Victoria's Secret
"Intimately Men" by David Beckham has been on my "test wish list" since I started here at Parfumo. So quasi a decade. I do not know exactly why, believe in early "YouTubes" he was often used together with 'nem Michael Jordan fragrance as a successful celebrity fragrance and touted as boozy cuddly mild. That comes also roughly, since I have him now here and finally smell, wear, take apart, classify. Still, of course, it's worth zero fanfare or hype. Even if it is easily above most of its celebrity peers.
The scent is a cuddly synthetic boy, as far from a real man as Beckham's little Barry White voice. An autumnal and leafy shampoo. Footballish to Regency, Halloween to Christmas. Peppery greetings, a little "Burberry London" (men's version), a little "Gucci PHI", a little "Dirty English". But far from edgy and strong. All of the aforementioned are better. Definitely a buttery-smooth banana flank. Creamy, artificial, slightly creamy, with fruity fresh cardamom. Absolutely not natural. Somewhat featureless. Wearable. But had expected more based on the long time in the back of my mind. On the other hand: at this price, it's hard to complain. No Boris Becker. But also not a must have. Not even for beginners. Was perhaps also once better - could imagine quite significant reformulations and watering down over the years.
Flacon: very thick and great for the price range and a celebrity fragrance. The highlight here.
Sillage: bedspread-tight
Durability: 5 hours of caress
Verdict: a solid, but not by any means outstanding C-league fragrance from an A-league star. Can be worn. At heart, a nutmeg man in the woods. But who knows only halfway, knows unm the better cousins, role models and alternatives. Across all price ranges.
