London for Men Burberry for men

Great smelling scent, but it last only 4 hours. What a pity!!

@sherry99:

I have bad longevity too and moderate projection.

The smell is great, reminds me of confectioners sugar, ginger bread, christmas, fresh baked cinnamon pretzel and happiness.

OK I know most everyone loves this fragrance so I may be stirring up the chicken coup by saying this,but, I hate this smell. It smalls just like carmex lib balm only ten times stonger and it makes me noxious. Not sure what all the hype is. Burberry Britt on the other hand, now thats amazing.

Amazing fragrance. This spicy, sweet concoction strikes the right balance between older classic scents and modern ones. It definitely has a note in there reminiscent of "barbershopy aftershave" as many people that have selled this on me have mentioned. Versatile, durable, good with longevity and noticeable without being overpowering. A signature scent for a good half the year. Def worth a try

Do every body gets a shit longevity or it is only me on which it is not lasting for more then and hour?

Beautiful sweeter EDT than most, and its not the one to get people asking what are you wearing, but people will like the way you smell, could be better on the longivity so for me because I wear it 8.5/10

I get a ginger bread feel out of this frag for some reason :S lol good for Xmas time.

Smells a lot like GA Attitude

my room smeels like incense after this parfume!!

REVIEW OF DARRSHAN

great winter fragrance, starts a little fresh but takes no time to turn into leathery woody and spicy rich fragrance, the dry down is very good, a very rich and elite winter fragrance, something really original and different, from the house of burberry. will be for a long time in the market for its qualities.

For me it smells exactly like Christmas tree but very natural one. Very nice fragrance, well done. Longevity about 6-8 hours. Decent projection. My friend said it smells like parsley and I partially can agree with him. Overall 7,5/10

The first Burberry I've liked since the original. It's quite a warm and comforting scent, not overly complex but well designed and elegant. Reminiscent of Polo: less green, sweeter and more woody/tobacco. Bit retro with a nice twist.

Never really did give the Burberry house much thought.Never thought I would like any of their fragrances either till I decided to check this out based on reviews.

I wore this to work in autumn/winter and didnt really enjoy it.It just kept disappearing and coming back every now and then.
I wore it to go shopping and same reaction.

I then wore it just before going to bed and then I really got hooked.let me just say i wear this to bed all the time in these cold days .there's something that is warm and snuggly about this fragrance that somehow soothingly sends me to sleep.that's when I really enjoy this as I take in the spices under a duvet.I have worn this to sleep more than any other fragrance and it's the only one of the burberry line I own and hope to stock up before I regret.

Longevity isnt a big problem although as others have said could be better.an edp of this will be superb.

I really cant see anyone being offended by this and really if someone does around you ,pray for them.

In my opinion, it`s a great winter scent. It works well outside or inside in colder day. I recently purchased a 100ML bottle and I`m happy aboat it, I`m wearing this cologne when I go shopping or when I visiting my relatives. On my skin lasts 5 to 7hrs which is ok. Sillage is aboat average, longevity is ok so I give a 9/10. Sorry for my english.

this fragrance is for winter only
amazing sillage and longevity in colder days poor in hot ones .
good quality and lovely smell great value
highly recommended

This cologne would be perfect as an EDP. The only negative would be it only lasts 3 to 4 hours. Still love it.....

A fresh pine tree covered in orange peel, nutmeg and booze. Excellent scent for maybe 12 days of the year ;)
Not so great longevity but the scent makes up for it.

8.5/10

Say whatever you want..this is one of the best fragrances EVER!!
I'm nearly 20 btw
It smells like Christmas and the HOLIDAYS!!!
It smells like Fall/Winter!!
It smells sophisticated and mysterious!
It's a shame it doesm't last too long :(

Sillage 7/10
Scent 8.5/10
Longevity 6/10

oh well....you can spray more if u want to add some extra longevity ^^

I am no expert in male colognes but I think this is a really good one.
It's soft, woody like pine but not overwhelmingly so, and spicy.
My friend recently ran out of this and I told him he needed to get some more ASAP! I think it's good stuff

Y'm 18 years old , y love this fragance it's a good option for me ? or is more convenient for older people?

Honestly this is the only one fragrance I have bought 8 times over..No kidding. herbs are not too pronounced in this as it has a sweet spicy aromatic undertone. Only thing I found wrong in this perfume is the longevity and that ex[plains why I run through it in little over a month!..Overall second best of all time for me.

One word: Amazing. BUT-- Only break it out during the fall/winter, unless its a semi-cold night in the spring/summer. I feel odd giving this description, but this is honestly a cologne made for sweater-wearing-weather. Women love it. You'll love it. Try a sample before buying it though, because body chemistry effects this one quite a bit. It smells terrible on my best friend but smells amazing on me. I think it's karma since the Nuit Del'Homme smells horrible on me and awesome on him. Oh well.

my brother wears this cologne and i love it. it suits him well. he also smells good in dolce and gabbana the one. he wears spicey scents well

London for Men is nice, warm and cozy, but I do not see it as a typical masculine fragrance. Instead, I get the impression it is overly sweet and delicate to such an extent that it can EASILY work as a feminine one! Call it UNISEX, if you will. I have pulled off definitely stronger men's fragrances, so I do not see any trouble wearing London for Men myself.
The note of porto is ultra prominent in this composition, which together with the delicate aroma of tobacco (probably cherry aromatized) gives an effect of CHERRY JUICE or better a CHERRY STEW! It is really mouthwatering, a bit gourmandish even, but I wish the tobacco was more powerful here to give it some "charisma".
The downsides: low sillage & average longevity
Overall: OK, universal, for cold season, but nothing groundbreaking.

