Homme

I used to give celeb frags a wide berth but not too long ago decided to take the plunge. Although this is a little on the synthetic side DBH along with other very similar frags such as Usher VIP are right where my scent tastes sit right now. Bravo, Mr Beckham. Update (6 Jan 2017): I've just blind-bought Montana Graphite without hesitation (yes it smells of pencil shavings but the most amazing pencil shavings you've ever smelled). :o) I also came across Usher VIP and DVB Homme both of which I've had before and recalled that they were similar.......actually on smelling them again they are so similar that if you didn't have them side by side you'd be forgiven for thinking they were the same scent. If I were to try and separate them, DVB Homme is more warm and soapy but with a stout Szechuan pepper and woods flare and Usher VIP is less soapy/peppery and more green/herbal/aromatic. So DVB Homme for daytime and Usher VIP for evenings and weekends. ;o) Really like both and both perform the same for me. Go crazy with the sprayer (couple round the neck, couple on each forearm, couple on each bicep and a couple on your shirt) and both of these should project just beyond arms length for up to 5 hours. After that you've still got a great skin scent that anyone very near you will be able to detect. Oh and you will get compliments with both.....lots of compliments. So yeah please don't go out and buy either of these cause then there'll be none left for me. ;o)

I really love this scent and I can see why people compare it to Terre D'Hermes. I actually prefer this one more due to Terre D'Hermes' orange that CAN smell cloying. It does reminds people of orange toilet detergents. If this fragrance didn't have Beckham's name on it and was produced by Hermes, I bet more people will love it instead of voting "like". It is fresh, peppery and does give me the same vibe as Hermes. It is a clean, no-nonsense professional scent that I have been looking for. It doesn't smell cheap. If someone walked by me smelling like this, "cheap" won't be on my mind. I am wearing it more often due to the fact that I know not many people would be wearing it..at least in Asia due to Beckham's name. Many would have it but would not make it their "routine" scent. It is great for office, gym, formal occasions so I would say it is versatile. As a guy, I first thought of NOT wearing it because it reminded me of sexy guys. I naturally see sexy guys as competitors. But....why not BE the sexy guy?! It is light and inoffensive. I put this on and it refreshes me as much as Versace Pour Homme. It is true it is not a fragrance that one would say, "WOW, that is unique!" but I find that is what is so great about it. I can use this to smell elegant in occasions that I don't want to attract attention. Great for business meetings or just picking up groceries. An underrated fragrance.

I never checked any David Beckham perfume just because I dont like David as a person or football player. Today, I decided to check them and honestly, i was impressed by this one. Very masculine well blended perfume with very good sillage and longevity. Immediately from the first spray you get light citrus, ginger, pepper and cashmere wood...The perfume gets better and better as time goes by and the masculinity increases. The citrus and ginger are not those that you smell almost in all summer colognes. They are going together, hand to hand up to the end. Finally and after a lot of hours, you are left with a nice musk with rosemary, a very pleasant time but the strong point of this perfume is the opening and especially the heart notes. Imagine that you have a saw and you cut some fresh wood on a table with some ginger by the side and the air brings in very lighlty the smell of rosemary...this is what this perfume is...and the ginger usually is going together with citrus but this perfume made me believed that the ginger blended with wood as a dominant ingredient, is a very nice masculine recipe. I suppose we are all tired with the ginger/lemon perfumes that are so commercial in our days...Many of them are so similar so let's stop it...there are much better and new combinations to make instead of having all the time the same perfumes....The price is a true bargain for this perfume!

Don't worry everyone. I'm going to hype the HECK out of this on YouTube and tiktok.. Here's the thing, this is probably the best fragrance in its price range. $13 Nike man blue, and Nike urban wood come close in that criteria, but this one just trumps everything in terms of smell and quality It's predominantly a sichuan pepper and woods fragrance with a zesty spicy sweetness. The composition is aided with a softening warmth of cashemran and a herbal touch of rosemary The way all the notes work together and compliment each other is amazing. The rosemary compliments the sichuan pepper in aiding for that sweet warmth with an herbal facet, ginger and citrus ties in with that giving a brightness and zingy aroma while cashmeran rounding everything out adding a soft texture to the whole composition. I don't get much leather or patchouli, pretty much Non existent. Maybe the textures and aromas of leather and patchouli but not the smell. I don't smell musk but I can pickup on a musk texture however. That could just be cashmeran It's quite linear, but when you break down the simple Scent that it is there's a lot going on that makes it smell the way it does Subtle, and striking. Amazing stuff. Performance sucks but the smell is just so damn high quality I forget about its weakness Will be reviewing this on my youtube RIVERAEDGE

