‘My most-complimented perfume is the perfect floral fragrance for date nights'
Shopping Writer Meghan has been putting a range of perfumes to the test lately as she's on the hunt for the perfect summer scent - and she thinks she might have found it
I've been looking for the perfect sweet and alluring perfume to transition to as we approach the summer months, and I might have found just the thing. Though I'm notorious for not having an amazing sense of smell or a vast collection of perfume, I've been trying to branch out from my go-to scents this year.
The spring and summer seasons are the perfect time to switch out your staple winter fragrances for something lighter and sweeter that emulates the florals and fruits of the sunnier months - and this gem from Burberry does just that.
A perfume I've started reaching for on summer evenings, whether I'm heading out with friends or on a sunset date, is this Burberry Her Intense Eau de Parfum, which is touted as a gourmand fruity fragrance that's balanced with the warmth of ambery wood, creating a sweetness and seductiveness that's earned it a place in my favourite scents collection.
The lushly layered Burberry Her Eau de Parfum Intense is set to be a magnetic fragrance that elevates your signature scent to new heights - and boy, does this scent impress. The first night I wore it was for a date night over a sunny weekend, and it wasn't just my boyfriend who was quick to notice the alluring aroma of my new perfume. The woman sat at the table next to us went out of her way to compliment the scent, and was eager to know what fragrance I was wearing.
The multi-faceted Burberry perfume is perfect for creating an entrance with a bold and head-turning aroma. Leading with vibrant wild strawberry and radiant notes of orange blossom, this perfume's layered scent goes beyond the delectable gourmand top notes, surrounding a warm and woody amber core, creating a seductive aroma that envelops you as you head out for a night on the town.
Encased in a modern lacquered matte-pink bottle that adds an understated dash of luxury to my vanity, this perfume offers an expression of refined femininity from the British brand. Offering an enchanting and elegant fragrance that seamlessly transitions from day to night, the scent retains the addictive charm of the original Burberry scent while leaving a stronger impression that is sure to get you compliments wherever you go.
Normally retailing for £75 for 30ml, shoppers can pick up a bottle from Sephora for the reduced price of £63.75, from Boots for £60 and from Notino for £55.93 (using the code SCENT at checkout). Or if you don't mind paying full price, Lookfantastic is selling 30ml for £75.
It's not just me who's a converted devotee of this Burberry fragrance, as 5-star reviews pour in. One thrilled customer shares: "I truly love the way of this smells, and d how long lasting it is I get a ton of compliments on it all the time it's got a strong set, but not in an unpleasant way!"
Another buyer beams: "So many compliments! 'HER intense' has layers of elegance and maturity but the initial strawberry smells vaguely like a childhood memory that I loved but couldn't place. Then it hit me - Those old strawberry shortcake dolls from the 80s! The amber makes it grown up. I absolutely love it."
And a third raves: " Burberry Her Intense is a really standout fragrance. It's bold and deep, perfect for nights out or when you want something a little more wow without being too much. The scent sticks around for hours, so you don't have to worry about it fading quickly."
