The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Clary Sage by Burberry, launched in 2019, is a Woody Spicy fragrance that captures the essence of British elegance with a modern twist. The composition opens with bright citrus notes before transitioning into a heart of clary sage and pepper, creating a dynamic tension between freshness and warmth. This balance is anchored by a rich base of patchouli, vetiver, and amber, which adds depth and complexity to the scent.

How to wear it

Apply Clary Sage to pulse points for a subtle yet lasting effect. The citrus opening is bright but fades within two hours, allowing the woody base to take center stage. This fragrance reads better close to skin than across a room, so aim for a moderate application.
