Customer Reviews
As a woman, I have to say that this scent is just downright sexy, and I wish more men would wear it! What makes it so sexy - as well as the men who wear it - is that it doesn't try to be. I HATE men's colognes that smell perfumey, and this one doesn't. It's just clean, crisp and masculine, with the cedarwood scent predominating, followed by the fresh ginger. This stuff is so intoxicating to me that I occasionally wear it myself - and even then it gets me a bit randy! Highly recommended.
First off it should be noted that this fragrance is very different. It is highly floral and in many cases smells like... well, really good soap (the major complaint seems to be that it smells too much like soap). This isn't an insult to the product, its construction quality which is detected immediately as a result of its highly floral nature, marks this fragrance as highly creative and made well... and yet it isn't for everyone.
Weekend Burberry for men is extremely light, it'll remind you constantly of "bubbles" if you're anything like me, and yet it isn't too bad at all. Upon first smelling it you'll instantly be reminded of juniper. That's right, the dominant smell is juniper and man is it strong! Never before since I've smelled juniper so strongly in a home care product (a bottle of gin is a different story). I love the taste of juniper so I was immediately caught up with the complexity of this fragrance: in the backdrop of juniper came a floral smell which reminded me highly of soap... complex, yet soap. God I wish the juniper smell lasted, I would forever worship this fragrance.... and yet, it doesn't.
The problem with the fragrance comes over time, I'm afraid. Over time the juniper smell is lost to the overwhelming "soapy" smell (citrus and... soap?). I mean no disrespect when I say that this fragrance is one of the most feminine male fragrances I've ever smelled... some might like it, but the "soapy" smell is just too much to stand for everyday use in this reviewers' opinion (sure it mellows out with time, but only to reveal a sharp yet faint "soapy" smell? Not for me).
However given the creativity and overall complexity of this product, I'm forced with a difficult decision, rate it based on construction quality or on personal opinion (however, sharp overtones might sway one from wearing this everyday). I'm going to have to go with my opinion and give it a 3, when it could have a should have received a 5! If only it measured up to the expectations.
All in all, this product can be used for both formal affairs as well as informal affairs. A great creative fragrance for those that can tolerate it for an extended period of time! Initial score, 5, a few minutes into it the bothersome smell dominates 3.5 - 4. Very disappointing, I wish the juniper smell lasted - they were apparently aiming for complex and yet it ended up nullifying the pretty juniper scent.
