Burberry Brit Red is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2004, created by Nathalie Gracia-Cetto. Brit Red opens with Rhubarb, Mandarin, and Jasmine, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Rose, and Ginger, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Vanilla, and Benzoin. Burberry's Brit Red carries a Statement verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This discontinued gem is a festive, unique, and polarising treat. Expect a bold, tart rhubarb opening that either delights or divides, mellowing into a sweet, spicy vanilla that evokes warm, cozy Christmas memories for its fervent fans.

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.

Its strong projection and gourmand notes make it quite present, pushing it away from office wear. However, its warming sweetness and sophisticated oriental character lend themselves well to evening dates and formal events, particularly in colder weather.

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.

About

Brit Red opens with a sharp, tangy burst of rhubarb and bright mandarin, quickly joined by a hint of aromatic ginger that adds a piquant warmth. As it settles, a sweet and creamy vanilla takes centre stage, underpinned by a soft rose and grounding base of benzoin and sandalwood, leaving a sophisticated gourmand trail.
