Burberry Body is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2012, created by Michel Almairac. Body opens with Apple, Peach, and Wormwood, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, Rose, and Tea, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Musk, Amber, and Vanilla. Burberry's Body carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This isn't a showstopper, just a reliably lovely, clean skin scent. It's often compared favourably to its stronger EDP sibling for being lighter and more versatile, but its quiet nature also means some find it barely there.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Burberry Body EDT opens with a crisp, green apple and juicy peach, softened by a hint of bitter wormwood. The heart unfolds into a delicate, modern rose grounded by earthy tea and creamy sandalwood. It settles into a comforting base of cashmere wood and soft musk, with just a whisper of warm amber and vanilla, evoking the scent of freshly lotioned skin.
