Not sure about this one. My husband likes it, however I find that is just a bit boring for me. It's a non offensive fragrance that wears close to the skin so it is good for the office.

I wear Burberry like a pair of brown suede gloves; close to the skin for comfort and style.

Don’t believe the 'safe' reviews.
Its true Burberry isn't loud, obnoxious or over hyped but safe is dull and dull this is not.

Brown sugar and caramelised pears finished with a generous dollop of double thick cream. Indulge without the calories.

Feels sooooo good :-)

I discovered it accidentally and fell in love immediately! Always taught that Burberry perfumes are for mature women, but I’m 21 and I really enjoy this one! In fact it might be my new signature scent... :)

On my skin it smells so sweet. Too sweet - like candies! The peach and apple notes are easily noticable. It's not for me...

on me, it is an oriental fruity fragrance, and also very powdery: the predominant scent of dried peaches and pears with some baby power on top. It is not as bad is it may sound =))I happen to like it: it's non-offensive and comforting. To me, it associates with those cloudy/windy early spring days - just makes you feel cozier in the cold weather.

This perfume is beautiful and may easily become one of my favorite fragrances. It is warm yet fresh, sweet yet sour, mildly woodsy and fruity. I LOVE THIS! LOL! The top notes may be a little masculine but that doesn't make me love it any less. It dries down to a soft, musky, mildly sweet peach and vanilla. Just gorgeous! The lasting power is awesome as well. CAn't wait to get my bottle!

Update: Finally got my bottle and it happened to be a tester. The funny thing is is that peach is listed nowhere in the notes? o.0

The notes are listed as follows: Top-Blackcurrant, Green Apple, Bergamot
Heart Notes-Jasmine, Cedarwood, Sandalwood Base-Musk, Vanilla.

So do I have a different version or did they change the notes?! o.0

I have a love/like relationship with this perfume. Mainly I do not like the opening notes, not at all. They are heavy and syrupy to me, and because of my chemistry with citrus/fruity notes, it makes the perfume turn almost sour smelling in a heavy way. But then, I hit the middle notes and I love this perfume. As for the drydown, while I do enjoy it somewhat, there is a sharp, almost chalky type of smell there. I can't put my finger on it, but I'm very aware of the odor and it annoys me. If only it would stay in the middle notes forever! So while I wouldn't say this is one of my favorites, it's a nice change every now and then when I'm in the mood for something different. Just a struggle for me to get past those cloying top notes.

This is a very nice perfume.A *safe* one, suitable to every woman, of any age.
Sweet peach, not powdery ,creamy, close to skin, juicy, very fruity...( I feel the peach and the pear)....
Lovely, discreet scent!

Burberry for women is to me a ''Fruity Oriental'' with top notes of peach, marigold, green apple and black currant. The most dominating top note is the peach/marigold combo, very delicious! The heart of Burberry contains cedarwood, sandalwood, moss and jasmine.I love how the sandalwood and cedar keep mixing with the top dominating notes all day! However the base of this fragrance is vanilla and musk which are quite evident throughout the life of the scent..There are absolutely no aldehydes in Burberry for women...I love the house of Burberry I've found all of the fragrances very wearable and relaxed.

The information for this fragrances is extremely lacking. Burberry for Women is a *Floral Oriental* fragrance NOT Floral Fruity. It should also be noted that Burberry for Women contains: aldehydes, green apple, marigold, bergamot, spices and orange flower notes. These sweet and spicy essences meld together to create the heart of a FLORAL ORIENTAL fragrance.

beautiful, elegant scent.
4 years ago it was tempting, but recently I discovered the "peachiness" and "appleiness" in it. plus pepper.

A unique scent!
I love this one in the rainy days.
I don't smell any jasmine in it, and the peach is soft and creamy, not fresh.
This fragrance is warm, woody, musky and sweet(but not overwhelming).In fact the sillage is discreet and the lasting power is average. However, I still love you, Burberry!

This is by far one of my top favorite fragrances like Thierry Mugler's Angel. I will never tire of this scent. When I wear it I feel so sexy! This scent drives me nuts and it seems like it was made specifically for my chemistry. I love wearing this especially on summer nights. It lasts for hours on me which is a huge plus! I always have to have a bottle of my Burberry :-)

It starts out fruity and after a while it turns into a warm, cozy,lovely, delicious, vanilla/musk scent in perfect harmony with the sweet fruits. I´m not usually into fruity-floral fragrances,but this one has really grown on me and I loooove it. I get so many compliments when I were this. "MMMMM what ARE you wearing"? You don´t need to be afraid to overspray it, the more the better!! Don´t hesitate to buy this. I can assure you that you will leave a beautiful trail wherever you go.

