Burberry London by Burberry Cologne/Fragrance Review (2006)

[anderskittilsen]

im really sure i smell banana :P

[highonbetter]

Not a bad cologne i wouldnt over due this one. i had a buddy that would honestly wear 10-15 sprays when he went out. and it would almost make you sick if you drove with him .or stood by him. i believe less is more with this one.id say 1 big pump and a tiny one on the wrist.trust me they will smell it

[Imsorryfragcomm]

can a highschooler wear this?

[EtherMagic]

@Imsorryfragcomm  This is for men with BIG BALLS!!! Not sure a High Schooler could wear this, unless he has Big Balls already?!

[eagles104life]

@Imsorryfragcomm sure, but save this one for occasions like family gatherings or even date nights

[Flinginflanginable]

What do you think is a good relaxing, invititing and warm fragrance designer wise? Not including London or other more popular fragrances. I'm just looking for something more unique in that area.

[HeardGraceshot]

Are there any good fragrances that you know of that you'd give 10 bottles for longevity?

[170324341a]

Your review and general taste and insight, have caused me to buy a 3.4 oz bottle of London. I love it. One of my fave purchases of the month, and it was a steal at less than 50 dollars.

Thanks, robes08!

[staybrutal19]

i was wondering what that cherry i was getting was, must be that wine! Good review, always love all of ur reviews

[devman224224]

[Leo2010Messi]

burberry london is awesome!

[chronomax1]

One of my all time favorites,a nice boozy tabacco winter scent.

[cceessaarr234]

Just bought it for PAPIII

[TRMDYLE666]

mmm. Booze and tobacco. This one is as good as bought by me. ;)

[MAMARIONA]

Is fragrancenetcom a safe store online to buy colognes???

[BAGreat01]

@MAMARIONA sure why not, use the "basenotes" code for an extra 15% off. Happy shopping :)

[shogunate83]

Very good fragrance! It is a must buy imo.

[tonycapp1987]

love this!!! Just used up my bottle...gonna try to get another one thou

[nevermoregg]

Hey I wonder if this is good for everyday use.

[martinaee]

LOL "with a little coat"---- you don't want your frags to get too cold ;)

I actually am really liking Burb London. Definitely a cold weather frag but VERY nice. I am definitely going to look into the other Burberry frags.

[Faheem1Kolognes]

it lasts..but doesn't project on my skin :(

[method526]

hey marc! i was thinking about using london as my go-to fragrance in the fall/winter and le male as my "special occassion" fragrance. this semester, my classes are around the evening/night time so i think london would be fine for those times, right? i work in retail so i'm probably not going to waste any when i work. thanks for the vids!

[Grapes428]

All of the Burberry fragrances are equally as good, just meant for different times. But Burberry London is the best one hands down for going out, like to clubs or bars. Everybody has their fragrance preferences, and me personally I like the ones that project the best and last the longest on my skin. Burberry and Dolce & Gabanna are the 2 best with that.

[Johnnyboybravo]

How much should one put if they have the splash? and where?

[WhatsThatAftershave]

hi

for an autumn sent that is ok 4 everyday use and in the office but is still good at projection and longevity is this okay or would u go with something more like gucci pour homme II

help :S

thanx

[robes08]

@WhatsThatAftershave Gucci pour homme II is a great everyday office wear fragrance

[WhatsThatAftershave]

@robes08 Thanks for replying

ur videos help alot !!!! keep up the good work!

[jnthnnixon]

@robes08 is this discontinued?

[vtec82]

@robes08 hi marc, really enjoyed your reviews. just wondering if you've have a review on the Dunhill range eg. desire, london, etc coz i would like to know your take on these frangrances (esp desire red or blue). surprisingly, i dont see many reviews about Dunhill. just a suggestion, thanks.

[deadjailorrocknroll]

@WhatsThatAftershave nice... but kenneth cole rsvp is better.

[shypoetry09]

whabout if youre in youre early 30's? is it good age for 30's group :) i dont own any burberry london :(

[shypoetry09]

whabout if youre in youre early 30's? is it good age for 30's group :)

[LeanderRyzing]

Ive been using this for two years xD im 15 now ive fell in love with rocky mountain wood

[LongDongSilver78]

thought this was the shit when i first got it. 212's a good one too..

[PatersonPlayground]

Does the one for males smell similar to the one for females

[PokemonRawksBrah]

You said it comes in 3.4oz. I just ordered a 3.3oz tester online, is that a fake then? I saw the other youtube reviewer CutlassSupremeSL had a 3.3oz. So whats the deal with that?

