Mr. Burberry
Mr. Burberry by Burberry is a masculine-leaning eau de toilette from 2016 in the designer price tier. It opens with grapefruit and cardamom, moves into birch, nutmeg and lavender and dries down to vetiver, guaiac wood, sandalwood and amber. Expect around 6 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Grapefruit Bitter, slightly sweaty citrus. More grown-up than lemon.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
Heart
- Birch Clean pale wood. The leaves, not the tar.
- Nutmeg Warm, woody and slightly sweet. Cosy without being gourmand.
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
Dry-down
- Vetiver Dry, earthy, smoky grass root. Smells like soil and citrus peel.
- Guaiac Wood Smoky, tarry and slightly sweet. Like a bonfire and roses.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
