My Burberry Black, from Burberry was released in 2016. The perfumer behind this creation is Francis Kurkdjian. It has the top notes of Jasmine, middle notes of Peach and Rose, and base notes of Amber and Patchouli.
It's not often I venture into the women specific, designer scent world but something compelled me to pick this bottle up. Now it isn't due to a lack of interest more that there isn't enough hours in a day to sample everything out there. My Burberry Black was actually a quality piece of work but the overall vibe is very Femme (rightly so) and as such not something I'd wear. I don't even feel it's that original in approach but for one crucial thing, It doesn't smell cheap. The base of amber and woods anchors what is not strictly an oriental perfume, perhaps more of a fruity Chypre hybrid but with that classically peachy, jasmine then a pleasing, warmer drydown. Nice.
