What does Weekend for Women smell like?

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate, so it stays fairly close to the skin. Most voters pick spring and summer, and leisure, daily wear and the office lead the occasions. Most voters read it as feminine.

It starts fresh and green with mandarin orange and sage. In the heart, violet root, iris and nectarine add a soft, powdery, lightly fruity floral feel. Musk, sandalwood and cedarwood give it a woody base, and sweet and synthetic tones run through the accords. Chanel Chance Eau Tendre and Aerin Iris Meadow have a close profile.
