Burberry Her Intense

This is way better than the OG Her, London Dream and the Blossom. Her is more fresh with the strawberry, more youthful than this, but I need something more syrupy, deeper and decadent. To my nose this escapes the Cloud/In the Stars/ Baccarat Rouge vibe in the opening. Yes it has that DNA, but I detect it later. Its very potent also, even after a shower I can smell it, but thats when I smell more of the Baccarat Rouge side of it. This is alot like a tanning oil scent, very beachy and deep. In my opinion its opening is very reminiscent of The One by D&G due to their balsamic, syrupy and deep sweet character. It is lighter than The One tho (which is heavier and with the vetiver it smells kinda like a greek church to me). Not dupes, just same genre. Her Intense smells like there are more notes than the ones listed on here, and as if theres mandarin orange here just like there is in Burberry Her, and in The One which also contains jasmine, and the ambery balsamic base is kinda similar to the benzoin here. After 1 hr on my skin its projection is fresher like Her and BR 540, but when I smell up close I still detect the beautiful resin sweet benzoin. Its opening is expensive, balsamic, syrupy and with intense red fruits, I absolutely love it, wish this was the essence of the entire perfume. Its benzoin (my fav base note) adds an oriental decadent touch to it in the opening and for the first one hour which I wish lasted longer. Her is already better than Cloud imo, more dimensional, more feminine, and its opening brings me images of a retro outdoor setting by the pool and tanning beds, so Her Intense amplifies this feeling and the ladies sunbathing wear big white elegant hats, gold earrings and their skin is shiny and tan like this bottle's colors. If I'm gonna have something like Baccarat Rouge 540 it better be this one! I have a tiny bottle of Cloud that I never wear anymore, and I own In the Stars which comes off more herbal with the borage so I like In the Stars more than Cloud. I wore Her Intense today in 93 degree weather while doing heavy yard work and it still smelled amazing. It actually made me buy the whole The One line (EDP, EDT and L'eau) cuz I realize how much I like intense sweet balsamic scents.

Some fragrances don't just sit on your skin, they seize your soul and refuse to let go. ‘Her Intense’ is one of those rare ones that gripped me from the very first spray and hasn't loosened its hold. I truly am the queen of the Burberry ‘Her Intense.’ If I could smell like one perfume always, this would undoubtedly be it. Since discontinuation I’ve hoarded nearly every reasonably priced one thats popped up on reselling platforms. I no joke have about 50 bottles being perfectly preserved in my fragrance fridge. My advice is do not buy the two piece box examples (unless its a 1.6oz) with the rectangular sticker on bottom of bottle, those are counterfeit. There are dozens of them hitting mercari for cheap and unfortunately selling daily. My equation I use to determine and rationalize value is about $35 per fl oz, my sweet spot is securing 3.3oz bottles for under ~$100. If you’ve ever seen one listed and missed out on it, just know I’m sitting on it like a brooding hen. The last week of 2024 Burberry released the ‘Eau De Parfum Intense’ flanker, and I thought my prayers were going to finally be answered. Instead, I was met with a soapy lactonic Strawberry not at all resembling my beloved Cherry forward ‘Intense.’ I wore ‘Eau De Parfum Intense’ several times throughout 2025 trying to justify my purchase and convince myself I like it, but it’s one of my least favorite ‘Her’ offerings. It really should have had its own name sake that didn’t relate it to this masterpiece. The new ‘Her Parfum’ has been a godsend as Its quite similar, though not 1:1 the same. Theres fresh creamy accents that brighten up the composition, and so thats what sets them apart the most. All of these repetitive dupes/impressions that hit the market and yet no one has properly tried their hand at this mouth numbing Cherry Berry Lollipop DNA. The closest I’ve gotten is Risala Elite’s ‘Cotton Bliss,’ but shes just a Cherry Cotton Candy take on Burberry ‘Her.’ EZE’s ‘Lit’ would also be an honorable mention. My nose has touched hundreds of fragrances, but this has effortlessly remained in my top 3 throughout the years. I refuse to be without this perfume and Im glad I wont have to for a very long time. 🥰

