Burberry Weekend Eau de Parfum Spray for Women 100 ml BUR72 Multicoloured

Product Information

It lasts from morning ‘til night and will project as much as you want it to (I split one spray between each wrist). Back then, it garnered lots of compliments and left a nice light fragrance trail that not only others could smell but myself as well which is what I really like in a perfume. I find this perfume absolutely strange, I smell it on a young Romanian businesswoman at a conference and I was damn sure it is Amarige first after 20 minutes I change my mind and I asked her: oh, you and your Trussardi again dear?

But another hour passed and it became very powdery, still herbal but now sweet as well, and I realised what it reminds me of- mosquito repellent candles (the citronella ones).

As for the bottle, yes, it is minimalistic, but the idea or aesthetic is to be relaxing and uncomplicated. I have used Burberry weekend for years it’s my favourite daytime fragrance I get a lot of good comments when wearing it.

It's probably supposed to remind people of summer, but this reminds me of the cusp of autumn when summer is leaving her trail behind. There was a steady, soaking drizzle earlier, and although more rain is threatening, there's a window of gentle sunshine just now. I was expecting peaches and hyacinth and something so cheerful and springy but it’s totally an unimpressive mainstream laundry detergent type. You may not think they are suitable to give as a gift, but they are perfect for your personal use (or perhaps for non-discerning family and friends). The scent opens with top notes of tangerine, tree sap and reseda plant, middle notes are rose, peach blossom, iris, hyacinth and nectarine.Maybe that's their poor take on something 'sweet', but to me it was a huge disappointment and I gave it away as soon as I could, never to even mention it again. I smell unripe nectarine, pond water, a breeze through the rain, flowers, sweet herbs, wet tree bark, and the light scent of "me" wafting off my damp dress and hair. The description of Weekend being a "relaxing country style" scent is, at least in my opinion, spot on.

For example, some top note citrus scents smell stronger immediately upon application, while a lavender middle note may be sensed after some time from application as the top note evaporates. Overall I think this is a very nice blend, great to feel clean but if you aren’t feeling like an aquatic or herby fresh mood coming on. Later, when the scent has dried down, Weekend smells warmer on my skin, like honeyed flowers, but powdery in texture. I don't know if this fragrance will be suitable for colder autumn, but right now - when there is sunshine outside and the trees are starting to drop yellow leaves - this scent is perfect for me! So IMHO, Weekend is just simply lovely - clean, refreshing, polite, good-humored, and easy to get along with.

Bit sharp at first spray but that sharpness fades down to the background and all you're left with is amazing fresh, on the top of your game kind of scent. There's a soft, airy sweetness to Burberry Weekend, a kind of olfactory fluffiness that's not really to my taste.
