The Burberry Weekend For Women Review

When a fragrance achieves the kind of ubiquity that Burberry Weekend For Women has, cynicism is the easy response. The harder — and more honest — question is: why? What is it about this EDP from Burberry that has made it a fixture in so many wardrobes across continents? Released in 1997, Burberry Weekend For Women built its following on floral, powdery, and years on, it has not lost a step.

A bright, joyful, and effortlessly chic floral fragrance capturing the essence of a carefree English countryside weekend.

The Scent: Notes, Structure & Dry-Down

Burberry Weekend For Women opens with mignonette, mandarin orange and sage — the first impression as it hits the skin. As the opening settles, the composition pivots to its heart of nectarine, blue hyacinth, peach blossom, rose hip, iris, red cyclamen and violet root. Hours in, what remains is the foundation: musk, sandalwood and cedar.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads floral, powdery — easy to place and easy to wear.
