Her Intense 2024

Sensual Haribo raspberry. But also, sun-drenched wild strawberry. This really does evoke the feeling of having sun warm your skin in the summertime, with light breezes carrying orange blossom to you like a gift in a dream. Researching other reviews of Her Intense, I was fascinated by how polarizing the strawberry note is. Many people say it’s a “synthetic strawberry” (mostly reviewers from the U.S.) and others say it’s the most photorealistic strawberry of the Her line (mostly reviewers from the EU). Wild strawberry really is different from strawberry. Wild strawberries aren’t that common in the U.S., but I’ve tasted a few handfuls before from my Polish grandmother’s garden - everything about them feels unreal. They’re as small as pearls and their flavor is intense, like the simplified fraction of a strawberry. That’s truly the perfect reference point for an Intense flanker in a fragrance line. I’m obsessed. This fragrance is very dense, but it isn’t heavy. Its simple note structure (only three notes) is so fascinating to me. My favorite way to wear this is as a skin scent, which the ambroxan lends really well to. I spray it lightly on my pulse points, and layer it with a more fresh, fruity, luminescent body spray like Cheirosa 48. It really elevates and adds sensuality to any fruity fragrance. I heard from a different reviewer that it’s an absolute knockout when layered with Bianco Latte — I’m excited to try it on with milky scents too.

I’m in looove. I have a bottle of the original Her and I flew through a 30 ml bottle of the Elixir when it was released in 2022. I tested this flanker at Sephora on my skin and I loved it. The strawberry in the opening is so juicy and sweet and syrupy, the orange blossom adds some depth in the mid but this isn’t a floral scent by any means. The ambroxan was a perfect choice for the drydown, it’s fluffy and creamy without adding any extra sweetness. This is definitely sensual but the strawberry note is playful too. This scent is for a grown woman that has a big girl job and knows who she is in life, it’s a head turner and the men will love it. The longevity was also insane on my skin, the scent got more intense over time and I could still smell it several hours after I got home from Sephora and showered and everything. That being said, this fragrance was released in 2024 and the tester bottle at Sephora has been sitting with the cap off macerating for over 2 months, so that’s why I picked up a 50 ml bottle and I’m tolerating the bad longevity right now because I know it’ll be perfect for early summer. I hope this scent remains popular and they never discontinue it because it’s a gem in the designer market despite how simple it is. It’s sweet and fluffy enough for the cold months but airy enough for the warmer months. If I didn’t have such a massive collection this would be my signature scent.

If you love the opening notes of the other Burberry Her flankers but you hated the moss or sandalwood dry down after a few hours, this is the one for you! The strawberry note in this is so beautiful. If her elixir is a strawberry milkshake, this is a strawberry smoothie. I absolutely love the way it fades on my skin and have been smelling it every hour to check on it as I ended up regifting the elixir i purchased because all i could smell was the moss notes after 3-4 hrs which I didnt like. I also find that sometimes the original can be headache inducing. After trying Burberry her intense 2024 a few times in store, i ended up buying myself the 100ml as a valentine’s day gift. There’s not as much silage and longevity compared to both the original, elixir and also to rave now, but in my opinion, this one smells the best. I find I’m getting 4 hours of projection before it becomes a more intimate scent, but most fragrances don’t last very long on my skin. Excited to make this my signature scent for summer and spring. I never do reviews but i just had to share my experience with this gorgeous fragrance, as other reviewers seem to think this flanker is pointless if you have the other ones and I strongly disagree.

I can’t stand Burberry Her Elixir and the original Her is nice but is missing something to me. This one, however, I loved enough to buy the biggest bottle. It reminds me of PEZ candies and Sweet Tarts while also having an air of elegance. Youthful, but not juvenile, and simultaneously grown up. In comparison to the original, much more strawberry forward throughout. In comparison to Phlur Strawberry Letter, this is brighter. In the dry down, they are actually quite similar, but Her Intense is brighter and more femme. This smells pastel pink. The orange blossom feels candied and adds an undeniable air of bright but soft femininity. Just in time for spring, I can see this will be in heavy rotation.

I received Burberry Her Intense as a sample and I've fallen in love with it. I used to exclusively wear fruity scents and I've been really leaning towards gourmand and sweet scents this past year. Burberry Her is the perfect mixture of all of those. It's sweet and gourmand and radiates slightly fruity. I can smell it on me all day which says alot because I go nose blind with most fragrances. Now I'm nowhere near an expert, but I am very observant and analytical when it comes to how I smell and how I want to smell, and this is fragrance is in my top 5 for sure! It lasts all day and gets you all the compliments. If you like sweet scents you have to give it a try!
