@bwcw81: I do find this kinda like Truth, however it's on the test strip only. On my skin, they are two completely different scents. I get more pepper which can smell a little salty from Truth which to me is horrible because I hate the smell of pepper. This one however don't scream peppery to me. The pepper maybe there but it so well blended with other notes that I can hardly irritated by it. There also a metal feel to the beat that scream Euro Chic. Both Truth and this one last 8+ hrs on my skin with this one slightly on the better side.

OMG, it kind of remind me of CK Truth Men, the first note almost the same! Anyone who have the same exp like me? But the second and the base note a bit spicy for me, kind of wake me up but mint flavor make me feel like having a mint chewing gum. Overall not bad. Longevity is ok. 3 hours on me. Great for younger generation and definitely a Summer fragrance!

The bottle of this perfume is gorgeous and elegant but the content smells like an herbal liniment. It's quite strong for my taste, I didn't like it at all.

Very warm, energetic and crisp scent.
At initial spray seems there r many other sour citric notes, but when dries down I smell the lime with a hint of pepper and subtle woody notes.
Lime and its sweetness is the dominant note from start to end.
People who complains that smells only pepper is a skin factor issue I think, never happens on my skin.
Quite linear and doesn't evolve at all.
Lasting about 10 hours with enough decent.
Not heavy nor light. Suitable for casual and office wear.
And the L`Eau Par Kenzo Eau Indigo Pour Homme reminds me The Beat somehow, Kenzo was released after The Beat.

amazing smell however it would be best worn in the winter and is more of an everyday perfume.
12/17/09 03:35:59
If you wear it during cold winter days, the white pepper note is so prominent and stands out so much, almost "spiky"!!! Amazing!!!

it open with citrus scent,and disperse very good,after a few minute you smell woody scent,this notes like Lilique Encre Noire.
Special Scent with Burberry The Beat for Men.
update:in my opinion its base note couldn't disperse well.

Just bought a bottle of the beat, I sampled it along with a few other colognbes in the store, and nearly 2hrs later and the scent is as if i just sprayed it on while the others have faded significantly. It's a distinct smell and its got incredible staying power. love the blend of citrus, pepper and vetiver. definitely for evening and night time use.

Very interesting scent, with citrus opening and an evolution that includes some vetiver, leather 9if i'm not mistaken)... tried this on today from a sample.
11/17/09 12:11:54
very pleasant scent! fresh and woody
11/15/09 08:02:19
Make sure you try it on your skin first. I don't like this at all.
Too much pepper...smells like vinagrette with lemon. Too expensive besides

Passed by a dept. store the other day and a fragrance lady told I had to try this on.
I had heard about The Beat so I figured why not?
She said that when guys wore this there was this "Je ne sais quoi" that made them sexy.
I tried on. Orange + Pepper. Both scents I like. Very masculine. Unique. Fresh and a burst of energy... but then it never developped to anything else but orange and pepper. Reminded me of a orangy (and gingerless) Azzaro Visit for Men for some reason.
Very long lasting on me (6-8hrs) and sillage is decent though.
It's fairly simple. But it's not a bad thing. My only qualm is that it smells metallic towards after a while (after 1-2 hours). I don't like that...
So... I don't like it that much. Can't get over the metallic-ness of it ... even after I tried again several days later... like smelling stainless steel.

It smells like the forest. Like pine logs right before you put them in the fire. Like moss. Like walking alone in the midst of dark woods. I think I'm in love. Just a little bit.
I also think I have to buy this for my boyfriend.

opening is very masculine (pepper) - i like this stage. when pepper settle down it becomes more femine. i'm indifferent about this part. middle and base notes are like in 1000 of modern, male scents that we have today.
all in all - "+"

This was a Great buy! Extremely Energetic Fragrance. It has the personality of Youth at it's most Vibrant stage in life. Longevity is Phenomenal, and the compliments were staggering. The Pepper immediately takes the stage, and is present all the way to the base.

nice sandalwood/woods scent and very fresh, but smells like much of the stuff on the market and i think its kinda gimmicky
08/21/09 15:20:48
Too much Pepper.
I can use Thai herbal product instead of this stuff !!!

Energetic aroma, strong green aura vibe with a sexy spicy-woody base, simply unique, versatile and dynamic.
06/01/09 01:19:12
I think this one make me feel like I 'm standing in the forest among the pine tree...It 's really something.

I JUST left Macy's and I have this and Nautica Oceans on both my wrists. This smells sooooo freakin' good. This, Gucci by Gucci Pour Homme, Calvin Klein CK Summer 09 and Diesel Summer will be my next scents!
05/02/09 13:51:51
The perfume has a very fresh and unique smell from top to middle notes but as it begins to settle ... I can not explain it ... but it is awful ... It's pepper and his the kind of smell that hits your brain directly from how sharp it is ... very repelent ... I give it a 4/10 ... there is definetly much better colognes out there ... make sure to smell it properly as it settles ... the strong pepper note it has is awful and sharp ...

wow - i wonder how everyone is impressed by this one! i wouldnt test it - other burberrys were not very interesting for me - but my good friend is working in a parfume store... and she said a would love it!
yes - the start was really nice - similar to my favourite fragrance - l´eau par kenzo ICE - cold citrus... fresh... cooling - but after a time it was something different - more warm and spicy - also similar to... to... some other citrus fresh fragrance... which one?
definitelly - ck one summer - 2007 - nice sweeter unisex fruity mix!!!
...after few hours there was just a sweet smell... nothing special:-)
sorry for revealing the secret of beat:-)

I used the sample I got from the store today. I can't believe the reaction! I have received more positive comments (20+)from women in the office than for any other scent I've ever worn. They can't seem to resist coming up and asking "What is that? I want my boyfriend/husband to smell like THAT!" Don't argue with success, guys. They like it!
04/02/09 13:48:09
Having sampled "The Beat", I don't get all the citrus notes others are describing. For me, this progressed rapidly into a predominant pepper accord and stayed there. I find this to be very similar to Armani Diamonds and somewhat like Burberry Brit. It is nice and I enjoy it but I already have the other two fragrances and don't find that this distinguishes itself enough from them to justify a separate purchase.
Nevertheless, this is a well blended and enjoyable. Try it. I think you'll like it.

my boyfriend wears this occasionally, and i love it...it's citrusy, yet still woody and peppery enough to be masculine. i like that it's not too heavy as well.

This parfum is great! The bottle, as stated, is pretty simple, but has a certain elegant sleekness to it. Long lasting fragrance, with a great difusion when it sprays, and a lovely white pepper scent with a nice citrusy finish. Personally recommended, and this may be replacing my Armani Code or Givenchy Pour Homme!
03/05/09 10:27:23
To tell the truth, I do hate the bottle. It looks too teeny. Cause the scent of The Beat for men is not that simple. At first, I was really disappoinment because of its full of similar citruses. But after the first bases, about 20minutes, The Beat started making its own beat: a unique citrus notes. Very interesting, full of energy, with a really good longervity. Fresh enough to enjoy in fall weather. Character enough to have in my collection. Love it!
03/01/09 18:56:29
This looks very interesting. Anyone try this yet? I can't find the men's version anywhere yet.
I'm interested in this because the perfumer, Olivier Polge, has done good scents for houses like Azzaro, Armani, Bvlgari, Guerlain, Dior, Kenzo, Lancome and Liz Claiborne, etc.
