Burberry London for Men (2023) Full Review – Do You Need It?

Holidays in a bottle.

Commonly referred to as holidays in a bottle.

In this review, I will describe Burberry London for Men’s smell and performance, and by the end, you’ll know if you need it in your collection. Now that you know what to expect, let’s get started.

Quick Summary

• The scent is based on warm spices, tobacco, and wood
• This is an affordable fragrance
• The performance is average
• This is exclusively a fall and winter fragrance
• This is an excellent scent to spice up your collection

What Does Burberry London Smell Like?

The opening starts with fleeting freshness, prominent spices, and faint warm tobacco in the background. The opening almost smells like potpourri. After the first few minutes, prominent cinnamon mixes with a leather note, washing over all other notes.

This part can be overpowering because of the cinnamon and leather combination. Together it is slightly decisive with its strong and mature accents.

The heart of the fragrance retains the prominent leather and cinnamon mixture, smoothed out by slightly sweet tobacco. Shows of lavender in the background add a light floral tone, but they never amount to much.

The rest of the wear settles into woody tobacco and warm spiced leather. There was little scent development throughout the fragrance, but the longer it was worn, the better it smelt.

The official notes of Burberry London for Men:

Performance

The performance is decent. It lasts 6 – 8 hours on the skin with light projection. The opening burst pushes out one to two feet, but it sits pretty close to the skin after this period. 

The wearability is limited exclusively for fall and winter but wearable for all occasions. The spices and leathery depth are often too much when too much heat is applied. On top of this, it is “holidays in a bottle,” so it will be cool weather focused. 

As you can tell, the performance is average, but what about likability? It’s attractive but not an attention magnet. Instead, it’s a unique smell to spice up your collection.

Is Burberry London for Men Worth It?

For the right person. Currently, a 100mL bottle costs $44 on discounters. The performance is average, and the smell is good nor bad. The biggest pro is that the unique aroma will add a different scent to your collection. As well as the affordable price tag. 

The cons are that it’s simply average in all aspects.
