6) David Beckham Classic Blue( EDT Spray for Men)

I first smelt this cologne on my little bro, thinking it was my go-to, Invictus Legend.

To my amazement, he revealed it was none other than David Beckham Classic Blue – It caught my attention.

Classic Blue, released in 2014 and crafted by Jean-Christophe Hérault and Aurelien Guichard, is a fruity-salty aquatic delight. It’s initial notes of Pineapple, Violet Leaf, and Grapefruit create a unique blend, followed by Apple, Clary Sage, and Geranium, with a grounding base of Cashmere Wood, Moss, and Patchouli.

My bro’s performance with Classic Blue is commendable – not a powerhouse I must say, but certainly noticeable.

Standing next to him, the scent lingers and smells absolutely great, showcasing its moderate projection. It’s a fragrance that doesn’t fade into the background.

As an adult building a fragrance collection, Classic Blue marks my inaugural review and secures a solid spot in my lineup.

It’s a fantastic value – smelling great at an incredibly reasonable price. While the projection  is moderate , the fragrance sticks to clothes, offering prolonged enjoyment, especially when applied to shirts.

If you are one that thinks about budget, worry not as Classic Blue give s you  a bang for the buck .

The scent, though not overwhelming, strikes the right balance – nice, fruity, and fresh. This cologne is solid. 

In a world of expensive and overly priced  fragrances, Classic Blue stands out as a wallet-friendly gem that doesn’t compromise on quality and sileage.

7) David Beckham The Essence( EDT Spray for Men)

My dad’s go-to fragrance, and coincidentally, my favorite for him. The unbeatable price for the value makes it a double win.

This Unique cologne has a special place in his collection, and I can’t help but share the love for it.

I’m a fan of clean scents, steering clear of overpowering musky fragrances. David Beckham’s The Essence hits the sweet spot with its right subtle yet classy aroma.

It has the essence of a refined personality, akin to a wealthy and sophisticated gentleman who owns a a private jet.

The fragrance starts off with a base of patchouli, cashmere wood, and tonka, offering a robust, woodsy aroma. Complemented by notes of grapefruit and lavender.

All these notes create a versatile cologne for the classic man.

Moreso, this Essence  Cologne is a blend of salty sea air and fruity citrus. While it may lack strong sillage and longevity, these characteristics contribute to its charm.

It’s not crafted for a night out aiming to be fun and actively seductive; instead, it’s the ideal companion for casual day outs, fun events or even light gym sessions.

The subtle projection ensures that when people come close, they’ll catch a whiff, leaving a pleasant impression without being overpowering. 

You’d love this! This fragrance isn’t a showstopper seeking compliments; rather, it subtly whispers, “that smells nice” to those in close proximity.

Perfect for shorter events lasting less than five hours, it may not be the choice for an all-day affair, but it excels in its intended domain.

Having owned a bottle for over 2 years, I can attest that it ages like fine wine, getting better with time. The Essence  by David Beckham is not just a fragrance; it’s a testament to choosing the right scent for the right occasion. Man, you should try it.
