The Essence

Super underrated safe frag, linear clean fresh and fruity. Easy and non-invasive, perfect for a spring/summer day. I'm wearing this right now and it is super easy going, non synthetic and better projection than I expected. For the price this is a no-brainer. It won't knock your socks off, but the blend is quite remarkably well balanced and pure. The bottle is really nice to hold, and this smells WAY nicer than your average locker room scent, much less intrusive. Good for personal use on a hot sweaty day, not for dates or formal occasions. Longevity 6/10 Silage 7/10 Scent 8/10 Balance 10/10 Overall 8.5/10 the price makes this one of the best deals for a quality frag.

The absolute best fresh fragrance for under $20! I'm thoroughly satisfied with my purchase. I first smelled this on a coworker and ordered it that night. My favorite way of discovering a new fragrance is on someone else. It's out of the shower fresh, I get the zesty citrus' along with a fruity clean opening. As it gets to heart it stays fruity fresh especially with the pineapple but then the wood starts creeping in, then dominating the base. It last a good 8 hrs on my clothes with projection and silage being about 4 hrs. This fragrance will definitely stay in my collection. It does resemble Lacoste essential sport a lot. Overall I give it a solid 8/10.

let's say you go to the mall, all bored, nothing much to do and you have like 50 bucks in your wallet. but you dont have any fragrance on mind. so you decide to go to a drug store or a fragrance section of a mart. there you see this lil box...you give it a sniff...and you go like...wow not bad at all for 20 odd bucks...and its surprisingly fresh and sweet as well to wear on casual weekdays/weekends... you take it...enjoy it guilt free...coz its so cheap... thats what DB Essence is to me...lighter chrome legend with a synthetic pineapple...one of the best starter fragrances for any fragrancebro :) love it....beautiful bottle and juice color 8.5/10

This was on special for like $9 from the drug store,I decided to blind buy it even though previous David Beckham purchases were failures. So What do I get from this one...It starts off like nautica voyage, and dries down like an azzaro chrome. Not bad at all and am currently wearing it for my daily go to. Certainly not going to offend anyone with this. Is definitely one of the better celeb fragrances i have smelled. 2 sprays one on the front of the neck and one on the back of the neck and you are good to go.

Had a squirt of this one in Boots. Has a really lovely refreshing opening of citrus and violet. The dry-down stays citrussy mellow and fresh. Longevity is quite good too. Reminds me of Chrome or maybe Essential Sport. The David Beckham brand rolls out some really good quality scents by some established perfumers, unlike most other celebrities. Anyway, this is a very nice Beckham scent in a lovely bottle.

This is one of my favorites, second to Ralph Lauren Romance Silver, which is my absolute all time favorite. Gets a lot of compliments even just standing in line waiting to pay for something at the store, minding my own business and with this or RL Romance Silver, which both have certain common notes in composition of the scent.... a lot of "you smell good what is that?" 😂

I bought this blind based on the notes and I must say I'm very satisfied with the smell and performance of this fragrance,it smell very pleasing and it last a solid 6 hours,for under $15 this is the best cheapie ive purchased for the price,based on the price this is a 10 out 10 fragrance for me

This is such a good smelling fragrance, however I unfortunately get such bad migraines after smelling this on me for too long that I can't really wear this. Must be one of the sharp notes apple or citrus/grapeftruit that are causing this, such a pity. Otherwise, an awesome summer/spring buy

This is the 2nd David Beckham fragrance I've sampled (and bought)! Citrusy and woody. Its safe everyday wear fragrance. Bonus part it's easy on the wallet too. Bought 30mL bottle plus body wash for $14. 8.5/10

Back again... this stuff just makes me feel happy. Perfect for when you hop out of the shower or just want to hang out by yourself. You can spray liberally as the juice is cheap but smells great.

A little bit like lacoste essential sport, that freshness, woody, citrusy smell. Perfect for the weather, nice and clean smell. If you fonds of beckham products then this one is a must have.

such a great fragrance for springtime or summer very good and i love the fruity smell such great price if u got 20 to 30 dollars i recommend it dont buy nautica voyage

Definitely one of the nicer citruses. The violet gives a lovely clean edge to the smell. The Essence is great value. An excellent and refreshing clean citrus.

Absolutely love this fragrance. Such a fresh masculine scent and lasts a solid 6 hours on me. Definitely one of my favorites

Love it. Really fresh and such good value. Smells amazing on my husband!

Oh gosh, this bottle looks tempting. I want it soon!

This is a really good value perfume. It has a really subtle, but classy scent. If this scent was a personality, it would be the wealthy, but classy, kind guy that owns a yacht and wears a nautical watch, not a Rolex😂. This perfume is like a mixture of salty sea air and a fruity citrus smell. It does not have strong sillage, or longevity, however I think this actually attributes to the fragrance. It's not something you would wear out out night to be seductive, it something that you would wear to a more casual day event (in the summer). When people get close to you they would be able to smell it, but it would not fill up the room and be a 'look at me!' scent. It isn't a compliment seeker, but people would think to themselves 'that smells nice' when they get close to you. It would be a good choice for an event that only goes for < 5 hours, not something to apply for an all day event due to longevity. Ultimately, its just about choosing to wear it on the right occasion. And 100% really good price for the value. I've had my bottle for over 8 years and has gotten better with time.

A nice versatile fragrance. I've worn it at night and during the day and it seems to suit both. It's got a very clean scent, almost like a baby powder scent. To me there didn't seem to be much difference between top note and dry down though, it smelt exactly the same to me. I would say it's perhaps more suited to autumn/ spring weather, it's certainly not very winter-y and I think in summer you'd barely smell it. As with all of Beckham's scents the longevity and sillage is very weak but for just wearing around the house or to bed I think it's great. Also, bottle is gorgeous and perfect for ASMR videos.

I like several Beckham fragrances; they're good, pleasing fragrance offered at an affordable price - nothing wrong with this fragrance model. However, I wasn't a big fan of The Essence when I sampled it on two occasions. To me, it was like Axe meets Adidas with a touch of a Sports vibe tossed in for good measure. It's okay, but there are many other Beckham fragrances that outshine this one IMO. Longevity was around 4-hours and it projected well for the first 30-minutes before, overall, was pretty soft on my skin. Your mileage may very. Not bad but I'll stick to my other Beckham fragrances.

citric fruity fragrance..... Just like all other fragrances fragrance of this house it is good but problem of lasting and silage again says "hello we are here"....... From this house homme is the master piece... I cant notice all the notes described here....but it is more fruitier version and less citric .... No doubt it is clean scent.. Perfect for all time wearing. But I found some sporty feel in this bottle.... No compliment at all..... Not very special scent..... No need to discuss technical aspects here.. But it deserves one time buy at this price range........
