"I was very skeptical to order from this website because this is my first time and the price was wow! But I'm a believer now. The perfume is the real deal, I can't believe the value I got for the price I paid. They have a new customer here!"
Cindy Hart, verified PerfumeBox buyer
Mini sizes are genuine Burberry miniatures. The Burberry variety 4-piece mini set lets you test fragrances from both the classic and modern lineups before committing to a full bottle.
Classic Burberry or Modern Burberry?
Most buyers searching for Burberry fragrance don't realise they're choosing between two completely different scent identities. Here's the split.
Classic Burberry (2000s lineup): Brit, Touch, Weekend, London, Brit Sheer. Built on cedar, sandalwood, and clean musks. The restraint is deliberate. These are fragrances you don't think about much — you just keep buying them.
Modern Burberry (2016 onwards): My Burberry, Burberry Her, Hero, Goddess. A completely different brief. My Burberry is rose and jasmine inspired by a British garden in the rain. Burberry Her opens with red berries. Hero is clean cedar-metallic. These fragrances have a clear identity. They're recognisable in a way the classic lineup isn't.
If you associate Burberry with British heritage and plaid, you probably want the classic lineup. If you know the brand from its recent runway direction, the modern lineup is what you're thinking of.

"I have been wearing Burberry for years, will not do without. Purchased 3.4 at an absolute great price. Packaging, service and delivery, outstanding!"
Veronica Brozowski, verified PerfumeBox buyer
Launched in 2000 and still the bestselling Burberry cologne on PerfumeBox. White pepper and cardamom open dry and spiced, cedarwood and musky amber settle into the base. It sits close to skin, projects quietly, and lasts 6 to 8 hours.
"This cologne is perfect for all men of any age. It has a very pleasant and mild scent, not too overpowering, and has lasted for a long time and continues to be one of my favorites."
William Beever, verified PerfumeBox buyer
Who should skip Burberry Touch EDT: Anyone wanting a fragrance that projects or makes a statement. Touch is built for quiet, close-to-skin wear. If you want presence, Burberry Brit or London EDT are the better call.
The fragrance most people associate with Burberry cologne. Cedar, bergamot, tonka bean, and amber. A hint of warmth without going sweet. Nothing polarising about it. If someone says "Burberry cologne" without specifying, this is almost always what they mean.
Warmer and spicier than Brit. Vetiver, patchouli, tobacco in the base. Better for evenings and cooler months. Less versatile than Brit but more interesting. The right choice when Brit feels too mild.
Fresh and light. Bergamot and cedar with a clean woody dry-down. The most casual fragrance in the classic men's lineup. Built for exactly the occasion the name describes.
The Classic Burberry Lineup for Women
Browse all women's fragrances at PerfumeBox.
The best-reviewed product in the classic women's lineup. Pear and bergamot open fresh, almond milk and tonka bean soften the middle, vanilla and sandalwood anchor the base. Warm, slightly sweet, long-wearing. The EDP sits richer and lasts longer than the original Brit EDT. The kind of fragrance that gets noticed without being loud.
Who should skip Burberry Brit EDP: Anyone who prefers clean, fresh profiles. The almond milk and tonka combination makes the dry-down noticeably sweet. For a lighter Brit, the
Brit EDT or
Brit Sheer EDT keep the same profile without the sweetness.
The lighter version. Mandarin blossom and yuzu, light florals, clean musk. Low sillage by design. For situations where the Brit EDP would project too much, or for warmer months when a heavier fragrance becomes uncomfortable.
Peach and blackcurrant open fruity, rose and jasmine in the middle, sandalwood and musk underneath. Softer and more feminine than the men's Weekend. Good for spring and summer when something lightweight works better than the richer EDPs.
White pepper, freesia, iris, cedarwood. The most understated women's fragrance in the classic lineup. Sits close to skin. A fragrance for anyone who finds most women's perfumes too heavy or too sweet.
The Modern Burberry Lineup
The entry point to the My Burberry sub-line. Pomegranate, apple blossom, rose. Light, feminine, easy to wear. Less intense than My Burberry or My Burberry Black. If you want a soft floral without committing to the richer bottles in the line, Blush is where to start.
"I've been looking for a much cheaper price on this perfume. I was skeptical when purchasing but to my surprise it was a good size and a good price. The scent is very soft and nice. It lasts in my hair all day as well giving a nice fragrance for my skin."
Micha, verified PerfumeBox buyer
The centrepiece of the modern women's lineup. Rose and sweet pea, inspired by a wet British garden. Bergamot and geranium up front, then rose and jasmine, then a woody patchouli base. More depth than Blush, more warmth than most floral EDPs. Better for cooler months.
