Burberry My Burberry Black is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Francis Kurkdjian. My Burberry Black opens with Jasmine, settles into a heart of Rose and Peach, and dries down to a base of Amber and Patchouli. Burberry's My Burberry Black carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This one's a proper statement maker for cold weather, a plush, peachy powerhouse that's adored by many but can be divisive. If you love a rich fruitchouli with beastly performance, you'll be hooked. If not, prepare for a syrupy, soapy onslaught.

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.

About

My Burberry Black opens with a rich, jammy jasmine, quickly joined by a succulent, almost candied peach and a deep, velvety rose. The heart settles into a warm, inviting amber, underpinned by an earthy, sensual patchouli that offers surprising depth without being overtly dirty or aggressive. It's a sweet, dark floral that wraps you in a cosy, confident embrace.
