Burberry Her Elixir de Parfum
by Burberry
Burberry Her Elixir de Parfum presents a gourmand interpretation of the original Burberry Her, delivering a pronounced sweet and creamy strawberry note trimmed with vanilla and sensitive sandalwood. On many skin chemistries, the perfume transforms into a soft, powdery, and lactonic cushion, leading some to describe it as a non-photorealistic strawberry milkshake. The sillage is moderate to strong initially, fading to a skin-scent within hours, while longevity supports a full day on skin and up to 10+ hours on clothing with forceful application. It performs best in cool or winter weather, its character of sweetness making it less suitable for warm seasons. The composition emphasizes floral nuance in the form of jasmine and a rich amber velvet backbone. It is distinct from the original Her, being denser, creamier, and more lasting, yet shares key DNA with the Her line—making it ideal for those seeking a sweet, girly scent with generous staying power and ambient warmth. Unlike the original, there is little or no synthetic 'plastic' or medicinal note per most reviews, thus offering a more refined and accessible experience.
Pros
- +A pronounced creamy, vanilla-strawberry lactonic profile that stands out in gourmand fragrance collections.
- +Longevity is strong, especially on clothing, and remains noticeable on skin for a full day.
- +A refined, smooth transition from initial fruity burst to a soft, powdery dry-down, suitable for cool seasons.
Cons
- −Can be excessively sweet or cloying for those sensitive to gourmands, risking nausea or dizziness on some skin types.
- −Ironic in its branding—while fiercely tested as a 'version' of Her, it has divergent scent notes and lasting power, differing from original Her in key ways.
- −Moderate to low sillage on some skins after 1–2 hours, and does not project strongly in larger spaces.