Thanks,

[Guinea54]

Judging from your review, and note lineup, I think this cologne might be a very time sensitive one. Some people get decent projection and longevity like Ashkan. I am guessing you get kind of decent too judging from your marks. Some get real bead though. I got a tester and I see arabic writing on the box. What do you think of that?

[leviedman]

Hello, how long is the scent lasting on you? it really doesn't last long on me, i really like the smell very much but it only lasts about 4-5 hours on me.

[KYkMan]

I feel that London is a very Fall'ish scent.

When i smell it straight from the bottle, i get a cinnamon and raked leaves.

Love this fragrance.

To the people that ask if young guys can wear this. Im 17, it just matters how you carry yourself and how you dress IMO.

but no younger than 16 i think.

[GuitarStringSnap]

Hi! I'm 15, a sophomore in high school, and just recently got into cologne. I got a bottle of this in the mail today (got a 3.4oz tester for $25!) and I feel like I can pull it off. The spices at the beginning are a bit too strong but once it hits the port wine I think it blends nicely with my skin and is great for lasting through the school day. This is "festive" so I think I'll save it for certain days. I'm expecting a bottle of Cool Water soon - what other fragrances do you recommend?

[ConnorDand13]

I've got this aftershave and im only 14! Everyone i know likes it :)

[SonsOfBelhor]

@ConnorDand13 cuz you're a stud...

[1023clint]

hey Mark love yr reviews im addicted to watchin them gotta check out at least 1 everyday, quick question im looking for a very alluring cologne but not too strong as le male or angel men , probably one notch down awith great longevity and not as common as aqua di gio or 212 or cool water that will leave a very lasting impression with the ladies , lookin fwd to yr response thanks

[Ryanbassist]

Just got the sampler 2day.... As a younger guy (23 years old) I did like this scent. It does smell as good as everyone says and I do understand how people can relate this scent to Christmas...But on the flipside I am not gonna buy a bigger bottle just for the fact that for me I think its a bit mature and it doesnt really match my personality as much as Id like... In a few years though im deffinitly going to be getting a bigger bottle

[rubeo1971]

This fragrance is way more complex, than simply labeling it the "Christmas" tree scent. I think it emcompasses all the great scents that fall, especially late fall, has to offer. I'm from the Northwest, and it reminds completely of the Northwest in the late fall, early winter.

[SonsOfBelhor]

question: how many and where? :)

[mjmont92]

Can I wear this? I'm 18. I know you said 20+ but do you think it would smell like i was wearing my dads cologne. On a 18 year old in the winter, that is. My mom and sister love the smell, I haven't smelled it, however. Also, would Brit be a better alternative? Help me out!

[robes08]

@mjmont92 sure wear whatever you feel like, the age thing is just something I say to pinpoint the best age.. you won't smell like a dad

[mjmont92]

@robes08 Thanks for the help! I might just buy both.

[ApoCalypsis95]

@mjmont92 i am 15 and im wearing it :D

[soundofmetal]

I recently got a bottle and it doesn't smell as strong as I remember it. How can you tell if it is a fake or not? Are there any markings or writing on the bottle that make it legit from counterfeits?

[boblove099]

could you wear this all year round??

[robes08]

@boblove099 I would not but others do, go with what feels right to you. Too christmas-y for me to wear in the heat

[pepperonipizza1993]

In britain burberry fragrance is considered trashy as all the "chavs" wear it plus they all wear burberry hats.

[CanwllCorfe615]

I'm not sure if you're still on the lookout for cinnamon dominated fragrances but for 15$ I don't think you can go wrong with Diesel Zero Plus.

[jreily88]

I have to say, the cinammon in this was way too strong for my taste. Does anyone know what the special edition smells like since it is different?

[LongDongSilver78]

This cologne is the bomb! A staple in my collection. One of the best woody drydowns..smells like christmas tree and incense. Original and Beat are also good. Beat could be a summer version of London imo.

[ILIKEITSIMPLE]

Maybe Im missing it in the video, but how many sprays and where on this one?

[robes08]

@ILIKEITSIMPLE 1 on the neck and one on each wrist or arm

[notreveh]

I tested it on me today, the 1.0OZ version that I bought, and damm.. amazing vibe but got just 3 hours on my skin!!! Am I getting a fake version??

