Burberry Garden Roses is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Francis Kurkdjian. Garden Roses opens with Bergamot, Lemon, and Grapefruit, settles into a heart of Green Notes, Rose, Lily of the Valley, and Apple, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, and Clean Musk. Burberry's Garden Roses carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A fresh, clean rose that's a bit of a chameleon, starting with a citrus punch and settling into a cosy, musky floral. While some find it a touch generic, others rave about its realistic, bright rose. It's well-loved for its impressive performance.

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 summer and spring.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its long-lasting nature and strong sillage mean it projects well without being cloying, making it suitable for casual wear and dates. While it leans towards being a good daytime scent, its pronounced performance might be a bit much for a formal setting or an office if oversprayed.

About

Opening with a zesty burst of bergamot, lemon, and grapefruit, Garden Roses quickly transitions from an invigorating citrus start to a verdant heart. Here, a prominent, realistic rose note is complemented by crisp green notes, a hint of tart blackcurrant, and the fresh sweetness of apple. As it dries down, a sophisticated blend of clean musk, earthy vetiver, and warm cedar emerges, providing a comforting, long-lasting base that rounds out the bright florals.
