While some find it too 'loud' for formal events, its classic floral profile could work for certain occasions, and it's certainly not a sport scent.