This is IT! The exact type of men's fragrance that I've been looking for. Seems somewhat familiar and not unusual, but has escaped me until now. As a woman who has issues with many popular "masculine" notes (vetiver, sandalwood, tobacco, amber....) it's hard to find male scents I can tolerate, let alone enjoy. My boyfriend is also a little picky, but not nearly as bad as me. He likes to have a few different scents, but rarely seeks them out, so I pick one up for him occasionally. Thankfully he doesn't love anything that gives me a headache (except Eros Flame, but it is a really good scent and it's growing on me...) Anyhow, this; it has a classic feel but not dated. Timeless, I would say. It's the right amount of spicy and warm, but also has a refreshing, cooling effect, maybe from the rosemary? I don't know. I can't really analyze it or speak on the performance, I just know it smells pretty much perfect to me. Can't stop smelling it. Nothing out of the ordinary, but seems like a solid, extremely pleasant, versatile scent. Still have to present it to my boyfriend and strongly hope he likes it!

Another fantastic value for money fragrance from the house of David Beckham. I have owned this fragrance in the old presentation and recently repurchased in the new presentation under the name classic homme. The Scent is very masculine and mass appealing. The women that have smelled this in my experience absolutely love how this smells. It is fresh, peppery and surprisingly long lasting considering the fragrance costs around £10. On my skin it lasts around 6/7hrs which considering how fresh and inexpensive this, it is a real bargain. All in all for a simple, dumb reach fragrance that you can use for all occasions. You will be hard pressed to find many better value for money fragrances than this. Due to it being a David Beckham fragrance I'm sure there will be a lot of snobs hating on this, however it is a great Scent no matter your age or season and definitely worth giving it a blind buy.

This is one of the best values in my sizable collection. I'm really hard pressed to find another casual occasion fragrance that I like as much as this. I wore it for example to have coffee with my wife today. I wear it when I'm off work and kicking around town. I wear it when I coach basketball. You get the idea. It smells excellent. Not surprising considering the nose on this one is Pierre Negrin. Some of his other doozies include Interlude Man by Amouage, Polo Black, and Z Zegna to name a few. My nose picks up and I absolutely LOVE the szechuan pepper. Mind you, as a fume head, I'm a pepper head in particular. If you are going to have at least one cheap fragrance to splash on whenever the hell you want without fearing the bottle drain, this is that fragrance. I said to myself today: "This is always going to be in my rotation." Blind buy this juice. It's a winner.

They've recently repackaged this. It's now called Classic Homme and comes in a new bottle. from my testing theres no reformulation. It smells exactly the same so don't worry about that They've updated the note breakdown and changed a few things. But like I said the smell is exactly the same. That's a reminder to remember that note breakdowns are virtually just marketing tools and aren't 100% accurate to what the fragrance actually is. I've put these side by side and there's no difference, if you find a difference then you're just tricking your brain into believing there is Nonetheless still one of the nicest fragrances I've smelt for its price. Amazing spicy Woody fragrance that's subtle yet striking, lots of sichuan pepper with a fresh tone of ginger and citrus and a lot of rosemary. And of course that dense Woody base.

I haven't smelled all of the latest DB fragrances, however in 2014, when I smelled this one- it was the best of the lot that DB had produced. I honestly don't know what Sichuan pepper smells like, to me it smelled of white pepper and a fresh sky in a green, mountainous region with fresh, dense air. This is very good (maybe even excellent) by parfumerie standards. It isn't JUST very good within the DB range. I'd happily purchase this one again. It's the equivalent of the skinny and awkward girl you kinda knew in high school who looks incredible when you see her by chance at age 30. It doesn't last very long, but the scent itself makes you forgiving of its shortcomings. If this was "made" by Hugo Boss, the bourgeosie would be waxing lyrical.

