The story behind the bottle.
London by Burberry was launched in 2006, created by Dominique Ropion and Jean-Marc Chaillan, blending the essence of British elegance with a vibrant floral bouquet. The fragrance opens with citrusy notes from tangerine and clementine, followed by the sweet and delicate rose and jasmine. A heart of honeysuckle and tiare flower adds an enchanting sweetness, while peony brings a touch of sophistication. The base notes of musk, sandalwood, and patchouli ground the composition with warmth and depth.
Within enthusiast circles, London is often nicknamed 'Christmas in a bottle,' treated as an unofficial marker for the start of autumn/winter fragrance season. This vibrant floral scent captures the essence of a classic British afternoon, where the crisp air meets sweet florals.
London's citrusy opening notes are bright but fleeting, so apply two sprays to ensure the sweet floral heart and warm base linger throughout the day. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than projecting into a room.
