Burberry
London
Burberry released London in 2006, composed by Antoine Maisondieu for men. The opening presents a warm, aromatic blend of cinnamon and lavender, with bergamot adding a brief, bright lift. As the initial freshness recedes, a soft leather note emerges, textured by the delicate, powdery sweetness of mimosa. This heart settles into a rich base where dry tobacco leaf is prominent, supported by the smoky warmth of guaiac wood. Opoponax contributes a resinous, amber-like depth, while oakmoss grounds the composition with an earthy, mossy character, lending a slightly animalic undertone. The overall impression is one of a warm, spiced wood and leather scent, with a noticeable tobacco presence. It suits cooler seasons like autumn and winter, and is appropriate for both daytime wear in a professional setting or evenings out.
