Burberry Weekend for Men is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1997, created by Michel Almairac.

A breezy, lemon-fueled blast of energy perfect for off-duty days and office wear alike. Not groundbreaking, but endlessly wearable for lovers of sparkling citrus and green scents.

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.

About

Burberry Weekend for Men is a crisp, invigorating citrus-green fragrance anchored by a sparkling lemon and grapefruit opening. Ivy and oakmoss lend a lush, outdoorsy character, while sandalwood and amber provide a subtle, woody base. Touches of honey and musk round out the composition, keeping it smooth and lightly sweet without ever turning heavy. This is a scent that conjures images of open fields and blue skies, easygoing but never dull, and perfect for adding a fresh, casual edge to your day.