David Beckham man's frags can usually be summed up in one sentence. Where Instinct was "Always presentable, Homme is "A bit more than just presentable". As any other Beckham, there are some high quality ingredients, diluted to budget of course. A quality bottle and having a top nose signing off on it does not hurt either. DVB Homme is a well blended leather woody pepper for me. This is the only pepper frag I regularly wear, so something must be right. At one stage I liked it so much I have stocked up. Unlike others in the range, Homme layers well. It lasts about 6 hours on me with projection a little better than a skin scent. To sum it up, this is top stuff, at any price, for situations when you do not want much sillage.

Leather & Dark Patchouli... Opens with a warm-spicy burst of citrus, ginger & szechuan-pepper. As it transitions to the heart, a leather accord emerges, boosted by cashmeran and accented with rosemary. The leather here has almost a licorice-y vibe of a black leather-licorice. Musky woods & patchouli in the base support and continue the dark leather-licorice tones. For me, the longer it dries down, the more it becomes a dark patchouli scent with reminders of other dark patchouli scents. The other notes are serving to either enhance or accent the patchouli main event. This has average or slightly above average performance for year round wear. It's a love for me. Enjoy!

@RIVERAEDGE - David Beckham Homme is still David Beckham Homme and in the same presentation. Your reference to David Beckham Classic I presume is - https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/David-Beckham/Classic-18548.html - if so this is a separate product and a sufficiently different fragrance compared to David Beckham Homme that has been around for several years too. I have owned both and both are still available to buy (here in the UK anyway). Personally I prefer the timeless, bold spicy character of the Szechuan Pepper in David Beckham Homme - one of the cheapest yet most complimented scents in my 130+ collection.

I Have tried a few from the Beckham range (usually as things being bought to me, as was the case with this fragrance) and put this on before going out to do a gig. I had no expectations and have to say was very pleasantly surprised. Out of the few i have tried this one is by far the most defined and suited to me. It is spicy and masculine and carries well. When I got home around 4am I could still smell it. Would recommend this for people 30+, it is a more mature and confident smell. caught me by surprise, it is also very well priced. Thumbs up :)

What a lovely fragrance. DBH is a great value. I have had excellent longevity (7-8 hours) and decent projection with this. The wood notes in this are really nice. I see others comparing this to Diavolo, which I kind of see, but Diavolo is more thick and syrupy. This is cleaner but in the same family. I prefer this to Diavolo. Still, I am amazed at what a good value this is. It is very versatile and somewhat classy. Definitely a masculine fragrance. Chopshop rating: 8.5/10

If you are an independent nose, you don't follow trends, and you are not influenced by (fancy logos), you will understand why I appreciate this. If you don't like Terre d'Hermès but wish it had no earthy note, this perfume is for you. I like the smell more than Terre d'Hermès - Performance: poor - Scent profile: classy elegant (at the level of D&G The One EDT), it is not WOW.

Deospray I see that I already had marked it with Love (I've had it a long time but haven't reviewed it) and I still enjoy it very much! Very youthful and fresh. I don't scent any patchouli or leather, it's rather more citrusy, woody - with the cashmere woods as most prominent - and hints of ginger with a mild and discreet musky base.

A home run scent. You know a cologne is great when you smell it on another man, and ask them what it is. Well, that's exactly what happened to me. Got a great deal at Kohl's. A great everyday fragrance. Wear it in the office or out on the town. Very flexible. Makes me want to see what's next in the Beckhan line. Not to be missed.

This is a secret weapon. Where I live, most of the Uber drivers are African or Arab guys. They put thought into how they look and smell. When I take Ubers wearing this, they always ask what it is, and are surprised when I tell them it's only 15 bucks. Also, it's not discontinued, not sure what that person below is talking about.

Im shocked i didnt try this sooner, i think it being a beckham fragrance i thaught meh il pass as his other fragrances ive tried are just so poor and cheap but this little gem smells amazing. From first spray to the drydown. Its great stuff. Il definetly keep this in my rotation 8/10

This one reminds AB Diavolo, which is cheap brother of Fahrenheit. Homme is not so ,,dark'' and mysterious. More straightforward, and very masculine. Great versatility, average sillage and longevity. Scent - 8 Sillage - 6.5 Longevity - 7 Price - 10
