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.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • 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's Her Elixir captures a blend of vibrant floral and succulent fruity notes enriched by the warmth of amber and vanilla. Red fruits and mandarin carry the opening, peony and jasmine hold the centre, and sandalwood with musk keeps the vanilla from turning cloying. A balance of freshness and softness that suits both day and evening, it sits close to the skin rather than filling a room.
