Is Burberry London Still A GREAT Men's Fragrance? - Burberry London Review

[@willewonka3888]

This was my first fragrance that I ever bought. I love it so much!! Affordable, very very smooth addicting scent.. Going to be forever caring it with me since it is what started my fragrance journey

[@aaronjohnson8575]

Burberry London is definitely one of my favorite fragrances. It is a winter type fragrance but I tend to wear it year round. It kind of just fits for me.

the bottle is kinda hideous though. i'll still check it out ty

How about compliments man?

[@aaronjohnson8575]

@@alexgiedr6167 I get them but usually in close contact like a hug or something. It's not super overwhelming. I mostly wear it for me.

[@drycksgameplays]

I had a 30ml bottle that my Aunt gave me from US, I'm from Philippines, and when I smelled this fragrance for the first time without looking at any reviews, It reminds me of Christmas Season. I fell in love instantly, it gave me a warm, cozy, relaxing, feeling cold type of vibe!

[@The_Fragrance_Dude]

I love this juice around the holidays. It’s a Christmas tree in a bottle.

[@Memfys]

I have the littlest bottle of London and wear it approximately twice a year. I enjoy it. To me, it smells exactly like a christmas tree.

[@danielsnell6349]

Was gonna comment but that's exactly how I feel it. Wear it a couple times a year because it smells just like a Christmas tree and it's perfect for Christmas eve/morning

Love this scent...reminds me of Polo Green, but smoother. I think Burberry's biggest problem is performance. Only one from Burberry I get more the 4-5 hours from is Hero.

[@DK-nn8mm]

If sprayed on clothes, you can smell Burberry Brit for days. It is a beautiful scent as well.

[@riblet1000]

I only wear it in December. The performance is not great and I reapply after 4 hours when I wear it to work. I do love the Port Wine note which I find truly unique. Definitely one to keep in my collection.

[@kisu7771]

This was the fragrance that sparked this hobby. Blind bought it at ross minutes before they were about to close. At that time I wasn't a huge fan of it. I live in Hawai'i so it's not a type of scent we have around here but I grew to love it. I was popping by to find a fragrance that I'd keep in the car for when I go to the gym but the scent was so interesting and led me to blind buy a few more and that's when I discovered your channel. Hours of researching and learning everything.

[@vanja1132]

No way .I am wearing it today and this video comes out by my favorite frag youtuber. I love burberry london and touch a lot. Soon I will have big enough collection to send you to review/trash. Until then, all the best. Love your channel .

[@johnborges5938]

Glad to see a review of this outside of the holiday season, Ash. I've worn it between Thanksgiving and New Years for a few years now. No one else ever notices but I'm fond of it. Longevity is only 3-4 hours on my skin, though. I'm thinking I may take a break from it for a couple of years. I'm guessing after missing it for a while I'll likely have a greater appreciation for it.

[@1994rastaboy]

If someone would ask me to list my top 5 fragrances of all time, London definitely would be there.

I bought a bottle just for the past Christmas season, I still enjoy the bottle for the cost. It was well received working in public transit with many encounters with passengers. I got Many compliments about the holiday scent.

Going to work on the tube in the late 80’s, 90’s & 00’s. This was the smell I remember, it’s just gorgeous. Burberry named this perfectly. As u can probably tell I have a bottle & always will.

[@robzo87]

I have a Snobby collection of fragrances from all over, but I will always enjoy the smell of this. I think I paid around 30 bucks at Tj Max’s back in 2017 for a big bottle of London, and I still have some of it left over. Great for the Autumn!! The ladies love it.

[@gabrielremolina2827]

Great review, I think Burberry fragrances are sometimes overlooked. On a side note, seems like the audio from your videos keep getting duller and duller, if that makes sense. As if each time you record you are adding a layer of cloth over the mic.

[@SlevinSlix]

Burberry Brit and Burberry Touch are my everyday fragrances, but Fall and Winter always call for the London. It’s my new go-to for the cold weather. 🤙🏻

Burberry London is one of those fragrances that I will reach for and wear just because I want to. It doesn't project well but man... when you put it on and go to sleep, the tobacco smell after you wake up with knock your socks off.

[@9EricCN3]

Yes. Absolutely. It feels wrong to wear it at any time besides the winter holidays, but man, there's nothing better for those times.

