Instinct David Beckham 2005 Eau de Toilette

At this point, I would like to advocate for the many drugstore and celebrity fragrances.
Because honestly, it has surprised me for quite some time that these fragrances almost universally receive poor ratings.
This is not meant to be a bashing against niche or designer fragrances.

As a vetiver fan, I stumbled upon "Instinct" by David Beckham through a few YouTube reviews.
One of the noses behind this fragrance is "Béatrice Piquet".
She has created several fragrances that I appreciate, such as:
- L'instant de Guerlain pour Homme
- Jill Sander sun man
- Trussardi Uomo (1983)

For me, "Instinct" is an uncomplicated and straightforward fragrance.
Fresh, spicy with a certain creaminess from start to finish after about 5 hours on my skin.
It is not a revelation, but it does not overwhelm either, making it a good and affordable everyday scent.
The bottle is simple but made of solid glass with a kind of embossed diamond at the bottom.
The cap is held magnetically... and this is from a bottle made in 2005.

As mentioned at the beginning, it makes me a bit sad when such fragrances (for whatever reason) are rated so poorly.
I can recommend "Instinct" to anyone looking for a fresh-spicy daily driver for little money and who wants to take a sniff in this fragrance category.
