The Weekend Away is a beautiful green and aquatic scent that is definitely a very, very good dupe for Woodsage&Seasalt. They are really extremely similar. I have both at home and took the time to test them side by side for a few days. In fact, I have come to the conclusion that I prefer the Weekend Away overall. In my opinion, the Weekend Away starts off a bit less salty and has a not quite as cool character as the Woodsage&Seasalt. This slight saltiness also dissipates a bit faster with the Weekend Away - which I find very good.
Overall, it is a bit warmer and spicier than the one from Jo Malone. In my opinion, it even lasts better and is more perceivable for longer, probably due to the tonka bean in the base, which gives it that warmth. To me, the Weekend Away smells like a gentle sea breeze with dunes or a hotel lobby by the sea. Simply clean, green, and aquatic, with a gentle warmth.
Performance and longevity, as mentioned, are stronger than with Woodsage & Seasalt, but still not spectacular. You can actually reapply after 3-4 hours. But for the price, I think the scent is really quite good, and for what it is, I appreciate it a lot :)
