Reviews of Weekend for Men (1997)
by Burberry

Take cKone, tone down the citrus a bit (so it's not quite as neon), add a dash of fresh soap and tea (perhaps that's the ivy) and a hint of honey to balance the soap. Very nice stuff - good for casual or work. It's a shame it doesn't last three hours, though, hence the neutral rating.

Spicy and citrusy and quite sharp at first but not a zesty sharp citrus. More bitter/sour and airy. I like it but not that interesting. Doesn't last that long on my skin. I can smell the musk throughout the whole think which smells quite nice.

Having recently sampled Weekend, I find it to be very similar to Truefitt & Hill’s classic Freshman. However, I think Freshman is a much better and more complex scent. Freshman (1815) is a brisk and comfortable classic. Weekend is simply a modern version of that. I’m surprised no one has made this comparison. At points Essenza di Zegna has the same vibe.

Relaxing yet almost too generic scent- however it does smell clean and not too sporty. The sensation of British leisure and outdoor- culture recreated is still a slightly too ambitious, too pretentious promise, as it hardly( and if yes, only a bit) stand out from that specific 90's aquatic sweetness. Average, decent casual scent, good enough to be a light everyday scent.

This one I felt it was a woman’s perfume disguised as a man’s frag. But that was at first spray, because afterwards it became a more unisex scent that had a very heavy dose of soap in it. This soap would be regular run-of-the-mill soap, and sans glicerine.
The opening might be very sharp to some, and this citrusy sharpness will die down rather slowly. On my skin, this scent lasted a long time and the sillage was very strong. I thought it was strange since on others the sillage was so-so.
The top notes I ca live with, the mid notes were a bit hostile, like a verbal dissagreement between floral notes, and they kept on fighting until the basenotes came in, and at that time I was getting really tired of this scent. I don’t’ find it very sweet but it certainly is mild and somewhat uneven and simple.
At times it almost remided me of how might have been the smelling salts of yore. I know this one can smell good, just not on me.

After about an hour is smells very chemical-like on my skin. Like a strong cleaning product. I didn't overapply either.

it last all of 4minutes 42 seconds on my skin..lovely,fresh,summery and full of promise but fails to deliver..nice packaging initally attracted me but the scent wears for such a short while that its not worth the money..but then its not particularly expensive..freshness,freshness,freshness..and then its gone..

Nice twist on citrus with ivy and honey notes. Not great on my skin, but I've enjoyd it on others. This one might just have a second chance as Burberry continues to make a presence in the fragrance world.

well its not bad i guess its a basic safe scent for a summers day!

Refreshing and light, and carries the unmistakable refinement and class of Burberry! Definitely captures and embodies the carefree and relaxed state of mind of a weekend!

My girlfriend asked me to get this, so naturally I did. Very floral and fresh, but lasts like a fart in the wind. A decent casual scent that should be labeled as unisex. But hey, the gf likes it so I wear it around her.
