In this article, we will tell you about everything that you have ever wondered about "Barbary Black": reviews, description, characteristics and much more.
What flavor is this?
It's not often that a woman buys British perfumes, and it's not often that these fragrances become more popular than their French counterparts. But this oriental-floral composition has become a worthy exception. Despite the fact that this brand is not the most expensive and most luxurious in the world, its products can be purchased at affordable prices.
Perfume "Barbary Black" seemed to get out of the rut - they became the personification of status, high cost, luxury and gloss. They do not have "cheap" fragrances and alcohol tint, there are no recognizable notes, there is no pretense. The perfume is very subtle, yet deep and rich. It consists of a small number of ingredients, and at the same time is multifaceted. Very long lasting, released in an eau de parfum concentration, but much more intense than you might imagine.
Olfactory composition
"May Barberry Black" is a fragrance that was released quite recently - in 2016, and its authorturned out to be Francis Kurkudzhan. This is not just a guru - this is a genius who does not get tired of creating masterpieces for various brands. Burberry is no exception, and thanks to this, women around the world have the opportunity to purchase a real premium perfume at an affordable price. What notes formed the basis of it?
- Top notes: sun-dried jasmine petals.
- Heart notes: candied rose petals and peach juice.
- Base notes: amber and patchouli.
Such simple and popular ingredients and such a stunning effect! The aroma shimmers with all the notes, but the sequence of their disclosure and intensity depend on the type of skin and the temperature around you. In short, this is a semi-niche fragrance that you should definitely experience.
Length and sillage
Kurkudzhan has no misfires. All his creations are, first of all, quality. And high-quality perfumes, as we know, sit on the body for a long time and leave behind one or another trail. As for the Barberry Black fragrance for women, it can last on the skin for more than 10 hours.
The notes that will please the sense of smell in the first few hours are a floral bouquet that shimmers against a backdrop of peach nectar. Then the composition will become a little more muted and turn into an oriental fairy tale, filled with viscous amber and patchouli. Since the perfume is not "flashy" at all, its sillage is very modest and small. But at the same time it is fascinating, elusive, magical. Surrounding will be longto think what kind of unusual aroma is in the air and what it reminds of.
Relevance
There is an unspoken rule - oriental fragrances are only for the evening. The British, as people who love order, decided not to cross it. Therefore, the women's perfume "Barberry Black" is an evening composition that will sound relevant against the backdrop of a luxurious floor-length dress or in combination with an elegant suit. For the office and for daytime outings, this option is not the best, as it will "overwhelm" your look. It is also worth noting that Burberry Black is recommended to be worn in autumn, and preferably in winter. For spring, and even more so for summer, the fragrance is completely unsuitable, as it is overflowing with deep and rich notes.
