Burberry Her Intense Burberry perfume – a fragrance for women 2019

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun: Burberry Her Intense is the perfect Gal Pal

This is a rather linear scent, and l think it is well blended. The fruity aspect is most prominent. This perfume reads as fun, youthful, but not frivolous. It has a level of sophistication to it, but it’s not terribly complex either. She’s uncomplicated, informal and easy to be around. Always a good time! Do you have someone like that in your life? I sense the the colours white and red when l smell it. A vision of Strawberries and cream.

Imagine a layered trifle pudding sans cake and macarons. Base layer is a small amount of creme brulee (with nutmeg and no yolk) with lots of fresly whipped cream, topped with powdered sugar and/or marshmallow. Next comes a thin layer of berry juice Gelee with many fresh Indian Jasmine petals (jam like concoction). To top off everything, fresh JUICY berries. I think strawberries is most obvious. What to do with this? Take your finger, poke it straight through and smear it on your skin. You might think this is very heavy, or thick sounding, but it’s totally not.

There is an underlying Powdery, musky smell l find similar to Body Shop Libertine White Musk. There’s a strange mentholated vibe to it as well, when merged with the berries it smells like black currant. I totally get the cough syrup analogy, but the scent is decidedly more powdery and resinous than syrupy.

All in all l enjoy it. I think this works as an everyday casual scent going into to semi-formal occasions (outdoor picnic, luncheon, dinner). Any season this technically works because this is neither too heavy or too light.
Though during the fall and winter l prefer something richer, decidedly more heavy, something in the Oriental family. I admit the fresh fruity aspect might be out of place in those months. I admit if you can get fresh fruit year round, why not just go with it?

I like that it still smells somewhat substantial, I’m definitely wearing a scent here. Approachable, friendly, kind of cute and girly. Has a sweetness to it that’s not overbearing. The tartness of the fruits cuts through it.

I am reminded of the House of Givenchy, because a fruity berry accord is their signature in perfumes. However the effect they go for is more dark and smoky. This perfume is more fresh and subtle. Berry theme makes a lot of sense for the brand, BUR-BERRY. The perfume bottle is really quite pretty, like a drinking flask. There is a nice gradation of colour in the glass, from Rose to maroon. A pale beige pink cap and gold accents. This color scheme is quite chic. This perfume is a bit special because l received this as a gift when Corona virus was raging. I find it amusing that the packaging reminds of that time, because the health authority would cordon off communal areas and plaster caution tape over public amenities like chairs, swing sets and the like.

I glam this scent up by first dabbing what remains of this beautiful scented candle Yoshiwara Gardenia which has Gardenia and Tuberose in it. Who can resist a proper floral bouquet ?
