My Burberry Black by Burberry

What a triumph this perfume is, a true masterpiece by a great master. Notes of peach and rose that smell divine. The longevity is unbelievable; I love wearing it on rainy, cold days 💕

It has the perfect touch of animality, perfectly balanced with peach and patchouli. A brown beast unisex that leaves me feeling very sensual.

I didn’t like the opening; the dry-down has a rose that is too potent and the patchouli is very strong. I found it unpleasant.

Potent and VERY long-lasting. In a world of fruity-atchoulis, flankers and cheap copies that don’t last two hours, this has its own personality and is noticeable with just two sprays. The most important thing: you may like it or not, but the quality is appreciated. Perhaps it’s a little retro from the 2000s, which is positive for me as I like that era. It doesn’t suit everyone, not a blind buy. Perhaps because I’m not a fan of rose, but one must recognise Kurkdjian’s hand, masterfully combined in a dense amber syrup of patchouli and a ripe peach, almost like a mirabelle plum. Linear, romantic and versatile; the patchouli is potent, wearable and earthy, not chocolatey. My batch is from 2021, macerated, leaves a trail, lasts and isn’t expensive. Today I put on two flits at 7, went to work and after the pool (!) I can still smell it. What can I say, if I put it on early, by noon I try others and this one eats the rest with potatoes. Not even with Delina does it happen. I can smell it all day, it can become overwhelming, so use with moderation. Wonderful potency. Well done.

An amber, mature peach 🫶. It’s the best Burberry I’ve tried so far; I’ve tried many 😁. One must know when to use it; it’s elegant and nocturnal. It should be sprayed sparingly. I believe perfumes lose their charm when we overdo it or use them in inappropriate climates. My Burberry Black will never be missing from my collection 💞

My Burberry Black is a feminine and elegant blend of amber and peach, possessing a perfect simplicity that projects beautifully and lasts ten hours intact. On winter clothes, it lingers for weeks without being overpowering, delivering the performance of a luxury fragrance. Francis Kurkdjian truly deserves a place of honour in modern perfumery: the beauty of this scent improves with time, becoming more intense. While not identical, if you want something similar without testing it, Givenchy’s Dhalia Divin is a benchmark; both are ambered, fruity, sophisticated, and sober. With continued use, I’ve noticed that MBB and Armani Si Eau de Parfum are distinct yet share a key point: the delightful dry-down in both. The undisputed king is My Burberry Black: the performance is impeccable, the projection turns heads, it smells exquisite and elegant, and the price remains moderate for a designer range. A 10/10, the best performance in my collection and a benchmark when buying other expensive perfumes. Who will love it: amber lovers.

I agree with Angelard, although I haven’t tested previous versions. I bought a 30ml bottle with a 2023 batch, and to be honest, it has disappointed me. I detect no peach whatsoever; it smells more like apricot, synthetic, and heavily ambered. I also don’t sense that earthy patchouli. It lasts hours, but it isn’t that sweet peach with an earthy base I expected. I know it’s a retro classic, but for a sweet peach with a patchouli base, I still prefer Mitsouko EDP.

Run, as they are being discontinued! A liar… It was Monday, 19 June 2023, and I passed by El Corte Inglés and they had bottles with batches from two months ago. It seems production has resumed. You can breathe a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness I didn’t buy it blindly; it’s a patchouli bomb with something that wants to be peach but could also be some red fruit. It’s a scent that reminds me of 80s perfumes I used to hear from my mother’s friends. My husband didn’t like it at all. Apparently, it has good fixation; I even washed my hand and it still smells here. It reminds me of this Belle or One Million Privé by the type of patchouli. I expected to feel an amber explosion, and the truth is I don’t notice it.

One of my favourite women’s perfumes. Every time I smell it, I feel like spraying it in my mouth. Personally, it smells to me like a dense, dark honey over white flowers and something else that gives it support, like a soft background of white woods. Whatever the case, this perfume heightens a woman’s attractiveness. To be used at night and preferably in cold climates. Longevity and sillage are nuclear.

Intense, unique, elegant and sophisticated. It has me hooked.

I first encountered it via a decant, thinking it was a dark, potent amber. It took a few days for my skin to fall in love before I bought the full bottle. The amber shines spectacularly, blended with the sweetness of peach, floral jasmine and a touch of rose, all boosted by a seductive patchouli that makes it addictive. Ideal for cold weather, it’s warm, deep and sexy. A unisex feminine fragrance with moderate to intense projection and eternal longevity. It’s a wonder in a heavy, quality bottle, though I wouldn’t buy it blindly.

Sensuality, elegance and femininity. The advert with the woman in the rain on a cold night sums it up perfectly. This is the scent: that sweet apricot balanced with the amber that gives it power and projection, and the patchouli that adds character and longevity. I feel unique, unstoppable and sexy when wearing it. I love it. 💕

I can’t distinguish the individual notes; wearing it feels like having elegant velvet on the skin. I suppose it’s the peach, but it gives a skin sensation rather than a fruity one; it’s rare but almost tangible. The longevity is brutal; I wore it yesterday at 5pm and woke up today at 7am with bursts of scent. The trail is moderate to high, sometimes noticeable from several metres away. Wonderful!

I loved this fragrance; ideal for going out at night. It smells of ripe, juicy apricots wrapped in a powdery halo with an amber base. A delicious combination! Excellent longevity, over 10 hours on the skin, an eternity on clothes. Moderate and very pleasant trail. 🤍
