The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Burberry Summer, launched in 2007 and created by perfumers Mark Buxton and Philippe Roques, is a Floral Fruity fragrance that captures the essence of a bright summer day. It opens with fresh citrus notes and green accords, giving way to a heart of rose and powdery florals before settling into a musky base with aquatic undertones. The result is a scent that feels light and airy, perfect for those sunny afternoons when the warmth of the sun meets the freshness of the air.

How to wear it

Apply Burberry Summer lightly for daytime wear; its freshness is best appreciated close to the skin. The musky base notes will develop over time, making it suitable for an evening out as well.

Mark Buxton

The blind-test prodigy

Mark Buxton, born in England and raised near Hamburg, entered perfumery almost by accident: at 21, a German game show challenge to identify 600 perfumes by scent alone caught the attention of Haarmann & Reimer, who offered him a place in their Paris training program.
