The Essence, from David Beckham was released in 2012. The perfumer behind this creation is unknown. It has the top notes of Grapefruit, Lavender, and Violet Leaf, middle notes of Apple, Cardamom, and Pineapple, and base notes of Cashmere wood, Patchouli, and Tonka Bean.
My second Beckham outing and as I suspected from the note breakdown...no new experience to be had here. Clean fresh zing of citrus which I actually found too harsh but that might just be my nose at the moment as I find many openings don't appeal. When it settles a little it's a nice fresh scent with good value for money. Worth a go but it's not going to enchant anyone.
