Burberry is a quintessentially British cologne. Herbal and woody, it combines a variety of natural ingredients to produce a fragrance that is both sophisticated and warm. Top notes of mint, grapefruit, tarragon and cardamom give the cologne its herbal quality, while heart notes of birch, nutmeg, cedar and lavender provide its woody nature. Oakmoss, sandalwood, vetiver, guaiac wood and benzoin create a warm, hearty base. With its moderate sillage and longevity, the cologne can be worn with confidence in the daytime and evening. Gentlemen of all ages are fans of this timeless and versatile fragrance. Dab it on for daily business meetings or seasonal black-tie events. Founded in 1856, British fashion design house Burberry is the brand behind the cologne. The neck of the fragrance's bottle is adorned with a whimsical black tie of gabardine, the same fabric the company uses to make its famous raincoats.
