Love Burberry's Her? You'll Love These 9 Alternatives Across Budgets

While the name of this one might remind you of the Victoria's Secret Bombshell, the notes to this reminded me of Burberry's Her, mainly keeping the fruitiness of the top notes in mind. What I also liked about the brand is how easy it is to navigate what you want. Just read about the notes you're looking for and snag up an alternative at a very affordable price. This one claims to be fruity, citrusy and perfect for spring and summer. It is vegan, silicone and paraben free too. 

Top notes: Passion fruit, grapefruit, tangerine, and big strawberry

Middle notes: Peony, vanilla, red berries, jasmine, and lily of the valley 

Base notes: Musk, woody notes, and oakmoss

The best thing about Bath and Body Works mists is that they are affordable, last long, and are usually recreations of luxe perfumes. You're The One is a close recreation of Her simply because of its super fruity and strawberry syrup-y scent. It's intense but wears off well. You'll also get a hint of wood in the notes, which balances out all the floral, rose and strawberry notes, similar to the wood, patchouli and amber in Her. 

Notes: Rose, strawberry, floral, wood, and fruity

I was not surprised to find an alternative to a luxe perfume that is another luxe perfume. This one by March Jacobs smells exactly like Burberry Her after settling down. It's so fascinating that if you have both, you might just get confused. They both settle into a very powdery, fruity sort of scent. Marc Jacobs's Intense is known for its rather cool OTT bottle cap, its sillage, and clean and fresh notes. So if you're generally a fan of luxe perfumes and want to get something that is similar, yet luxe then don't think twice. 

Top notes: Strawberry, Pear and Bergamot

Middle notes: Honey, Jasmine and Rose

Base notes: Vanilla, Musk, Benzoin and Moss

If you feel like the rush and immediate fruitiness of Her is too much to handle and want something to balance out the sweetness, like a woody top note, then check out the Kayali Lovefest Burning Cherry. I love Kayali for how all their fragrances are almost always sensual and very night-wear appropriate. This one is a new launch from 2022, almost hypnotic, succulent, and juicy smelling. They're on the pricier side, so you can easily opt for a smaller-sized bottle to test it out. Additionally, you can also alternate between using Her as a day fragrance and this one for the night without straying away from what you already like (smelling like).

Top notes: Burning Cherry, Raspberry and Bergamot

Middle notes: Praline, Heliotrope, Damask Rose and Jasmine Sambac

Base notes: Palo Santo, Tonka Bean, Guaiac Wood, Ambrettolide, Peru Balsam, Patchouli and Haitian Vetiver

If you're on the lookout for a budget option or something that just captures the first wave of strawberries you get from Her, then you have to check out The Body Shop's trusty Blissful Strawberry EDT. It's clean, long-lasting, vegan, and simply gets the job done. Don't expect to smell like a million bucks, but do expect to smell good. What I love most about this is how easily the musk mixes with the heady strawberry, avoiding a synthetic fruit scent. Additionally, it is made with 87% natural-origin ingredients, 42% recycled glass, and topped with an aluminium lid.

Many people on Reddit claim that Ajmal's Aristocrat for Her is a dupe for Burberry Her. It's a slightly expensive, no-fuss bottle for 75ml, with base notes very similar to those of Burberry Her. The top notes fully encapsulate the fruitiness, featuring strong orange and sugar. It's known to be a fruity and woody EDP that is refined and rather sophisticated smelling.

Top notes: Floral, orange, and bergamot 

Middle notes: Saffron, and jasmine

Base notes: Amber, oakmoss, and musk 

I went down the Reddit rabbit hole and also found out Bath & Body Works has more than one mist in their collection that can be doubled as Burberry Her. According to most users, this Strawberry Pound Cake mist is a gourmand fantasy that smells like dessert without being too cloying. The mist also has a shimmer that adds a glowy finish, making it perfect for vacation days. You can layer it with other products or wear it independently when you want to smell edible in the best possible way. I like to think this fragrance is what fairies would leave behind after a visit.

Notes: Fresh strawberries, golden shortcake and whipped cream

You can never go wrong with a Zara fragrance and this one, is an underrated pick for those who love their perfumes sweet, flirty and mood-lifting. Notes of peach and apple blend with rose and iris to give a juicy and playful scent much like Burberry Her. It’s light, perfect for daily wear (especially if you want to channel the clean-girl aesthetic) and has a sugary twist. At this price point, it’s extremely long-lasting and leaves a soft trail that lingers on.

Top Notes: Apple and Peach 

Middle Notes: Iris and Rose

Base Note: Vanilla

This Lattafa fragrance, an Arab brand has gone viral for smelling way more luxe than its price tag. It opens with juicy pineapple and blackcurrant notes, dips into fresh florals and wraps all of it up in warm vanilla and musk. It’s the right amount of fruity and flirty. If Burberry Her had a younger, sassier sister, this would be it. The bottle is pink and gives major It-girl energy. 

Top Notes: Red Fruits and Orange

Middle Notes: Marshmallow, Jasmine and Lily of the Valley

Base Notes: Vanilla, Musk and Moss
