Burberry Summer Women

Summer for Women by Burberry

Crafted by master perfumer Francis Kurkdjian (the nose behind Baccarat Rouge 540 and Burberry Her), Burberry Summer for Women was the brand’s annual seasonal release that captured the bright sunlit feel of summer. Built around grapefruit, lemon, green apple, freesia, peony, rose, cedarwood, amber, and musk, this composition offered a fresh fruity floral that became a beloved seasonal favorite for warm weather wear.

The Burberry Summer line and its annual editions have been discontinued. Our interpretation references the iconic Summer formulation as a long-lasting Eau de Parfum, made in the EU.

The Francis Kurkdjian Touch

Francis Kurkdjian is one of the most celebrated perfumers of the modern era, known for Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540, Le Male for Jean Paul Gaultier, and many other influential fragrances. For Burberry Summer, his refined approach turned what could have been a generic seasonal fruity floral into a beautifully balanced sunlit composition.

How It Smells

The opening is immediately bright and juicy with grapefruit, lemon, and crisp green apple lifted by sunny citrus. There is an instant sense of summer, like bright sunlight on a garden in full bloom.

The heart introduces freesia, peony, and rose, creating a refined floral bouquet that bridges the bright fruity opening with the warm dry-down. The dry-down settles on smooth cedarwood, soft amber, and clean musks. A base that lingers on skin for hours with refined, sunlit elegance.
