BURBERRY LONDON FOR MEN – spicy woody eau de toilette with lavender, leather and tobacco, 50 ml

What does Burberry London for Men smell like, and who is the 50 ml eau de toilette for?

Burberry London for Men is a men's eau de toilette from the British fashion house Burberry, launched in 2006. It was created by perfumer Antoine Maisondieu, and the scent is designed as a blend of British tradition and an urban, London character.

Fragrance retailers classify it among spicy, woody and aromatic scents with a fougère structure. It opens with bergamot, lavender and warm cinnamon, the heart reveals leather with mimosa, and the base is made of tobacco, oakmoss, opoponax and guaiac wood.

The 50 ml bottle is a good choice if you are just getting to know this scent or want a size that fits easily into a travel bag. The glass bottle is wrapped in fabric with the recognisable Burberry check; the packaging design was updated in 2019, so the box may look different from the photo.

Fragrance notes and features

The fragrance pyramid of Burberry London for Men according to perfume retailers:

Opoponax is an aromatic resin with a warm, balsamic and slightly honeyed character, so together with tobacco it gives the scent depth. The full ingredient list – alcohol, fragrance components and fragrance allergens – is printed on the box.

How to use

Spray once or twice onto clean skin – the neck, wrists or behind the ears – from a distance of about 15–20 cm. Do not rub your wrists together after applying; let the scent dry on its own. On moisturised skin, after a shower, the fragrance usually lasts longer.

Who is it for?

It is intended for men who like warm, spicy scents with notes of leather and tobacco. According to retailer descriptions, it suits the colder months, evenings out and special occasions best, and in moderate amounts it can also be worn every day.

Important notes

• The fragrance is for external use only – do not spray into the eyes.
• Flammable – keep away from open flames and heat sources.
• Contains alcohol and fragrance allergens (e.g. coumarin, eugenol, linalool, cinnamal) – people prone to fragrance allergies should check the ingredients on the box.
• Do not apply to irritated or broken skin.
