Body

Soft Peach-Chypre with a TEA & HONEY drydown. A classic "your skin but better" scent that projects, this scent is perfectly pitched at the changing of the guard from deep-peach scents of the 1990s and early 2000s, like Tresor Lancome, to contemporary rose scents, like Idole Lancome & Chloe EDP Chloe. Signed by perfumer Michel Almairac (Gucci Rush), this beauty opens with a burst of soft, peach chypre and dries down to dew drops, honey and cashmere. In the air I get a well blended "your skin but better" vibe of dew drops and honey that is difficult to pick out individual notes, and on the skin I get honey, tea & pencil shavings. Contrast to Body by Burberry EDT: Also composed by Michel Almairac, these are very similar, although the EDT is slightly less sweet, and the tannic component is more obviously a tea note. Both are well above average performance-wise. Contrast to Body Tendre by Burberry: Also composed by Michel Almairac, these are very similar, although Body Tendre is more rose forward. Both are well above average performance-wise. Contrast to Chloe EDP Chloe: These are different, especially in the openings where Chloe EDP is more about fresh rose, but the drydown of Body EDP reminds me of Chloe EDP with the sweet tea vibe. Roughly equivalent performance. Contrast to Tresor Lancome: Although these have been compared, I find them quite different. However, there are some similarities in the final drydown of Body Burberry, after the tannic component fades, I get a lingering whiff of the 'hug-me accord' made famous by perfumer Sophia Grojsman (Tresor Lancome, Exclamation Coty, Volupte Oscar de la Renta) which shows itself in many of her compositions, Tresor Lancome included. Contrast to Gucci Rush Gucci: With its cult following, it's difficult to compare anything to Gucci Rush, and while these are very different scents. both are composed by Michel Almairac and there are some similarities with both being a peach chypre. Body by Burberry I only detect peach chypre in the opening whereas with Gucci Rush I get more of a peach chypre throughout with a prominent Lily of the Valley note that isn't present in Body by Burberry. I personally find the performance of Gucci Rush underwhelming (likely due to reformulation) unlike Body by Burberry which always exceeds my expectations of longevity and sillage. Overall: Well above average performance that becomes beast mode when layered over its matching body lotion. It's a longtime love for me!

I tried a sample size of this today and I really like it a lot. It's soft, warm, sweet, sexy and cozy all at once and a touch candyish in a good way. I realize everyone's body chemistry and their olfactory senses affect how they perceive and react to a fragrance, but I don't get the hate and I certainly don't get the ever so rude and repetitive "old lady" vibe from it. ( Sooo tired of hearing that )To me it's a very modern and young vibe but truthfully it reminds me a lot of Burberry Her, and makes me wonder if that is a reintroduction and reconfiguration of this because this is discontinued and they smell very similar. I'm surprised no one noticed that. I've said this before, but I can't help but wonder if the fragrances were tried without knowing the actual notes beforehand would they come out with things like " it's the wormwood that killed it for me"lol, really? Is anyone that familiar with the scent of wormwood ? Perfume like a song, is a compilations of notes, focusing on specific notes is like saying, I really thought I would like this song but the c flat killed it for me lol,or I don't hear the B flat in this at all lol. Perfume is a scent symphony to be taken in at once and appreciated for all the different stages of the song as they both have an opening, a middle and wind down. I feel like some people actually stress about a fragrance rather than enjoy it. Take it all in instead of picking it apart and enjoy it,not just this fragrance but any. You will either like it or not, but you don't need to hate on it like you want everyone else to hate on it too. I will give my opinion of a perfume I don't like without using insulting terms or trying to make everyone else who likes it feel like they are crazy. Lighten up, it's really not that serious.

