The new masculine fragrance Mr Burberry Indigo — a clever blend of British classicism and renewed modernity, the Mr Burberry fragrance has been pleasing men since its release in 2016. It displays a presence that is both sensual and virile.
Burberry, with its historic and now iconic trench coat, has always offered its distinctly British world, one that delights in cultivating its past as much as in offering brilliant new creations. In perfumery, Burberry does not hesitate to cultivate this clever blend of eras in original fragrances that sing British praises with punch and elegance. Mr Burberry, the masculine counterpart to My Burberry, embodies this man who is both elegant and daring. Mr Burberry Indigo, still composed by Francis Kurkdjian, plays even further with the contrasts of this decidedly elusive man.
Mr Burberry Indigo, or the heightened freshness of a men's fragrance with tousled elegance
The famous Burberry trench coat never stops turning heads, and it is always worn with class and distinction but above all with a very trendy spirit. Far from having stopped at making its trench coat, Burberry offers couture collections where traditional craftsmanship meets the most modern trends, which could not fail to also influence Burberry perfumery.
While Burberry fragrances were first offered in feminine bottles, men have never been forgotten by the house. On the contrary, Burberry's masculine fragrances have always been just as classic but also just as daring as the feminine fragrances. Mr Burberry, composed by Francis Kurkdjian in 2014, fully corresponds to the values of the house, which continues to proclaim its British roots through scents that are thoroughly British while highlighting them with impressive modernity and boldness.
The idea was to compose a fragrance that would be the olfactory equivalent of a house trench coat: easy to wear, timeless, cross-generational, sophisticated, but not overly formal, Francis Kurkdjian said of Mr Burberry for Vogue.
The man of Mr Burberry Indigo, a lovely 2018 flanker, is therefore not so different from the one of the original bottle. However, it takes things much further with its fresh, oceanic, indigo-colored accords, which evoke far more the Britain of the coastlines than its great urban capitals. Thanks to Mr Burberry Indigo, the city dweller of Mr Burberry opens up to the open sea air.
Lemons, violets and woody sensuality for an ever more contrasted Mr Burberry Indigo
As Christopher Bailey intended for Mr Burberry, Francis Kurkdjian crafted for this new masculine fragrance a fresh and contrasted composition that perfectly represents the man who wears the Burberry trench coat. For Mr Burberry Indigo, the perfumer added tangy zests and touches of powdery retro violet to heighten the striking contrasts of this new flanker.
Mr Burberry Indigo thus opens on intense freshness of lemon enhanced by aromatic notes of rosemary, a signature of the original bottle. At the heart, lavender is gone; instead it is replaced by a note of mint, once again evoking the sharp freshness of the British coastline. This time there are no spices, but rather a lovely violet flower that brings its powdery roundness to the invigorating breezes of Mr Burberry Indigo. As for the depths, Francis Kurkdjian managed to preserve the beauty of the warm, amber, sensual woods of the original bottle, creating, as always, in this Mr Burberry Indigo, warm-cool contrasts that are as intense as they are surprising.
