Burberry London perfume is one of many fragrances that Burberry produces. This perfume is designed to symbolise the lifestyle in the busy city of London according to the website. The famous faces which promoted this new scent were Rachel Weisz for the female fragrance and Ioan Gruffudd for the male scent. Burberry London was released in 2006.




Packaging


The Burberry London bottle is very sophisticated for a perfume bottle; it has a piece of the famous Burberry design which is tartan in cloth material wrapped around the main section of the bottle, leaving the top uncovered. The only problem with this design is that you are unable to see how much of the scent is left, but the advantage is that the perfume is protected from sunlight (which apparently can make perfume go off) The lid is silver and in the shape of a square which also looks very sophisticated.


Price


A 30 ml bottle of Burberry London will cost you around 26, a 50ml bottle will cost around 37 and a 100ml bottle will set you back around 52 but these prices are shop prices and this perfume can be found much cheaper on websites such as www.tuccini.com


What Does It Smell Like?


According to the website, this fragrance features top notes of rose, Clementine and honeysuckle as well as tiar flower, peony and jasmine with base notes of sandalwood, musk and patchouli. When you first spray this perfume, it takes a minute or so for the smell of alcohol to settle down before you can actually smell the lovely scent coming through, although the smell of alcohol is not unpleasant, the smell is much better after a minute or so of applying the perfume.


I would say that this perfume is quite musky as well as being sweet at the same time. You can definitely smell the jasmine and honeysuckle and it smells almost fruity which is probably due to the Clementine. The scent is very distinctive and I have no smelt another perfume that smells the slightest bit similar. The fragrance is strong enough to get you noticed, but not so strong that is becomes overpowering.


How Long Does The Smell Last?


This perfume does smell quite strong when you first put it on, due to the alcohol content. Once the alcohol smells dies down, you are left with a scent that will easily last you all day. I spray myself with 3-4 squirts at the beginning of the day and can still easily smell it still at the end of the day. Out of all the Burberry scents, burberry london certainly has one of the best staying powers.


Range


Burberry produces many perfumes. To name a few, Burberry Weekend, Burberry Touch, Burberry Baby Touch, burberry cologne, burberry brit red and other burberry perfumes.


Summary


I would definitely recommend this perfume; it is suitable to be worn for all occasions, a night out on the town, a romantic evening in or even to wear just to work. The scent lasts very well so a bottle should last you a good amount of time. The bottle is very sophisticated and looks great on your perfume shelf and it's very unique compared to all other perfume bottle designs.