Hot damn. Sometimes I'm wrong. I *hated* this fragrance when I first smelled it. I found it to be a bizarre combination of nail vanish and plastic rose that settled into an unappealing Mumsy scent. This perfume then went on sale, and I - because I'm a trash person - went out and bought a bottle. I started wearing it that day. Then again on the next day. Then again on the following day. Then a full week went by, and I realised: Sometimes I'm wrong. It has this gentle, yet low-key glamourous vibe to it. It's elegant rose with cold peach, and a easy woody-musky base. Actually - a PERFECT day-time / work fragrance. This does not mean it's boring. It means it's classic, pleasing, delicate, well-blended, and clean. OH! The LONGEVITY, people. Only since "Eternity" by Calvin Klein has a day-time fragrance impressed me with its longevity. It's crazy awesome. I still have to disagree with all those that say this is a scent perfect for winter. I feel it's still a scent you wear to cool you down in the blistering heat! When summer comes, and I'm foolishly working like a chump - I'll be wearing this. This packaging, though, is something else. Initially, I thought it was boring. So...colourless. Again, I'm just wrong on this. I feel it's more elegant now, and - oh, the variety - that it can stand up or lie down on your dresser / vanity. This bottle is both a jewel and a weapon. Seriously, try wielding this thing against your mortal enemies. :P *** Kitty rating: 8.5/10.

When i first received my fb edp and my perfume oil of Body, the wormwood was just way too sour and in your face! Now im learning that all the best fragrances take time to develop and unfold. I decided to give this one another try and just let the sour wormwood die down ( which it didnt seem to do when i first tried it). First i noticed that heat and humidity brought out some peachy sweetness. this was early spring but then still in spring, too sour. Fast forward to now, crisp fall, after summer heat and humidity. The weather warmed this concoction up and now the gorgeous sensual rose and sandalwood are the star notes! I cant get enough of this now! There's the peach and the rose mingling with the slightly there back up dancer absinthe upon a sandalwood stage clothed in warm vanilla and cashmere! This is a delight to my senses! This is up there with Spellbound! Which is exactly what i thought when i first caught a whiff of the body edt sample... This is everything spellbounds daughter would be! And i promptly ordered a full bottle of the edp! And now, finally, that beauty has returned! After some suffering through the seasons trying to find when this girl likes to perform i finally get the whole show and it is remarkable!

This was my favourite perfume before I started getting into more complex, masculine type fragrances. I still really love it, and I might keep buying it if I run out, just to have it in my collection for nostalgia's sake. Plus it isn't very expensive and gets discounted at drug stores quite often. This scent is a bit hard to describe. It's extremely well-balanced. I can't really pick up any of the notes it says it has. It's both floral and fruity without being outright either of those things. I agree that it is powdery but in a refined kind of way, not something that reminds you of talcum. It's just fresh and bright and sparkly and very, very pretty in a demure and not-overly-feminine way. Also, I don't know how to explain it, but I feel like the packaging it comes in is the perfect embodiment of what the scent is. It's like a physical manifestation of the fragrance. The soft peach colour and the slender, luxuriously hefty glass bottle and the rose-gold check-patterned cap. I don't know. Packaging is very important to me. There's a lot of great fragrances out there but I want to have the whole experience, you know? I like looking at pretty things and having pretty things on display.

My fiance' says he has yet to meet a Burberry fragrance that doesn't work well on my skin. Judging by the other reviewers comments, the house has done incredibly well in creating fragrances that create a seamless chemistry with most people - something to be applauded, because this is no easy feat. On to Burberry Body.. I'm driven by scent memories, and can pretty much pinpoint the first memory associated with each fragrance I own. Body was presented to me as a gift from a colleague who had at the time just returned from Dubai, so I see her face whenever I smell it. I'm a HUGE fan of iris combined with woods, so needless to say - my first bottle didn't last all that long. I battled to find another bottle for a while, so yes, I admit it... I have several bottles stashed away, and may be in dire need of a guest spot on Hoarders. Can you even consider yourself a Perfumista if you don't hoard bottles? Currently, I'm treated to soft wisps of Iris, Musk, Cashmere Wood and Wormwood every time the breeze comes along. This is accompanied by the image of my friend, throwing an amusing tantrum about our boss to the tune of "Can you believe what that jackass said??"

Burberry Body is a beautiful, cool, powdery, peach-wormwood-musk fragrance. To me, fragrances are warm or cool/cold- smelling (which has nothing to do with what weather you should wear them in). Burberry Body is cool/cold, as is Guerlain's Mitsouko and L'Heure Bleue, Oscar De La Renta's Oscar and Esprit d'Oscar, and Bvlgari's Pour Femme -- which is not to say they really remind me of Burberry Body particularly, however; but they all share a cool, powdery, iris note. Burberry Body also has an intriguing bitter note (the wormwood, I'm guessing) that plays in concert with a dry peach, over top of very low-key roses and musk (or is that cashmere woods I'm smelling...?). It's pretty linear, as well, not changing much from first spray to drydown. I do not smell any vanilla here -- vanilla, to me, warms up a scent mightily -- and I detect only a little sandalwood (also warming). I love this cool, low-key, fragrance. To me, it's very restrained, cool, and elegant, with a decent but not gigantic sillage. It performs pretty well, lasting about 6-8 hours, just sort of radiating toward the end as more of a skin scent. Quietly gorgeous...

