All about Burberry men's fragrances

Famous for its legendary plaid prints and timeless beige trench coats, the luxury British brand Burberry is famous not only for high-end clothing and accessories, but also for excellent perfumery. The collection of men's fragrances was created taking into account the style features and the general strategy of the brand. She declares a bold combination of elegant aristocracy with the rebellious spirit of modern British culture.

The Burberry story began in 1856. The milestones of such a long journey are:

• invention of gabardine fabric;
• production of clothing and equipment for the polar expeditions of Fridtjof Nansen and Raoul Amundsen;
• ordering military equipment for the British army;
• the title of Official Supplier to the Royal Household of Great Britain;
• creation of a trench coat;
• costumes for heroes of such cult films as "Casablanca", "Breakfast at Tiffany's";
• Since 1967, one of the symbols of Burberry has become a checkered pattern, created back in the 20s by Thomas Burberry.

The Burberry man is a knight in fashionable armor, because it was not for nothing that for many years (since 1901) the company's logo was a medieval equestrian, and his waving banner adorned the motto in Latin: Prorsum ("Forward!"). In 2018, the logo was finally replaced, and radically - with a laconic monogram from the initials of the founder, Thomas Burberry, and a simple chopped font. But the brand's unique aesthetics have remained unchanged. This is Britain in all its diversity: prim aristocrats and unrestrained rockers and anarchist punks, football fans and office clerks, famous English humor and London spleen.

In the design of the bottles and packaging of Burberry perfumery products, in the aromatic compositions of colognes and eau de toilette, a careful dedication to tradition can be traced. But this is not boring retro, but rethought in the spirit of modern realities, an elusively recognizable image, presented every time in a new guise.

Features of Burberry men's perfumery include:

• versatility of fragrances: they are suitable for different ages, for different seasons and times of day;
• original compositions for every taste: woody, oriental, leather, spicy, fougere, fresh;
• the aromas are characterized by European restraint, the absence of extravagant, shocking bouquets;
• the brand's artists develop the original design of bottles and boxes with references to the iconic Burberry cage (it's not for nothing that they are called "check fragrances") and other elements of the British style;
• many of Burberry's popular perfumery products have evolved into flanker lines;
• the brand regularly releases paired fragrances: male and female versions;
• despite the luxury status of the brand, the cost of perfumery is low, it belongs to the middle price segment, with the exception of limited editions.

The launch of the perfume line took place in 1981. Unlike many other fashion brands, the British made their debut product for men (women's perfume came out only 10 years later). Men's chypre fragrance Burberrys for Men (1981) - deep and soft kneading with top notes of mint and pine and peppery-leather sweetness in the opened bouquet. Sturdy, cozy and stylishly respectable at the same time. This is the starting point that can be found in subsequent products from the brand.

In 1995, the brand created a real hit - woody fougere Burberry Men Burberry fragrance.

Eau de Toilette Weekend for Men Burberry - this is another work of Michel Almarak for the British. The fresh and positive coolness of the citrus-herbal top notes flows into a thick and voluminous base of sandalwood, oakmoss and honey. The product has been in production since 1997, is regularly reissued, and has become one of the most iconic and most recognizable products.

The bottle is "dressed" in a gray smoky plaid packaging inspired by London fogs.

In 2005, the perfume received two awards from the FiFi Award Best National: for the most prestigious fragrance of the year and the best advertising campaign.
