Description
David Beckham is expanding his fragrance line with a new release Classic, dedicated to men of style. David Beckham, as a global style icon and trendsetter, embodies masculinity and modernity and knows how to combine contemporary style with classic elegance.
Classic is a fragrance that balances “charismatic masculinity and classic elegance”, developed by Aurelien Guichard. Top notes include fresh citrusy flavors of gin and tonic, lime and galbanum. Cypress, nutmeg and fresh mint in the heart are rounded by the warm woody base of vetiver, cedar and amber.
Carré Basset designs the packaging. The fragrance is available as 40 and 60 ml Eau de Toilette with an accompanying collection for care.
Classic was launched in 2013.

What a great, distinct fragrance. I wouldn’t put it on my boyfriend as it is more of a 35+ hot dad scent. I think it is very well rounded and definitely not boring. I only spritzed one wrist and it was very strong for the next hour until I showered. I get a powdered ginger smell from this, not a refreshing lime cocktail.

Too soft but a good scent
Like a soft version of some Calvin Klein fragrances

so I wanted to try David Beckham fragrances, and I started by buying this one, it’s just an okay scent with poor performance. it barely lasts an hour after applying, so don’t waste your money on this even though it’s cheap

I received this David Beckham Classic as a Secret Santa gift, it’s a nice scent and quite manly but nothing super amazing. I like to wear it when I’m just lingering around the house or when I jump into bed. Sillage and longevity is ok but again nothing to get excited over, great because of the attractive price point.

Deospray
Not my favourite out of the seven deosprays (for men), from Beckham, that I’ve tried – but still good.
It’s spicy and the amber note fits perfectly as a base that also seem to come through in the opening. There’s a great balance between every component and I can understand how some would love it 🙂

i smell this into a shop.I like it from the verry first smell.I decide to buy it because it`s cheap,but i knew it…all will gonna be weak 🙁 …if this fragrance had a better,a much better sillage, and longevity,trust me this will gonna be a king ! and don`t care about the price…but see…the celebrity fragrance…they don`t care about the frag`…they do the photo,take the money and that`s all…too bad man.
anyway: the frag start with a powerfull fresh and sweet lime,nutmeg but after 25-30 min,it`s just only on the skin.
If i buy this again ? don`t know…i just fell in love with this !!! but like i said…longv` and sillag` WEAK !!!
it`s like a beautiful woman, but a stupid one !
longevity : 1,5/5
sillage:1/5
scent: 5/5
re-edit: don’t buy it,trust me,the scent is10/10 but the rest 0.

I actually really like this scent. Its smells great…however after an hour it’s gone…so it’s a bit pointless.
Sort out the duration issue and it would be great.
Very spicy gingery tones.
Fastwolf – :
Nice-very pleasant smell-can’t believe it’s so cheap-a steal at $15! It’s scent is addictive!
Ловец С – :
After flirting with a gingery promise of Envy for Men, Classic then goes for an Eaux de Baux style piquancy over sweet powdery wood. And then it vanishes, leaving behind only a faint pale ghost.
It isn’t true what they say : sometimes the cheaply derivative die young too.

Beckham Classic is not a bad scent for the price.
BC has an Amber, Woodsy smell to it. Almost reminds me of Chanel Allure Homme Sport. It’s a safe, if synthetic scent.
Performance is fairly weak. I only get a few hours out of it. Projection is decent though. I did notice this performs very well in the high heat and projection was huge.
This one does receive some compliments. It’s also very inexpensive.
7.5 of 10.

I’ve tried many of the Beckham fragrances as they are good value and ideal for everyday wear. Saying that CLASSIC is the poorest of them all.
If you want to wear a Beckham fragrance for everyday wear choose INSTINCT.
CLASSIC doesn’t have an offensive scent but only lasts around 1 hour on my skin and has a very soft sillage.
There are many fragrances out there within this price range which are better.

