Our take
What does My Burberry Black smell like?
Burberry launched My Burberry Black in 2016, two years after My Burberry. Francis Kurkdjian composed both. The first one evoked a London garden after the rain. Black goes the other way as a denser, darker parfum. The opening shows no restraint. Heady jasmine arrives with ripe peach that smells like nectar more than fresh fruit. Rose then settles in and rounds out the heart. The base is amber, thick and almost sticky. Patchouli gives it depth. Next to My Burberry, which is greener and fresher, Black is clearly warmer and sweeter. It lines up with evening amber florals like Yves Saint Laurent's Black Opium, minus the coffee. On skin it lasts a long time and projects hard for the first hour. Go easy with it.
When to wear it
An evening scent for autumn and winter. One spray on the neck is plenty.
It belongs to the Floral, Oriental / Amber family. My Burberry Black is one of 25 creations by Burberry in our encyclopedia.
