David Beckham Classic Blue
Beckham (2014)

A fresh grapefruit note that has some extra sweetness added to it is followed by a pleasant apple impression. Clearly a mice summery start.

Floral and herbal undertones are added further into the drydown, with geranium with whiffs of oleander in the floral side, and sage responsible for the herbs. The base is the least exciting part, being constituted of the usual generic mix of white musk and a rather colourless soft patchouli impression.

The sillage is moderate, the projection adequate and the longevity secen hours.

Not a bad summery creation, but the base is a bit of a letdown. 2.75/5.

I'm rather surprised to find myself liking this. I've tried previous offerings under the Beckham name and they've all struck me, rather like the man himself, as being somewhat bland, generic and artificial (now, if only Joey Barton or Luis Suarez had their own brands of frangrances!).
There is definitely something richer and more mysterious about this after the fruity, floral top has faded away. I should imagine it would be at its best on warm summer nights. Alas, it's still late January here with more snow on the way.
