The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2011, Body by Burberry is a chypre fruity fragrance designed to evoke the luxury and elegance of its British heritage. Created by perfumer Michel Almairac, it opens with wormwood and peach, leading into freesia and rose, before settling into a warm base of sandalwood, iris, musk, cashmere wood, vanille, and amber. Its 2011 launch campaign featured model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in a nearly nude pose wrapped only in a Burberry trench coat — an image that drove significant buzz and press attention.
Body is a composition where the powdery and woody accords create a sense of comfort and sophistication, while the fruity and aromatic notes add freshness. It's a fragrance that embodies both the classic charm of Burberry and its contemporary edge.
This fragrance has a rich base that blooms after about an hour. Start with one or two sprays to let the warmth develop gradually throughout the day. The powdery notes make it perfect for cooler evenings but also work well in milder weather.
