Latest Reviews of Weekend for Women

It starts off quite fresh and settles into a warm, yummy, powdery scent. The iris, hyacinth, rose and violet create a wonderfully feminine floral composition. The scent is not necessarily' fruity' but more what someone else referred to it as 'juicy'. It has a watery edge gradually wears down, the fragrance becomes warmer and more inviting. It feels clean and warm, like early morning in summer, but there's nothing sharp, harsh or soapy going on. In a way it's a 'safe' fragrance, but i don't mean that negatively-this is very likeable, attractive and likeable. Weekend works like a charm on a person with a right chemistry.

The base with its musk and woodsy components is the least exciting part on my skin, but it does not neutralise the overall creative approach that characterises this creation, which is well-blended whilst maintaining good structure.
I get moderate sillage, good projection and five hours of longevity. 3.5/5

Styled similar to London, it has light hairspray in the opening, a borderline department store feel, is amiable, agreeable with skin and probably everyone around you. As London, an inoffensive people pleaser. Doesn't stand out and doesn't offend. I guess that is a type of success, as there are many situations that call for a quality like this. But when the nice peach-apricot dries off a bit Weekend becomes more generic, lacks personality, anything that sets it apart. It becomes somewhat of a beige-colored fragrance. As with London it develops a soapiness in the dry down and Marigold is the predominant note. The dry down lingers on as a skin scent for most the day and I kept getting whiffs of soapiness that was pleasant, but I prefer London as it has more of a personality, and becomes better as it ages.
It felt like Weekend and London were sister fragrances, one floral, one more casual fruity. Their construction was the same, and they both fill the same niche. You can practically feel the designer intent, that perhaps it was more a marketing decision than anything to do with inspiration. Entirely acceptable, safe anywhere.