REVIEW OF DARRSHAN

A TRUELY SEXY PERFUME FOR WINTER, THERE R WOODS , LEATHER, TOBACCO, SLIGHTLY SWEET AND THE DRY DOWN IS AWESOME, NOW THIS PERFUME IS NOT FOR THOSE STARTERS WHO R AFTER ARMANIS, 212, BOSS ETC.
THIS IS A FOR SOPHASTICATED PEOPLE WHO CAN CARRY THIS FRAG, THE BOTTLE IS AWESOME AND WITH GREAT COLOR COMBO. HATS OFF

my husband swears by this cologne. the only one he likes to wear all the time, apparently he gets sick of others and always goes back to this. it has a sweet, tobacco, leathery type of smell to it.

Just tested this today and I was disappointed. There were some flashes of brilliance at the start but I then suddenly got the "wet leaf/grass" smell (I guess this is what everyone refers to as the X'Mas tree note) which completely killed it for me!! It has come off my "to buy" list :(

Man, I really love this one. A perfect scent for autumn and winter. Unfortunately my wife doesn't like it (too spicey apparently). shame.

Its perfect, makes you fell in love with you self...

Fall in a bottle, but a soft defination.
Smells like an avenue in the park with wet brown leaves with cinnamon and earthy cherrys. A sweet, surprisingly natural masculine scent.

I like this one.

The notes sort of smell slightly aged in a particular malted kind of way. I get the opoponax, tobacco leaf, guaiac wood and pepper projecting with a subtle lavender/violet leaf lifting it up. It kind of smells like a wood and spice flavored candy. The scent does dull a bit in a few hours.

uno de los mejores olores de siempre, semehase parecido a attitude de armani q tambien me encanta.

Es muy original como perfume de otoño-invierno. Tiene características adictivas, creo yo, en base a su ingrediente único, el OPORTO. Eso si, mala fijación, ya que dura un par de horas. Es muy elegante y con buen desarrollo. Lo tendría como segunda opción ...

burberry london perfume smells like my grandmother would wear, thank God it was sent for a sample because it will surely give it to my grandmother, haha ...

i got hold of this frag based on reviews that it smells like its christmas. indeed, i must agree.
let me just tell you my story, when i went to the store, they dont have a tester of London.
the store sales lady informed me that a filipino well known film director is one of their avid London buyer. so considering this plus mostly positive reviews from here, i blind buy it, paid it, sprayed it thrice, one on my throat, one on my wrist, tapped with the other and one on my nape. As I was walking around through the store, observing how it will react to my skin/body, a male customer comes in, passed by on me and i heard him asking the sales lady what wonderful scent was that he smelled on his way. I smiled to myself, knowing that my purchase is all worth it. i am an asian, living in a tropical climate and glad that this frag works on my skin. London for Men scent for me is better than its limited edition. I love the top notes and heart notes, although it only last for 4 hours or less on me, still, i strongly recommend you to buy it, give it a space in your perfume collection.
I rate Burberry London for Men a 9 out of 10. for its captivating top and heart notes. if dry down isn't long lasting though im sure you will get good compliments, its ok, i take my bottle with me for a 1 or 2 respray. :)

Went to the local perfume shop and tested this on me with a friend. When we met the girls they were all over us complimenting how we smelt unique! It smells very classy and would be best to wear in the cold evening. Definitely overpowering and unsuitable for the summer.

I matched this cologne with some earthy toned clothes from my wardrobe and headed out intro the crisp winter outside with a feeling of confidence. Within minutes girls where complimenting me on the sidewalk, in the coffee shop and at the bordello on the corner 3rd and Camden that I frequent.

With hints of oakmoss, pepper and tobacco this fragrance shouts in a gravely voice "I am a man god damned it!! And I want to smell good by dousing myself in poisonous chemicals that are hazardous to my health!"

A solid recommendation for those who can't afford a classier brand such as Creed or Cartier.

at first I wasn't sure, It seemed too "gourmand" for me but as I got to trying more and more colognes, this one is a champion. Amazing projection, amazing longevity, amazing overall scent. It really grows on you . it is one of the most unique scents out there
9.5/10 for me

It's my fave autumn fragrance. I got it in the autumn and I feel most comfortable wearing it then. London is sweet, warm, comforting, enveloping and mellow. It has a note that I call 'a pharmacy note'. It's most evident at the opening and London shares it with such other scents as Pi from Givenchy and also Addict from Dior. But it may be my purely indiosyncratic view. Another thing that I love about the scent is that it lasts. It doesn't persist, it lasts. After a couple of hours it's still here .. for a moment, and then there, and here again..

Simply a marvelous fall/winter scent.

9/10

Please do let me know if anyone know the perfume with same smell and elegance... Reply is must..

To quote a famous youtube reviewer: "This is Fall in a Bottle" Think falling golden leaves, fresh cut wood, autumn tree smell, burning fire, pine. Just the woods in fall. Simply amazing for the fall and winter. I could call this the perfect christmass scent.

Overall: 9.5/10

love at first sniff... no words to elaborate the elegance of this scent... sexy and long lasting...about to finish my second bottle and ready to grab the third...

My husband wears this fragrance in cool weather only. It smells wonderful on him just like fall. It makes me think of cool wind, falling leaves, pine, woodsmoke, leather, spices and a little bit of snow. I love it!! A lot of other women do too because he is always getting compliments!

The base is perfect for cold weather on my skin. I can smell the pine for about ten minutes and it gets right down to the tobacco and leather for the rest of the day...and I mean the rest of the day. I am typing this at 9pm and it went on at 7am. The leather and tobacco are still here! I know others have had spotty longevity with this frag but it last forever on me!

It smells like wonderful, fresh cut fir trees! Most of the fragrances for men smell indistinguishable, but this one really stands out. Very, very unique, I love this scent! Not for boys, this perfume is for grown men only.

An excelent spicy oriental, with wonderful almond-like and green mimosa notes. It is not your generic cinnamon fragrance, it does remind Jaipur, but it is more restrained. A masterpiece from Burberry that became an instant classic. Longevity and projection are both very good and ladies love this scent. It embodies Christmas in a bottle.

The best yummy Christmas scent that has more than just a foody meaning. At some point, I do find it better than Jaipur EDT( that one may be too cinnamon-carnation angry, this one is also leathery floral).