[LongDongSilver78]

@notreveh wierd, this lasted 10+ hours on me..in the winter tho.

[Faheem1Kolognes]

m not impressed wid this cologne lol i got this today..first impressions...not the best lol

[CanwllCorfe615]

Fantastic review, fantastic fragrance! My only complaint is that the cap is on so tight that when I take it off, the black metal part around the sprayer comes off with it. I guess it's just my bottle! I didn't even get if off the internet, I got it from Boscov's. Ah well. It's worth it. This fragrance is so rustic and really is like pure Fall

[Prophecy23JC]

Gotta know that song in the beginning.. If you would be so kind.

[robes08]

@Prophecy23JC Ashley MacIsaac - Sleepy Maggie

[Prophecy23JC]

@robes08 Thank you, kind sir.

[40escologne]

Now that's how a fragrance review should be done-thanks Guru!!!

[Optimumnutrition01]

In my opinion Gucci Pour Homme 2 is better than this.

[robes08]

@Optimumnutrition01 It's getting reviewed next actually funny you mentioned it

[Chrispy461]

I'm 18 and this is one of my favorite winter fragrances.

[robes08]

@Chrispy461 def. great for winter. Once the snow is on the ground here in Canada out comes the Burberry London

[milkykungnaja]

Hey Marc, well done as usual mate.

Do you think Lavender is too strong in this? I don't know why I can smell lavender on me for a long time. Is it safe to wear to the office?

Keep it up Marc,

[robes08]

@milkykungnaja Safe in the office if you watch the sprays, depends how hot or cold is the office and how close your co workers are to you. If your all crammed into one office i'd stay away

[jacksgotnobeans]

hey marc, song ?

[robes08]

@jacksgotnobeans Ashley MacIsaac- Sleepy Maggie

[crichey2007]

I found the London special edition at TJ Maxx today

[robes08]

@crichey2007 how much was it ?

[crichey2007]

@robes08 It was $34.99. I couldnt believe it because they still have it at my Dillard's for $70.

[MrDondon71]

@robes08

Excellent Marc. I just purchased the Limited Edition Yesterday as Luck would have it. And i agree.. If ya own one you wont need the other. But just like you said.

Collection purposes.

[razscott]

Brilliant Marc, i wish this lasted on me!

Longevity issues! lol

Yeah i get like 2 kacking hours with this concoction.

[slotback67]

hey marc do you think this is a safe blind buy? or do you think it will be on the shelves at nordstroms next time winter rolls around

[warriordiscus7]

@slotback67 This will be around for the rest of eternity

[robes08]

@slotback67 this bottle isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

[geert94]

Ahh, stef was the name! I had mistaken it last time..:)

[jreily88]

the cinammon in the beginning was way too overpowering for me.

[JRWRlTER]

great great review

[samer12100]

hey marc,i got just yesterday it smells amazing great one but does not project and has no staying power at all,u are good if u still can smell it after 2 hours,i mean u should take the bottle with u whereever u go loool.but not too bad overall,i give it 7.5.

[TylerJordan69]

I don't like this wish I did, but girls don't like me smelling like a CHRISTMAS TREE.

[robes08]

@TylerJordan69 it works during x-mas time tho, you remind the women around you of xmas time and all the warm good times they had

[pigasus27]

Thanks Marc. I love London's top notes, but the dry-down is awful on me. I wish the longevity was better as well. Thumbs up for the review!

[Farille]

Can you please do a review of the D&G Anthology series? At least the Roue de la Fortune. Excellent review man!

[notreveh]

Will we have a review on the other classic fragrance called Cool Water?? I mean, we almost don't have a review on this fragrance here, on youtube, that's seens to be almost unbelievable!

btw, greeat review Marc!

[robes08]

@notreveh Cool water review is actually coming next month my friend keep watching

[erik0131s]

As much as i like Burberry this one is not one of my favorites from that house. Don't see what all the hype is honestly, it smells like pine trees in a bottle

[olymsailor83]

Ill be rocking this every day in the month od december mainly due to christmas

[grgfourtinas]

very nice reveiw im probably geting this 1 for next fall/winter .

[stxgdv]

Absolutely love London! In my top three for fall/winter. Female coworkers love this one, always draws compliments. Very spotty longevity on my skin though.

[r0bdigz]

This is one that will always be in my collection. I don't know what it is but I find this really enjoyable. The top notes are second to none. A classic fragrance in my eyes.

[bryann9182]

FIRST :D :D
