London (for women)

talat

I have sheer and london.I like london better as its for grown ups. very warm and very much English. I got more than 40 perfumes, this is in the top ones.

The rose and honeysuckle top notes are nice, but there is something else in this that doesn't agree with my chemistry. Perhaps it's the patchouli; I rarely get along with patchouli. There's also another note here that reminds me of another, less expensive perfume that I don't care for - one of the floral notes, I think. Twenty minutes into this I was convinced that I'd had this perfume before, and that I hadn't liked it then, either.

I'm clearly in the minority here; this obviously works well for a lot of people. I'm just suggesting that you might want to try this out first.

Oh~~~~~~~this smells good but not for me after i tested the limited edition,
if i have to choose between the two,there is no way i am going to buy this ,the limited edition is THE ONE to have to hold to get to buy to sleep next to ~~~~~~

This scent is very classic, it is striking, even chic. The setting is magnificent. I wear a little bit because it is a stronger floral. I found it similar to the Fragile of Jean Paul Gautier, maybe the jasmine in its heart explain this.

Very rarely do I test a fragrance and feel the sudden urge to buy it right then and there without letting it develop fully on my skin. However, London was almost an exception.

London is such a delicate and pretty floral scent. Not only is the fragrance beautiful when you first apply, but it continues its heavenly scent right until the very end. There is nothing to dislike about this fragrance.

It has a classic-like smell, possibly because of the rose and jasmine notes, however this is in no way an 'old lady' perfume. The scent is soft, feminine, youthful and elegant.

I wouldn't describe London as being outrageously sexual or provocative, because it definitely is none of those. Burberry scents are what I refer to as 'comfort scents', fragrances that you can feel comfortable wearing during the daytime, around the house, on a picnic or simply relaxing. I love that laid-back approach they have when creating their scents.

Although I have never been to London, I believe this fragrance has captured the beauty and history that makes London so special. The fragrance is also suited to England's cold climate with its ability to create warmth and uplift your spirits on a cold winter's day.

Although I resisted the urge to purchase this fragrance the other day, it will definitely stayed fixed in my wishlist until I buy it, which will probably be very soon.

i had a big tester, loved it, but it seems too strong sometimes:)

another one i bought on a whim and returned..WAY too flowery for me, i will say it is very clean, smells sort of like sunsilk shampoo but i still couldnt get used to it..anything with jasmine in it bothers me and then i noticed thats the heart of the fragrance so that explains it..i dont hate it but it was just not what im looking for..

This is my only perfume from Burberry and I find it sensational!!!

MirabelleJee

A noble and nice perfume. Not all that gold that shines.

Beautiful, beautiful fragrance. I only bought the small 1.0 oz bottle but I certainly will buy the 3.4 oz when I finished this, which, no doubt, will be very soon. Possibly even before summer starts.

I've been reading reviews on this scent on MUA and many of them state that this is a fall/winter fragrance. I totally disagree, I think this is in fact a very nice spring/summer scent. Sweet and flowery, slightly fruity in it's opening, playful and not heavy at al. Sure, you gotta use a light hand but that goes for many perfumes if you wish to use them in warm weather. Really, I'm tellin' ya.... try this in spring/summer, you won't regret it. It's the nicest thing. :)

Staying power on me is good, 2 squirts last me about 8 or 9 hours. Can't say anything nice about the bottle with it's odd bit of fabric wrapped around it so I'll shut up about that. =D

Today is a spring sunny day. Birds are singing, the air is warm and the smell of ne wborn blooms is harmonious. ... Whitch fragrance shall I choose? ... I am asking myself. And there it is, at the very end of my wardrobe, the Burberry London. I have almost forgotten about it! I take it in my hands, spray it on myself ... and ... oh, what an aroma! The charming floral bloom sways me in this spring sunny day. What a poetry, what a delight! And the perfume develops and develops ... into a stable creamy rosey floral. Yes, I like it!

Chatnoir

A wonderful scent- I love the men's version, and the women's "London" is a great fragrance, too. I'm sad to hear this is discontinued- it is the best of the Burberry scents. Yes, it is a floral, but it isn't cloying, and I certainly don't get the "old fashioned" feel other reviewers describe. The woody notes keep the florals from becoming overwhelming, the whole composition wears well as a classy but casual scent.

