Burberry Wild Thistle is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Francis Kurkdjian. Wild Thistle opens with Green Notes and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Geranium, Lily of the Valley, and Galbanum, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes. Burberry's Wild Thistle carries an Acquired verdict, a green-led wear.

Wild Thistle is a green, floral Eau de Parfum that feels like a walk across open moorland. It is crisp and a little austere, which makes it a good unisex pick for fans of sharp, natural scents.

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.

About

Wild Thistle opens with aldehydes and green notes, a crisp and slightly soapy lift. The heart combines jasmine, lily of the valley, galbanum and geranium, a sharp green floral with a clean edge. Woody notes sit in the base and give it a dry, quiet backbone. It is a fresh and natural scent with a cool, refined mood, and it suits daytime and spring or autumn walks.
