Ripe fruit over gourmand sweetness, which is why it works across the seasons rather than belonging to one. Casual enough for a normal day and bold enough for an evening, though it's more than an office needs.

From a fragrance specialist
The perfume that smells most like Burberry Her is Dossier Fruity Violet — the same dark-berry-and-violet candy signature for about $32 instead of $181.
Her is the berry-candy fragrance that somehow doesn't smell juvenile, and the reason sits underneath rather than on top. The opening is what you'd expect — strawberry, raspberry, blackcurrant — but the base is unusually heavy for a fruity scent: patchouli, oakmoss, cashmeran and amber holding all that sugar down. Fruity Violet nails the top. Blackcurrant, peach and violet, and it reads as Her immediately to anyone who knows it. The trade is in the foundation, where it uses caramel and ambroxan instead — sweeter, cleaner, and without the mossy grip that keeps the original from tipping fully into dessert. Day to day almost nobody clocks the difference. If Her is your signature and you want it to stay grown-up across a long evening, that base is what the extra $150 is buying.