I got this fragrance for £10 30 ml

its also 100% genuine

value for money this is the best cologne

out of every cologne this has to be in the top 10 of all time

This could even be niche AMAZING

9.5/10

بویه تقربا خاصی داره-نشاط آوره ولی موندگاری پایین

I get hit on all the time with this frag. It is amazing and stays a long......Time.
If you picture a secluded cabin in the winter,fireplace,bearskin rug.....You get the drift.

This scent is all about winter and Christmas season. It's all about wool scarves and gentlemanly clothing. Extremely warm fragrance that shouldn't be worn during the hot weather, mainly due to its initial strength at first, and to its high sweetness in the end. It starts off with a deep woody and leathery notes, its charm resides in the fact that these notes are put in a modern way, not that of an old grandfatherly smell. As it subsides, the tobacco note emerges little by little, and the fragrance ends with a sweet kind of cherry note, still very manly though.

I didn't have longevity problems, so I guess it depends on how it reacts with you skin. I don't really know how to describe it, except for the word British!

Definitely recommended, especially during winter.

almost perfect :)

the only negative is longevity

The top notes aren't very good but the base notes are just perfect.

i personally don't like to use it in hot weather

I love burberry fragrances but they don't last at all on my skin, sadly. I love this one, anyone know a fragrance similar to this with better longevity and projection? thanks :)

i,m shocked, i get it from a very trusted store but it,s weakkkk
i wonder, may be coz i,m using it in a very hot weather.
anybody adviceeeeee

Chrismas song, delicious pie...in winter this is cheerful and elegant... best among Burberries

Smelled this along with other divine scents. I love this one too. I swear, whenever I pick a cologne and spray it on me, it smells amazing. I've never found something that smelled good on a card and bad on me. Lol. But yes, this is something to add to your collection. There's some note in the base that has a tenacious grip on me. This is something a tempter would wear. It'll be in my collection ASAP! 10/10

this is the perfume which creates jealousity on me for being a man.everytime i smell this,i think it's a gift for being a man.
perfect smell!

As everybody says - it's like a Chrismas song, delicious pie, but it's also like homemade pullover. I can't find anything sexy in this frag, it's warm and a little bit spicy, very natural and you can wear it during family dinner or to visit your grandma. For party - check again in your callection, perhabs you'll find something better!

For those who say this is more of a cozy, cuddly fragrance than a sexy, "come and get me" one.... I'm not so sure. it may not be asking me to come get you, but you'd better bet I will. It is warm and inviting, but there is something about it that drives me insane. I want to be cozy and cuddle, after doing naughty things. I can't enough of this scent. (sadly, my husband will not wear anything scented. Boo. I've been known to dab this on my own wrist and wear it around because it's like a drug and sometimes I NEED to smell it. Love.

It's in it's own breed. Most wearable scent I have found. Leaves em guessing!

Tobacco and leather with a boozy port wine fragrance, it's Christmas in a bottle. It go's to show you do not have to spend a fortune to get a decent scent.

My opinion: This is a masterpiece. A bit of a gourmand to me, but this type of fragrance is PERFECT for Christmas time. 'Cinnabuns', port wine, pepper, warm spices, tobacco, wool scarves, etc. There is a LOT going on here, and even though it is well balanced, it seems like all the notes can also be individually smelled very easily. Winter holiday nights in a bottle. Sometimes even in the summer I spray it in the air just to sniff it! If you haven't yet, you must try this. On your skin.

"Dark elf woods." ...Perfect!

This one is truly amazing. I just can't get over how spicy it is. Very good for everyday wear and can be a signature scent.

Put this one on your skin and you will be basically saying to everybody: Hey, it's Christmas time!

Burberry London smells like pine tree mixed with spicy notes like cinnamon, and a hint of red wine. Very nice smell, but sadly it doesn't last. But this is not a thumbs down, I just wish it stays longer on my skin, since it is a pleasant smell all the way through.

Burberry does it again! My very first introduction into the Burberry line was over 10 years ago with Weekends. I sprayed a little of this at the salon to get an idea of of how it would go over with my girlfriend. Although I'm not normally drawn towards musky smiles, this dries down to a wonderful more woody spicy. It may take you by surprise at first because it can be a little potent at first. Do not spray this on right before you meet somebody. But it makes me feel very "professional" and makes for a great winter evening fragrance. No way would I wear this or touch it during the summertime. But you can imagine yourself wearing a smoking jacket, with a pipe, in your library, reciting Chaucer on a rainy or cold winter evening, this fragrance is that! Always on my shelf during wintertime. Would not wear if I was under 30 years old.

*LIKE*
When my fiance wears this, I am simply compelled to hug him.
It smells very "traditionally" masculine without smelling "geezer"
I can't tell you much about it's notes because when he's wearing it, I'm too busy enjoying it to break down the scent.

even this fragrance have a longevity issues, but it's smell so good and i'll repurchase this particular fragrance if i'm run out.

i think burberry must redo this frag as an EDP.

the opening is the shining part of this frag IMHO.

one of the top best male fragrance on my list.

longevity : 5/10
projection : 7/10
overall smell : 10/10
recommended age : 21 and up

After reading almost all reviews, let me tell u that i am about to blind buy it ahah... i'll c if i can try it 1st!

Something strange about this one is that it smells something like a blend between cherry and tobacco on my skin, pretty good fragrance though.

This fragrance defines the word "unforgettable".
Defenitly not a love at first smell but the more you'll sniff it, the more you'll fall in love with it.

Unlike many other perfumes which say: "I wanna f*** you", this one says: "I'm here for you".

longevity isn't that good but London's so awesome it doesn't matter. You must have this.

10/10.

I bought it as a bday present for my boyfriend, without sniffing it!!! It was an awsome surprise!!! I loved it since the first sniff!! It's sooo hot and sexy!! I'm only a bit disappointed about its longevity :((( it doesn't last that long! what a pity ;(!

I bought it cause of the hype. Openening is good but I it doesn't seem to click with me. Lasts a long, have not gotten a single compliment with it.

