The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 1997 by perfumer Nathalie Lorson, Weekend for Women by Burberry is a Floral fragrance that has become synonymous with approachable elegance. It opens with the fresh notes of mignonette and mandarin orange before transitioning into a heart of nectarine, peach blossom, and rose hip, creating a sweet yet delicate floral bouquet. The base of musk, sandalwood, and cedar provides a warm, powdery finish that is both comforting and familiar.

Weekend for Women is often cited by enthusiasts as a 'gateway' designer fragrance—often one of the first perfumes a young woman buys or receives as a gift. It's valued for being inoffensive and reliably well-received, making it an everyday counterpart to Burberry’s more formal offerings like Burberry London.

How to wear it

One to two sprays are sufficient as this fragrance blooms quickly on the skin. The fresh top notes last about an hour before giving way to its powdery base, which lasts throughout the day. It's best suited for daytime wear, where its approachable and familiar scent can enhance any casual or professional setting.
