Burberry Body is a 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 Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a divisive affair. For some, it's elegant, clean, and confident; for others, it's a headache in a bottle with a synthetic, cloying rose. Best to try before you buy, as skin chemistry plays a huge role here.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter
Also Works:
Summer

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

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its moderate to strong projection means it needs light application for the office, but its sophisticated floral-woody character makes it ideal for dates and casual wear. The warmth of the base notes leans less formal, and it's definitely not for sport.

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 Parfum opens with a juicy burst of peach, softened by freesia and a hint of intriguing wormwood. As it settles, a classic rose and iris heart emerges, resting on a sophisticated base of creamy sandalwood, cashmere wood, amber, and a clean, powdery musk. It's an elegant blend that walks a line between fruity freshness and a warm, woody embrace.
