I’ve been collecting perfumes since I was in high school. I used to display all the bottles, even empty ones, on my dressing table. So just imagine my excitement when I was told that I’ll be given a personalized My Burberry perfume. It’s only now I realized that I actually don’t own a personalized bottle of perfume. Well, we’re all familiar with monogrammed bags, but a perfume bottle with your initials?! How cool is that?! 😀

“My Burberry is the true embodiment of our brand, in scent, in design and in attitude. A fragrance that takes its lead from the iconic Burberry trench has to be outstanding in every way.” – Christopher Bailey, Chief Creative and Chief Executive Officer, Burberry

My Burberry Fragrance

My Burberry fragrance is inspired by a London garden after the rain. Oooh… The scent totally reminds me of my self-proclaimed second home. Haha! I can still remember how relaxing it was to just sit down in a park after a stressful day at work or a full day of walking (and shopping) along Oxford Street.

My Burberry is a grand floral fragrance with an unexpected edge; the scent is confident and beautifully elegant, yet understated in a typically British way. Top notes of sweet pea and bergamot fuse with a heart of geranium, golden quince and freesia, rounded out with base notes of rain-tipped damask and centifolia roses and patchouli.

Referencing the Burberry trench coat colour palette, the My Burberry juice is reminiscent of the signature honey shade, one of the three colours used in the brand’s Heritage Trench Coat collection.

And wondering why it’s called “My Burberry”? It takes its name from the affectionate way in which people refer to their Burberry trench coat.

My Burberry Bottle

The glass bottle and overall design reflect the details of the Burberry trench coat: a bold horn-finish cap echoes its distinctive buttons and the hand-tied knot is English-woven gabardine, honouring the fabric invented by Thomas Burberry over 100 years ago. The bottle is presented in a trench-coloured box. The gold lined interior is embossed with the iconic Burberry check design.
