I got a sample of this one from the Imaginary Authors website. This one is a smokey, woody vanilla fragrance. It kinda reminds me of cocoa, since it is very dry and has a bittersweet smell to it....

I love the smell of Burberry's London (for men), and if I smelt something like that on my girlfriend it would make me completely melt. But I would much prefer to buy a fragrance for her that is marketed towards women, so if anyone knows of a woman's fragrance with a similar smell to Burberry London please let me know

Why not buy her something both you and her would like.

I've never tried Burberry London for Men, but Burberry makes a London for women (known simply as Burberry London) which is a very sweet (almost candy-ish) floral. I sniffed it last week at the mall, and I would describe it as a sort of mixture between roses and cotton candy. I didn't love it, but it was a unique take on both the standard floral and the standard sugary perfumes.

What kind of perfume does she have? Maybe you want to buy her something, but that would not be to her liking. A good starting point would be to know what she likes to wear, then you can look for something similar, but to your liking too.
