I do love me a good mens fragrance/aftershave and when I was
asked if I wanted to try this new fragrance I couldn’t wait to get it, yes I love
both wearing mens fragrance/aftershave and smelling men wearing it (not in a
creepy way but).
Firstly the gold and black box is very pretty (should never
say that about boy/men things) but it is. Sleek, shiny and easy to understand-
which I guess is what boys/men like.
The bottle is also very sleek, shiny and all gold and easy
to handle. The lid is attached by a magnet so you can’t lose the lid and I
personally found it very amusing to play with (yes small mind).
The press release states the following about the fragrance (sorry I know nothing about describing fragrances):
“The new fragrance is a classic
fougère, blending an instant flash of freshness with a vibrant heart. Dynamic
and masculine, Instinct Gold Edition epitomises
the perfect balance between authenticity and sophistication, sensuality and
strength.
The fragrance opens
with an energetic burst of bright and contemporary freshness, thanks to an
invigorating blend of Lemon and Bergamot Oil. This is tamed by the stylish
refinement of Basil Grandvert to reveal a manly confidence. The heart revisits
the classic virility of the first Instinct,
this time with a modern edge. An explosion of aromatic Cardamom, uplifting
Rosemary and sharp Juniper Berries creates an unconventional fragrance
personality. Finally, a sensual and precious hint of iconic Patchouli, timeless
Vetiver and smooth Cedarwood creates an elegant signature.”
I did a bit of a survey at work to see what a couple of
boys/men thought of it and 4 out of 4 liked it so that’s a thumbs up from the
boys/men department. I liked most of it but only after it has matured a bit as it
starts of a bit petrol-ly (if that makes sense, sorry made up this word haha) but once it has matured it
settles down and is nice.
I have actually now given the bottle to my father as he
really liked it and I thought he deserves it more than me and will use it more
than me haha.
With 10 million bottles sold of the David Beckham range of
fragrances this one is a winner and I would highly recommend it for anyone
looking for a new fragrance for any occasion.
And for all those women out there you can now stare into Beckham's eyes just that little bit longer:
