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."

"Ich kann es nur mit einem Satz beschreiben: ich bin verliebt in diesen Duft! Er verkörpert für mich einen Sommerabend in Italien, am Strand, der Blick wandert über‘s Wasser - warm, sinnlich, leicht herb und soooo köstlich! Man fühlt sich umhüllt und umarmt von diesem Duft - er wird mein Signatur Duft !"
"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"
"El perfume es exquisito para las personas que le encanta lo cítrico y oloroso a dinero sin dudas un perfume ESPECTACULAR"
"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 freaking lovvveee this perfume. I purchased it like four times already . it’s really chic and elegant and fresh. I don’t know how to explain it properly but it’s really good. I get stopped all the time."
"Fantastic perfume, love The different tones escaping from your skin, slowly, seductively, tantalising and carries the parfum for ages."
"Such a rich fragrance, and so powerful and lasting. One spray lasts for hours"
"Portofino 97 is by far my favorite scent. It’s everything I love in a bottle. Unfortunately, it does not last. Not a single person has commented while I’ve been wearing it and I can’t even smell it myself after an hour or so. It’s too expensive for that."
"The scent was slightly different from the small "teaser" gift I got with my previous purchase."
