Alain AstoriBéatrice Piquet

"Instinct for Men is an aromatic fougère introduced in 2005 as one of David Beckham's early signature fragrances. Its opening combines bergamot, grapefruit, and mandarin leaf for a bright, crisp citrus effect. Cardamom seeds, red pimento, and star anise create a warm, lightly peppery heart with a distinctive aromatic character. White amber and patchouli form a clean, earthy base that gives the fragrance a modestly woody depth. The overall style is straightforward, masculine, and easygoing rather than dense or highly complex. It is suited to daily wear and offers a versatile profile for casual settings and routine daytime use."