If you ask me this is a fruitier version of Dior Hypnotic Poison EDT! At first spray it smells like some sort of fruity cocktail or a mixer; I can't really put my finger on what it is but it smells like an alcoholic drink (that probably has contreau in it, for some weird reason). There's a lot of boozy red berries and, it takes a while but, cherry takes center stage. Once it completely dries down there's an almost plastic quality to it - it reminds me of the playdoh note in HP EDT but it's not quite the same. Some people say it's that of a plastic doll and I guess that's not totally wrong. It's also as powdery, warm and cozy as HP EDT. It kind of makes me think of christmas evening after one has left church. Like there's still myrrh or some incense on your clothes and after you get inside from the cold, make a fire and sit down with a fruity alcoholic drink. The benzoin gives it this incense base, that turns sirupy together with the berries and gives a smoky feel. Boozy sirupy, still after a few hours on the skin. I like this fragrance; I think it's much more complex than the notes would suggest and it has some sort of mysterious aura to it while also being approachable. When I first sprayed it it was a bit too harsh; too loud and boozy for me. In the drydown it is much more elegant and sophisticated, but, for me, way too powdery (same with HP EDT) and too heavy on the cherry. But, while I overall like it, it also gets reeeeaaally timid after only a few hours, at least on my skin. It doesn't project at all and is much more of a skin scent - which surprised me after it started out so loud. I just thought I'd like it way more than I do now after wearing it for half a day. It's a nice scent overall and there's definitely occasions where I'd still wear it, but personally I won't buy a bottle. This is definitely not a safe blind buy (yes it's discontinued now but it's still available in many stores!) except if you know and like Dior's Hypnotic Poison EDT but want something less vanilla and more fruity.

Blind bought this when I heard it's getting discontinued. I sampled and liked the OG Burberry Her, but not enough to buy a full bottle. It felt too youthful and girly. There's too much of a strawberry shampoo vibe going on. I bought this in hopes that it's a warmer, deeper, more mature version of Her. I'd say it definitely is. But, all the criticisms in the reviews below also apply. It certainly has a strong berry cough syrup scent in the opening. I understand the Redbull comparisons too. That does fade away after awhile, and becomes something more powdery. Not "baby's diaper" powdery as one reviewer stated, but definitely powdery. The OG Her does not smell powdery to me. The smell of berries is still prominent in the midnotes of Her Intense, just more "berries and cream" and less cough syrup at this stage. I'm not sure yet if I'm pleased with this as a blind buy, but I'm going to give it a chance. Waiting to see how I feel about the drydown, which was my favorite part of the OG Her. I sprayed this a few hours ago and the fragrance is still in the middle stage (berries and cream and powder). This smells nothing like Cloud or BR540 to my nose. This one does remind me a bit of D&G The Only One. Not that they smell entirely similar, but that they both have a very thick, syrupy-sweet opening and a powdery undercurrent in the midnotes. Update: I do like the drydown. I get little whiffs of that BR540-ness in the air, like I do with the drydown of the OG Her. However, you have to wait a long time to get there. Like 6 hours. So, if you can stand smelling like a jagerbomb for the better part of your day in order to get to the delicious base, this perfume is for you!

The first time I tested this perfume I thought it smelled warm and sweet but strong, over powering even, it stuck in my nose and smelled like medicine. I threw the test strip in my purse and thought that was that, until I opened my purse throughout the day, and the next day, and the next day. My entire purse, my wallet, mask all smelled like this perfume but the scent cooled down and smelled less like medicine and just like cherry, strawberry, vanilla with a hint of floral. I caved went back to the store on day three and bought it. I highly recommend testing this in the store before buying, the red fruits will either be too much for you and remind you of medicine or you'll love it. It does smell different to me dried down, it holds on to skin and clothes, not something that stays in my face but if i put my sweater to my nose I remember it's there. I saw another comment about it being addicting like it kept calling I felt the same way. I will say I understand the comparisons to cloud but this is more mature and solid with dark red fruits, where as cloud smells fluffy like whip cream and juvenile (not in a bad way I have both and love them). The bottle is simple, it also has a lengthy spray if you push the nozzle all the way down. Have you used those new Flairosol style spray bottles? Yeah just like that.

