The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2009, The Beat EDT by Burberry is an embodiment of the brand's signature blend of British elegance and contemporary sophistication. This fragrance opens with bright mandarin orange and bergamot, infused with a hint of cardamom and pink pepper for a fresh spicy edge. At its heart lies iris and bellflower, mingling softly before settling into musky and woody notes of vetiver and cedar. The Beat EDT captures the essence of Burberry’s heritage while embracing modernity.
Apply one or two sprays to pulse points for a balanced presence. The fresh spicy notes are prominent initially but give way to a warm and powdery base that lasts through the day.
