Burberry Eau de Parfum 50ml — also known as Burberry Classic for Women — is the original 1995 women's fragrance from the British heritage house, composed by master perfumer Michel Almairac. A floral-fruity classic, it opens with juicy peach, apricot, pear and blackcurrant, blooms into a soft heart of jasmine, sandalwood and moss, and settles onto a warm, comforting drydown of vanilla, cedar and musk. Houses in the embossed-glass Burberry check flacon.
About Burberry
Founded in 1856 in Basingstoke, Burberry built its reputation on outerwear — gabardine, the trench coat, the iconic check — before extending into accessories, fragrance and beauty. The Burberry Classic women's perfume was the brand's first major women's fragrance launch, helping cement its 1990s reputation as one of Britain's defining luxury labels.

Who it's for
Burberry Classic suits women who like fruity-florals warmed by woods and vanilla — fragrance that feels feminine without becoming sugary. It is at its best in autumn and winter, where the cedar, vanilla and musk drydown can develop, and pairs naturally with knitwear, evening events and the kind of polished British wardrobe Burberry itself sells. A sentimental favourite for anyone who came of age in the late 1990s.
How to use
- Hold the embossed-check flacon around 15 cm from the skin.
- Spray onto pulse points — wrists, the side of the neck, behind the ears.
- Two to three sprays balance presence and longevity.
- For longer trail in cool weather, mist lightly across the hair or a wool scarf.
