Burberry Goddess Review: A Vanilla-Forward Gourmand for Modern Women
Perfumer Amandine Clerc-Marie crafts a warm, spicy vanilla with lavender and cacao – a new Burberry icon.
In this review
Burberry has long been synonymous with British elegance, from trench coats to iconic check patterns. In 2023, the house introduced Burberry Goddess, a women's Eau de Parfum that seeks to redefine the modern gourmand. Created by perfumer Amandine Clerc-Marie, this scent centers on vanilla but weaves in lavender, cacao, and ginger to create a multifaceted olfactive experience.
With an overall user rating of 4.17 on Fragrantica, Goddess has quickly become a favorite among vanilla lovers. It offers moderate to long longevity and moderate sillage, making it suitable for both day and night wear. The fragrance is positioned as a versatile option for fall and winter, though its freshness allows it to be worn year-round.
In this review, we break down the notes, performance, and value of Burberry Goddess to help you decide if it deserves a place in your collection.
