David Beckham Refined Woods is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021. Refined Woods settles into a heart of Iris, Lavender, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, and Tonka Bean. David Beckham's Refined Woods carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a bit of a meh - a safe, woody-vanilla cheapie that's either 'good for the price' or 'generic shower gel', depending on who you ask. Expect pleasantness, not innovation, and don't count on it sticking around for long.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Refined Woods opens with a gentle, aromatic whisper of lavender and geranium before deepening into a warm, woody embrace of cedar and vetiver. A creamy, powdery touch of orris and tonka bean rounds out the base, giving it a soft, slightly sweet vanilla finish that's comforting and approachable.
