Weekend for Women by Burberry

Smells sweet and citrusy yet incredibly elegant; nothing like a dessert or candy scent. It’s the perfect blend for a delicate fragrance that seduces effortlessly.

Burberry Weekend is a hidden gem, floral and timeless. Although it lasts about five hours, it projects a moderate trail without being intrusive and smells delicious: floral, creamy, and powdery. It’s formal, subtle, and perfect for the day. If you like J’adore or Carolina Herrera, you’ll love it; it’s the best quality-price alternative for millefiori lovers.

I love buying fragrances blind and Weekend surprised me: it’s rich, balanced, and non-intrusive. Although its trail is moderate, it comes alive hours later with a powdery touch that I adore. I recommend it if you’re looking for discreet florals in the style of Ralph Lauren or Carolina Herrera; it has similarities but its own originality.

I was gifted it and, although I initially thought it was for an older lady, I was surprised by the quality. The bottle is simple but the perfume is floral, fresh, and talcum-like; as it dries down it feels sweet, perhaps due to the peach. It’s elegant and very feminine.

I met it in the 2000s and loved it. I bought it again years later and found a different bottle: the name is the same but the bottle is no longer the original one. I smelled it and fell in love with the scent again, but the longevity and projection are nowhere near the original, which was eternal. What a pity it’s so beautiful.

I had it years ago and loved it; it had incredible staying power. I tried it again in a shop and it’s not the same: it smells good and is similar, but they reformulated it badly. The longevity is a sigh. How good it was that I tried it and didn’t buy it; it’s far too expensive for what it lasts. Another perfume ruined by their cursed reformulations. I wouldn’t buy it again.

I bought a decant thinking it was summery, fresh and clean, but found none of that. It smells old, nothing fresh; I detect a honey note, a bit heavy and annoying, lacking cleanliness and youth… it’s an Anais Anais-style floral blend, nothing I like.

Smells like cream with flowers (hyacinths), sweet. Good longevity and sillage. A good perfume, well-defined; you recognise it if you smell it again, but I gifted it away as it’s not my favourite notes.

I have so much love for this perfume. It takes me back in time to beautiful past eras. I find it more fruity than floral. Basically, it smells of spring and youth, that ageless youth. You are my crush, Burberry Weekend (though I must confess I’m not loyal when it comes to perfumes) :D.

I found it on offer and bought it! I hadn’t owned it for years and was afraid that at 65 it might no longer be for me. Well, I don’t know what others think, but I really love it and the best part is that it makes me feel good. It lasts, which on my skin is a miracle; it has sillage, and although I can’t define the components, it’s a fresh burst, a balance between floral and woody but sweet without being cloying. It transcends as something fresh that makes a presence. If it persists on me, I recommend it to everyone because it’s very hard to smell beyond 50cm, and this one, conversely, has been praised from afar. For me, it’s exquisite, fresh yet substantial, a delight. Looking at the ingredients, I note a soft citrus touch, floral and cedar, and none are invasive. A delight. It’s especially a spring perfume, but suits any occasion.

A floral perfume that gives a lot of vitality; literally, it’s like having a free weekend with the energy to do anything. It’s powerful and lasts a long time on the skin.

Exquisite, floral and powdery, super pleasant, a fresh, versatile and very soft aroma. However, it’s very long-lasting and has good sillage for being so soft and floral; ideal for the day. A little gem.

I was given a paper sample in a store and it didn’t catch my attention, so I left it in my case near my PC. That night, sitting in front of the screen, I sensed an incredibly delicious scent. I remembered it was Weekend, and the next day when I returned to the city, I tested it on my wrist: love at second sight! It cost around $100, but after searching high and low, I found it at a good price online. Usually, I seek fresh aromas, but this broke my routine and expanded my options. At first, I thought it wasn’t for hot days, but it’s not cloying and I enjoy it greatly. It’s the one I’ve liked most lately. My colleague and my sisters also adored it. It’s beautiful, and when I wear it, it lifts the sadness of not being able to enjoy my favourite discontinued scents.

Delicious and sweet, but not that sticky, candy-like sweetness. It’s a sophisticated, powdery sweet. The aroma is so lovely and balanced. The peach note stands out greatly on my skin, whereas on my mother it becomes a bouquet of hyacinths and roses. Regarding longevity, my opinion isn’t final: on me it lasts about 6 to 8 hours, but on my mother it’s eternal. I recommend it 100%.

On my skin, Weekend comes out totally fruity; I don’t recall perceiving the flowers. The notes of tangerine, nectarine, musk, and in the base sandalwood and cedar were enhanced. I haven’t used it in a long time, but when I used it in the 90s I loved it, because its woody base made it stand out among perfumes of that era; it seemed fresh for the time, and I used it in the afternoon and in summer. Nowadays, I don’t think it’s quite as youthful; it’s a mature perfume with medium intensity. Rating 7/10.
