Weekend for Men Burberry for men

"Clean Laundry"!!

This is what my girl friend told me I smelled like when I wore this cologne one night I visited her.

I always taught this was an “ok” fragrance. It is not spectacular good or spectacular bad. I used it as an everyday fragrance in the summer because it has a very clean and fresh scent but apparently my friend taught I was wearing clean and fresh clothes out of the dryer because she said my laundry smelled so clean, she even asked me what kind of laundry detergent or softener dryer sheets I was using LOL!

Her sister said she had a friend who always smells like clean laundry too “What do you guys use” I said “nothing special, we just like to wear clean clothes as soon as we take them out of the dryer, it’s a man thing” LOL

I never told them I was wearing Burberry Week end (and that friend of her sister was probably wearing it too). This is an average "ok" fragrance; I can see why many people like it or hate it.

IMO (rating out of 10)

Projection: 8

Longevity: 8

Sillage: 8

Scent: 7.5
(A bit synthetic, not for everybody but good enough if you want something different in your rotation for the summer fragrance)

Reminds me of a traditional eau de cologne. Lots of lovely citrus plus a fresh grassy scent that smells like a freshly mown lawn with a hint of mint and other herbs.
It's a dark green fragrance to me, probably due to the oakmoss and ivy.
Later on, there's an aquatic note that reminds me of freshly caught fish, still wriggling. Towards the drydown the fragrance becomes warmer and more sensual.
But I can't smell fruits or much sweetness, no honey for me.
As I said, to me/on me it's redolent of traditional eaux de cologne. And like those, Weekend for men is wearable for both men and women alike.

this is a very fresh and sweet lemonade.
smells sunny and happy
it really fits brazilian weather
a different citrus

smell fresh but is not my style.

too artificial for me. i like the smell, but its not like a cool body smell, should be used as a car / room freshner

I love the top notes; bright, happy, fresh.
The dry down , at least for my nose, is agony. I don't know why.
The sensation is exactly being on a beautiful pick nick on the country that turns out a nightmare at the end of the day.

Burberry Weekend is a little life saver! It's a fragrance to spray on after a weekend of partying in Cabo, waking up hungover next to a beautiful girl and you reek of cigarettes and alcohol from the previous night, just spray some Burberry weekend on! and your good to go.

A strong lemon scent which projects well for the first two hours, is affordable, could be used as a sporty frag, but does not last very long..

0-2 hours - A strong lemon scent, perhaps sour lemon and maybe overdoses on the lemons but ok and not bad on the whole. Very similar to a lemon scent my Turkish barber sprays on me after I have may hair shaved at the back. Projection strongish, approx 2 foot

2-6 hours. No projection, scent goes very close to skin. The longer it goes the less sourness there is and it is better after 4 -5 hours. Little chilled-lemon kicks in. Could be sporty frag now as more invigorating

This is affordable and very basic - a you get what you pay for kind of scent. Linear, not-complex and inoffensive after 2 hours. It's ok, but I would not buy it

I love this scent, I think is the right balance of citrus fresh and clean smell without being overpoweringly masculine like many new fragances that just give the links effect,

this one to the contrary is refreshing sexy and masculine enough, it last all day on my skin and when I put my t-shirts in the washing machine they still smell of it, absolutely brilliant 10 out of 10

This is one of the few perfumes that I dislike.
I did not like to use it, and do not like to feel the smell of it in anyone.
But the problem is, of course, just my tastes. I know people who love this one and I respect that opinion.
Unfortunately for me this perfume is impossible to use.

This cologne is currently for sale at the drugstore beside my house, and I tried it on not realizing it was for men.....and I love the way it smells on me!! I might go back and buy it anyways!

One of the WORST fragrances around. A very boring Citrus fragrance. I hate synthetic smells. It doesnt get compliments, you grow tired of smelling the scent on yourself, theres no interesting changes in the notes or dry down and again why would you wear somthing thats nothing unique or new? There are so many better ones out there to choose if you are looking for a citrus fragrance (AnF Fierce, O.C. Bigelow Lemon & John Varvatos Artisan). If you are buying only based on the trusted name...do yourself a favor and get their fragrances that receive compliments and never make you tired of smelling yourself: Burberry Brit, London or Touch.

I use to use this but after awhile the smell gets irritating and gives major headaches. It was a nice smell but after awhile just gets old.

when my sister gave this to me as a gift...i totally loved it! im from a sunny country but we have this cooler place and i really enjoyed this perfume when i used this when i was at that place. i love the smell! fresh and totally fresh!

I did a blind-buy of this cologne solely based on the brand name, as I had never seen it before.

