CITRUS - WOODY
Bergamot - Amber - Vetiver
A new infatuation. A secret escape. The seductive scent of desire. Victoria Beckham evokes the enrapturing fragrance of bourgeoning romance through the memory of Portofino ’97: A euphoric hit of calabrian bergamot and black pepper; crisp white sheets suffused with incense and amber; patchouli and vetiver lingering on the skin of a significant other.
Portofino ’97 is the rush of a bourgeoning 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 — all bottled up. A tease of the fresh sea breeze is clouded with incense and amber, a lingering trace of patchouli, musk and vetiver punctuate the desire.
Each fragrance is bottled in a flacon inspired by a vintage parfum bottle Victoria collected while traveling. The blue enamel of the Portofino ’97 bottle is reminiscent of the blue waters of the Ligurian Sea.
Created in collaboration with the master parfumier Jérôme Épinette, the genderless artisanal fragrances are instinctively crafted to embody the essence of Victoria's fashion and beauty brand.
Pure excellence in every way: That's the Victoria Standard.

“When David and I first met, we were both in the midst of incredibly successful and busy years of our lives, and we kept our relationship under wraps. In 1997, we decided to take a trip to Portofino and it was very romantic. I remember the light, I remember how the hotel smelled and how exciting that time was. I remember it all like it was yesterday."

"The perfume was a present and it's great to get a free sample but because I purchased this perfume i had no option to get a free sample of the perfume I purchased which would have been ideal for carrying in a bag, also the discount was not available because you got a free bag I would have much rather received the discount than a small bag"
"Honestly can’t fault the fragrance of Portofino 97. I’m usually loyal to Diptyque for perfumes or Penhaligons but this beats them all for me. True luxury for lasting evocative scent."
"I absolutely adore this perfume. But sadly for me. I put it in my overnight bag when going to an occasion. After getting ready I went to spray myself but all my 100ml bottle was empty. It had leaked all over my bag contents. Needless to say i was devastated. The design of the bottle is a twist top cap and it had loosened. A bit of a design flaw? Maybe this can be improved. Or at least mentioned when purchasing. I got it as a Christmas present from my husband. Will probably have to wait till next Christmas for another one. So upset and angry this happened. So ladies make sure your cap is on tight."
"I purchased it for Siobhan, my wife. She adores the fragrance and it reminds her too of the wonderful times we have stayed in Portofino over the past 30 years! She's also a fan of VB Beauty."
"I really love the smell of this perfume. It just reminds me of warm nights and sunny climbs. It stays on and lasts without being overpowering."
"Gorgeous fragrance that lasts all day! You don't need to spray much, the scent is beautiful and does not fade away"
"This perfume is pure luxury! From the very first spray, it gives me a feeling of pleasure and confidence. The scent is elegant, rich, and long-lasting — perfect for any special occasion or even everyday wear when you want to feel extra special. I absolutely love how sophisticated and luxurious it makes me feel. Definitely one of my favorite fragrances!"
"My favorite iconic fragrance. Uplifting and dreamy, and stays on all day! I get so many compliments. It's pricey, but so worth it. Beautiful decanter, and packaged with elegance! You know you're receiving something very special! ❤️❤️❤️"
"The most beautiful perfume I have ever owned. Victorias attention to detail can really be felt in the essence of this gorgeous perfume. My only issue with it is that I wish the scent would last longer. It doesn't last as long as most perfumes I have owned, but still worth it."
"I love this fragrance out of all of Victoria,s range. The bottle drew me first as I love the colour. The package came well packed and the product packaging is so luxurious. The smell is delicate but lasting. It's feminine but NOT overpowering like a fast majority are presently. A super treat for myself 😆"
