THE FRAGRANCE 

THE SCENT
The fragrance is very British and is the most sensual and feminine fragrance we have ever worked on. It’s sophisticated, it’s modern and it’s delicate. We wanted it to be light and feminine but also distinctive - something that appeals to women regardless of their age, it's more of an attitude. 

The effortlessly sensual notes of rose and iris combined with woody top notes create this iconic scent which is unmistakably British.
Christopher Bailey, Burberry Chief Creative Officer 

Burberry Body is a feminine and effortlessly sensual fragrance with an eclectic combination of refined ingredients 

Distinctive and iconic 

The scent has top notes of fresh green absinthe, illuminating elegant peach and refined freesia 

The floral bouquet of natural rose absolute and iris blends gently with subtle warm tones of sandalwood to form the heart notes 

Woody cashmeran, creamy vanilla, sensual amber and musk compose the base 

THE BOTTLE
“I often describe Burberry as a multi-faceted diamond and so it seemed completely natural that a fragrance that represents all of the different moods, attitudes and expressions of the brand is packaged in a jewel like shape. The colours reflect the sensual and emotive nature of the scent. I wanted the bottle to be desirable as an object, not only because of the scent. I am always inspired by architecture and I wanted to translate the sensuality of the fragrance using these gentle rose gold and nude filters into something iconic and distinctive''