Everybody says it is a fall/winter frag. Yes it is. I mean it smells like a fall/winter frag. Longevity and projection sucks in those 2 seasons.
Well i tried it yesterday (23.05.2011), longevity way better. Yesterday was a warm day here, about 29C. Simply, i tried to wear it but it was too strong for me, too sweet, too ... i don't know.
Anyway longevity sucks in cold days, and triumphs in warm days.

As I promised, I tested it on hot weather, shortly result is GREAT! Longevity and projection is much better, cherry or vine sweetness is stronger so there isn't only christmas tree scent. Definitely London could be the all season perfume.

Excellence, Elegance, Burberry London

If you are looking for: sex, get laid, hot, sexy, erotic, arousal, lusty, nasty, naughty…etc Then you are in the wrong place.
If you are looking for: Love, feelings, emotions, affection, adorable, lovely, falling in love, intimate, familiar, cozy, warm, friendly, maturity…etc Then you sir/miss are in the place where you want to be.
------------------------------------
I fell for BB London from the spray on my wrist. It was one of those few perfumes that shook me to my core. The depth & warmth of it evoked so many memories, although it was the first time I smelled something like this. So natural. Not fruity or so herbal though.
If I could describe London in one word, it would be "cozy".
This fragrance is what I wear when I want to feel good. When I want to be myself, to allow myself to relax. I actually put it on after whenever I take a shower. Although it would be better if you wear BBL at night.
A scent for the winter & the fall. A scent when you walk down a road in one of those cold days of the fall, the brown & red leaves on the ground, falling around. The cold breeze hits your face while you hold on to your wool coat.
---------------------------------------
The scent starts immediately with a deep, heavy woody smell. Not the sharp smells that is of an old fragrance, not at all. Beautiful, calm, natural, somewhat leathery. The tobacco doesn’t take much before it starts to appear. It even adds more depth & warmth.
What lasts, eventually, some kind of sweet woody, smoky, cherry smell. Masculine though, & still as deep & rich.

Putting on a Burberry London is a warm experience full of emotions.

---------------------------------------
Its longevity is poor in a hot weather & moderate-to-long in a cold one. So is the sillage. I don't recommend a lot of sprays at once. Maximum 3-4 sprays on your nick.

Be Yourself !

All time classic and probably the best winter/holiday fragrance on the market. Buy it and love it.

Very pleasant smell, it smells exactly like fresh Christmas thee, at the beginning little sweet like cherry. Very relaxing perfume, safe for gifts.
But on me has major longevity problem! Few hours and that's it! I will try it in summer, I think it will be good and longer lasting.

Too synthetic. Dry and aggressive. It seems nice at first but when you wear it it never settles down. Seems like you could spray it on a dog and it would smell the same way. Overpowering and chemical.

London has a great scent but the longevity is unfortunately very weak. If you love a woodsy aroma smell this is perfect for you. I can't see myself wearing this cologne during the day but it suits me perfectly for going out on a cool night wearing a light jacket.

Suit only frag.

9/10

Must have it!!!

Nice smell indeed.

But with such weak projection and longevity I really don't know when is the best time to use this scent...

Summer, and you smell like a Xmas tree. Winter and no one can really smell you!

These are the warm, slightly sweet, quite delicious smells of pipe tobacco and smoke (these are strong), port wine, leather and wool.

It actually took a few days to grow on me, but now I like it a lot. It's a nice, interesting, clearly male scent that I see best fit for guys over 25, cooler days and casual occasions.

There are basically two fragrances here. One is the same that is in Cuba Red, which is dry, at least slightly synthetic, woody, and spicy. The other is dominated by a sweet vanillic element that includes a "port wine" note. The "problem" is that the port wine thing doesn't always seem to last that long, and you are then left with something close to Cuba Red. This is why I can't give it an altogether positive review (and also because I find it too sweet, at least for a while). The Cuba Red type of thing lasts a long time, but with modest (at best) projection/"sillage." I swapped mine off, but I kept a bottle of Cuba Red, though I don't wear it often. I'd rather just get to the drydown, rather than be teased with compelling notes that don't last long. If you don't like London all that much (let's say the port wine thing isn't for you), but do like the idea and want something more complex than Cuba Red (and cheap), I suggest trying Samba Heat for Men. For something a little more expensive, I suggest Acteur (though Acteur goes in a floral rather than gourmand direction).

Excellent scent. Wearing this on the friday evenings, when hanging out with my friends in some classy, trendy bar, drinking Jameson, talking, and having fun. It suits also some kind of wedding/funeral/someone of my big family celebrates b-day occasions. You will need to wear some shirt or something although, it just fits those fall days, when you are going from the office or a university, take your usual coffee at Starbucks, then go home, and at the evening go out with your friends, or just visit your friend at their place, drinking wine, and smelling this perfume. Definitely like it !

like every other guy, i really like this. i agree it smells like xmas, but it also smells like a night out with the guys at your favorite little corner bar and grill. a great scent, very masculine and strong.
my wife is not a fan. i sprayed it on one morning and she said the smell of it woke her up, and kept her up long after i left for work. but not kept her up in a good way, more of an annoying way. :(
too bad, i really like it, maybe i can wear it every once in a while.

Well isn't this just a fantastic lil ditty by the one house I thought would ne'er surprise me!?
Instantly fell in love with this scent. It's clean, spicy, exquisite, elegant, romantic, extraordinarily striking fragrance, very handsome devil.
This is the true definition of a handsome smell.
Bergamot is under subtle, which is a good place to be for a scent like this.
I love this ultra-peppery, floral opening as much as I love the leathery heart, but having gauaic wood, oakmoss and tobacco in the base is just icing on the cake. I can actually smell each of my favorite notes in this scent.

This will be another gorgeous addition to my night time collection.

When I received my brother tried and immediately shout: looks like Azzaro. I know. It have been a long time since we both smelled Azzaro. So to translate better that thought: a somewhat traditional scent. Except for the "traditional scent" feeling, the difference are very clear. Probably one wouldn't compare both. Well, about London, it is a smooth scent. It's so wrong to say a "suede" feeling since we are talking about perfumes not clothes? It also feels like if had been made to looks respectable, formal and discrete. For sure it is more for mild temperatures than for hot weathers. And again, I don't get a clear tobacco note. There is something during its first moments that I don't like that is hard to describe right now. But overall is a good scent.

