Boudicea Rules
It's brave to give a perfume the name of the city. Scuttlebut tells me Yves Saint Laurent was sent to Coventry (not London) by his contemporaries when he used 'Paris'. I don't know if there is any basis to that gossip.
Should there be great gravitas attached to the consideration of 'London' for the name of a fragrance? It's forever now, so I suppose there should be. Does it fit?
Does every woman who wears 'Beautiful' have to be beautiful, technically? Is every woman who wears 'London' expected to know that the fearsome Queen of the Iceni, Boudicea, retook Plowonida, or modern day London to you, from the Roman conquerors? That London sits on a bed of red ash from the fires that destroyed it?
It was a tale that Queen Victoria capitalised on when she became Queen at the age of eighteen, part of her marketing campaign, one might say. Elizabeth the 2nd became Queen as a young woman of twenty five just as her namesake, Elizabeth Tudor, did in the 1500s. I'm really warming to the idea of a heady white floral becoming a symbol for London; the association is working for me now. Strong women, loyal and true, warlike at times, but always women. I will wear 'London' with pride. As a Jasmine lover it's dead easy.

My Dad, dead now, might sing 'Any, any, any old iron' with the best of them but his favourite, surely, was
"I get a funny feeling inside of me, when I'm walking up and down. Maybe it's because I'm a Londoner, that I love London town'

Elegant honeysuckle with tangerine
Minus things= Bottle a bit tacky. Not ergonomic.
Sillage isnt wow.
+ longevity is middle or under middle.
You cant see how much liquid I got because cloth of Burberry style doesnt let u see.
Sometimes too much tangerine coming to my nose.

Plus things= my best loved perfumor 's Job he is Dominique Ropion.
Wait till strong tangerine flows, the heart is beautiful, elegant, soft, romantic honeysuckle, light rose(little bit), jasmine combination.
Not bad quality I think thats good quality + very realistic honeysuckles.
Thats one of the best honeysuckle perfumes in market(affordable one).
For me right now BEST BURBERRY WOMEN perfume.(the others are bad longevity or weird bad smells).
If u like WHİTE FLORALS u can blind buy this, cause very safe.

London sophistication
Very rarely do I test a fragrance and feel the sudden urge to buy it right then and there without letting it develop fully on my skin. However, London was almost an exception.

London is such a delicate and pretty floral scent. Not only is the fragrance beautiful when you first apply, but it continues its heavenly scent right until the very end. There is nothing to dislike about this fragrance.

It has a classic-like smell, possibly because of the rose and jasmine notes, however this is in no way an 'old lady' perfume. The scent is soft, feminine, youthful and elegant.

I wouldn't describe London as being outrageously sexual or provocative, because it definitely is none of those. Burberry scents are what I refer to as 'comfort scents', fragrances that you can feel comfortable wearing during the daytime, around the house, on a picnic or simply relaxing. I love that laid-back approach they have when creating their scents.

Although I have never been to London, I believe this fragrance has captured the beauty and history that makes London so special. This fragrance would also be suited to England's cold climate, with its ability to create warmth and to uplift your spirits on a cold Winter's day.

Although I resisted the urge to purchase this fragrance the other day, it will definitely stayed fixed on my wishlist until I buy it, which will probably be very soon.

A little goes a long way
Warning: Be light on the trigger with this! I was a bit careless and sprayed as much as I usually do. This is a GRAND bouquet of white flowers where no one stands out compared to the others. For me it is enough to spray on the finger and dab a little behind the ears. In moderation it is absolutely lovely and a compliment getter.

Classic and relaxing
Burberry's London is such a nice, relaxing scent. I love the jasmine notes it initially gives off, and the bottle fits the smell perfectly - a classic. The longevity of the scent is great - usually a little on your pressure points is enough. It's a very traditional scent, I suppose, but I absolutely love the design and scent of London. This is one of my favourite perfumes for autumn and especially winter.

I am a tall, well-built, sporty, 36 year old man who has been wearing this perfume for a while. It's clean, easy, smooth, and uplifting.

Pretty floral, woody, musk, with a hint of citrus and earthy patchouli. Perfect for spring, rainy days, casual events. Very English garden.

It's mostly just nice and plain jasmine but other notes make it a bit more intersting.

Inoffensive long lasting jasmine scent. It feels a bit odd for me to wear as a younger guy, but it’s a nice scent

If white collar sophistication had a scent, it'd be Burberry's London for her. Clementine, honeysuckle, jasmine and musk. Oh la!
