David Beckham has launched a limited edition follow-up to his best selling Instinct fragrance for men. The notes for the new scent, Intense Instinct, include melon, lemon and ginger in the opening, a heart of coriander, cedar and violet leaves, and a dry down of white cedar, teakwood and musk…
Kissonline has begun counting down the days (20, if you care to keep track) until the KISS fragrances launch. Apparently you’ll find the scents at the following retailers: Belk, Boscovs, Dillards, Gottchalks, Parisians, Ulta and Virgin Mega; and yes, Gene Simmons will be making promotional appearances…
David & Victoria Beckham will launch Intimately Beckham next week in the UK:
The Intimately Beckham for Him juice, concocted by International Flavors and Fragrances, features notes of bergamot, grapefruit zest, cardamom, violet, nutmeg, star anise, sandalwood, patchouli and amber. The women’s scent, blended by Firmenich, offers notes of white flowers, bergamot, rose petals, Casablanca lily, tuberose, orange blossom, vanilla, sandalwood and musk…
Coty has paired with superstar athlete David Beckham to produce his first men’s fragrance, Instinct. A sporty and fresh scent, Instinct was created by perfumers Alain Astori and Beatrice Piquet and has notes of bergamot, orange, mandarin, star anise, cardamom, red pimento, vetiver, patchouli and white amber.
Though I didn’t have high hopes for this one, being both a product of Coty and another “celebrity” scent, I’ll admit that it’s pleasant. Reminding me of Dior Higher Energy with main notes of citrus, vetiver and musk, Instinct opens with a rather nondescript citrus accord, sweetened by white amber. Though the olfactory notes would suggest something darker, and slightly spicy, the fragrance basically stops here, continuing on the skin as a sweet citrus. The pimento makes a brief appearance, though really doesn’t bring much to the composition other than a slightly watery green edge. The scent has very little sillage and 2 full sprays to the left arm lasted about 2 hours. I keep wondering where the patchouli and anise are, expecting this scent to take a dark turn…but to no avail…
David Beckham's new fragrance, Instinct, is selling like hotcakes in the UK (link to article no longer working, sorry!).
