Launched in 2016 by Francis Kurkdjian for Burberry, Mr. Burberry is a Woody Aromatic fragrance that captures the essence of British elegance and modernity. The composition opens with bright grapefruit and cardamom, creating an aromatic freshness that cuts through the air. As it evolves, tarragon and mint bring a green, herbal complexity to the top notes, while cedar and birch leaf introduce a woody foundation. Nutmeg and vetiver add depth and warmth, leading into a rich base of amberwood and benzoin, which provide a subtle leather-like quality that grounds the scent.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance in light layers — two sprays to start and let it develop on your skin for at least 10 minutes before reapplying if needed. It projects well but reads best when close to the skin, making it ideal for daytime wear.

“My creations are an invitation to choose the scent that suits you daily, because I like the idea that each woman and man can express a part of themselves through perfume.”
Maison Francis Kurkdjian was born in 2009 from the encounter between Francis Kurkdjian, a renowned perfumer with scores of successful creations to his name, and Marc Chaya, Co-founder and President of the fragrance house. At only 24, Francis Kurkdjian composed his first perfume, "Le Male" by Jean Paul Gaultier, an international best-seller and game-changer of its time. Instead of relying on a very promising start to his career, he decided, as a precursor, to explore new possibilities and give olfactory creation a new artistic dimension. In keeping with his visionary outlook, in 2001 he set up his tailor-made perfume workshop, against the general tendency of perfume democratization, while constantly putting his know-how and sensibility at the service of the greatest fashion designers (Rick Owens, Hedi Slimane, Riccardo Tisci, Alber Elbaz or John Galliano), as well as the most iconic houses (Dior, Guerlain or Saint-Laurent). From 2003, artists like Sophie Calle, Christian Rizzo or Sarkis called on him to compose his first olfactory compositions - the starting point of his quest to break down the boundaries between different fields and the senses. In 2008, he was named Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres.
