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 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 😆"
"I love the crisp freshness of my Portofino perfume and it lasts all day long! Scents are so evocative that, much like VB, it always makes me smile as I remember visiting Portofino on a sailing boat, it was magical!"
"Portofino perfume is a sun‑drenched escape in a bottle. Fresh citrus, soft florals, and a clean, modern warmth make it the perfect fragrance—effortless, elegant, and instantly uplifting. The ideal companion for any getaway."
"Finally purchased after wanting this scent for over a year. Love it. It does start very strong and mellow relatively quickly. Just bummed I missed the free keychain promo by a day."
"This is my new favourite perfume. I get so many compliments when I wear it. Long lasting and a small number of sprays goes a long way."
"When you buy an expensive perfume, you expect people to notice that you are wearing it. And they really don't! Although I absolutely love the scent, it doesn't seem to last on my skin very long at all. Perhaps its me!"
"I will 62 and have used wonderful perfumes - but Portofino is so special and different to anything I have ever used - frankly, the best perfume for ME!"
"On first application of a free sample I knew it was a beautiful & definitely different from anything else I've tried before, it smells expensive and enjoyable to wear, definitely a winner for me"
"Such an elegant scent! I absolutely love Portofino '97 -- and receive so many compliments when I wear it."
