English garden in rainy day

It is already Fall. I am at home reading a book and drinking warm peach tea. I look at the window and notice that it is raining. As I open the window, the room is filled with that great smell. It is a mix of my peachtea, rain, soil and a little bit of roses. A nische-like fragrancy. Longlasting, luxurious, uncomplicated

Warm cosy peaches

I first tried this in my sisters collection a few years ago. It was an instant love. The combination of peaches and rose, with Amber in the base is fabulous.
Longevity is really good, I can smell it throughout the day.
It's one of my favourite designer fragrances, and I don't regret buying it in the 90ml bottle.

from the endless depths ...

....of my handbag, I unearthed a small black box today.
My Burberry black.
Oh Mr. Kurkdjian created the scent.
That raises high expectations.

The fragrance reaches me buttery soft and gourmand - quite untypical for a Burberry.
The fullness of the scent is also unusual - but appealing.

A single timid spray develops into a veritable cloud, where the candied rose, topped with peach nectar, dominates.
Amber serves as the "scent bed" for these two prominent ingredients, softened by patchouli.

Nevertheless, Black remains surprisingly powerful, and does not leave my side by even a millimeter.

However, I do not perceive it as black - rather velvety red, like the sweet rose petals.
Black does have a tendency towards heaviness - good thing I applied it cautiously, otherwise it could be too much of a good thing.
The longevity is enormous - respect.

A beautiful gourmand in itself - but it probably comes into its own best in winter.

The TGV by Burberry

The EdP would have actually pleased me, but...would have...if only Bergamot and Freesia hadn't teamed up and launched an attack on me. Would have over would have. But with the Black version, that's a thing of the past. Now, Is reigns over Is!
Is it strong? Yes...it is strong! Is it floral? Oh yes, and how floral it is. As if horsepower were rushing through the gas pedal to the engine to give it the (hoof) kick to take off, billions of micro-particles loaded with lush Jasmine burst from the bottle, barely giving you a moment to consider pressing the sprayer. Those little critters were already sniffing around my new and absolutely pristine glass bottle before I even got to the eagerly anticipated spraying. I thought to myself, this is going to be quite the ride! That would turn out to be an understatement.
So, as mentioned, the Jasmine stampede opens the scent blast and leaves me completely flattened for a few moments. But somehow wonderful, even if really intense. You get plowed into the still unscented air behind and beside you as if you had jumped onto a TGV at the front. Yes, yes...that works in the movies! In the mind's eye too. To ensure you don't fall off the speeding vehicle, it's quite difficult to hold on, but a very sugary Rose and a lot of Peach Nectar come to the rescue as glue, and the rapid ride continues. Curves? Not a chance. It goes straight ahead at top speed, and sometimes you almost feel like you're heading straight for doom. The scent is so strong at times that, despite the pace, you want to spell the word "give up." But a real perfume holds on and clings tightly to the high-tech express train. Somewhere, we finally pass through places where the speed is slightly reduced, and at all the stations, the Amber flag is waved. Luckily, this takes some of the wind out of the Jasmine's sails before I run out of breath. I am immensely relieved when we reach our destination. Slowly, the train rolls in with squeaking brake blocks and a rushing sound into the terminal covered with glass domes on steel supports and finally comes to a complete stop. The people on the platform suddenly rush to the compartments to catch their loved ones. I, meanwhile, peel myself off the glue and let myself slide down to the tracks at the front of the train. Even as I reach the wall up to the platform, the dense cloud of Patchouli from the bouquets that many gentlemen have brought to greet their ladies reaches me. Dazed from the ride and this final plea of the fragrance, I drag myself to a bench and let myself sink onto it. What a ride!
My Burberry Black is a fragrance whose concentration nearly paralyzes the senses even in small amounts, whose Jasmine has the power of a herd of Mustangs and sweeps over you as if there were no tomorrow. Luckily, this intensity is somewhat tamed by Rose and Peach, and Amber envelops softly and darkly. In the end, you also have to endure Patchouli. If you like all these notes, if you love strong and present fragrances with a statement, and if EdP and EdT were too weak for you, then you will find what you need here. Black came just at the right time for me, but I don't always feel like such a train ride.
Now and then, however, I like to hop on...this TGV by Burberry.

drool lust crave

This is my first Burberry fragrance. The other Burberrys never interested me, mainly because of the terrible check patterns (sorry to all the fans) and the regular My Burberry was too soapy and bland for me.
Then I discovered My Burberry Black during my weekly addiction trips to the perfume store. I grabbed the bottle (my God, what a chunk, at least here in D.) and sprayed it on a test strip. Wow.. What a wave of sweetness hit me. I couldn't pick out any of the ingredients. It was just sweet!
Well, it was okay. I stuck the strip in my handbag and moved on.

When I emptied my handbag that evening, the strip came back into my hands. Ohhh.. that smells good. What was that again? My Burberry Black came to mind. Since it now had something I liked, I placed it on my dresser. All evening and night, my room smelled of My Burberry. Incredible, even Alien and Angel couldn't achieve that with me. I was really fascinated.

A week later, I strolled back into the big D. and sprayed the fragrance on my wrist. Yes, it is intense and sweet.. but it has something. Something that captivates me.. honestly, I don't smell any peach nectar or anything like that. I only smell a sugary sweet rose and the jasmine. Later, the amber and patchouli come through and make it more luscious.
But I don't care, it just smells good. I love this fragrance.
In summer, it would be too much for me. Now that it’s getting colder, I could bathe in it. But be careful, as mentioned before, one or two spritzes are more than enough with this fragrance. More and you’ll get a headache and annoy others with it..

I think that despite this lush rosy sweetness, the fragrance has something elegant about it. It is very sweet, but also sexy and feminine. This is not a teen fragrance, but something for women who know what they want! It’s more of an evening scent. Wearable during the day, but then preferably in the colder months.

Even though My Burberry Black doesn’t exactly stand out, it has potential. But I don’t care, it doesn’t always have to be special :) I’m into it and will carry the scent with me for a long time ;)

I thought black=mysterious and deep. All I get here is caramelized pineapple.

Totally unexpected! A beautiful, chocolatey peach perfume. Had a not seen the notes, I would bet anything on chocolate being the main note.

I absolutely love the dry down on this. Could smell it days later. I wasn't sold on the opening tho. Overall, it is a proper fragrance.

Not one I'd try without prompting, but my ultimate frou frou comfort scent. Weird, right?

Devilishly obsessed, jasmine undulating and candied roses dancing, I fall into a patchouli-hallucinating sweet, cotton-soft peach trance! Yeah!

A rather penetrating and especially sweet floral scent with good projection. It reminds me of special edition fabric softeners.

Candy - / Sugar, nectar, amber: Can it get any better? Super sweet, sticky cocktail with a sugar rim and a little umbrella next to the maraschino cherry.
