By the editors · 2 min readMr. Burberry arrives green and brisk — mint and tarragon sharpening the grapefruit opener before cardamom introduces a warm spiced undercurrent. Lavender anchors the heart, joined by cedar and nutmeg, a combination that gives this its quietly British quality: a fougère that smells like the countryside in autumn, not a gym locker.