Well,this is very nice winter fragrance!
Longevity and sillage arn't good for me ,about 3 to 4 hours.
I get lot of pepper and woods with sweetness.
Very warm and unique.
The only similarity is he wood silver wind wood from dsquard2.
It reminded me of wearing wool scarf in rainy day.

Wonderful, wonderful fragrance. Spices, sweet wine, woods. Simply one of the best comfort scents out there. Warm fragrance that makes your girl want to cuddle with you. I can definitely see why some people call this "christmas in a bottle". One of my favorite fragrances and BY FAR the best Burbery offering on the market

Scent: Great comfort scent. Very warm and inviting;8
Projection:Projects okay for the first couple of hours, but this is the kind of fragrance that you want close to your skin;7.5
Longevity:Ive heard people have longevity problems with this, but not too bad on me. 5-7 hours. 8

FINAL GRADE: 7.8/10

in my opinion there are two kinds of perfumes: perfumes that are unique and they have there own character and perfumes that are common, repeated and have no character.
Burberry london IMO belongs to the first category, a perfume with character,there are tons of spicy-sweet fragarnces, but london has something special that makes it different and unique. it is a super refreshing oriental fragrance and i think that this refreshing factor what makes burberry london so lovable.
I love it ......but i wished if it has more sillage

incredible......seriously I can't think of a better cologne for cold days. very natural smelling its basically xmas trees and port wine with a little leather. gorgeous scent.

great masculin fragrance 10/10

Burberry (or I must say "BurBORING")never made a fragrance that satisfy me completly. This one is not exception. In a few words, London smells like a "fresh christmas pine" with a lot of wood, some spices and some boozy notes, nothing more, nothing less. It`s original, but nothing groundbreaking. Maybe too naive for my tastes.
Btw, longevity and projection are not its high points. 2 hours of longevity and keeps close to the skin all the time.

5/10

Well, there's something very agressive and annoying in this scent. Definately masculine and seriuos, but for me it's not inviting at all.
Luckily, I bougth this very cheap but just couldn't get used to it, too weird and not pleasant.

Sorry, my nose might just not be refined enough to appreciate this but it smells like what a dad would wear. It's too boozy for me. :(

My story with Burberry London is quite simple, lets say: love at first sniff. When i first smelled this miracle, i really didn't know anything about it (obviously, what a surprise), it was an average stuff, but i liked it so i bought it. When i arrived home and had the time to try it substantially.. this is where it started for me - i fell in love immediately.

This scent starts with a peppery feeling, with a little bergamot in the background. It's not heavy at all, the floral notes make it sweet (don't worry, it's not feminine at all!) and enjoyable, i mostly recognize the violet leaf. Later, the leather and the tobacco starts to come forward, but it's still sweet and peppery a little, very well balanced. The woodsy note is irrelevant for me in this scent, i hardly recognize it, such as the oakmoss. The leather and mostly the tobacco lasts almost till the end, but the flowers still give a sweet kind of feel to it - it's very hard to make a distinction between the levels of the drydown. Sometimes it smells like cherry and red wine combo with tobacco, it's heaven. When you look at the notes - i see - you imagine something heavy, but it's not, and that's why i like this fragrance very much.

I recommend London for men between age 20-30, maybe if you're 18-19 and (here comes the important part!) you dress smartly (e.g. from Zara, if you know what i mean), you can easily wear it, but it's better for "older" gentlemen. It's definitely not for 15 years old highschool kids, it's heavy for them and that audience don't appreciate that type of smell, i'm sure. Good for everyday use, for a date or wear it with suit and go to dinner, you know. It's not a party fragrance at all, too subtle and intelligent for that kind of use. Only for the cold weather, winter and maybe for autumn. Longevity is great, it lasts almost all day on my dry skin.

About the price: it's a designer fragrance, so nothing special, it's in the middle range, easily affordable and worth every penny. Personally, i can imagine a higher price for that (it's high-quality, why not?), becouse it smells expensive. The bottle is nice with this wool something around it (the box has a wool tag too, but just in the front, not around the entire box - very classy), reminds me of a gift wrapped with fancy paper, and it's not a coincidence: it's a real gift!

A lot of people talk about a "christmas feeling" in it. I don't like christmas very much (what a shame, yeah, i know) but it's pleasant that this smell reminds me of a christmas tree, you know, when you eating gingerbread and drinking cocoa with a little hint of cinnamon. Basically, is there anybody in this entire world who doesn't love this feeling? You know the answer.

This is one of my all-time favourites, so i can't write anything but it's a must-have in every collection. The best from the Burberry house, very unique. If your bottle runs out, you will run until you find a shop and buy a bottle. Actually, it feels bad not to have it. Helps you to get through the cold winter mornings and makes those days warmer.

The most British perfume ever!
Among Burberry perfumes I vote 10 to this one.
It's hot and friendly and provides cozy and trustful sense. It evokes polite masculine adultness. Reminds British old fashion TV series. Those thick coats, hats, boots, and wool pullovers.
The best perfume I advise for autumn and misty sold days, because of its intensely nostalgic and friendly mood.Also one of the best for Christmas and Thanksgiving.
For me it also remind Sherlock Holmes, British crime detective and his exciting stories.
There is something strange in the perfume and it's a background smell of cherry or sour cherry. It makes it cute and lovely and earthy, makes it hopeful and motivative.
I suggest indoor more than outdoor although its longevity and sillage are both perfect, only because providing coziness! And also I suggest summer nights but 2 or 3 spray is enough, its waxiness bothers in hot weather.

longevity 7/10
sillage 10/10
scent 10/10

On my skin:
Top: Ah, Burberry London, Cinnamon + nutmeg + warm spices + creamy like scent....I don't know what they put inside but this.... this is so, so, so appealing, I have this scent for almost 6 HOURS!!!!

