Just got ready...
... for the party at a friend's place that I’m invited to. I just ordered a taxi. It will be here in half an hour. So I pour myself another whisky into the glass. When I open the fridge to grab some ice cubes from the freezer, the scent of the cut pineapple hits my nose, along with something spicy. I sit down in my armchair, enjoy the drink, and then the doorbell rings. I finish my drink, throw on my coat, grab my apartment key, and head to the taxi.

When applying this fragrance, the first thing that hits you is a fruity green spiciness mixed with whisky. Additional spicy accords come through, along with some woody notes, and the musk makes this scent powdery and dry. The patchouli adds a deep dark note to the fragrance.

The longevity and sillage are good.

Here we have a men's fragrance that can be worn from around 16 years old and is open to all ages above that. Women can also try this scent. It is wearable all year round. During the day, it works just as well in school, at university, in the office, in the warehouse, or simply in leisure time as it does in the evening at a dinner with friends or in a pub.

If you enjoy a fruity green spicy woody powdery dry dark whisky scent, this is a great option for a small price.

Quite well done ... once again
As can be gathered from my other reviews and statements, I quite like the fragrances from the Instinct product line by D. Beckham.

Considering that these are drugstore fragrances in the moderate price range, you definitely get good value for money.

As for Bold Instinct, it is once again a pleasant daytime scent with a warm note, which comes across surprisingly high-quality and does not disappoint in terms of performance; especially on clothing, it is noticeable for over 5+ hours.

The EdP variant does not differ much from the EdT version; the perfume has a moderately better longevity, but there is also less in the bottle for (often) the same price.
The sillage is more or less identical.

I like to wear it in the cooler seasons at the office, as it is present but unobtrusive.

David Beckham Wrong Instinct…Nobody I asked about it likes it. Smells like a mix of old man and cigars but in a bad way.

Beckham really nailed it this time. Absolute crowd-pleaser at a bargain price.
Whiskey and cinnamon with a clean base. Really top!

A great pineapple freshie that lasts longer than its predecessor, reminds me a bit of Accento.

Pretty okay, but the scent notes are a complete lie. Shower gel without any special character. H/S is a bad joke.
