Two Very Different Sides of Burberry
Burberry's women's fragrance wardrobe spans everything from crisp English gardens to London nightlife, and two of its most talked-about releases sit at opposite ends of that spectrum: Burberry Her and My Burberry. Both are easy to find online, both wear well in warm climates, and both get asked about constantly by shoppers trying to work out which one actually suits them. Here's a breakdown to help you decide.
Burberry Her: Juicy, Playful, Night-Out Ready
Launched as a tribute to London's creative youth culture, Her opens with a burst of dark berries, raspberry and sugared almond before settling into violet and jasmine, finished with warm vanilla and musk. It reads as a gourmand-floral — sweet without being cloying, and noticeably more projecting than most florals at this concentration. Her suits anyone who leans toward fruity, dessert-like scents and wants something that announces itself on a night out.
My Burberry: Soft, Grown-Up, Office-Friendly
My Burberry takes the opposite approach. Top notes of bergamot and sweet pea lead into a heart of geranium and tea rose, grounded by patchouli, sandalwood and a touch of golden amber. It's a classic English-garden floral with a green, slightly powdery edge rather than a sweet one. Where Her is loud, My Burberry is composed — it reads as considerably more mature and works comfortably as an everyday or office scent.
Quick Comparison
- Scent family: Her is a fruity-gourmand floral; My Burberry is a green floral with amber.
- Projection and longevity: Her projects more in the first couple of hours and settles into a skin scent around the five-hour mark; My Burberry is softer from the start but holds a touch longer in the dry-down.
- Best season: Her suits warm evenings and humid weather; My Burberry works year-round but really shines in cooler months.
- Who it suits: Her for fans of sweet, fruity perfumes; My Burberry for fans of understated, classic florals.
- Concentration: Both are sold as Eau de Parfum, so expect roughly five to seven hours of wear from a couple of sprays on pulse points or clothing.
UK Price Ranges and Buying Tips
In the UK, a 100ml bottle of Burberry Her Eau de Parfum typically retails between £95 and £120 depending on the retailer and any promotions running, while My Burberry in 90ml usually sits between £75 and £100. Seasonal sales and gift-set bundles can bring both lower.
As a reseller rather than an official Burberry stockist, we source genuine, authentic stock and pass the savings on rather than charging department-store margins. When buying any designer fragrance online — from us or anywhere else — check that the batch code on the box matches the one printed on the bottle, look for a clean cellophane wrap with no tears or re-sealing, and be cautious of prices that seem unrealistically low for the bottle size and concentration, which is often a sign of a tester, a decant, or counterfeit stock.
Our Take
If you want a fragrance that gets noticed the moment you walk into a room, pick Her. If you want something you can wear to a client meeting and dinner afterwards without changing, My Burberry is the safer, more versatile choice. Many fragrance fans end up owning both and reaching for whichever matches the mood that day.
