When it comes to purchasing a new perfume, a lot of us tend to turn to French fragrance houses as we know we can rely on them for expensive-smelling scents. From Chanel and Dior to Maison Francis Kurkdjian and Diptyque, there are so many French brands out there that offer a range of chic fragrances. However, I feel like British perfume brands are often overlooked when in my opinion, they do some of the nicest scents out there. From Jo Malone London to Penhaligon’s, some of my favourite fragrances of all time are from iconic British brands. However, there’s one brand in particular that I know I can rely on to earn me compliments, Yep, I’m talking about Burberry.
This brand may be best known for its iconic trench coats, but Burbery actually released its first fragrance in 1981, and has created lots of iconic scents over the years that beauty editors swear by. These perfumes have taken over TikTok as of late, with many people claiming that they are some of their most-complimented scents. As an editor, I’d have to agree. I’ve had lots of the brand’s perfumes in my collection for a while now, and people always ask me what I’m wearing whenever I spritz them. In fact, I get so many questions that I thought it was only right to round up the best Burberry perfumes out there so that you can try some for yourself. Keep on scrolling for my top picks…
Do Burberry Perfumes Last?
One thing I get asked a lot is if Burberry perfumes actually last. It’s hard to give a definite answer, as it can vary from scent to scent depending on the notes, but one thing I love about the brand is that they tend to do more intense iterations of their most popular scents. So, if you like an impactful perfume that will linger all day long, I highly suggest checking out these fragrances.
Now, without further ado, keep on scrolling for the best Burberry perfumes to add to your basket…

The Best Burberry Perfumes, as Chosen by a Beauty Editor
1. Burberry Her
Burberry
Her Eau De Parfum
Key notes: Blackcurrant, blueberry, raspberry, jasmine accord, violet accord, white woods, musk and dry amber
This perfume has become somewhat of an icon thanks to TikTok. After seeing all the online hype I had to try it out for myself, and I wasn’t disappointed. Now, if you don’t like sweet scents then this won’t be for you, but if you do like something fruity and floral, I highly recommend giving this a go. It’s a super warm, sugary, feminine and youthful fragrance which opens with notes of blackcurrant and raspberry before drying down to a sensual base of amber and musk. I’m yet to meet anyone who doesn’t like this.
2. Burberry Her Elixir
Burberry
Her Elixir De Parfum
Key notes: Strawberry, blackberry, jasmine, vanilla, amber and sandalwood
Her Elixir is a richer version of the fragrance above, and is perfect for those of you looking for a statement scent. Notes of strawberry add even more fruitiness, while the addition of vanilla gives this gourmand fragrance a creamier base.
3. Burberry Goddess
Burberry
Goddess Eau De Parfum
Key notes: Vanilla and lavender
Speaking of vanilla, let me introduce you to Burberry Goddess. Another fragrance that has taken social media by storm, this scent features a trio of vanilla notes. Again, this is a gourmand fragrance so if you don’t like sweet scents, this won’t be for you. That being said, it is an incredibly sophisticated take on a vanilla-based scent, and the addition of lavender gives it even more depth. It’s beautifully warm and sensual and spritzing it feels like wrapping up in your favourite cashmere jumper while enjoying a hot vanilla latte.
4. Burberry Goddess Intense
Burberry
Goddess Intense Eau De Parfum
Key notes: Vanilla, vanilla wood and lavender
As mentioned previously, Burberry often bring out more intense versions of their popular perfumes for those who like to make an impact. Goddess Intense features a fourth vanilla note to make this fragrance even more addictive. The original notes are amplified by vanilla wood which adds a warming, smoky edge. While Burberry Her is more of a summer scent, this fragrance is my go-to for winter date nights. If you want endless compliments, then this is the perfume to go for.
5. Burberry Her London Dream
Burberry
Her London Dream Eau De Parfum
Key notes: Lemon, ginger, rose, peony, musk and amber
Perhaps I’m biased because I live in London, but I’m a big fan of Burberry’s Her London Dream. This fragrance stands out from the rest thanks to opening notes of lemon and ginger which give it a fresh, invigorating aroma. To me, it perfectly captures the exciting feeling of visiting the city for the first time.