[@TheOlzee]

I owned it as a youngster. It’s an all time classic imo. Winter only.

I love this one but I hate its performance which is basically an EDC on me. I've found that Odin 11 Semma is very, very close to Burberry London with better performance.

Try some le male le Parfum layered underneath it if you don't mind the vanilla twist. Increases the performance for me.

I went to our local Drug Emporium about a 2019, picked this up before Christmas and ever since it is Christmas in a bottle or what Z14 used to smell like in around 1979, that since then has died a thousands deaths .

[@boogiedaddy3434]

I scooped this one up a couple years ago right when I started getting deep into the fragrance game. I wanted a nice Christmas scent and so many people said this one was like Christmas in a bottle so I bought it. Now, I agree that it smells just like the holidays - it has the pine, the spices, and even hints of the brisk air. Love the smell. The issue for me was the fact that I literally could not smell it, even on my clothes, after an hour or so. Like it was totally gone. This has me thinking that it must have been reformulated at some point since it came out nearly 20 years ago.

[@roncondones]

i thought i had problem but i just went nose blind

[@boogiedaddy3434]

@@roncondones I thought so at first because I do have a couple fragrances (like Dylan Blue) that I do go noseblind to, but my sister and friends have also said they couldn't smell it on me anymore either. Idk, it's dirt cheap so I can just spray more.

A cool weather gold standard back in the day. Really liked the sweet cinnamon and cherry undertone originally, but the drydown was always a bit plasticy for me. Still use it from time to time.

[@Snake-filledChimp]

Hey, I just picked up a bottle of London a few weeks ago! I'm not exactly in love with it, the main reason being that I pick up kind of a weird "vegetable" note in it, especially in the first 30-60 minutes... I can't pinpoint what it is. Maybe I got a bad bottle? The dry down is much nicer with the cinnamon/spicy note. Performance is below average I'd say - maybe 4-6 hours and not much projection. I probably won't repurchase it.

[@B.K.74]

Best for rainy nights.

[@coontune]

Something about this fragrance just ended up not working for me after a while. But I’m actually really happy it didn’t, because I passed it down to a friend and he loves it and it has been the beginning of his fragrance collection. Not a bad fragrance by any means, just didn’t work for me.

[@DJSolitone]

Hi friend. No idea why but your voice sounds very muffled like a low quality mp3 on this review. Strange as your music background is fine. Check your mixing settings or your mike vibration dampening. And yes London smells awesome! Thanks for the review!

[@stackofpancakes9306]

Picked up an almost full bottle from my buddy for $20 bucks…LOVE IT at that price but with the performance I wouldn’t want to pay much more than that.

Of course! Yes it is, Burberry is still a class of it's own.

[@jarridsteel6229]

I found a 50ml in the wild for $25 CAD and snagged it. It's a pretty great fragrance for that price but I feel like it wouldn't be worth it full retail.

[@Pobbatron]

When I smelled it I knew it was for me I knew I had to have it

[@Kenoji8]

I will agree that it is a great scent and is a timeless scent. But the issue with the performance that Ash mentions here is much worse for my skin type. I owned this fragrance years ago and liked it when I got it, but it doesn't last hardly as much time on me. I can only detect it for like two hours and that is it, if that, but while it lasted it was quite nice. I always argued -- despite me not really liking these concentration flankers that are happening nowadays -- that Burberry should make a Burberry London Parfum or something similar to push the presence and performance of the original to a more passable outcome. Also, it is funny that Ash mentions D&G The One because in my experience with the EDP, it ALSO has pretty poor performance and I didn't keep it for long. To each their own, I'd say, but I like to have my fragrances last for at least a decent amount of time on skin instead of flying off quickly. But others have had better outcomes than me, so for them, I'm glad the fragrance works.

[@DK-nn8mm]

Ever tried wearing it on clothes rather than your skin? I usually spray my clothes since scents tend to not last at all on my body.

Also could use ambroxan first

I bought this recently with a batch code of 2355- Dec 2022 manufactured. The juice is so weak, I need to spray at least 2 sprays to smell anything and it vanishes in 15 minutes. When I complained this to the seller, he said it was reformulated and these days it is quite weak. Is this true?
