Launched in 2008 by the design house of Burberry, Beat for Men is often touted as the best perfume for businessmen, thanks to its crisp, minimalist and powerful tones. Created by perfumers Olivier Polge and Domitille Bertier, who are known for their effervescent scents, The Beat starts off with a fresh, peppery scent that dries down to sensuous leathery notes towards the end. The scent is modern and masculine, without being too loud, making it perfect for daily office-wear.
