Burberry Body is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Michel Almairac. Body opens with Freesia, Peach, and Wormwood, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, Rose, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Musk, Amber, and Vanilla. Burberry's Body carries a Favourite verdict, a powdery-led wear.

Burberry Body is a divisive one, blending a classic powdery rose with an unexpected wormwood edge. Some find it elegant and comforting, a clean skin-scent, while others are met with a medicinal funk or generic 'old lady' vibe. Not a safe blind buy, but a treasure if it works with your chemistry.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Office Formal

Its moderate sillage and powdery, clean character make it acceptable for office wear, though some find it too strong. It's often described as 'intimate' or 'after sex', lending itself well to dates and casual wear. Not ideal for formal events due to its soft nature, or sport due to its warmth and potential for becoming cloying.

About

It opens with a punch of bitter wormwood and sweet peach, quickly giving way to a heart of classic rose and refined iris, underpinned by the creamy warmth of sandalwood. The dry down is a soft, enveloping cloud of musk, amber, and vanilla, with a distinct cashmere wood embrace, leaving a powdery, sensual trail.
