Police To Be Eau de Toilette 40ml Spray

Police To Be Eau de Toilette 40ml is the compact, travel-friendly size of the brand's confident, woody-spicy fragrance for men, originally launched in 2011 and signed by perfumer Alexandra Monet. A bright, slightly peppery opening of grapefruit and pepper leads into a quietly green violet leaf heart, before settling into a smooth, warm base of amber, Virginia cedar and patchouli — presented in the line's instantly recognisable skull-shaped glass flacon.

About Police Fragrances

Police is an Italian lifestyle brand founded in Vicenza in 1983, originally rising to prominence with sunglasses and accessories before expanding into fragrance. Its scents are produced under licence by Mavive and have built a strong following in Europe for accessibly priced, well-crafted compositions. The To Be line debuted in 2011 with this signature masculine fragrance and has since extended into a long-running franchise of flankers (The King, Goodvibes, Sweet Girl, Tattooart).

Who it's for

Police To Be suits men looking for a confident, slightly distinctive daily signature with a warm, mossy-amber drydown. The 40ml format is a sensible first bottle or travel companion. The composition is at its best in autumn and spring, comfortable for casual evening, weekend and date contexts, and pairs naturally with smart-casual or leather-jacket dressing.

How to wear it

Spray onto pulse points — the inner wrists, sides of the neck and chest — from around 15 cm away. Apply to clean, moisturised skin straight after a shower for the longest wear. Two to three sprays balance well; the cedar-and-patchouli drydown develops over the first hour.
