Review: David Beckham Instinct – Everything You Need To Know

Instinct.

One of the most affordable fragrances for men.

David Beckham Instinct was released in 2005. It is based on citruses, aromatics, and woods. It lasts four to five hours on the skin, with moderate projection. In this review, I will describe its smell and performance and if it’s worth it.

What Does David Beckham Instinct Smell Like?

Vetiver dominates the opening. It remains the star of the show for the rest of wear. Right off the bat, warm vetiver is bright and clean with a slightly soapy tinge. It is hard to find a fragrance that emphasizes cleanliness so much.

As vetiver leads, citruses with spicy pepper play second fiddle. They are sweet and strong but never overpowering.

A clean opening to an exotic heart. Vetiver mixes with cardamom and star anise, amplifying the spiced and sweet accents. 

Finally, vetiver, amber, and warm woods create the entire scent in the dry down. They are subtle and lack depth but are the most prevalent.

David Beckham Instinct notes:

• Vetiver
• Bergamot
• Mandarin Orange
• Star Anise
• Pimento
• Patchouli
• Cardamom
• Amber

Performance

Instinct lasts four to five hours on the skin with the average projection. In the first two hours, it pushes out one to two feet before receding to the skin, never becoming a skin scent.

This is exclusively spring, summer, and early fall wear. As for occasions, it is casual. Nothing about this fragrance makes it unique enough for any other occasion.

Lastly, mass appeal and likability are average. The projection isn’t strong, so it won’t overwhelm anyone. This doesn’t grab attention, nor does it repel it.

Where Should I Buy David Beckham Instinct?

Final Words

The final burning question is, is David Beckham’s Instinct worth it? No, there is nothing special about this fragrance. Yes, it is extremely affordable. However, many extremely affordable fragrances on the market have better performance, quality, versatility, and mass appeal.

If you try David Beckham Instinct, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.
