Description
The fragrance is coming in collaboration with Comme des Garçons. “Rubchinskiy worked with Christian Astuguevieille, creative director of Comme des Garçons Parfum, on developing a scent inspired by what the designer described as “young people hanging together, skating together — concrete and skateboards.” The bottle is clear glass in a classic shape, but the cap is made of wood, a nod to a skateboard deck. The packaging — a bright red box with Cyrillic script — was inspired by Red Moscow, a Soviet-era perfume.” – a note from the brand.
Perfect Summer Weekend by Gosha Rubchinskiy is a Aromatic fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. Perfect Summer Weekend was launched in 2016. The nose behind this fragrance is Alexis Dadier. The fragrance features angelica, buchu or agathosma, mandarin orange, chamomile, smoke and birch.

Synthetic tangerine and patchouli. Yet I like it, it feels very happy and has decent longevity. Definitely unisex.
Edit: Tried this on my father and on him it really developed the burnt rubber note. Oof. Not pretty.
So be careful and do not buy without trying.

Wow. . . . This is one of my he soapiest scents I’ve smelled — complete with nose tingling sudsy bubbles!
It is grounded in an earthiness and I can definitely tell that chamomile and Angelica are prominent. There is a bit of floral to it. I am getting an impression of daisies and I could see it being a good clean summertime scent on someone else’s skin.

very refined & light scent. minimalistic maybe.
not closely on par with any Axe i smelled; feels very high-quality like most CdG scents, though i would not think of it as a “strange” or “avantgarde” scent, like many CdG’s. love the combination of smoke and angelica. i wish it had more stamina!
scent—7,5
sillage—4
longevity—2

It smells identical to this Axe body spray i used to use, which is the last thing i expected a CDG to smell like lol. Brings back amazing memories and I think it smells great! I’m glad i can wear that scent now without having to own a can of Axe lol

This one is strange. Opens with dried baby spit, a touch of rubber, a very thin, synthetically sweet citrus, and something indistinctly earthy…maybe mushroom? or clean soil?
As it dries down it thins out even more and the focus shifts to the rubbery and earthy elements. Very nondescript.
The best and worst aspect of this is it’s sort of youthful playfulness. On one hand, it manages to be evocative of a very specific sort of sun-baked nostalgia…on the other hand it’s somehow awkward and immature feeling.
The sweat the other reviewers mentioned here is present to me but it’s very different from my adult conceptualization of a “sweaty” smell. In lieu of any cumin-y facets or disturbing greasy body associations, Gosha’s sweat is more reminiscent of the scent of the outdoors that sort of clings onto kids after they come in from playing in the summer heat. Very, very, weird.
I find this kind of uncomfortable to wear. It doesn’t feel like it’s made for me. Regardless, this is super interesting and creative. Theres a cheeky, youthful, snot-nosed rebellious vibe present thats totally reminiscent of a bunch of tweens skateboarding and being “punk” while not understanding anything about the “real world”. Endearingly noncomformist but also awkwardly transient. Affordable for a CDG!

While I can’t say I’m familiar with what buchu smells like, this definitely smells of angelica and chamomile, accented with some abstract, synthetic florals and citrus. After a few hours, it dries down to a woody, unobtrusive vetiver base.
It’s doing its own thing, but there is some kinship with releases like Serpentine, Comme des Garcons 2011, and Odeur 71. There’s nothing natural about these fragrances, and they smell like man-made places and things, as does Perfect Summer Weekend.
If I tried to craft a visual equivalent for this scent, it would be clothes in a neutral brown color like faun, ecru, or khaki. An anytime, anywhere sort of aesthetic.
All in all, it’s a pleasant light fragrance that’s a good alternative to “fresh” citrus colognes.

Bitter rubber in the hot sun with the sweat to go with it, and quenching it slightly with an Orangina. Other reviews have mentioned the aroma of teenage boys, but I think it’s worth underlining the animalic vibe it gives off. Civet is not mentioned in the notes, but it is this old fashioned animal vibe that makes this click as soviet era parfum. Yet, despite the funk, which plays a very small part, this comes across as minimalist, somewhat austere, and hip. CDG all the way.

It’s like someone squashed a mandarin into hot asphalt with a melted rubber shoe.
First cdg to make me rash up, too.
Make of that what you will.

This is my first review and while I’m still a beginner with fragrances, this has been my experience so far.
When I first sprayed this cologne (blind buy) I immediately smelled mandarin zest mixed with rubber which sat atop oriental notes, incense and boys deodorant for a lack of better terms. I soon realised there’s something rather metallic about the base of this fragrance which I don’t mind. After wearing it for a few days the smell really grew on me as I find it suitably masculine for someone with my style. After about a weeks use this fragrance has left me wanting more though. This may be because I find it to be a light summer fragrance and its starting to get colder in Australia or maybe because it has average to poor projection and doesn’t last very long.
Anyhow its a decent and unique fragrance as most Comme des Garcons ones are, it just doesn’t project great and lacks that wow factor. Also don’t expect this to have an amazing dry down, it becomes rather feminine and weak.
Overall this is a very casual fragrance from CDG,best worn for day to day activities.

★★★★ (4 / 5 stars)
Unisex theme based fragrance. Surprisingly wearable spring summer concoction with a beautiful roughness and energy about it.
I have no idea what is meant by a soviet era perfume – but the packaging and bottle are definitely unique and give a nod towards an urban counter culture. Nothing sweet, metro, or gourmand about this fragrance.
It’s raw, herbal, earthy. Even the floral and citrus notes are dormant and hidden in the background. It wears close to the skin – as a scent like this should, and longevity is around 6 hours for me. Nothing spectacular but acceptable.
This was given to me by a relative that had a feeling I wouldnt have this in my collection. (sneaky bastards – they were right)
Best description I can give is that it smells like a farmers market on a hot summer day – tents setup over hot concrete with local vendors showcasing their crop. Potting soil, plants, vegetables, handmade crafts, baskets, and herbal remedies. Toss in a light ozonic breeze and dusting of metalic patchouli.
It’s weird… And beautiful…. And I can’t wait to wear it like crazy this summer.