Like others have mentioned, the first impressions are an immediate hit of citrus aroma that's very pleasing. However, I found that as it dried down, the citrus gave way to a musky, overly synthetic "honey-like" smell that started to annoy me the more I stayed in contact with it - even though I'd only sprayed it on one arm.

Sillage is fairly low, but it's not something that will offend most people (one woman who hated all perfumes liked the scent). Longevity's just less-than-average. It's a casual summer/fall cologne that's only good if you're just hanging out at the beach or a restaurant.

Considering how long this cologne has been out, I'm surprised that it's never had a "Weekend Intense" variant like Le Male or Cool Water.

Not my kind of citric and fresh scent. If the inicial blast promises something really citric, what I quickly get is something more flowery or anything else but citric, what surprises me considering the notes I´m seing here (bergamota, grapefruit, lemon). Maybe this is just the result of the salad which comes also with pineapple, honey and other ingredients indistinct to my nose. Not clearly a pour Homme. In fact, remembers me more a feminine one.

just got this from one of my bestfriend.. really love the scent.. for me it is simple, fresh n clean.. love the citrus burst.. definitely one of my favorite summer fragrances..

The notes make this seem like some great summer fruity fragrance for men, but this is EASILY Burberry's worst fragrance. This was actually the fragrance that got me in to fragrances, cause I never wanted to buy crap like this again. Yes, I was an idiot and blind bought this at Marshall's...

I get tons of wood and powder/floral out of it. My gf thinks it smells really feminine. Overall:

1/10

I got this for valentines day, i love it ! not just becasue it was from a special person but its because it smells very unique and it projects very well! one of my favourites burberry did really good on this one.

At the top of the notes it smells like freshly peeled oranges with a bit of a very sweet lemon that isnt sour, and it also has a tiny bit of woody smell that is sandalwood that rounds out the overall top notes.
it does project pretty good,

as you get into the dry down im not to sure about this but i think it gets more woody and then it disapeers

this does last about 11 hours on me, just thought id say that because i made it sound like it doesnt last long, i thoughht the bottle on this was very simple but different at the same time,

Ratings

Longevity 8.8/10

Projection- 8.2/10

overall smell- 9.4/10 i love the smell of the oranges and lemon and sandalwood mixed together!

Hope this helped!

Sorry folks! but this Weekend is boring. I don't get this as a citrusy scent really. I just smell pineapple and a tiny bit of melon, but the scent comes out as mild soapy like baby soap, which later turns to this musky baby powder. It's kinda sweet with amber but very subtle. You guys can easily skip this one. There are many better citrus/summer fragrances out there, especially CK.

I got this as a fun surprise for my BF. He loves the original Burberry and the Summer version. Well, this one was rejected by him as being too fruity and feminine and handed back to me. I gave it a shot but I don't think this can be worn by women, as other people have suggested. Why? It was much more masculine on me and I got oakmoss and sandalwood notes exclusively, nothing suggesting honey or fruit. Verdict: Not manly on men and too manly on women. Epic fail.

How did this get to the public? I have had a habit of sending colognes that I get as gifts to the “use as air freshner in the bathroom” collection that I don’t like. This one just made its final appearance in the dumpster. Hated it. Garnered worlds worst headache from it and did I mention that I hate it?

I should have…

Soapy³.
Could be the male version of Extravagance D'Amarige.

It smells like a big fresh summer garden with a lot of citrus trees, ivy leaves, green grass, flowers, fruits, sunshine and well-being.
Very underrated fragrance.
I prefer this over Acqua di gio.
This one got a better quality bottle as well.

WOW! Truelly aweful scent.
Take out the four citrus scents and we've got something worhtwhile. The melon and pineapple would have been the perfect fruit effect on this wonderful composition, and a maervellous start, but instead it was a synthetic, citrus that stung the nose. I dont smell any honey, i get the rest of the smell in the drydown, but the citrus has ruined it from the start, and lingers veery slightly throughout, it warps the other notes. It would have been softer, and with the volume of the citrus replaced by the an even dividend of all the other notes in addition, Weekend could have been heavier and more wearable.
Awesome drydown ruined by an overkill of citrus.

A simple scent. Input your notes are citrus and very soft like a fruit cocktail, its middle notes are citrus and smooth with very slight hints of sandalwood, its base notes are soft and slightly sweet with honey detectable.

Their age range is eminently think for people younger than 35 years, I think it is too informal. A strange smell at the same time simple. I could easily be unisex fragrance. An informal smell, citrus, fruity and slightly sweet, only appropriate for warm days or warm, perfect for casual days and meetings with friends. Not suitable for any formal use. Good projection and durability in the skin.

It must be the most sour scent for men in the world,When I sprayed it,There are millions of sour orange and lemon dancing around my body,I think I will be killed by the sour.

