The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Francis Kurkdjian created My Burberry Black Elixir de Parfum for Burberry in 2017, blending the brand's signature elegance with a complex floral and woody composition. The fragrance opens with lemon zest and jasmine, creating a bright, fresh top note that transitions into a heart of rose and candied almond, adding depth and warmth. Sandalwood forms the base, grounding the scent with its rich, enveloping aroma. This unisex fragrance embodies Burberry's heritage of sophistication and modernity.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance in light layers — the lemon zest opening is bright but fades quickly, while the sandalwood base provides lasting warmth. It pairs well with cooler weather, where its rich notes can fully unfold without overpowering.