I agree that there is quite a bit in common with Michael for Men by Kors (original), but this is smoother, simpler, and lighter. So, this might work well for me because the Kors has a musk note that I often find irritating, though it dissipates after an hour or so. I grabbed a bottle of this one because it was in the “bargain bin,” but I think it’s definitely a major step up from there, Now if you find the Kors scent to be too weak, as more than a couple of people have, then I doubt you’d be interested in this one. Perhaps this is good for an aficionado on a day when he wants to “tone it down,” and I’d say it is fairly safe to give as a gift, unless the person only likes “fresh” type scents. I wish “celebuscents” would be more daring, as is the case for Phoenix by Keith Urban, but at least this one isn’t totally generic or a “chemical mess.”
vanya101022 – :
I don’t know. It’s pretty wearable for a TJMaxx cheapo. It is actually very much like a watered down and more synthetic Michael Kors Men which I like a great deal. Woody, spicy and a bit warm. I’ll keep it.
Vilentug – :
Considering you can buy a 3 oz. bottle of this at T.J. Maxx for $16+tax it’s a good value but it just has low sillage and longevity so it doesn’t project that strong and doesn’t last long.
lotarslav – :
This one is a very bitter one.
It begins with this really bitter note which catches in your throat. It smells almost citrussy but not quite, then the woody notes especially cedar come through. It is very green and sharp, but disappears very quickly. Sits close to the skin and not a strong scent. I am not getting clean and green from this, more of a fuzzy fog.
ripShaliani – :
Just a chemical mess. Nothing classic about it what I can smell. It doesn´t even smell good IMO, let alone the short time it lasts, or maybe that´s a good thing.

I like this guy, like him very much. But his fragrances, SUCK!!! No way on Earth is this anything other then a cheap fragrance i’d expect to find in Asda or Tesco, next to the usual array of cheap toiletries. Nothing more then a money making exercise by Coty, stick a celebrity name on a bottle of muck and market it. All trace had gone of my skin after literally 40 minutes. Please save your £15 or whatever it costs and put it towards something proper!!

Another good scent from Mr Beckham.
Smooth, smart and sophisticated. Definitely for the 30-something man. A ‘suited-and-booted’ type fragrance. All the DVB fragrances that I have tried are in the upper “like” category but DVB Classic…..I love it.
Far higher quality scent than it’s price point (e.g. £17 for 90ml at Superdrug right now). Suitable for wear any time.
Very nice indeed.

i got a tester of this, and, for me, it’s headache inducing. lucky it lasts no longer then 30-45 minutes on me.
smells like Lynx (axe)

A thoughtful version of Davidoff Adventure, a combination of citruses, spices and amber. David Beckham Classic is less spicy and “sharp” than Adventure, that’s why it is more wearable and enjoyable.
Antelsnuloush – :
This fragrance is little similiar with ZD adventure.. open with fressnes,than spices and in drydown woody note’s.. is quite complex for a Beckam fragrance.. and maybe is the best scen’t from him.. longevity is actually good.. 5-6h..simple but lovely botlle..

I recently finished off a small sample bottle of this and have to say it is a very different scent to any previous by the ‘Beckham’ range.
This is a very aromatic fragrance which for me sold it. Would definitely be very good as a daily wear scent.
I will probably be buying a full bottle soon or when the price decreases to something much less than it is now as the ‘Beckham’ fragrances usually do. 🙂
actuathThuddy – :
To my nose this smells exactly like Burberry Men. Gives me the same woody vibe. Nice fragrance, classy but not so long-lasting from what I’ve experienced.
kafserg – :
This is the first DB fragrance I’ve ever tried.
I had a certain reluctance and skepticism about ‘celebrity’ fragrances if you like.
Nothing against Beckham, In fact as a die hard Manchester United fan I’ve nothing but respect for the guy.
Anyway…This fragrance is not bad at all.
Aromatic, manly, and pretty old skool frankly!
I won’t be getting it but it’s not bad at all and has encouraged me to try the other fragrances in the line.

Tried this one today. I don’t normally go for the Beckham scents but this one is very nice – for the first couple of hours. It’s kind of a traditional mix of oud, musk, woody notes and alcohol. If you’re looking for reference point, it’s like a cheaper, less complex version of Givenchy Gentlemen – the new blue one. Unfortunately, as it fades it begins to smell very much like rest room hand wash! It doesn’t so much fade away as it does disintegrate.
I will wait a couple of months and maybe buy this one. The prices on Beckham”s scents drop pretty dramatically soon after release.
