Police is an Italian designer fragrance line, an offshoot of the Police eyewear brand, sitting firmly in the value designer tier. The range leans masculine (16 pieces) and feminine (10) with two unisex, and skews strongly fresh (16) followed by gourmand (7), with fruity, floral and warm-amber rounding out. Prices run from about $14.44 to $149.99, with most pieces sitting well under $50, the classic value-designer band. Top accords are woody, citrus, sweet, fruity and fresh. Standout live picks: Police Potion Arsenic For Her (coconut-cinnamon smoke with sweet floral warmth), Police Amber Gold Woman (amber and mossy oud wood on warm skin), and To Be My.Avatar for Man (warm spiced resins, rum and cocoa). If you want value-tier Italian designer with wearable everyday scent, Police is one of the deepest options in the sub-$50 band.