Perfumedsecrets

It smells like Spring in a bottle. Never too strong... and they didn't use the same old basic notes. Thank God. It's casual and easy to wear.

michellehii

Right...I don't hate this one, and I don't really into it either. It smells classic, but just too OLD-FASHIONED, and definitely not for hot & humid country!!It will be too over to be used under sun or at the beach. I wonder, it has all my favourite notes, but I just don't feel very comfortable with it. I might try this one again in cold weather.

► I have buy today in a mini bottle.
The first impression is scent like a bubblegum (maybe sweet tangerine ?).
After, in a middle notes, there are a scent of english rose, tiare and a light poeny. And the base notes, i detect the rose and musc, really like that flower, not strong, really sensual and delicate. I don't detect the patchouli in this one.
I love that fragrance, it's my favorite of the brand Burberry. Great ! ♥

scarlett5stam

i love !!!! it's very agreable, good scent... i really like !

Elumina

Today i was going to test this one, so here is my review:

At the first sniff it smells like bubble gum, so cute ^^
After few minutes its really floral, much rose scent, its really nice. i think it works good as spring/autumn daytime fragrance, also long lasting.

Currently on my wishlist :)

kiselina

A pleasant floral, an enchanting combination of rose, honeysuckle and tiare flower. I wear it now, but IMHO it is not a winter fragrance. I find it very similar to Beyond Paradise-EL.

kurisu

Sweet,mellow and classic.Staying power is powerful,just a little spray and it's stay all day. IMO,It's has image of "ladylike",designed for the mature but not for teen.Definitely winter fragrance.

essija

I love Burberry but not this one. Very old smelling to me, did not like, had to wash it off immediately. Very strong and I would not recommend wearing this around people at work. Disappointed in this one, thankfully I didn't purchase it unsniffed.

LadyJedi

Honeysuckle and jasmine in a perfect combination! Makes me feel confident and full of energy! Extremely long-lasting, too.

Carla

Apply this one with a light touch and you will feel very Londonesque! In the heart of this frangrance the tiare flower transports you to Tahiti and then BOOM the dry down of the woody musk and patcholi makes you crave tea and crumpets and your back in old London Town! It's a trip in a bottle!

dina

I do like Burberry fragrances in general, but not this one. Too heavy and the jasmine is not that clear in the notes.

sjanira

I love the scent, very feminine and not to strong. This one and Burberry Brit are my favorite. As for the bottle design on both of them....I'm not to crazy about, their ok. They almost look like men fragrances. Their scent in the other hand is exquisite.

iam2sexy4uris

Love the bottle!!! This perfume is definitely reminds me of London. Very sweet and feminine. I loved wearing it.

sonrise

I think this is a very clean smelling perfume I would love to have a bottle

mightyaphrodite

Pretty sophisticated scent stereotypic of the high end fragrances. It appears to be a nice, warming, powdery scent because it's dominated by Indian Sandalwood and Patchouli. The Patchouli isn't too strong to induce massive headache but I would suggest using in moderation. Staying power is great. The dry down reminds me of the Juicy Couture fragrance.

Leukothea

This is a reflection of pure english elegancy and the traditional english sofistication. The word "posh" suits him best, and while being in a smokey bar where almost every perfumes goes unnoticed, this one will cut the air with its soft sharpness and leave behind an army of intrigued noses.

klee0206

A classy, sophisticated scent. Quite pleasant and makes the wearer smell confident, self-assured and well put-together.

dizzi

Comforting,sweet and warm perfume.It's also modern and long-lasting.London is in my top 10 fall perfumes.

joybee88

Warm, comforting and rather common. Quite good, but not really my fav.

guest_Jolie Hoang Anh

I love to wear it when it's cold and rain. One of my favorites.

pimpnazt

This is horrible! I cannot stand it. It reminds me of an old English chap who smells of menthol cigars and peppermint schnapps.

olga5

I expected more from Burberry, This new London is pretty and very promising at the beginning, so spring like, but after 10 minutes it becomes boring. ;-(

elgab89

As usually Burberry delivers! Great warm scent!
