Burberry is a globally renowned British brand. Initially, this design house specialized exclusively in the development and production of clothing. However, in the 20th century, English couturiers mastered another direction - perfumery. Perfumes and eau de toilette from Burberry are recognizable: they all have a refined and aristocratic bouquet with clearly visible notes typical of this brand.
Throughout 50 collectible fragrances have been created in Burberry's design labs throughout history. One of the most famous and luxurious scents was Barberry Body, aimed at a female audience. Although this eau de toilette was released several years ago, it is still the most loved and sought after by ladies among the entire Burberry perfume line.
A little about Burberry
The founder of the legendary design house Burberry is entrepreneur T. Barberi. In addition to opening a women's and men's clothing store in Hampshire in 1856, Barbury was also an inventor.waterproof fabric, now known to us as gabardine. Things from this material have become extremely popular with athletes and men whose professions were associated with regular exposure to the open air. At the end of the 19th century, Thomas decided to open a wholesale trade in gabardine clothing in London. Things went uphill.
Throughout the 20th century, Thomas Burbury actively cooperated with the military departments, regularly receiving orders from them for raincoats, officer uniforms and other uniforms. The very first deliveries turned out to be fateful and brought the company multimillion-dollar income, which the diligent entrepreneur invested in production.
Year after year, tailors and designers developed items of military clothing, on which, starting in 1901, the Burberry brand name began to appear - a knight on horseback, in full gear and with a spear at the ready. This symbolism exists to this day and means continuous movement forward, as evidenced by the short Latin inscription on the flag - “Prorsum”.
After the hostilities were over, some items of clothing and uniform silhouettes smoothly migrated to civilian outfits. A couple of years later, around 1920, another brand identification mark appeared that distinguishes Burberry clothes from other masses of textiles - a check in white, beige, black and red tones.
Over the years, new and new owners of Burberry have replaced each other in leadership positions. Only one thing remained unchanged - an elegant and conservative spirit. British branded products.
1981 was marked by the release of a completely new product for Burberry - eau de toilette. It was called extremely simply - Burberry for Men - and was intended exclusively for men. Women's perfume appeared only 10 years later - in 1991, and received the name Society - "Society".

Burberry Body Fragrance
Burberry Body can rightly be attributed to the classic category of fragrances. The composition of the smell includes the following components:

- peach;
- freesia.
2. Heart notes:
- rose;
- iris;
- sandalwood.
3. Loop Notes:
- cashmere;
- vanilla;
- amber;
- musk.
Despite a somewhat harsh introduction, the fragrance can be classified as a light smell. The initial notes are softened by the further development of rose and iris. Sandalwood is present, but does not play a pronounced role, at the same time giving the sound of the "heart" a characteristic shade. The bouquet opens most luxuriantly and warmly at the end, caressing the nose with velvety vanilla, cashmeran and musk.

Burberry Body reviews
Regardless of which perfume from the entire collection was chosen, the reviews left by women about Barberry Body agree on one thing: the fragrance is incredibly sensual and sexy.
Noted the exceptional warmth of the Burberry Body, but by no means cloying. Majoritycustomers say that the best time for this perfume is the off-season. But at the same time, on a summer evening, it would be quite appropriate to wear both Intense and Barberry Body Tender. The reviews of some owners of these fragrances indicate a rather noticeable smell of vanilla, which seems heavy during the midday heat, but with the onset of night coolness, this note sounds completely different - more harmonious.
Another hallmark of the Burberry Body line is incredible durability. Even after a shower, the fragrance remains on the skin, of course, not as obvious as at the beginning of the day, but already as if merged with the female body, more intimate and intimate.
The only tangible drawback of the Barberry Body perfume collection is the price. However, for a fragrance of this level, according to customer reviews, it is quite acceptable. In addition, eau de toilette is consumed quite sparingly - the notes are revealed throughout the day, one after another, and leave behind a persistent trail.
In general, Burberry Body can be recommended both as a gift for a loved one, girlfriend or mother on a certain date, and for purchase for everyday use. The scent will emphasize the femininity of the owner and her charm, and the presentable bottle will decorate any dressing table.
