Weekend for Men
by Burberry
Burberry Weekend for Men is a light, unisex citrus fragrance with a distinct green herbal character, delivering a fresh, clean, and slightly soapy sensation reminiscent of a high-quality, natural citrus bar. The opening bursts with bright lemon, bergamot, grapefruit, melon, and pineapple, creating an initially sharp and vibrant burst that some find overwhelming or synthetic. After the initial citrus surge, the composition settles into a subtle interplay of ivy, oakmoss, and sandalwood, developing a quiet, vegetal freshness. The dry down features a soft, warm honey and amber base, adding gentle sweetness without excess, resulting in a clean, calming, and mildly reflective aroma. It performs well as a daytime, warm-weather scent, ideal for casual outings, summer days, or post-shower wear, offering a relaxed, energetic vibe that appeals to those seeking a simple, carefree, and non-intrusive presence. Despite its low sillage and moderate longevity, many users describe it as a nostalgic, serene, and uplifting scent that stands out due to its unique vintage citrus-green aesthetic.
