Introducing Mr. Burberry


Burberry is launching Mr. Burberry, its first iconic men's fragrance, on Tuesday, April 5, 2016. The campaign visuals were created by the award-winning British film director Steve McQueen, who masterfully visualised the coexistence of tradition and innovation, the contrasting elements that define Mr. Burberry. It is a fragrance brimming with British charm.

Monogramming Service Available


Burberry, a leading British luxury brand, has released Mr. Burberry, its first iconic fragrance for men. Mr. Burberry captures the essence of London as perceived by the brand, embodying 'tradition' and 'innovation,' 'classic' and 'rebellion,' making it a truly Burberry fragrance.

The scent, crafted by world-renowned perfumer Francis Kurkdjian, features top notes of grapefruit, tarragon, and cardamom; heart notes of birch leaf, nutmeg oil, and cedarwood; and base notes of vetiver, guaiacwood, and sandalwood. This herbal woody fragrance uniquely blends traditional British perfumery with unexpected elements.

The bottle design incorporates details from the Made in England trench coat, featuring a ribbon made from cotton gabardine—the same fabric used for the trench—produced in Yorkshire, England. The cap is modelled after the coat's buttons, and the entire bottle is finished in black, one of the brand's signature colours. Similar to the women's iconic fragrance My Burberry, a monogramming service for up to three initials is available.

A Sensual and Striking Campaign Visual


The highly sensual and striking campaign visuals for Mr. Burberry were directed by Academy Award and Turner Prize winner, British film director Steve McQueen. The cast features actor/musician Josh Whitehouse and actress/model Amber Anderson, with the track being "I Won't Complain" by Mercury Prize-winning musician Benjamin Clementine.