Middle: Not much changes here, literally the scent just stays the same 1-2 hours mark.

Base: Oh, here's something special, sweet-wood-tobaccoy scent. 1-2 hours

Complements across the board (90% likes, 10% hates). Good riddance!!!

This to me is a gentlemen smell. Its warm, its appealing at the same time, people will feel calm and....happy with you when your on this.

When I am getting married, I will wear this. Every time I scent this, it brings back good ol' times of my life. What I was when I was a kid, when I was in high school, my work, the bitter-sweet memories just lingers on my mind.

NO, this is not a clubbing scent, people will hate you when you use this in the clubs. This is a professional, sophisticated scent where people know you are close to your parents.

Perfumers take note:

PLEASE! MAKE THIS OFTEN! MAKE SOMETHING LIKE THIS OFTEN! STOP MAKING AQUATICS Y'ALL! AND STOP SUGAR SMELL ON MEN!

WHERE'S THE JAMES BOND-JOSH DUHAMEL SMELL when you need one!

This is a BUY. But different people has different skin chemistry. I heard some getting 3 hours, so be careful, always try on your skin.

The country I am in has no 4 seasons, so it is either hot or cold weather. This is all rounder, jack of all trades fragrance to me!!!!

My rating (base on 5 stars)

Scent: 5 (as unique as it gets).

Sillage: 3-4 (whiffs, walking pass by people, hugging, people will welcome you with a warm heart).

Time length: 5 (I get 8-9 hours, heck the time length is just right).

Occasion: 4 (All rounder, but not for clubbing to me).

Overall base on mathematics: 4.25 @ 4.5/5

A perfume which I used to have, and now I am waiting for the gift set with the shower gel =)

New discovery.Very sensual,stylish & masculine.Green & chypre notes create a great men's fragrance.Highly recommended.

Great perfume, smoky and masculine. But somehow it is too strong for me :(

it's a unique fragrace, i don't know how to describe the scent... it belongs to heaven...

I really don't know what the hype is about this fragrance. To some guys it is thought to be the best thing since sliced bread.

It is simple wood spice that has been done before in the past but most are maybe too young to recall.

The scent has horrible lasting power for it is so watered down and really no sillage at all.

I'll pass -

..this one reacts great on me...doesn't smells ''OLD'' at all...but it turns out to be really youthful fragrance...sweet and warm tobacco leather smells, the smells that makes you feel cosy during winter time lying-in-front-of-the-heater-with-thick--blanket-on feeling.... this one only for the real men to try...great job Burberry!

Have you ever seen the scented pine cones at christmas time well Burberry London is like wearing a bag of those around you neck all day. Its Great for a date or just a day out and you won't break the bank when you buy it.
I would say that this Fragrance Lasts about 6 hours on average.
I would give Burberry London a 8.5/10

Love it but it dosent last long!! 4hrs on me. 3.5/5

I was really expecting more from London since Brit is something that I find very elegant.
This one is weak, no sillage, no longevity, no nothing. Even if I stick my nose to my wrist I hardly can smell something. A total deception and I wanted to buy this blind. Glady that I didn't.

From me 3* out of 5.

I absolutely love this, its remarkable stuff. Smells cosy and christmassy. Must be the cinnamon and port combo... reminds me of mulled wine!

I hope this never gets discontinued.

Nice opening but drydown is very subtle and warm with lots of pepper and woody notes. though its vey unique fragrance but maybe not liked by everyone. it is for winter don't try to apply it in the summer. Great bottle and packaging. Mature and classy!
average sillage and longevity.
I give it 7.8 out of 10.

Hi.

My advice to you this is never miss chance acquaintance with a new fragrance though if You dont like it brand because i am not lover BURBERRY fragrances style but indeed LONDON is a exclusion However it gives me Headache!

At a just scrutiny this masculine EDT is Attractive and Wonderful.Deep and Smoky.Starts Strong&Spicy a loud fragrance and pretty ordinary too but the change is Dramatic in Middle/Base notes as it is for me the most interesting part this one.The base is Warm and Extremely Woody due to Tobacco and guaiac wood.

LONDON is Heat in the middle of Winter.It is strong seduce enough to be wear during Evening out.Perfect for wearning it with a Leather Coat.Great for a Smart man who likes to feel Wonderful and Bold Then i recommend 100% to test before buy!

Sillage?A huge Sillage will be your partner during night.

Longevity?Above average on my skin.

7/10

First of all, women love it. This is so elegant with spicy sweetness. Gentleman's fragrance for sure. Love its boozy effect! The base reminds me of soft papyrus or rice... So sophisticated! (it must be the tobacco leaf).

For winter, this is perfect. Smells like Christmas!

Reminds me a little of Tom Fords Tobacco Vanille for some reason. They have the same 'feel'.

Love this one. Its my signature autumn/winter scent.

In my opinion this is a beautiful blend. It is not immediately striking as a unique scent - but in its lifetime the complexity with some nice olfactory contrasts (aromatic elements, greens, wood, leather, spices, sweetness, amber...) is gradually revealed. Those contrasts are not pushed to extremes, they are rather having a polite conversation - and that gives this scent its character. The composition is not based strongly on any of the single components of the blend. The experience is pleasant, undeniably masculine and very, very smooth from the first spritz to the faint remains in clothes.

Used by light hand this is great, lively but sophisticated everyday scent. Definitely one of my favorites of widely available men's fragrances.

Pretty boring for a spicy oriental. When I think Spicy Oriental, I think edgy, deep and sensual.
Burberry London is pretty basic and safer than most mainstream aquatics.
If you want something a little nicer from the Burberry line, look for Burberry For Men (1995).

My favorite cologne ever. It has a very distinct and unique scent. It smells like berries, but still manly. It's an amazing combination.

