Burberry Her Intense, 50ml, $169.
What's in it?
The unique blend of tart blackberry with sour cherry makes this scent sweet but not overly so, thanks to the delicate blend of jasmine and violet, mixed with the fresh alpine scent of cedarwood. Made by a French perfumer, Francis Kurkdjian, who has over 40 fragrances to his name, including some of the most iconic from designers such as Narciso Rodriguez for her, Elie Saab Le Parfum, and L'Exase Nina Ricci - and of course the original My Burberry. He describes this newbie as a fruity-floral gourmand, and told journalists at the launch, “Expect a dark and fruity scent, with a warm sweet kick.“
Why do we like it?
Winter is a time to amp up the fragrance intensity you wear, especially when your skin is covered with layers of silk and cashmere. So, if you’re on the hunt for a new fragrance that will linger for hours, choose one like this from the gourmand family of perfumes. Why? They are warm, and spicy and loaded with delicious, almost edible, ingredients that linger all night. But when layered over an unscented body lotion (before you spritz on the perfume), Kurkdjian says, “You can expect this Intense version of Her Burberry to last on the skin for nine hours.” Tried and tested - he was right, we are hooked.
