Few things enhance your confidence like an empowering scent. The new Her EDP Intense from Burberry ensures something special for a romantic evening and a rejuvenating boost for a day in the office. Regardless of your go-to fragrance, something new is always worth discovering—and the latest from Burberry is no exception. After wearing it for only a few days, I received compliments from everyone, from my hubby to the lady at the dry cleaners and the girls at my Monday evening pilates class. I am sure that's what we all want.
Burberry Her Eau De Parfum Intense, 50ml $215, 100ml $276.
What’s in it?
This is a deceptively sexy, fruity floral, and Burberry has managed to entice the wearer with a blend of exotic, almost earthy ingredients. In this case, wild strawberry and orange blossom with synthetic ambroxan, a replacement for ambergris (a staple in modern fragrance making), adds the musky-amber-like aroma.

One of this scent's best features is its longevity from a single spritz. After the initial woody dry-down, the tart orange blossom takes the lead, proving it will appeal to floral fragrance lovers as much as those who like musky perfume. But as the day (or night; this scent works for both) wears on, the gorgeous, ambery musk mingles in. The best way to describe the smell is sultry, thanks to the amber notes that, after a few hours, leave a soapy (fresh linen-like) scent that is very comforting. Finding a fragrance that perfectly balances freshness and femininity is a masterstroke. Congratulations, Burberry; you have nailed it again.
