Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

The crisp citrus, juicy fruit, and radiant florals make this an ideal spring and early summer scent, evoking blooming gardens and fresh air. Its airy, light texture and lack of heft make it less suited for winter's cold.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual

Its soft projection and breezy, happy character are perfect for daytime, office, and relaxed settings. It is approachable and non-intrusive, but may feel too informal or light for formal evening occasions.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Burberry Weekend Eau de Parfum opens with a sparkling burst of mandarin orange and green mignonette, instantly evoking sunlight on crisp linens. The heart blooms with blue hyacinth, juicy nectarine, and soft peach blossom, layered over powdery iris and delicate rose hip. A gentle drydown of creamy sandalwood, subtle cedar, and soft musk lingers-serene, powdery, and quietly confident. This is a fragrance of easy weekends, fresh-cut flowers, and the simple joy of a warm spring day.