Smelled a little more interesting on the tester card than it does on my skin-- with my chemistry this smells almost identical to baby powder 🥲 Definitely not a dislike by any means, but I dunno if I'd want to walk around and have people think "Hey, she smells like baby powder." Will keep my sample for at home wear because it is nice and cozy! EDIT: Honestly, this has been growing on me so much. I still get the baby-powdery-ness, but I like it too much to care. It's soft and gentle and comforting, and reminds me of the feeling you get when you go to the mall to go holiday shopping. EDIT (yes again lol): I have come to absolutely adore this scent! Long lasting and the perfect balance between powdery, woody, and even a subtle hint of fruitiness. It smells so... womanly. The antithesis to scents that are TRYING to be sexy (no shade to those, they can be lovely as well), this one just IS sexy in such a simple and subdued way.

I was utterly obsessed with this fragrance for about six months, during a time when I was living in Hong Kong (which is why I associated it with hot weather, perhaps, when most others seem to think it's more suitable for fall) and have the best scent memories associated with it. Whether I'm remembering it through rose tinted glasses or not, though, it is entirely accurate to state that I have NEVER received so many compliments on a fragrance - before or since. Almost every time I wore this scent, someone commented on it favorably, and quite a few of my friend group purchased it, too. Reading through the comments a lot of people describe this to be a cloyingly sweet perfume- personally, I don't find it terribly sweet, instead the musk and rose notes stand out to me. The peach top note and vanilla base notes are a mystery to me as I don't recall them at all, and usually I'm very sensitive to vanilla.

I love all Burberry facets for years and I literally believe that Body is a real designer fragrance! Great for working and formal occasions. Expresses seriousness, maturity, experience and responsibility. Overall, a signature perfume for Burberry, which is why I hate the fact that the market withdrew it! I really made an effort to find the last one.. the price was tremendously reduced for a specific time, however I bought it at its highest. inspiration in words: "You are a rich personality in terms of experience and character. You have put your life in order, but there is variety and you don't let any opportunity go to waste. You are constantly communicating and nobody forgets you, because you blind them. You will not tolerate any lack of quality. You offer a lot and can go anywhere. Guilty pleasure? Being in festive mood and enjoy city life in winter".

Burberry Body – A Soothing, Creamy Embrace in a Bottle Burberry Body is one of those designer gems that doesn’t try too hard yet manages to wrap you in a calm, beautiful aura. It's tender, skin-hugging drydown that feels like an angelic caress. Honestly, if you asked me what an angel would smell like, I’d say this, especially when layered with Dama Bianca by Xerjoff. Together, they’d create a scent of pure light, serenity, and softness. I often reach for Burberry Body when I’m feeling anxious or need comfort. It’s my bedtime scent, my safe space in a bottle. It may not be the loudest or longest-lasting fragrance, but what it offers is something more intimate: a beautiful, soothing blend that eases the mind and warms the heart. As far as designer scents go, I deeply respect this one—it’s quietly powerful and profoundly comforting.

A blind buy success! I love this perfume. It's smells well blended, refined and appropriate for up close encounters. However, people will smell you at arm's length. On my skin, I can smell the rose, freesia, wormwood, musk, amber and vanilla. The notes just work so well together making it a really beautiful fragrance. I have nothing in my collection that smells like this! I think the name really suits the fragrance. I think it's great for autumn and it wouldn't be too strong to offend anyone but you will be able to smell it on you. There are nixed reviews about this perfume so it might be best to try before you buy. Also, remember, everybody's taste is different and also their body chemistry. The great thing about perfume, is that it is subjective and what works well with some, may not work for others. Keep an open mind.

