My Burberry Black

My Burberry Black by Burberry (2016)

Released in 2016 and crafted by master perfumer Francis Kurkdjian, My Burberry Black is the deeper, more sensual evolution of the original My Burberry. Built around jasmine, peach, rose, candied rose, amber, and patchouli, this floral oriental Parfum concentration takes the My Burberry DNA of “London garden after the rain” and transforms it into “London garden in a gathering storm.” The result is a richer, more sensual composition that has become a beloved Burberry favorite.

Our interpretation captures the same iconic floral oriental signature as a long-lasting Eau de Parfum, made in the EU.

The Story Behind the Scent

Francis Kurkdjian collaborated with Burberry creative director Christopher Bailey to create My Burberry Black as a darker counterpart to the original My Burberry. The brief: capture a London garden in a gathering storm, where heavy rain contrasts with warm, captivating flora. The result fuses sun-drenched jasmine and peach nectar with sensual rose and rich amber patchouli, creating one of Burberry’s most distinctive feminine compositions.

How It Smells

The opening is immediately rich and slightly fruity with peach nectar and rose petals that signal sensual depth ahead. There is an instant sense of warm British femininity, neither shy nor flashy.

The heart blooms with sun-drenched jasmine flower and candied rose, joined by warm floral accents. This is where My Burberry Black distinguishes itself from the lighter original My Burberry. The dry-down settles on warm amber and refined patchouli. A base that lingers on skin for many hours with sensual, slightly sweet, deeply elegant feminine depth.