Arguably Burberry's best but let's be frank: there are soooooo many better fragrances.
Call me a snob but the cutting edge still have all the big French houses: Guerlain, Chanel, Dior, Cartier, Boucheron, Gaultier, and a few others.
Burberry is a very commerical British fashion house, not a fragrance maker ;-)

One other thing:

I sprayed it on myself today at 07 am before work and now at 14:15 i still can feel it in a wonderful way.

Men, buy this blind for fall through spring, and women get this for your man. DO IT. Yummy to any nose. Spray on each wrist and both pulse points as it doesn't last. Get ready for compliments.

It was a blind buy for me but now i am in love with it.
I got so many compliments from this one, and my girlfriend likes it on me a lot.


9.5/10

I was eager to test Burberry London for Men as a potential purchase for my boyfriend, who is a rather heavy smoker. Unfortunately this fragrance didn't suit him, however I am quite captivated by the scent.

Burberry London smells like the ideal man to me. Masculine, strong, fierce and sophisticated.

This fragrance is certainly spicy, but not in a nose-burning, Indian cuisine type sense. It's more peppery and herbaceous.

In the opening, the violet leaf, lavendar and bergamot create a somewhat soothing and aromatic quality, however the pepper note insists on making this fragrance masculine and strong.

The introduction of mimose in the heart is actually really unique in the way that it adds a little sweetness along with the smooth yet sexual scent of leather. Despite the sweetness, Burberry London has rugged appeal.

Although I am not a smoker myself, the scent of tobacco puts me at ease. I love the way my boyfriend smells; like smokey tobacco, mint-flavoured chewing gum, musty clothes and fruit-scented hair gel. The drydown in a way reminds me of him. It has a very smokey, musty and woodsy quality that I wouldn't mind wearing myself.

With that being said, although Burberry London is essentially a very masculine fragrance, a woman could perhaps succeed in wearing it. It would take the right kind of woman however.

I love this fragrance for the fall/winter time, or any cool night/day. I've seen the special edition rubber bottles and I always thought that they were the same juice, they smell the same to me. Awesome scent that is so cozy and warming. Not really spicy in my eyes, at least not in the "Polo Green" spicy-ness sense. I saw it in Ross for $28 for a 1.7oz bottle, I should have gotten it...damn

Lavender and violet leaves strike my nose instantly every time I press the spray. Very pleasant, sweet and spicy at the same time but not cloying at all ☻

This is one of the most elegant woody fragrance I ever smelt ☻

IMHO, formal dress goes pretty well with this fragrance as it has a maturity into it. Burberry London is a pretty unique scent in my cllection.

Longevity is minimum of 6 hours on my skin. Sillage is rather decent. Tobacco leave and oak moss drydown is fascinating to my nose.

Wonderful British gentlemen scent

This is by far the most frustrating fragrance to me. It's not that I dislike the scent or it doesn't last on me. It's just that I don't smell anything at all! All I notice is a tiny bit of spices and that's it, but that's not so terrible. The frustrating part comes from the fact that everyone else around me (and a lot of people over the internet) feels a wonderful fragrance. This scent and my nose just don't connect and I feel I'm missing a great perfume...

This is absolutely my FAVORITE fragrance on my fiance! I am trying to get him into colognes by growing his repertoire, the way i am into perfumes. This reminds me of when we 1st staring dating, and were going out alot more frequently the the goth club where we met. Such good memories associated and it just smells so sexy on him I just want to bite his neck all night... ;-)

just got my honey this perfume and i must say it delicious.i was totally relying on the sales guy on this one but after i took a whiff i was totally bought. it smells woody and warm. try this one guys...i looking forward to him wearing it. so i hope he likes it as much as i do!

just got it today. Opening is very sweet but the dry down is exellent with the leather and tobbaco but the only problem it dosent last that long on my skin so i'll give a 7 out of 10. Overall, a definite winter cologne and the dry down brings to the mind all one cud think of an autumn eve out with ur love at your fav spot somewhere deep in the forest..... ROMANTIC.

I prefer this one to the women version! It's interesting how London for Men balances heat with freshness; most men's fragrances try to go for one or the other, but London plays up the interaction between the two halves of the dichotomy. The opening has fresh elements (citrusy bergamont, clean white pepper, herbal lavendar), but there's something DIRTY down there. Blame it on the leather. But also something grassy and sooty, almost like tarragon. Mossy and animalic and fresh. Me likey.

such a wonderful scent!!! spicy tobacco all the way!!! love it!!!

I was steering clear of Burberry because of its "chav" connotations in UK. However a Perfum Sprayer caught me unaware and the resulting explosion in my nasal canals had me hooked. It's fresh and manly, clean and citrousy. My face would be constantly burrowed in the man's neck who was wearing this.

This is charming elegant fragrance
The first notes are green like a fresh cuted grass, but later developed into opposite smell, brown, warm, skin heating essence
It has felling like sitting in a smokey Jazz Bar in winter
The base reminds me of Intuition by Estee Lauder and its long lasting

This don't have a great longevity nor sillage BUT is a great scent. Maybe too many people wearing it so it's not original anymore like it was 3 years ago.

edit: I love this one more now. It's a grower on me, and I love peppery-leathery-tea with a touch of lavender... Amazing stuff for a mass market fragrance!


9/10 (from 8 to 9)

if it has a city name its a total club scent this is definately high end unique sexy and very masculine and PERFECT for going out i strongly reccomend it

It smells of manhood,real male!
Its spicy and hs leathertones in it ,but its not overwhealming at all, just plain good. Like a perfume of men should smell . Its rich and aromatic.

I can't describe this because it's such a weird parfume .. but very luxurious, complex, smooth, sexy and soft as a silk. I can't smeel the mimosa flower! and the leather smells distinct. What can I say ? ... I wish it could be more stronger especially the base notes .. by the way, it's one of the best fragrances I have, even if I wear it every day :)

Wow! Now this is a WONDERFUL scent. It's so luxurious. It's smooth. Very smooth. Think George Clooney smooth in Ocean's Eleven. Brad Pitt wouldn't wear this. He wouldn't pull it off kinda thing. You know?

It doesn't scream. It's not loud. It swoons. It ain't Smokey Robinson. It ain't Frank Sinatra. It's Barry White.

