How is it calculated?

These markers are an editorial estimate calculated automatically from the perfume's real accords and their intensity, following the classic reading of scent families (hesperidics and aromatics shine in summer and at the office, ambers and gourmands in winter and in the evening…). They do not come from user votes and do not replace a test on skin.

Why choose one… or the other?

Why choose Burberry London for Men

  • It brings what the other lacks — leather, oakmoss, mimosa.
  • Markedly fresher, carried by aromatic and citrus.
  • More track record: launched in 2006, it has been worn for 20 years.
  • More atypical composition in our catalogue (rare notes: port, mimosa).
  • No offer listed for the moment.
  • Lighter concentration (Eau de Toilette): lower theoretical longevity.

Why choose Illusion d'un Soir

  • It is more concentrated — Extrait de Parfum where the other is eau de toilette — so theoretically more tenacious.
  • Facets Burberry London for Men does not have: amber, benzoin, mandarin.
  • Markedly more enveloping, carried by amber and warm spicy.
  • Released in 2023, when the other dates from 2006.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.

The verdict

  • Most concentrated

    Illusion d'un Soir — Extrait de Parfum, so more material than an eau de toilette

  • Freshest

    Burberry London for Men — signature carried by aromatic and citrus

  • Most enveloping

    Illusion d'un Soir — signature carried by amber and warm spicy

  • Most original

    Burberry London for Men — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (port, mimosa)
