The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Weekend for Men by Burberry was launched in 1997 and crafted by perfumer Michel Almairac. This fragrance opens with a vibrant burst of citrus notes — lemon, grapefruit, and bergamot — that create an invigorating freshness. The heart introduces fruity accents like pineapple and melon, adding a playful sweetness. The base notes of ivy, oakmoss, sandalwood, honey, musk, and amber provide a warm and grounding finish, making it a perfect blend for those who appreciate both brightness and comfort.

How to wear it

This fragrance projects well due to its vibrant top notes but settles into a warm base that blooms over time. Apply one or two sprays in the morning for a long-lasting effect throughout the day. It pairs best with casual daytime activities and light evenings.