:S... it smells like kale/cabbage to my nose...
The staying power is poor...

wooow...great price for a whopping quality fragrance......i was quite uncertain when choosing this particular fragrance...cos i wasn't sure it was going satisfy my style n taste. but atlas! i was spellbound on the first use!
i just can't stop loving it!

After buying a Burberry mini coffret set containing Weekend, London and Brit-I loved them all! But the 5 ml bottles had little plastic plugs in the tops (I assumed so they would not leak in shipping)and I removed them.(!) Two weeks after trying all three, I noticed more than half of all three evaporated! What was left behind was a thick oily liquid too strong to wear and it stained the skin. I bought all three in larger sprays, and was lucky enough to find a one ounce EDT at Marshalls for 15.00...

This is a very British scent: clean, dry and quite proper. The opening is very fresh and full of smooth, dry citruses(grapefruit, lemon and bergamot mostly); the melon and pineapple add a fruity, less citric flavor but never really develop fully (and I'm glad, it would be a bit too 'fruit salad'!). Ivy's bitter green and oakmoss' sharp green scent combine very well with the sandalwood light aromatic woodsiness in the heart as it goes from fresh and airy to a clear, verdant woodsy that I just love. Not too fresh and not too sharp or heavy. This is well named and is an excellent scent for relaxing on the weekend: bright like a sunny day, fresh like a summer breeze, and outdoorsy without being sporty. The drydown is sweet and smooth with rich ambers and sweet flowery honey, rich and gently delicious. The projection is not powerful, but when someone catches a whiff of you they know you are wearing a quality fragrance and I've gotten more than a few compliments on this. The longevity is very good on me-but this goes from citric fruity to woody green to sweet and rich, (the sweetness lasts the longest)so if you are looking for a citrus or green that lasts, this may not be for you. If you like a well-made fresh understated fragrance that says quality-get this...it's a Burberry through and through-in shorts and henley, as opposed to suit and plaid-lined trench.

Sillage: close
Longevity: good (see above)
Overall:3.75/5

I suppose the right woman could pull this off, fragrance is personal thing-there are some men's scents that work better on females and vice versa. The woodsy green stage does smell quite masculine, but the drydown is sweet. Overall, I really like this fragrance. For a lovely light scent, that's not 'cookie cutter' or like everything else-go Weekend...

Well done Burberry. I recently went out in search of Eternity Summer 2010 but since I could't find it I was asked to try this one....well I was amazed the scent is fresh and so attractive...I LOVE IT

Much better than the female version!

Burberry weekend starts off very fruity, which can be good for weekends to live up the concept. The lid is engraved beautifully with Burberry Code of arms.

However, the drydown is extremely sweet. Its sweetness is not the same vibe as Paco Rabanne 1 Million thanks to its honey note. I find it very cloying on my skin.

I agree with others saying this scent can be easily worn by women too :)

Cheers,

This stuff is pretty bad. I bought a bottle at Ross, tried it once and gave it away. Maybe there was some chance it was old? I don't know much about colognes expiring.. I've had the same bottle of Acqua Di Gio for 3 years now and it still smells fine. Anyways, I wouldn't recommend this at all.

This is a really strange perfume. Smells like something cheap or common, but is very very nice and fresh. I like it a lot

the opening is very fresh and somehow it's too harsh in my opinion, I don't know maybe because the pineapple mix with the citrus makes it too much for the fresh opening, but it doesn't stay long then I really can smell the sandalwood mix with honey at the bottom notes which is friendly for nose and made your thought calm and happy, really brilliant idea to put honey for the bottom notes mix with amber and it's quite stay long you can smell the honey on your skin, very very marvelous drydown though it doesn't stay long, but I can smell it the honey and amber till 8 hours in my skin, but if you consider to pick the fragrance mix from top notes into bottom, it's really not your choice I suppose, cause the opening is to harsh, just a thought, no offense :)

A very average perfume that I bought from a traveling salesman. Despite being a male fragrance the salesman himself recommended this since it was a unisex smelling fragrance. This fragrance is not long-lasting and in my opinion is a bit disappointing coming from Burberry. It smells like a cheap discount fragrance.

Good old Burberry! Weekend is fresh yet calm, zesty, clean, invigorating, cheery, sensual & smooth - well worth a prolonged trial as it is not to be judged on first sniff.

At first I imagined that the fragrance would remain fairly linear, a pretty but plain citrus. However, with Burberry you get perfumes with character & BW doesn't shame the name.

Burberry is tongue-in-cheek British-posh...croquet & a wink. BW takes you on a delightful, playful parade around a lush garden designed with twists & turns to first delight & sharpen the senses & then calm & caress your mind....it keeps you on your toes.

