Description
Police is launching a new fragrance, POLICE TO BE CAMOUFLAGE in the popular skull-shaped flacon, but this time in camouflage style. The fragrance follows the editions To Be from 2011, To Be Woman from 2012, The Illusionist from 2012, To Be The King and To Be The Queen from 2013. To Be Camouflage is dedicated to men age 18-35, who follow fashion, like the modern concept and strong composition. Camouflage is the new special concept of the collection TO BE – as announced by Mavive! It is characterized by special decorative technique, sublimation which imprints matt color on the glass, by creating intransparent camouflage motif.
Together with contrasting silver details, camouflage motif will certainly attract attention along with skull-shaped flacon which stands out from the rest of the collection. Composition of the fragrance promises abundance of shades and contrasts and opens with citrusy-spicy chords (lemon, cardamom, mint, red apple and antilone). The heart of the composition highlights spices combined with airy sunny notes and ozone chords (sunny notes, ozone, lavandine, nutmeg, cinnamon, rhubarb and violet), resting on a warm and soft base of vanilla, tonka, cashmere wood, Haitian vetiver and woody amber, refreshed slightly with orange blossom.
TO BE CAMOUFLAGE can be purchased as 40, 75 and 125ml Eau de Toilette accompanied by perfumed hair and body shampoo (all over shampoo). Advertising campaign was created with focus on camouflage motif, where the hand holding the flacon is colored in the same style.
To Be Camouflage was launched in 2015.

Let me start this review by saying that I am a female who, admittedly has a severe addiction to perfumes….not only is perfumes my thing, but I LOVE skulls-I have skull clothing my shower curtain is skull print I have them every where in my home as decor I have at least 25 of them tattooed on my body,I’m sure you get the drift, and to continue this ramble one of my other loves is camouflage print-again with the clothes, purses, blankets etc etc . So when I was at Shoppers Drug Mart the other day and saw this on the $19.99 shelf I HAD to buy it, not wanted to buy it, iHAD to buy it lol even though my husband doesn’t wear any type of cologne or anything aside from deodorant I just me fed this! If for nothing else I could use it as decor! Wel, I have today I find that this could easily be a unisex scent, albeit a slightly more masculine one but unisex nonetheless! Im curious if many other people fee the same and would love to hear from anyone who has HD a chance to smell many of the fragrances from this brand. You can’t find it anyone in the city I live so I don’t know how I stumbled upon this lol this to me is like a CK2/CK Summer unis c scents, those sorts of ones. I love it! And if anyone is able to find the woman’s version of this please let me know!!!

Um, dunno what I really think about this. Saw the Police brand often enough here and there, but always assumed it was some crappy knockoff brand or something. Then I saw a Police watch somewhere, and wondered why it so was so much $ for something I’d not heard of. An older friend looked at me like I was new and said “Police is a good brand.” This beguiled me. Meanwhile, that same night, at a Shopper’s Drug Mart, I saw a bottle of this stuff for $19.99. I left it, and read about it online. Enjoyed that it came in a nifty skull bottle which looked cool to have in my collection. Today I went and they had at a different location, this and the normal “To Be”. Not having smelled either before, I went for the one with the cool camouflage on it…this! The smell? Uh, a little girly, a little mild, unusual and sweet. Probably worth the $(an elderly chemist-turned cologne store owner told me scents need to be made in either Italy or France…if they’re made in the U.K. or North America, they tend to be of poor quality). This stuff is Italy, so it can’t be that bad. Wonder which one o’ these is the best? You don’t really need this smell…but I don’t why…it’s not gross, not cheap smelling…kind of smells like something grapefruity or like a candy. Meh.
Update: What does it remind me of? Canali Summer Night. Me thinks that’s why they make them so quickly, then make them disappear, just to sell a “new” one quickly. On that “note” 😛 this is milder than CSL

When I first got this cologne, it was really hit and miss for me. On first spray, I could hardly smell it at all. Then I could pick up the slightest scent, which almost smelt like it was off, or had been sitting on the shelf for so long that the notes had faded. It was just a weak, almost non existent apple and grass scent. I didn’t like it. I put it on my shelf at home and didn’t touch it for aaages. It sat there for about 2 months, and then last week I decided to use it to spray around the house after I just cleaned it, almost like air freshener. Then something magical happened. The scent burst open on first spray, and I could instantly start smelling all of these new base notes! I’m now in LOVE with this cologne, and use it at every chance I get!! It’s so powerful, sweet, and hypnotic. Only love now!!

Received this as a gift and was initially a bit worried as the original “to be” is one of the very few fragrances that I dislike.
Thankfully my worry was unfounded, “Camouflage” is a whole different animal.
Fruity fresh is the way I would describe it, there’s a synthetic accord somewhere that actually adds to it and makes it somewhat unusual. Has a modern vibe, ironically I doubt this would help you blend in (camouflage) as it is quite attention grabbing!
Projection and longevity is spot on for this type of scent.
Very pleasantly surprised! :)ⁿ

At the time of writing this review 08/2015,Police – “To Be Camouflage” is exclusive to Savers(a low price budget drugstore)in UK.Selling for only £19.95 for 125ml (RRP £40).Has to be a bargain.I bought one myself and it’s exactly what you would expect from a Police fragrance.Pleasant,innofensive but nothing special.However after wearing a few generous squirts to my chest & neck,the fragrance did last a full 6-7 hours on a hot/humid day in London,but fairly close to skin.And I could identify the sweet/sour notes.Maybe rhubarb & red apple? Lasting notes were woody/soft/slightly sweet(vanilla & tonka bean?).
The only other fragrance I would compare it to would be “What About Adam” by Joop or “Citrus & Woods” by Yardley,though much,much softer.
Would I buy it again? I doubt it.
But I can envisage my young nephew getting some for Christmas !

I have to admit I think skull bottles are awesome 😉
This bottle design actually reminds me so much of my best friend. He’s into anything to do with war; both history wise and gaming, and loves to wear camo (yes it’s abbreviated “camo” and not “camou” lol). I’m partial to a bit of camo print too, and love skulls! 😉 I wonder if it actually smells ok… I’ve only tried the women’s one in the purple skull bottle and it was a sickly sweet fruity. Not what I’d expect from a skull-shaped bottle anyway.
