The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2009, Burberry London for Women Special Edition by Dominique Ropion is a floral fragrance that captures the essence of British elegance. The composition opens with pink pepper and grapefruit, creating a fresh and vibrant top note. This gives way to a heart of rose and lily-of-the-valley, which adds a touch of softness and floral charm. The base notes of woods and musk ground the scent in a warm and enveloping finish.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to your pulse points for a balanced wear throughout the day. The fresh top notes are bright but fleeting, so rely on the musky base to carry you through the evening.