This is somehow sweet and light and heavy at the same time...It has no more lasting power on me than the other reviewers here, and yet it somehow has a heavy feeling. It's flowery without giving any jasmine impression, and not too sweet. The peach and pear last a while on me, but the peach is powdery, unlike the juicier peach of Champs-Elysées-I smell tonka bean too, and I like how musky the scent is...

This is a bit like Burberry Brit, only a little less sweet, and completely almond-free. I much prefer Brit, but this is a pleasant (but fairly serious) scent.

I'm not sure how this is considered a "floral fruity" because, on me, it smells very oriental and spicy. I have a hard time smelling the peach or really picking out any individual ingredients but overall, I think it has a nice, warm, spicy scent. There's a hint of powder and, as one of the reviewers said, it does have a warm "skin" smell that, in my opinion, manages to be sexy while still being classy and discreet. I've just ordered a bottle from strawberrynet.com and am looking forward to it arriving soon!

There is just something amazing about this perfume. The smell is addicting! It's lightly peachy, creamy, sensual and slightly woody with a splash of pear juice. It mixes well and creates a beautiful scent. Some reviewers find it to be "unsexy" but I disagree. I think it is very sexy. It stays fairly close to the skin and leaves a light scent around you. Lovely. Just lovely.

The bland box and bottle does not do this perfume any justice. I used to pass up this perfume on the shelves for others all because of the "plain jane" look. How wrong I was. I just decided one day to give it a try because while out shopping, this woman near me squeeked in delight when she spotted a bottle of Burberry. She ran up, sniffed it deeply and said to her friend behind her: "Oh, God I love the smell of Burberry!" So that got me wondering what was so special about that plain, manly looking bottle. Now I know!

This smells like others that I've smelled and loved. I recognize the apple in this and it smells very similar to the apple in Brandy. An apple orchard, hay smelling natural apple feel. The cedar is very similar to the cedar I smell in Hermes Un jardin Mediterranee. A greek isle cedar seeped in history and mythology. The vanilla is dry and leaves behind scent trails you can pick up thru out the day. This scent had to grow on me, but as my nose matured so did my adoration for this scent.

When I first tried this I was amazed at how good it smelled. Some new note that I had never smelled before. I bought it and sure enough in 3 days it became really boring. It smelled just plain musk and pear. Had to give it away. The packaging was still in tact and I had hardly used any of it. Gave it to a friend who had just graduated as a graduation gift. She loved it and whenever I see her she smells like it.

I love this on the blotter but when I sprayed it on my wrist, it turned into a very heady overly sweet floral musk shampoo smell that is so long lasting that I had a headache for a whole day.

though this is the oldest burberry female perfume,it's the lastest I'm checking out!in fact it's a very difficult one to find here.
I should confess that it's not my favorite one.not that I don't like it,but after all of these good reviews I expected a wow!
to me it smells a bit similar to Brit,without almond.the tops notes are strange.not very fruity as it shows here.it's more like the top notes of an oriental perfume.
don't trust the middle notes.I have it on me for 15 minutes now and there's no hint of Jasmine,instead I smell something like tonka beans.
it's 100% burberry.it has the originality and discreet character of burberry perfumes,but yet I like brit and weekend much more.

perfect for cosy cold days, perfect perfume for winter,i bought this unsniffed after seeing rave reviews and at first i thought it was nothing different or special but as it grew on me i couldnt get enough and i want to quickly use my 30ml so i can go and buy the biggest bottle i can find.

Got this a couple years ago and LOVED it, but now it's just okay. Not bad, I still wear it in the fall/winter. Though the top notes are listed as all fruits, it's not as "fruity" as you might think. Just a little bit of bland fruits, but the warm and woody cedar comes out the most on me with a bit of sweet vanilla. Like I said, it's okay, but it bores me now.

I wore this years ago and remember enjoying it, but wishing it would last longer. I sprayed it a few days ago, when shopping with my boyfriend to see if he liked it and he opened my eyes to something I can't believe I missed when I owned this scent. Burberry smells a lot like Gucci Rush! It is far subtler, far mustier where Rush is vibrant and succulent, but the lactonic peachy note of Rush is present in Burberry as well.

I have to say, the staying power and sillage of this scent is really poor; I wouldn't pay full price for it. It is a lovely scent, however, and maybe perfect for those who enjoyed the fruitiness of Rush, but craved more woods and less electricity.

This is a rather hard to find fragrance due to it being listed under so many different names eg. Burberry for Women, Burberry Classic, Burberry London etc. When I eventually found it I had my fingers crossed that I hadn't been searching for something that was going to be a disappointment.

Disappointed, I was not. Crazy about the scent? No, not really.

