It was crafted as an evening fragrance by Francis Kurkdjian and focuses on animalic notes blended with warm accords. The opening note is jasmine, but quickly resolves to the heart notes of rose and peach. The rose is a dark, blood-red rose rather than a delicate pink flower. The peach fragrance is juicy and ripe, keeping the base notes of creamy, rich amber and patchouli from becoming too spicy. This is an unmistakably sensual scent that is sophisticated and sexy. The fragrance has impressive longevity and is quite powerful, so wear sparingly until you know how it will bloom on your skin. My Burberry Black is a bold, edgy fragrance for a confident, mature woman.
