Long Week-End — a Mediterranean mood
Long Week-End Eau de Parfum by Alex Simone is a unisex fragrance released in 2025, created for those who love expressive compositions with character.
The release is part of the Monaco Collection and continues the aesthetic direction of a brand born under the sun of Monaco.
Its composition combines spicy energy, floral softness and a deep woody-musky base.
The name Long Week-End sets a special rhythm: the fragrance seems to invite you to slow down and replace a strict urban schedule with a few days of freedom and pleasure.
At the same time, the composition does not feel carefree or simple — the eau de parfum develops richly, noticeably and confidently.
It is a choice for women and men who want their fragrance to remain present on the skin and create a memorable image rather than fade away.
The fragrance's character and development
Long Week-End opens with a fresh, sparkling quality thanks to bergamot and blackcurrant.
Cardamom, ginger and pink pepper add spicy sharpness, a gentle tingling sensation and dynamism to the citrus-fruity accord.
This opening quickly attracts attention while retaining its elegance and avoiding harsh astringency.
As it develops, a floral heart emerges in the composition.
Freesia creates an airy, clean nuance, rose adds soft romanticism, and jasmine makes the scent fuller and more sensual.
Sandalwood connects the floral accord with the woody base that follows, allowing the fragrance to develop smoothly and cohesively.
The final stage is built around grey amber, patchouli, vanilla and musk. The base is warm, enveloping and long-lasting, with noble woody depth and a soft gourmand nuance.
Thanks to this combination, Long Week-End leaves a very powerful trail and is particularly well suited to those who prefer noticeable fragrances with a long-lasting presence.
When and for whom Long Week-End is suitable
Long Week-End is positioned as a unisex perfume, so its character develops differently depending on the wearer's skin and style.
On one person, the spicy and woody nuances may be more pronounced; on another, the floral transparency, vanilla and musk may stand out.
The composition is suitable for an evening, a journey, a festive gathering or any occasion when you want to add expressiveness to your look.
Because of its very powerful trail, the fragrance should be applied sparingly, especially in a small space or in warm weather.
Precise recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing are not available, so it is best to determine the ideal dosage gradually: start with a minimal amount and assess the development after a few minutes.
In the cool season, the rich base sounds especially harmonious, while in hot weather it calls for more careful application.
Its place in the collection and similar fragrances
Long Week-End reflects Alex Simone's recognizable idea of Mediterranean elegance, presenting it through a more contrasting and intense composition.
Here, a fresh citrus-fruity opening meets spices, flowers and a warm woody base, allowing the fragrance to change throughout the day and remain intriguing after the first application.
There is no available information about the perfumer or other concentrations of this release.
Those looking for a similar mood may want to explore The Spirit of Dubai Bahar, as well as The Spirit of Dubai Turath and Nabeel Ashjan.
These fragrances offer an opportunity to continue exploring rich, noticeable compositions in which warm, spicy and woody nuances play an important role.
