Her is a very popular series from Burberry nowadays. It has spawned more than a handful of flankers up to this point in time. I’ve been familiar with the eau de parfum for quite a while, but wanted to compare it to Her Eau de Toilette, which I’d only encountered once. So, this is my page for that.
How does each of them smell? How long do they last? Which is the better perfume pick?
Quick Overview
🏆 My Verdict
Burberry Her EDT wins on opening and overall scent, while Burberry Her EDP wins on projection and longevity. Versatility is basically a push because the EDP works better outside of summer, while the EDT specializes more in spring and summer.
Buy Her EDT if you want the fresher, more interesting pear, black currant, strawberry, and floral version with very little performance drop-off.
Buy Her EDP if you want the stronger, longer-lasting berry-heavy scent.
| Category | Burberry Her EDP | Burberry Her EDT | Winner |
|---|---|---|---|
| Opening | Strong citrus and berry opening with strawberry, raspberry, brightness, and some jasmine | Pear-led opening with strawberry, black currant, pink pepper, lily of the valley, and peony | Her EDT |
| Projection | Pretty strong at first, then moderates after the first hour or so | Starts fairly strong and comes close to EDP, but not quite as high at the peak | Her EDP |
| Longevity | Usually 7–8 hours, sometimes slightly above 8 | About 7 hours | Her EDP |
| Versatility | Best outside of summer; pleasant daytime wear that skews younger | Spring and summer vibe; light, fresh, pleasant daytime wear | Push |
| Overall Scent | Sweet-tart berry fruitiness with strawberry, citrus, raspberry, and a less original back half | Fresher pear, black currant, strawberry, and floral profile with the better opening and dry down | Her EDT |
| Best For | Those who want stronger berry projection and slightly longer wear | Those who want the fresher, more interesting version with near-EDP performance | — |

Opening
Burberry Her EDP starts off with a strong use of its citrus and berry notes. The fruitiness is powerful in the early stages. Strawberry is the strongest note of the lot, with some additional raspberry and brightness of the citrus notes.
It can be sharp and sour versus being sugary sweet or anything. The floral notes aren’t all that strong, but there is a decent amount of jasmine at times.
EDT also has that strawberry note. However, it starts off with the pear note being the lead. Under that, I get more of the black currant than I do the strawberry. It’s fresh and kind of watery, with a touch of pink pepper breaking up the sweetness.
But, what I do notice between these two options, is that Her EDT uses its floral notes a bit more in the early stages. Lily of the valley is the main focus, though, I get some peony also.
Which is better?
I don’t have a huge preference for one versus the other at this early stage. But, I do lean more towards the EDT version. The pear, freshness, greenish qualities are a bit more interesting than what I get from EDP.
Edge: Her EDT
Projection
Her EDP kicks off things with a pretty strong ability to project and leave a scent trail in one’s wake. It will moderate in the back half of the first hour or so.
Still, it doesn’t feel weak ever, until we get to the absolute depths of the wear.
EDT actually comes close to matching what EDP does. It starts fairly strong as well. Maybe not as high of a peak, but it’s not completely weak either. It then follows the same sort of trajectory on the way down.
Edge: EDP
Longevity
Her EDP will generally hit the 7-8 hour range on my skin. Maybe it can go a little bit above 8 hours, at times, but not much. It’s actually been fairly steady for me over all of the testing of this perfume that I’ve done.
With EDT, it is once again, almost as good as the eau de Parfum. Yet, it still falls short. On my skin, I got about 7 hours out of this one.
So, maybe 60-90 more minutes of wear with Her EDP. Not a massive difference, but a win.
Edge: Her EDP
Versatility
Her EDP is one that I like in every season except for the summertime. I don’t think it holds up all that well in the heat and humidity. Meanwhile, EDT specializes in the warmer months of the year. It very much has a spring and summer vibe to it. Light and fresh.
Neither of these are formal wear perfumes, nor are they completely mature. More pleasant daytime wears, that skew a bit younger without being childish.
I don’t know if there’s an advantage here.
Edge: Push
Overall Scent
So, overall, which Burberry Her do I like more? EDP or EDT?
They’re not too far off from one another. Each fragrance has some things that I enjoy about them.
With Burberry Her EDP, I do like that opening fruitiness, as it does offer something somewhat different from Cloud and BR 540 which it often gets compared to. Not totally different, but sweeter and more tart, in that opening act.
The back half is fine. Nothing too original there.
I do think that I slightly prefer Her EDT to the eau de parfum version. Actually, I think Intense is better than either of these, but my pick is EDT out of these two. There are some other perfumes similar to Burberry Her.
With EDT, you don’t get much decline in the performance versus EDP. Also, I think the opening and back half of the perfume smells better. The opening of Her EDP was my favorite part of that scent, but EDT outshines it there too.
Winner: EDT

Burberry Her FAQ
Which is better: Burberry Her EDT or EDP?
Again, I prefer the EDT version of this fragrance, even with the weaker performance. I like the pear not, the blackcurrant, and just find it to be a more interesting scent.
Which Burberry Her is best for summer?
Between these two editions it’s the EDT. Other options from the series are: Her Petals and Her London Dream. The latter two may be difficult to find nowadays. Those are the best bets for a warmer weather fragrance, though.
Which Burberry Her perfume should I buy first?
I’d probably try out Her EDT first, if it sounds interesting to you. Her EDP is nice enough, just never wows me. Maybe check out Elixir, as that is a popular option too.
