David Beckham, along with his wife Victoria aka Posh unveiled their new fragrance, Signature For Him and Her a couple of days ago.

From what I’ve gathered through the dVb, David Beckham Signature For Him “is a fresh woody oriental fragrance with seductive undertones”.

Ingredients such as Marine, Madarin and Watermelon makes up the energetic and modern freshness. Living Lantana, Cypress and Juniper Berry for extreme and elegant masculinity. And lastly, luxury moss, white amber and patchouli completes the fragrance to give it’s richness and sophistication.

David Beckham Signature For Him range includes :

Eau de Toilette: 30ml, 50ml, 75ml
After Shave Lotion: 50ml
Hair and Body Wash: 200ml
Deodorant Spray: 150ml
Deodorant Stick: 75g

The Beckham’s launched this joint venture at Mcy’s Herald Square in NYC so it’s safe to assume you can buy each perfume at any Macy’s stores. I searched the Mcy’s online store but after 5 pages and not finding it I realized it’s not there yet. I’m sure it will be soon. I’ll let you know once it’s there.

Oh and Yes, I’ve noticed and drooled over how handsome David Beckham looked in the picture. Trust me .

Not every Men enjoy or even know how to buy colognes. Most of the time, a salesperson will approach a guy and just to get rid of the poor lad or because you don’t really understand the differences of scents you just buy it. Then you get home and start feeling the quintessential buyer’s remorse. DETAILSand She Knows Best has once again come to the rescue with the Ultimate Guide In Buying Colognes. Stick around while I go through all of them with you. Hopefully you’ll be able to decipher your signature scent after reading this then be confident the next time you see that salesperson walking towards you to spray you with something ….

CATEGORIES : Citrus, Green and Spicy
Citrus — This includes scents under lemon or tangerine. If you prefer a fresh-from-the-shower smell, stick to the Citrus scent. Examples : Armani Acqua di Gio and Ralph Lauren Polo Blue

Green — This is more on the sweet side. Examples : Marc Jacobs for Men(figs) and Chanel Allure Homme(anise),

Spicy — A leathery archetypal scent. Examples : Old Spice and Obsession For Men.

NARROW YOUR OPTIONS
The way you dress and even skin tone affects the way you want to smell. If you’re the jeans and old sneakers type, go for the Citrus scent. A spicy fragrance on the other hand will fit a sporty and easygoing kind of guy. A spicier scent for a pinstripes and brogues type. A closet filled with Dior Homme and Jil Sander should opt for the Green fragrance. As for complexion, if you’re the whitest guy in the planet, pick the Citrus or Green scents.

TRY THEM ON
A spray on each wrist or in the crook of each elbow wouldn’t hurt. No actually, it’s a good idea to do that scent testing. You don’t want to go home with a $200 milliliter bottle of fragrance without knowing how it smells. Or whether you could stand it.

WAIT
15 minutes is what you need for the scent to kick in and react with your skin.

PUT DOWN YOUR CREDIT CARD
A well-made cologne could charge you between $150 and $200. Inexpensive colognes are being sold in mass quantities because they’re not that complex to produce. Something more expensive than $200 is rarely worth it. Even with ingredients like vetiver, iris, and jasmine.

There you go. I hope you all learned something. I know I did.

Mark your calendars. On December 1st 2007, Bond No. 9, the edgy perfumer who’s been known not only to create scents and fragrances but also artistic bottle designs to match will be launching Andy Warhol perfume. Aptly called Silver Factory. Simply known as The Factory, it’s one of the famous NYC digs of Andy Warhol. It was the place where Andy emerged as an avant garde filmmaker, pop art progenitor, and all-around superstar. Andy once said, “Another way to take up more space is with perfume. I really love wearing perfume.”. So it’s just apropos that a perfume will be created in his name. Thanks to Bond. No. 9 and the Andy Warhol Foundation collaboration.

For an ambiguous male-female conception, Andy Warhol Silver Factory will be emanating key scents in the 60’s. Namely, smoky, smooth and spicy blend of incense. With the infusion of wood resin, and syrupy, seductive amber. For a little bit of contrast, it’ll also feature jasmine, iris, and Warhol’s favorite, violet. For a touch of coolness, a handful of cedarwood is thrown in the mix.

Launch Date: December 2007

Suggested Retail Price: $230, for 3.4oz

Available only in a 100 ml flacon, Andy Warhol Silver Factory will be sold at Bond No.9’s four New York boutiques, at www.bondno9.com, at Saks Fifth Avenue nationwide and at www.saks.com

“Passion. Aggression. Fear. Love.
They travel in your blood, dominating emotions and initiating lust at the onset of attraction. A mating dance between men and women continues throughout generations and within species. There is no controlling it. This is human nature.”

Here’s a video to commemorate the launching of Human Nature XY from HUGO Fragrance which also created XX for Women.

According to the August 2007 issue of Muscle and Fitness(hubby’s) magazine Derek Jeter’s Driven from Avon wins Best Scent and Best Bottle. Jeter’s scent actually received 9.5 score because of it’s woody, grain alocohol, spicy, musky and even because of it’s manliness and the 2000 World Series win. Albeit some judged it as grandpa-ish and oozing with pine smell. David Beckham’s Instinct received a lot of points mostly from Women who didn’t mind the floral scent and found it actually foresty, spicy and sensual with a hint of citrus. The Driven fans on the other hand found Beckham’s as too strong of a perfume and a reminder of an old gin bottle.

Bottle design wise, Women found Instinct’s magnetized cap as cool. But since it’s the Men who gets to decide what to spray on their body, Driven won this category as well.

Well alrighty then! Either one, we are still not getting our hands on their million dollar paychecks, respectively .
