Burberry Body Tender is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Michel Almairac. Body Tender opens with Lemon, Apple, Peach, and Wormwood, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, Rose, Jasmine, and Tea, and dries down to a base of Cashmere Wood, Musk, Amber, and Vanilla. Burberry's Body Tender carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This flanker is a divisive one: some find it a delightful, lighter take on the original Body; others find it too sharply green, even caustic. Most agree it's less 'tender' than its name implies, with a prominent wormwood note at its heart.

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 Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, clean, and often subtle sillage makes it great for office and casual wear. The polarizing wormwood note and, for some, poor longevity, make it less ideal for formal events or dates where a more universally appealing or long-lasting scent is often desired.

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

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • 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

Opening with a crisp burst of apple and lemon, swiftly joined by the aromatic bitterness of wormwood and a hint of sweet peach. The heart unfolds into a fresh rose and tea blend, warmed by jasmine and a subtle sandalwood. It settles into a base of soft cashmere wood and musk, with amber and vanilla lending a gentle, lingering sweetness.