The leather, the tobacco oh god. The real differentiator here is the oakmoss, oppomax and mimose. It's smooth yet there's no chocolate, coffee or any vanilla. They would've ruined the scent. It's manly smooth. It's calm. It's in no rush. It's rich in aroma.

It doesn't say look at me, i'm rich and i'm a business kingpin. It's says hello, how was your day.

It's not a classic smell. It's modern yet classy smelling. Definetly night time wear. Definetly cold weather. ... well I guess it can be worn during the day in winter though...

Problem for is longevity. But probably my favorite smell. A masterpiece.

The more I smell this, the more I'm in love! This is a great fragrance. I think they put someting in it to stir up good memories and good times. Makes me feel like a man with a story to tell.

F A N T A S T I C!!!! This pefume embobodies the best notes for one of the best winter scents, EVER!!!!

Amazing indeed. My skin hardly might retain a perfume for a long time and this one appeared to be very long lasting and stable.

I wore it tonight in the party and got compliments! :-) The leather and fresh tobacco are my very favorite notes in it, though I do hate smoking as well! :-) First it smells a bit like cherry and the musky dry down turns out to be a really divine and miraculous thing.

It's great for the cool humid weather, just like London. I always feel the British luxury as I smell this fragrance. When wearing this scent, I always imagine a Jaguar sedan with leather seats in a cool humid cloudy day in downtown London... :-)

Price is really amazing: wonderful artwork, such a brand and great lasting power, with a very acceptable price.

And finally, the fabric finishing of the bottle is pretty attractive and classic.

This fragrance is very subtle. The first time I sprayed it on I could barely smell it, so I gave it another squirt. The notes started to emerge on the second spray. I smell the tobacco and spice mainly in this one. I cannot detect the pepper. For me this is not very potent - it is nice enough but not earth shattering.

Give me a memory of a man sitting on his granpas rockin chair and reading a nice novel. Great scent for the cold nights. That hint of tobacco on the dry down makes it very unique. Its my best from Burberry.

In fact this is very nice fragrance, the only problem is that pepper note must be refined which is so intense and burns my nose.
On the other hand i get very delicious cherry accord when dries down.

I was Intrigued by the comments on this site and thought that maybe it would be a great present for father day, so I decided to give it a try in the duty free shop... what a great perfume!! Very very warm, masculine and elegant, thanks to those wonderful tobacco and LEATHER notes. I liked it so much that I decided to keep it for myself and bought my old man a bottle of Johnnie Walker :D

This is a fragrance for winter or any cold weather. It last around 6-10 hours and any age can wear it. To me it's a forest scent very earthy. The top is very warm and inviting, the middle is the more relaxed and mellow part, the base is very grassy and natural as if you were running in a dark forest

this is the best fragrance for me
out there in my opinion

it kinda reminds me of having family round at christmas LOL

its very nice and warm too! and also last long as well which is a bonus

Its so masculine...
Really sweet at the top notes.
Warm my body when I apply it. And its really chick magnet!

But overall, the scent doesn't long lasting enough to make my woman happy!
Too bad for the good hit like this.

masculine and potent. It smells a lot of tobacco. My favorite from Burberry.

Reading the highly rated reviews about Burberry London, I was skeptical at first, but I decided to try it anyway.
I must confess that I was wrong for having been skeptical.

The first whiff is unremarkable, 15 minutes later, it is woodsy, and woodsy and then more woodsy.

15 more minutes, and the reason for all this raving reviews becomes apparent. This is one of the far better men's cologne I have ever put my hands on in a long time.

My advice, buy it without hesitation, it is woodsy, refreshingly minty. But more importantly, and for what it offers, it is one of the more reasonably priced cologne on the market today; well worth three times the small price it commands.

I love this scent its so long lasting which is key for me...
Classic one ra here!

Oh, no! I hate to hear that this is being discontinued! This is my husband's favorite scent, and I really like it myself. It is woodsy- piney, almost- without smelling like a lumberjack. The spices and leather balance the woods out well, and make this an intensely elegant scent.

Burberry London is my fiance's fragrance, and my favorite male fragrance.

It's bookish and woodsy without being too spicy. It smells like leather, old books, and apple cider on chilly autumn days. Intelligent, but not arrogant or assuming.

My only complaint that it's inappropriate for summer and spring, as it's a little heavy. Nevertheless, it's still my favorite.

Burberry London is my top choice for formal wear in winter. Over my skin it lasts long whole day with prominent silage. Spicy opening with a touch of citrus, heart is fruity but not sweet because of leather notes; dry down is very woody and warm with a hint of tobacco.

As time goes using this perfume, i am convinced that London for men is the male equivalent of the female perfume Angel from Thierry Mugler, they are very alike !!!

so good perfum for night spicy and very strong gerls love it,i think its the best 1 of burberrys perfumes

It is a good perfume but not fit for me!

I really like the bottom notes, very warm and intense, a bit sweet and elegant.

But it is quite difficult for me to stand the top ones...too aromatic, it seems to me to smell like a pine tree...

Good but not for me!

An intensive aromatic scent with juicy herbs in the dark elf woods, the woods from the Lord of the Ring story. I like it very much, but it is not a scent for everybody.

great masculin fragrance way better than Brit men. Has similarities with Eue de cartier Concentre IMO.

My absolute favorite on a man, and I've smelled many. Balsamic opening mellows to a smooth tobacco/leather drydown. The spices are sexy and comforting at the same time. I live in New England, and it reminds me of the smell of autumn here. Unmistakably masculine--nothing unisex about London. Rugged yet elegant men (like Sean Connery and Liam Neeson) would wear this well.

Totally agree with promoscanner. Great for going out in the evening.

A little strong for day to day use, but perfect for a date on a cool, fall night.

Comes on very spicy, but quickly warms to a softer, caramel scent as you wear it.

It took some time but it become one of my the most loved fragrances. My darling associates it with "Elf woods" but for me its like fresh new wool suit, shirt... something elegant. I like it because it is warm :)