Burberry Body is classy and sophisticated, but not stuffy or too mature. The woman that wears this fragrance has perfected the elevated white t-shirt and jeans combo. She probably wears a Celine bag and a statement coat. I had to overspray a bit more than normal to really get this to smell interesting on my skin. Once I did the peach really came out. The mid and base notes are all pretty solid and well rounded. This fragrance is very lovely, not super exciting or out there, but reliably good. The price for Body on discount websites is very nice. I would consider buying a bottle and adding this to my fall rotation. Burberry seems to consistently hit it out of the park for me, I can't wait to try more and more from this brand. This perfume is very autumnal and I really enjoy it!

This is not floral or sweet at all! All i smell I smell is the wormwood very strongly and its sour so very very sour! I wish i could get the peach and florals and sweetness but on me, right now in this weather, its just sour body odor and its so strong its headache inducing! Its not nice or feminine its gross! There's no way that this is supposed to smell like this so ill try this again when its warmer and hopefully the wormwood will fade to the background and the florals will come out and sing their song.. Im in minnesota so its still very cold out. At least i may have a summer fragrance on my hands! Humidity resistant fragrances are just so hard to come by. I hope this one is made for heat cuz its definitely no good in the winter weather in minnesota.

Received this as a sample with another purchase and "chypre fruity" is nowhere near the category I'd stick this one in. I don't like at all. VERY GENERIC (RL Romance type of generic). Truly, it smells like hairspray n that would be a compliment. The notes sound SO GOOD, what happened?? I love Chypre Fruity frags like Gucci Rush, Badgley Mischka Badgley Mischka-this is I don't really even know what it is. Meh. Goes to show that I shouldn't blind buy based on the notes listed bc this is way far off from the interesting notes that are listed. Where are the damn peaches lol? One of my favorite notes n I don't smell it here at all. Always grateful for a sample that I didn't ask for though so that lil extra gesture from the seller was nice.

I’m among those who enjoy this fragrance. This scent is cozy, creamy and powdery. There’s a bitterness to it (and it does not go away despite being a top note, assuming it’s wormwood), but somehow it harmonises with other notes. This must be the perfumer’s skill on show in achieving this harmonious unity. Body has a distinct identity. Other than its Tender sibling, it’s like nothing else among the fragrances I know (which admittedly is not many). I agree with raerrr, that it has to be worn in cool weather, otherwise it’s headachy. I disagree with those who describe it as light - it definitely isn’t, and judging by mixed reactions, not office-friendly either.

My first thoughts on this were disgustingly powdery and hell no (I'm still having nightmares of some Chloe powdery water that I purchased during a pregnancy-related hormone burst). Of course, my mind was changed after a few hours, when the musky cashmeran rose came through. I still get lots of powder, but the sweetness of the peach and freshness of the rose make it somehow lovable even for those of us, who normally abhor powdery fragrances! This is nothing like Brit Rhythm, but both of them do powdery in a way that's soft, not headache-inducing. Bravo, Burberry, again! And Body's fast becoming my go-to perfume when I need a clean, feminine skin scent.

Let me start with saying that I LOVED the smell from the nozzle. But after I sprayed it on myself I found that it was very sharp and cloying. Didn't like it. It took me months before I began to understand this scent. It's not a perfume to impress it's soft, warm, elegant and very long lasting. Beast mode, 2/3 sprays max. Burberry body is extremely versatile. I reach for it often in fall and winter for every occasion. There are a lot of days that I don't want anything too floral, fruity or gourmand, and then I pick this one up. The only perfume in my collection that can do that, so strange. It's nice and sophisticated and in my opinion....unique

This is such a gorgeous scent. It's a perfectly blended sweet floral that smells much more expensive than it is. For years I looked past this hidden gem from the Burberry line, with a name like 'body' I expected it to be a very intimate, skin scent but it's not. It's another great sweet floral from Michel Almairac with great sillage and longevity. The peach gives it a sweetness with the rose but I also get a strong iris hit from this. I don't love powdery iris perfumes, I find them reminiscent of talcum powder, but this is beautiful and the powder is so slight. This is a true classic.

I absolutely love this perfume. It had been a while since I smelled a fragrance that I fell in love with until I smelled this one. Its giving me rose, peaches and musk. A warm clean kind of scent. Definitely a warm and creamy scent. It does not smell "mature" to me. But it is a fragrance for elegant and kind women. Edit: Every time I wear this perfume my husband compliments it and he never notices scents! Also the first time I wore it to work, my patient told me I smelled like a rich woman haha. She asked me of it was Chanel because it smelled so delicious. GET THIS PERFUME
