Intense Instinct

A sensually beautiful men's scent that is NOT an intense version of the original Instinct. This is something else entirely... This begins with lemon's citrusy bite smoothed with ginger's juicy zing and melon's sweet fleshiness. Warm sweet and fresh all at once, and very inviting. The heart is drier with cedar and corriander on a bed of lush green violet leaves. This reminds me of making love in a deep green forest. The drydown of teak and musk is very manly in a woody, dark slightly animalistic way. This is my favorite in the Instinct line. I am quite surprised that so far it has recived all good (one neutral)reviews, usually reviewers tend to snub some of the mass market releases. Sexy, smooth and sweet, Intense Instinct is good for any occasion but really adds to 'close encounters'. Not another aquatic, not TOO fruity and not overly macho, this one rocks... Sillage: decent Longevity: good Overall: 4.25/5 Perfect for dates or a night out but clean enough to wear to the office or school. Manly yet soft, warm yet fresh, sexy but not musky or heavy; this scent is a very good value and I tip my hat to Mr. Becks on this one...

extremely fresh and radiant. i love the immediate notes of melon, comes out strongly. lasts moderately long and is reasonably priced. not much else to say other than this is great value and honestly smells amazing.

Very pleasant smell on warm days. Affordable and with a good longevity. It's Beckham, not Guerlain? Who cares? It is unfortunate that disappeared from the shops ...

This really is one of the best frags in this price range! Absolutely awesome! Smells very complex and not at all cheap. Lots of quality unique notes.

I am impressed with this fragrance. It opens with a rich fruitiness augmented by the warm spiciness of ginger. At first I thought of Xeryus Rouge when I tried it and then Davidoff Echo and Hugo by Hugo Boss. To me it is better than the original Instinct and is really in no way related to it. The lemon and melon give it an effect not unlike some kind of sweet citrus, which I like. As it changes on the skin it mellows and becomes reminiscent of Cerruti pour Homme, though it is muskier than Cerruti. Checking the notes, I see they both have coriander in the middle and cedar (one lists it as a base note and the other a middle note). This has acceptible longevity and all in all I am glad I bought it.
