Police To Be (Or Not To Be) 125ml Eau de Toilette Spray for Him

To Be (or Not To Be) by Police is a Woody Spicy fragrance for men, launched in 2011. Bold, modern, and instantly recognisable, this distinctive fragrance takes inspiration from Shakespeare’s famous phrase, “To be or not to be”, reflecting the contrasts of life through a blend of fresh citrus, aromatic greens, warm woods, and sensual amber.

Designed for men who appreciate individuality and confidence, To Be combines freshness and depth in a versatile composition that can be worn comfortably throughout the day and into the evening.

The fragrance opens with a vibrant blend of grapefruit and black pepper. Grapefruit delivers a bright citrus freshness with a slightly bitter edge, while black pepper adds an energetic spicy kick that creates a dynamic and masculine introduction.

At the heart, violet leaf introduces a fresh green nuance with a subtle powdery elegance. This note softens the spicy opening while adding sophistication and a modern aromatic character.

As the scent settles, rich notes of patchouli, amber, and Virginia cedar create a warm and lasting finish. Patchouli adds earthy depth and richness, while amber provides smooth warmth. Virginia cedar contributes a clean woody structure that enhances longevity and masculinity.

To Be is ideal for men who appreciate woody spicy fragrances with fresh citrus brightness and versatile everyday appeal. Clean, contemporary, and easy to wear, it works beautifully for casual outings, office settings, social occasions, and year-round use.

Presented in Police’s iconic skull-shaped bottle, inspired by the mystery and intrigue of ancient crystal skulls, the fragrance perfectly reflects its bold and unconventional personality.

How to Apply:
Apply it to your body's warmest points, such as the wrists, neck, chest, and inside the elbows, where body heat helps intensify longevity and projection. Avoid rubbing after application, as this can reduce the fragrance’s longevity and alter its development. For wrist application, apply the fragrance after hand washing and reapply lightly if desired.
