New campaign for Intense Instinct fragrance
Shows off tattoos dedicated to children
Jay Z's fragrance is outselling Beckham's for first time since launch in 2009

He lives for his four children so it's hardly surprising that David Beckham loves showing off the tattoos he has dedicated to them.

In his new fragrance campaign, the footballer proudly showcases his ink inscription to his daughter Harper.

The inking sits just above his tattoo of Jesus being carried by three cherubs, which are meant to symbolise sons Brooklyn, 12, Romeo, eight and Cruz, six.

Phwoar! David Beckham looks chiselled in his new advert for his fragrance, Intense Instinct, and ensures that his ink tributes to his children are on show

Beckham said at the time: ‘It’s Jesus being carried by three cherubs and obviously the cherubs are my boys and so my thought of it is that at some point my boys are going to need to look after me and that’s what they’re doing in the picture. It means a lot.’

The 38-year-old looks chiselled as he poses topless in the new shot for his fragrance, Intense Instinct.

'Inspired by David’s sharp judgement, self-belief and his ability to overcome any obstacle, Intense Instinct is an aromatic and fruity fragrance that will inspire any style-conscious, focused and driven man,' reads the fragrance's description.

David said: 'Intense Instinct is an invigorating and contemporary fragrance for men with green, luminous notes and woody undertones.

'I believe it’s important to trust your instincts in life and this has inspired this new limited edition of my fragrance.'

David Beckham has been the top selling male celebrity fragrance since 2006 with the launch of his eponymous scent.

Since then Superdrug has sold over 1.5 million bottles bearing Beckham’s name. Until now.

It’s a battle of the boys in the £400m+ UK male fragrance market as Beckham sees the first serious challenger to his fragrance empire in the form of hip hop icon Jay Z.

Power couple: Jay Z and Beyonce, who have been performing together on the Mrs Carter World Tour, both have best-selling fragrances

Since launching on Valentine’s Day this year, Jay Z’s fragrance debut, GOLD JAY Z, has outsold Beckham’s latest scent by 8:1, based on two weeks of sales for both launches.

Superdrug even predict that Gold Jay Z will be the biggest male fragrance launch of the year, with multi-million pound revenues.

And it seems that sweet success runs in the family with Beyonce's Rise fragrance topping Mother's Day gift lists.

Poor sod, he's filthy rich and will never again know hardship, and neither will his kids. But I don't think he's got much going for him in other ways. He doesn't have a career, as such, he just has his photo taken in his underpants quite a lot. That requires even less talent than his wife needs to keep her rich person's play career, going. These unstoppable self publicists leave such an unpleasant taste in the mouth. Their claims of being 'an ordinary family' is such bs, Does anyone even attempt entertain ridiculous ideas like that anymore? They are like a couple of spoiled kids who have too many toys, with kids of their own. For God's sake, let's have a very long break from the boring Beckhams.
