The Scent: My Burberry
 
The Fashion House: Burberry
 
Key Notes: Sweet pea, bergamot, freesia, rose absolute and patchouli
 
Why We Love It: Inspired by a London garden after the rain, this grand floral fragrance was developed by world-renowned perfumer Francis Kurkdjian—the mastermind behind a host of celebrated fragrances including those from Jean Paul Gaultier and Narciso Rodriguez. The bright and fresh scent is confident yet understated and perfectly represents the timelessness of the Burberry brand. The glass bottle features a hand-tied ribbon knot made from English-woven gabardine to honor the famed Burberry trench coat and it’s fabric—the cap is reminiscent of the buttons. “My Burberry is the true embodiment of our brand, in scent, design and attitude,” says Christopher Bailey, CEO of Burberry. “A fragrance that takes its lead from the iconic Burberry trench has to be outstanding in every way.” $125 (3.0 oz), sephora.com