Burberry Her Intense is one of the best, widely available designer fragrances marketed toward women. Yes, it smells like berry-scented chapstick mixed with perfume, but it somehow works as an everyday fragrance, possibly a signature scent. There have been some comparisons between this fragrance and the popular (yet pricey) BR540, also by Francis Kurkdjian, and I would say that these fragrances are in the same family, but Her Intense is not a dupe for BR540. BR540 is leans floral-aquatic and has a sense of space, while Her Intense is densely-packed. The burnt sugar note is turned down in Her Intense and I’m not picking up any woody notes. Performance for Her Intense is excellent! I easily get 12+ hours out of one spray. The spray mechanism is one of the best I’ve tried with a fine mist and a wide distribution. Partial sprays are an option, so don’t worry about over spraying if you plan to wear it to work. Sillage is enormous, and I received compliments from one big spray. If BR540 is a landmark fragrance that will continue to influence popular fragrances over the next decade, then Her Intense is one of the most accessible examples available. Excellent! 4.5/5

Ooh, this one is interesting! Delicious red berries, juicy and playful. I was worried at first, because berries usually turn foul on me, but this one doesn't. I do think it's geared more towards younger audiences and I will probably only be able to enjoy this in the privacy of my home. I'm happy to use this sample up, but I don't think I'll ever purchase a full size, as cheerful berries aren't what I go for usually and I wouldn't feel in my skin wearing it out. I find myself constantly sniffing my wrist with this on, though. A fun little guilty pleasure for sure! :) edit: after wearing this for a couple of days, I can say I quite like it! It's unlike anything else in my collection currently, and I would say it's very modern and unexpected in current trends. Yes berries have been around forever, but something here stops it from going to that juvenile fruity zone and although playful, stays professional and even almost classy. It's the kind of fruity-floral that rich people would wear, it doesn't smell ordinary or mainstream to me. I might consider purchasing a full bottle when I run out of the decant I have, which is a first for me in fruity scents!

Yes, it has some BR 540 vibes, but they are far from being close enough to be confused. Seriously, I doubt anyone will ask "Are you wearing Baccarat?". This one is, before anything else, a fruity fragrance. Now, leaving aside the BR comparison, the fragrance itself is really nice and edgy coming from a designer house. Very interesting and high quality for its price. If you don't want to pay the niche price tag, this can easily be one of the designer offerings that can satisfy your needs both scent-wise and financially. It is fruity all the way, you get a strong berry blast in the opening which becomes more tonned down leaving room for some sweetness( vanilla/benzoin) and some creamy florals. Here is also where the BR vibes kick in. Try seeing it as a fragrance on its own rather than a BR dupe. There are other fragrances closer to Baccarat if you are looking for that. Very well made, very Kurkdjian.

It's a discontinued fragrance so i wasn't expecting to get my hands on it but thank god i managed to get it on a duty free. When i first sprayed it on i couldn't understand why they discontinued it because it's truly one of the best perfumes i've ever tried. It's quite long lasting, it lasts on me for 8-9 hours without applying any type of lotion. I wasn't gonna talk about how good it smells because y'all already know but i can't help it, i have to. It smells heavenly, like you are in a field of strawberries.The sillage is also amazing, you don't have to spray much because it'll do the job itself. In my opinion, it's much better than Burberry Her in every way even though it's a flanker. Don't think twice about buying it if you can find it!

I really like this perfume. Nothing groundbreaking but well done. When first sprayed I get a bit of fruit notes but its fleeting. On dry down I get mainly a warm cashmere/vanilla with a bit of floral--similar to all the fragrances on the market right now. Its very well blended so its difficult to pick out the notes in this fragrance beyond vanilla/cashmere. A good candidate for a blind buy. Reminded me of LVEB when I first sprayed but not as overpowering and not as sweet. On dry down it reminded of bare vanilla from Victoria's secret--warm cozy classy. As for performance it lives up to its name. Good but not overwhelming sillage and lasts at least 4 hours on my skin when applied normally.

My love... I have returned to wax poetic about her because she's being discontinued. You bet I stockpiled two bottles I never want to be without it. I've always thought this was delicious, but in an ambivalent sort of way. My love for this perfume is INTENSE and has grown and grown over the time I've had it. When you catch it in the air it's like a trail of the most saccharine, fruity EXPENSIVE bubblegum. Sooo delicious, sweet and warm. If I've gone a little while without smelling it, and use it - I fall in love all over again! This is the pink ruffles, pearl necklaces, satin bows, ruddy blush, rococo kitten heels in perfume form. Once I run out I am going to miss it so much.