The opener gives you armfuls of bitter green citrus. Soon "yellow" fruits burst on the skin, yet never ripen - they, too, are crisp & clean, covered in salty sea-spray.....but wait, the best is yet to come!

The slight smokey-green note emerges & stops the scent from floating further into citrus highs. Smooth & silky sandalwood softens the composition & soothes the wearer before honeyed pineapple drips over your sun-kissed skin.

As a woman I would happily don this scent in summer, but in truth it does lend itself to a very masculine wearer. My BIG gripe? The lasting power & sillage....this will be your little secret to share with your cherie....a brief affair unless you reapply frequently!

its a nicely done aromatic citrus for those who like citruses but i got it before i really started collecting and its kinda fruity but lacks an edge

I love this smell on my husband. It's not too complex, but it smells great. It has a very clean and fresh, but decidedly masculine, scent to it. To me, I think of driving in a convertible along the sea coast, or rowing a boat out onto the lake - it's not an occasion scent or a spicy woody scent, but it smells young, clean, and sexy.

I found this super strange perfume has smell of paper and dried lemon peel or a chemical cleaning. I think I need some time to please you.

smelled good to me until i started really collecting cologne and now its kinda so so like many of the burberrys except brit.... unfortunately like many of those scents there kinda tame and boring and i like a little more of a kick in my scents not the copycat dept store scents that all have a citrus smell!! for my opinion ive found some underground frags that smell 10 times as good as this for less than half the price they should put those brands up on here rather than the common name brand items nobody likes

Really Like this sent.Have for a very long time. Had to even steal my little brothers bottle haa

Delicious and original. Fresh but long lasting on my skin. Love it

It's no secret that my favourite perfume of all time is Weekend for women, so I was eager to see what the male version was like with the intention of perhaps purchasing it for my significant other.

This cologne is not a floral like its female equivalent, which I consider a good thing, I like my men to smell masculine. Weekend for men is quite fruity yet pleasantly sour, that makes this scent a fantastic Summer fragrance as it is sharp and refreshing without being too overpowering.

The lasting strength is not bad, however I'm speaking from a female perspective where many of our fragrances are eau de parfum rather than eau de toilette, so the lasting power might actually be fantastic for some.

Weekend is so light and clean that it actually could be worn by a very daring woman. However, I do believe that this fragrance is very masculine. The only element of this fragrance that mirrors Weekend for women is the honey note in the drydown, which adds warmth and a little bit of sweetness.

My verdict on this fragrance; I love it yet I don't think this type of fragrance would suit my man (he's more into dark and woodsy scents). However, I will consider buying this for some of my male friends when it comes time to buy them gifts.

smell like flower(melur)

i really like this cologne because it's not too fruity or woody. Just the right mix. the only problem i have with it is that it's kinda weak and after a few minutes you have to be VERY close to smell it. Within 5 hour span i had to spray twice and the scent was gone pretty fast. With that said, this would be the perfect cologne to wear when you know you're gonna get close to that special someone without having an overwhelming smell of fragrance.

Does not smell pleasant on me at all. Not gonna lose sleep over it though.

I am a big fan of Weekend for women, today I smelled ths one and I think it is its worthy equivalent. Very nice, fresh, sharp. I would like more of my friends to use it.

One of the few 'fresh' colognes I like. Must be the sandalwood; I favor woods.

Lasts all day on me with a second application a few minutes after the first, plus a bit on the shirt.

very short lived. i got bored of it after 2, 3 uses.

This is the first perfume I ever bought and it was until recently my favorite perfume... Now my collection has grown to more than 30 fragrances and I learned that there are thousands of fragrances that are more complex and better smelling than this one (there are better fragrances in the Burberry line also).
I love it's simplicity, still love the top notes and it is still among my top 10 for personal reasons but not my favorite anymore. Sorry...

This one is easy to review. A Lemon opening with a grapefruit heart. You may notice a little touch of Sandalwood coming from the base, very lightly. That's it, mostly lemon and grapefruit. Lasts between 2 and 3 hours with close sillage on me. If you are looking for a lemon scent that is even less complex and as short-lived as 4711, this is for you.

It's not often I need a lemon cologne that has no sillage or longevity, maybe once or twice a year. My bottle sits alongside my 4711 and collects dust. It's a nice lemon scent that should have been released as a unisex scent. There is nothing 'manly' about it.

what other perfumes that smell like this? coz i really love this scent and im looking for alternatives. tnx=)

Even though it's tagged as "for men," I would happily wear it (if my husband didn't say, "It's making me sick," which he says to nearly all perfumes.) It's lemony-lime and bergamot, and it didn't change much, even after drying down. Very fruity! On my skin, even my coworkers thought I was wearing a feminine perfume.
