The Story
Why it exists.
The beginning
Enjoy The Weekend was released in 2018, with Luca Maffei credited as its perfumer. The composition puts a clear idea into motion: lime, bergamot, red apple, and grass establish an immediate outdoor freshness, while lavender, fig, rose, and jasmine bring a softer floral pulse beneath it. The lime opens with a brisk citrus peel character, almost tart at first contact, and bergamot softens that edge with a slightly floral, sunlit quality. Red apple sits right between them, crisp and lightly sweet, giving the opening a fruit-forward snap that feels more snack than garnish. Grass arrives as a cooler thread, almost dewy, holding the brightness together without tipping the opening into sharp territory.
The interesting part is the balance between orchard freshness and polished finish. Lime and bergamot supply clean citrus light, while red apple adds a crisp, sweet accent that keeps the opening playful. Grass extends that brightness with a green, outdoorsy texture instead of making the composition simply sharp. Lavender and jasmine bring aromatic softness, then fig and rose lend a floral, gently rounded middle. Cedar, amber, and musk ground the whole thing. Nothing in the structure needs to shout, but the combination has enough movement to keep the wearer interested as the hours pass.
The evolution
The opening arrives with the visual snap of an open window: lime cuts through bergamot brightness, red apple flashes with sweet crunch, and grass lays down a cool green line. That energetic first impression softens as lavender arrives, making the citrus feel less polished and more breathable. Fig, rose, and jasmine then bring a rounded floral heart, with the apple sweetness becoming gentler in the background. During the drydown, the bright outdoor feeling gives way to cedar's woody structure, amber's warmth, and musk's close, skinlike finish. The opening carries an almost fizzy quality, the lime popping against the smoother bergamot in a way that feels like the first minute of sun on bare skin.
Cultural impact
Enjoy The Weekend arrives from a house whose approach to perfumery leans into naming shared moments, and it earns its place within that wider idea. The composition uses its affectionate, domestic-leaning name to invite the wearer into a specific kind of weekend: unhurried, outdoors, and pointedly unscheduled. Its launch positions it among the house's earlier offerings, sitting alongside other expressive titles that turn ordinary time into something memorable. The fragrance itself supports that framing through its composition.
