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.
