Victoria herself comments on the fragrance, sharing: “When David and I first met, we kept our relationship under wraps. This was when I was in the Spice Girls, when we were enormously successful all around the world, and David was playing for Manchester United. In 1997, we decided to take a trip to Portofino. I remember the light, I remember how the hotel smelled and how exciting that time was. I remember it all like it was yesterday.”
Retailing for £170, this perfume is designed to emulate the rush of a burgeoning romance: the adrenaline, the flirtation, the infatuation. It’s the thrill of a secret escape—an ode to the early rendezvous of Victoria and David to the Italian seaside bottled up.
With lingering notes that tease the fresh sea breeze, clouded with incense and amber, a lingering trace of patchouli, musk and vetiver punctuate the desire, this fragrance was created in collaboration with the master parfumier Jérôme Épinette, the genderless artisanal fragrance is instinctively crafted to embody the essence of Victoria’s fashion and beauty brand.
