Burberry The Beat for Men is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2008, created by Domitille Michalon Bertier and Olivier Polge. The Beat for Men opens with Citron, Violet, and Pepper, settles into a heart of Geranium and Thyme, and dries down to a base of Woody and Vetiver. Burberry's The Beat for Men carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh spicy-led wear.

This one's a proper grower. Give it time past the initial pepper bomb and you'll find a sophisticated, fresh-spicy scent that's distinctive and mature. Not for everyone, mind, but those who 'get' it absolutely adore it.

About

Opens with an invigorating, sharp burst of citron and a hefty dose of black pepper that'll clear your sinuses. As that initial spice settles, green violet leaves emerge, intertwined with herbal thyme and a touch of geranium, before drying down to a refined woody vetiver base. It’s fresh, it’s spicy, and it’s undeniably grounded.