This fragrance is light, creamy and warm. Unlike other Burberry scents, I felt that this fragrance stayed very close to the skin, making it an intimate perfume. When I smell Burberry Woman I immediately think of a hot sunny day, so I'd most likely wear this during the warmer seasons.

The peach, apricot, pear and black currant add a fruity freshness to this scent without making it too sour or overpowering. This is actually a fruity opening that I rather enjoyed.

I don't get a lot of jasmine in this fragrance, however the musk is fairly strong. Overall the scent is comforting and suitable for any age group, but with that being said this fragrance didn't grow on me because I found it rather linear and common.

It's not the best perfume choice if you're looking to stand out from the crowd. Burberry Woman is friendly and casual, not sexy, romantic or outstanding.

Gorgeous perfume! With the citrus I could wear it all summer, then the drydown leaves a velvety powder. Simply perfect!

My all-time favourite....beautiful, warm, elegant & soft. Not too overpowering (heady scents usually give me a headache) & stays close & true on the skin for hours.

Vanilla is the heart of this fragrance, whilst the tiniest touch of peach lifts the musk. The jasmine does not annoy. There is a creamy, cashmere aura to this scent. I dislike full-on fruity fragrances & I would not classify BL as such, more a very soft oriental.

I have heard people compare it to Rush....but I find this to be an insult to Burberry! To me the only similarity is the peach....but in Rush it is plastic peach, in BL it is peach wrapped in gold. It has a delicacy that other fragrances fail to match. The woody notes make sure that it is never too sweet or sickly - just perfect!

I have been stopped & complimented by strangers close enough to catch a waft of this superb fragrance - especially when I spritz it on my hair.

10/10 - I only wish the bottle lasted longer!

I don't understand why I don't like this fragrance; the notes are all things I like.....but on my skin, all I smell is.....boring. Mild peachy notes mixed with mild ambery notes, a commercial scent that does nothing for me. I wish it worked with my chemistry better after reading other reviews, but it is not meant to be. I swapped my bottle for Burberry London (the plaid) and found that London is much more to my liking.

In spite of being a feminine fragrance, I acquired a bottle for me once upon a time, because I thought this fragrance is very similar to Bourbon Homme, which I miss. But I do not agree that this perfume is frutal. Im my opinion, this perfume is amber + spices, what makes it candy, however, not obnoxious. He is wonderful for cooler climates, rainy days and moments where we are next to who we like, as in a cinema, a special dinner, etc.
Although not to consist of its composition, I think that this perfume leaves a smell of almonds, which make it different and seductive.
It possesses good lasting and collects many compliments.

they say "fruity floral" but the impression that i get from it is very oriental. its warmth and sweetness, and slight spiciness. smells mature and sexy, like someone who knows parfums
it's sweetness slowly diminishes until you are left with a subtle woodsy, musky scent that lingers close to you(at least on me)

Smells very comforting. Unfortunately my husband hates it but I really like it. Not floral, more fruity and musky. Normally I don't like vanilla but this has just the right amount.

This fragrance is difficult for me to describe, at least with notes. It does remind me of a "skin" scent. Not gourmand nor very floral at all. I get a very comforting ambery drydown. The scent is not loud, in fact, it seems soothing and warm to me. I could see a female of any age wearing this, though it's for people who like subtle fragrances that stay close to the skin. It is unobtrusive, but CAN be heavy if you overdo it. This is very sensual~ Lasting power is good on me, I put it on 7 hours ago and can still smell it.

With Burberry Woman on I always feel cosy and confident. The lasting power is exceptional. I find it somehow similar to Acqua di Gio and I am positive there are some tonka beans in the base notes.

I don't know it reminds me something, maybe some Ghosts fragrance?For me its more fruity than floral scent. This one is a warm, sweet, but fresh perfume, although still on the synthetic side, which smells utterly 'supermarkets', 'shopping' and 'drugstore'. The fragrance is still nice, non offencive and light, the one that stays close to the skin. But is it the one I would choose? No, I don't think so

This is one of my "go to" fragrances. An upscale perfume beginning with the eruption of fresh fruit then a subtle simmering of the sensual woody florals and then the final stage ending with calming effect of vanilla and musk. This winning combination of modern and traditional notes is my preferred Burberry scent with the exception of the preceding Burberry masterpiece, Society, which unfortunately is no longer owned by Burberry and has been reformulated.

A beautiful, understated fragrance. Yummy peach/apricot topnotes, drydown is a comforting musk/cedar/vanilla. Develops into a sensual skin scent. Very natural smelling, not likely to bother anyone with allergies. Good choice for someone who doesn't like "perfumey" fragrances.
