To Be Mr Beat
by Police
To Be Mr Beat by Police presents a youthful, aromatic profile with a prominent sweet apple opening that blends into a fresh, slightly marine-lavender heart and a dry, woody base of cedar, leather, and vetiver. The fragrance develops into a characterful and nuanced scent with a distinctive blend of fruit, spice, and aromatic wood, giving it an unexpectedly mature depth despite its playful profile. While some find the initial sweetness overpowering and the sillage on the weaker side, the longevity stands as solid under moderate conditions, lasting for several hours on skin. Its overall performance is better than anticipated for its price point, with practical sillage and a balanced fade-out that is neither faint nor overwhelming.
Pros
