David Beckham: Instinct, Eau de Toilette

==Intro== On the 3rd of December I reached the dizzy old age of 55 and as she did last year with Joop my wife bought me another fragrance. This time it was Instinct by David Beckham, a young good looking sporting star, YEP I know you have spotted the resemblance already. It is only in the last few years that I have actually began to take fragrances a bit more serious. I've always liked a good smelling aftershave, but in general I don't or didn't use them very often. The Joop all gone I hadn't purchased a replacement, well I did but it went straight into the bin, it's name was Musk by Jovan and I foolishly purchased over the net without first having sampled the ...  Read the complete review

I have to admit to being a little apprehensive when I received this aftershave as a present. I had steered clear of celebrity aftershaves and perfumes through fear of them being cheap and nasty, and I have a general distaste for minor celebs (Jordan and the likes, not Beckham!) However I have been pleasantly suprised by this aftershave. Packaged in a tasteful, shiny black box, the bottle is nicely designed. One great little feature is the magnetic bottle top which helps give the product a more up market feel. The aftershave is easilly applied with a sprayer. The scent is quite refreshing and pleasant. It is stong but not overpowering and lasts ...  Read the complete review

I am somebody who loves to have a good selection of fragrances at my disposal but have never been one for going in and looking at the celebrity frangrances out there as if we are honest you are paying for the name on the bottle and a lot of them smell awful but I for some unknown reason decided to pick this up one day and give it a try and was pleasantly surprised. Instinct is a fragrance with scents of grapefruit, mandarin leaf, cardamom seeds and patchouli but if like me this means very little to you then it is best to describe it as a very fresh and refreshing fragrance that smells light and is not an overpowering smell. The product itself comes in fantastic ...  Read the complete review

Advantages Disadvantages Review David Beckham - Instinct Aftershave Lotion for Men I first came across this in a perfume store whilst on holiday in the Fuerteventura in the Canarie Islands. I thought some company cashing in on the David Beckham name and it's going to smell like cheap watered down aftershave like some do. What a surprise I got when I sprayed the aftershave, I found it not to over powering like some aftershaves, it has quite a citrus smell to it, if I had to say what kind of citrus id say a definitely a smell of oranges/mandarin. Don't get me wrong its not "strong" orange just a ...  Read the complete review

Yes you're right. I feel embarassed if asked to name the aftershave that I'm wearing. This hasn't changed while I've had this and yet now I feel I should praise this particular brand! This has an amazing fragrance. I'm normally a Hugo Boss or Tommy Hilfiger fan but receiving this as a gift forced me to try something new. And I love it. It is one of my favourites and I would consider it again in the future! It gets a lot of positive comments, it is sharp and clean, with a very unique fragrance. I find myself going for this every day (which of course means it goes rather quickly) and that is possibly the only negative point! Another thing I question in celebrity ...  Read the complete review
