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
Also Works:
Summer

Bright citrus and herbal notes make this ideal for spring and early autumn, while its woody base provides enough depth for cooler days. It is less suited for winter where heavier, richer scents prevail, and may be too dense for the hottest summer days.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Its moderate projection and fresh-woody character make it perfect for office and casual use, while the refined aromatic profile works for low-key dates. Not bold enough for formal evenings or athletic freshness.

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

  • Eugenol from Nutmeg
  • Oakmoss Evernia prunastri extract from Oakmoss

Other declarable allergens

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

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

Mr. Burberry Eau de Toilette opens with a burst of sharp grapefruit and spicy cardamom, quickly joined by aromatic tarragon and a touch of mint. A heart of dry cedar and green birch leaf keeps the scent bracing and crisp, while nutmeg and lavender add subtle warmth. In the base, sandalwood and guaiac wood pair with smoky vetiver and a thread of mossy amberwood, anchoring the fragrance in classic woody elegance. The overall effect is fresh yet quietly robust: city-sleek, subtly green, and distinctly masculine.
