Beatable
I haven't warmed to Burberry fragrances yet. Of course, they tend to be British understatement creations, apart from the Hero offshoots. But the familiar spark didn't jump out at me.

The Beat for Men is no exception. In the rather long-lasting opening, I hear a reasonably passable, intense synthetic lemon with a good amount of pepper. After a good half hour, the violet leaf provides a mild dampening effect, making The Beat not entirely uninteresting, at least temporarily. The blend of citrusy spiciness, peppery freshness and green unobtrusiveness with a super-delicate woodruff vibe is at its best here.

But as soon as you have enjoyed the little bit of climax, the fragrance structure collapses again almost abruptly.

A few isolated woody notes, including vetiver, are just barely noticeable, but then The Beat quickly ebbs away again. Is that supposed to be it? Yet many perfumistas are full of praise. Otherwise, the general rating is also rather modest given the large number (interesting: currently 142 ratings from 140 owners)

In principle, The Beat for Men could be a very nice office fragrance for the summer, but the market is large, if not huge, with all kinds of more sophisticated challengers. But this Beat doesn't blow me away or touch me in the slightest - despite the rather creative and successful bottle.

Young and woody
The classic for the smaller purse.
Is nowadays no longer quite mine, but the woody note is certainly a good everyday companion in the office for -30J

Spicy and sweet
I was a little confused at first when I smelt The Beat for Men. I was certain that I'd accidently sprayed a female fragrance instead. The scent was so sweet, with a touch of spice, woods and citrus. I now know that I hadn't been mistaken.

The Beat for Men is not strictly masculine, I would definitely recommend this fragrance to both men and women. I get a lot of sweet, spicy woods, and I like it, a lot.

Like Kevin from the NST blog mentioned, both the female and male versions of The Beat are supposed to represent the 60's era of Rock n' Roll. Well I don't get the booziness or the wildness, however I get a smooth, somewhat delicious scent, that is wonderful for a night out on the town.

So many reviewers are saying that this fragrance is too harsh and too peppery, I find this fragrance more spicy than peppery. Perhaps it is just the way my nose perceives this fragrance. I also get a lot of violet and sweet, juicy fruits.

The sillage of this fragrance is very strong, and the lasting power almost equally as powerful. I have come to the conclusion that The Beat for Men is a love it or hate it scent. Personally, I really like it.