The darkest of the trio. Peach blossom and rose into amber and sandalwood. Stronger projection, better longevity, more of an evening fragrance than the other My Burberry bottles.
Red berries, jasmine, musk. It opens bright and fruity, settles close to skin after the first hour, and lands on a clean musk base. Longevity runs 5 to 7 hours.
Who should skip Burberry Her EDP: Anyone who finds red fruit openings too sharp. The first 30 minutes are berry-forward before it settles. To skip the fruity top notes,
Burberry Her Intense EDP opens warmer and stays warmer from the start.
Same DNA as Burberry Her, reworked for longer wear and cooler weather. The berry opening is less prominent. The woody musk base is more present from the start. Better for autumn and winter evenings than the original.
Lavender, warm vanilla, soft amber base. The lavender here isn't herbal or sharp — it blends into the vanilla in a way that makes the whole thing feel rounded and soft rather than cologne-like. If you've spent years in the Burberry Her or Light Blue territory, Goddess will be the biggest departure you've tried from this brand. Long-wearing, low-projection, built for close wear.
The modern benchmark for Burberry men's. Juniper, cardamom, cedarwood. Opens sharp and green, dries into clean wood, finishes with a warm vetiver base. Less sweet than most designer men's launches from the last five years. The cedar-juniper combination gives it a cool, distinctly contemporary character.
The highest review count among the modern men's lineup. Ginger, cedar, vetiver. Clean, dry, citrus-fresh with no sweetness. The best everyday option in the modern Burberry men's lineup. More personality than Burberry Brit, less occasion-specific than Hero EDP.
Who should skip Mr. Burberry Indigo EDT: Anyone expecting something rich or warm. It's a clean, cool fragrance. For warmth and depth, the
Hero EDP or
Mr. Burberry EDP are the better choices.

Is Burberry a Luxury Brand?
Burberry makes luxury fashion. The perfume is not luxury. A 3.4 Oz bottle runs $50 to $110, which is the same price band as Armani, Versace, and Calvin Klein. That's premium designer fragrance: better construction than mass-market, real quality in the formula, but nowhere near the pricing of Tom Ford, Creed, or niche houses.
Most people asking this question found a Burberry fragrance for less than expected. The reason is simple. The fashion house charges luxury prices for coats and leather goods. The fragrance line is priced where the designer fragrance market actually sits. Brit EDP, Burberry Her, and Mr. Burberry Indigo are well-made fragrances at fair prices. Nothing more needs to be said about the value.
How Burberry Compares
Both are light, easy-wear women's fragrances that attract buyers who want something fresh rather than heavy floral. Daisy is softer and more transparent, built around a simple white musk and violet leaf combination. Burberry Her has more character from the red berry opening, which makes it more distinctive but also more polarising. If you're buying for someone else, Daisy is the lower-risk choice. If you're buying for yourself and you like the red fruit category, Her is more interesting.
Two clean, well-made daily men's fragrances at a comparable price point. Armani Code leans warmer, with more guaiac wood and tonka in the base, which helps it carry through cooler months. Mr. Burberry Indigo is drier and more citrus-forward, with ginger and cedar keeping it cool and contemporary. Code is the safer all-season choice. Indigo is at its best from spring through autumn. Which is better comes down to skin chemistry and the season you wear fragrance most.
Both are soft, warm women's EDPs that have been consistent sellers for over 15 years. Romance is more floral, with a prominent rose and violet combination. Brit EDP is warmer and slightly sweeter, with almond milk and tonka giving it a softer, more enveloping finish. Brit EDP tends to appeal to buyers who find Romance too traditionally floral. Both are reliable and both make safe gifts when you know the recipient likes warm, soft profiles.
Burberry Gift Sets at PerfumeBox
The Burberry Her 2-piece gift set and My Burberry Blush 3-piece are the most practical women's gift choices. The included body product consistently comes up in reviews as what makes the set feel considered rather than just a boxed bottle.
"The recent purchase I made for my wife for the Burberry Parfume in the 1 ounce and 3 ounce bottles was a big success. Thanks so much for providing my wife sweet smelling perfection."
Stephanie Santiago, verified PerfumeBox buyer
For men, the My Burberry 4-piece mini set covers four fragrances from the modern lineup for buyers who want to test before going full size. The Burberry Brit 4-piece variety mini does the same across the classic Brit range. For a gift that covers both eras, the Burberry variety 4-piece mini set is the most complete option.
