Burberry London for Women is a sophisticated riff on the traditional Burberry perfume and has a delicate powdery base with pronounced honeysuckle and rose and bright fruit notes.
This Burberry London perfume is excellent for people who enjoy white floral notes and want something that’s an outstanding balance of citrus and floral that’s a little bit sweet but never overpowering.
Burberry rolled out Burberry London for her in 2006, adding it to the already incredible line of Burberry perfumes. It leads with honeysuckle and juicy tangerine, then goes into rose and ends with a musky note of rich patchouli.
The result is a perfume that smells delicious all throughout the day.
You’ll feel just like a chic Londoner when you spritz this on, mainly because the bottle comes with pretty tartan packaging. It’s also a pretty cost-effective option, especially for Burberry.
Although the Burberry London price will differ depending on where you buy it, you can usually get a terrific deal.
