Reviews →

Francis Kurkdjian created My Burberry in 2014 to catch the crisp air of a wet London garden. It opens with sharp bergamot and sweet pea before settling into golden quince and freesia. Damp damask rose and earthy patchouli hold the base. It feels lush, slightly soapy, and tailored for cool spring rain.
