My Burberry EDT by Burberry

My Burberry EDT is sample that I apparently purchased a few years ago and never got around to trying out. I’m always misplacing samples. Anyway, I finally gave it a go, in order to review it for the site and share my thoughts on this fragrance. How does it smell? Is it even worth a try?

My Full Review

My initial thoughts after spraying My Burberry EDT are just how cool, fresh, and slightly water the composition is. Up top, I get the slight fruitiness provided by the peach blossom, freesia, and the damask rose.

The rose note isn’t heavy or overpowering the other floral ingredients, but it is there throughout the wear. Actually, the entire thing comes together as very well blended and you cannot always distinguish the exact notes.

However, after that initial phase, the peach blossom moves along and the peony steps into its place. Also, at this point in time, I get more of the earthiness of the moss and the musk. It’s all very pleasant and familiar to other floral fragrances, but My Burberry still feels unique to some extent.

The final dry down is the peony and rose, with the moss and musk. There isn’t a ton of development with this one, but I do personally get these three separate stages.

Sillage, Longevity, and Versatility

The sillage is on the lighter end of moderate, on my skin. This EDT isn’t going to blow the doors off and generally stays within a few feet of the wearer. Not a heavy and enveloping scent, rather, it is clean and light.

The longevity is pretty good, but not outstanding. It’ll hit the six or seven hour mark. Most of the time, closer to that 6 hour time frame. Again, useful, just not an outstanding performer.

Seasonally, My Burberry is great for spring and summer. However, it wouldn’t feel out of place for most of the rest of the year. Maybe just stay away from the absolute coldest depths of winter.

It is also and extremely versatile daily wear scent. It’s low key, smells nice, and isn’t going to offend almost anyone. It can be worn to work, school, casual, or even more formal occasions. Not really a nightlife or romantic wear, but it does have its own charming attractiveness.

Overall Impressions of My Burberry EDT

Overall, do I like this perfume? I do. The opening act with the peach blossom is my favorite part of the wear. After that, I still find it enjoyable, just not to the same extent. Though, I think that it’s well above average in how it smells in totality.

The performance is okay, nothing to write home about, but not a complete disappointment. If you want a fresh floral bouquet with some light peach touches, this is one worth considering. My Burberry EDT can absolutely be an easy reach for daily wear. Not ground breaking, but not one that I have any serious complaints about either.