This is my favorite fragrance ever. I cried when it got discontinued and could cry just thinking about it too. This is literally Burberry Her’s more mature, sultry, sexy and intense sister. This is everything a woman could want in a perfume. Alluring, comforting and sweet. The sillage on Her Intense is 10/10 and I received compliments from everyone around me including store assistants, dentists and colleagues. I used to carry the 15ml sample bottle around with me as a lift me up as the scent never failed to make me smile. I had this perfume x2 and finished both bottles right to the last drop. I wish they would release it again even it’s just a limited run.

I am absolutely in love with this fragrance! I have about 8 perfumes in my collection, but this has definitely become my signature scent! It’s not for people who prefer light, easy fragrances, so be careful and don’t blind buy this, better test it out first! Also, I have read that many found it appalling at first, but then fell in love with it - the same happened to my husband. We went together to Sephora and smelled it. For me, it was love at first sight, he hated it. I ended up not buying it then, but I have to admit I was extremely disappointed because I loved it. Decided to buy it a few months later and he loved it right from the start.

Walked into sephora to smell this and WOW! out of all the fragrances I smelled today this one left a print. It's fruity amber. A little on the warmer side. Now that I've smelled this I definitely understand what red fruits means because I get that with a warmer jasmin. It reminds me of Christmas with the red fruitnote but also remindsme of a really nice vacationon an island in the evening. Not sure what benzoin is but I get all the top and middle notes. Its SO simple in terms of notes but its sooooooo good! Definitely evening wear but im sure you could pull it off in the morning too! I'm definitely purchasing this for Christmas.

This is definitely one of the more interesting experiences I’ve had with any fragrance. I blind bought this and hated it at first. It gave me a medicinal cough syrup vibe that made me nauseous and gave me headaches upon headaches. So screechy and synthetic it felt like my senses were being attacked. But somehow that bottle kept calling my name, asking me to smell it. I hated it, but at the same time it was so addictive and I couldn’t stop smelling it. And so in about 3 days time this went from being a hate to becoming a solid LOVE. A musky, berry, benzoin BOMB. Also, the atomizer on this? Perfection.

Sprayed it on my wrist in the store, first sniff I didn't like it at all, thought I would never buy it, smelled like strong cherry alcoholic drink. I put it down and went trying other fragrances, but as it dried down a little on my skin it turned into something mesmerising and I fell in love with it. This perfume is like a good wine, the longer it sits the better it gets. On the very last drie down i did get that BR 540 vibe so I can understand why people find it similar, but to me this is completely different scent and not a dupe of it. It's sweet,feminine fragrance that warms your heart 🙂

Well, it happened. I got a compliment from my husband. He hasn't commented on my many different perfumes in probably years. But this evening, as I was washing dishes, he came up behind me, buried his nose in my neck, inhaled deeply and said, "You smell nice." Lol! It might not seem like much but trust me, it's huge. I think he truly dislikes all my favorites (Mon Guerlain & flankers, L'interdit flankers, etc.) but Burberry Her Intense is a winner. It's growing on me, too. It's cold and rainy today, and this fragrance developed beautifully in this weather. Looks like I'm keeping her!

I really enjoy Her intense. The opening has a very sweet, almost medicinal, cherry. To me it's a very dark and juicy cherry. I also get quite a bit of blackberry on my skin. Then the jasmine shows up but it's definitely in the background. It gives it a slight creaminess. Once it dries down the benzoin really makes it beautiful! It becomes this warm, sweet and creamy cherry with a slight hint of juicy blackberry. I love this during fall and winter. The original Her is the one I reach for in spring and summer. It's a bright, fresh berry and is also very sweet.

So far, this is my favorite fragrance. When shopping for my first perfume, I smelled this one and instantly fell in love with it, as well as my partner. It smells strongly of berries (mostly blackberries to me) with a nice hint of vanilla from the benzoin. At first, the smell is strong enough to perfume the whole room. The first time wearing it, I got in a car right after and had to open the window a bit. It will smell strongly for quite a few hours, but I can still faintly smell it on my skin after 12 hours. It's a solid 9.5/10 from me!

Ahhh I love this one. I tested this in last summer all day fully wearing for few days in really hot and humid place. At first try on my wrist I thought it smellled lovely but wouldn’t be great wearing on full body bc it gives syrupy vibes and somehow feels something you shouldn’t put on to your skin bc it wouldn’t match with skin chemistry I don’t know if it makes sense. However after putting fully I loved even more. It’s sexy sour sweet cherries also got me compliments and never was cloying even in that hot-humid weather.
