Main Accords
8 MAPPEDThe dominant floral and sweet accords present as clean, rain-washed petals rather than thick nectar. On skin, the citrus top notes dissipate within twenty minutes, allowing the fruity quince accord to merge with green geranium. The rose and patchouli dry down builds a grounded, soapy trail that stays crisp for hours.

Fragranxe Review
EDITORIAL“Burberry My Burberry Review: Wet Roses and Tart Quince”
Francis Kurkdjian designed My Burberry to capture the sensory experience of a rain-soaked London garden, and the initial spray hits with immediate, vibrant clarity. Sweet pea and bright bergamot burst forward alongside sharp mandarin orange, grapefruit, and tart lemon. The top notes deliver a crisp, ozonic opening that instantly brings to mind damp city pavement, fresh morning air, and wet plant leaves after a sudden spring downpour.
As the initial citrus sizzle settles over the first twenty minutes, the heart notes take total control of the profile. Golden quince emerges with its distinctive astringent bite, sitting right on the fine line between sour green apple and hard pear. Crisp freesia and herbal geranium leaf lend a clean, peppery sharpness that prevents subtle background accents of peach, gardenia, and passionfruit from turning overly sweet or sugary.
On skin, the composition deepens as damask rose and violet bloom into the middle and lower phases of wear. The rose note stays fresh and dew-covered rather than powdery or jammy. Grounded by clean white musk, earthy patchouli leaves, and a subtle suggestion of polished beige leather, the dry down retains a soapy, structured quality that feels thoroughly anchored, composed, and tidy throughout a long day.
Performance matches the assertive, formal character of the blend. You can expect 6 to 8 hours of consistent longevity from three to four sprays on clean skin, with clothing fabrics retaining the floral notes well beyond 12 hours. Sillage projects strongly for the first two hours within a three-foot radius before settling into an arm's length bubble that holds up remarkably well in windy or rain-filled outdoor weather.
This fragrance caters directly to buyers seeking a mature, professional floral with real weight and substance. It avoids modern gourmand sugar trends entirely in favor of green, soapy refinement and crisp structure. While some casual wearers might find the opening geranium and quince slightly bitter or soapy, enthusiasts who appreciate structured florals will value its unique, rain-washed garden perspective and adult composure.
My Burberry stands out as a truly memorable designer release with genuine character. The clever interplay between sweet pea, tart quince, green notes, and damp rose creates a polished signature suited for cool spring days and formal office wear. It remains a compelling option for anyone looking for a weather-ready floral scent that projects quiet confidence without needing heavy vanilla.
