Advantages: Gorgeous, long lasting, unique and classy!

Disadvantages: None unless you don't like floral fragrances of course lol

When it comes to celebrity fragrances I'm really not a fan of them at all. At 34 years old never do I get excited that someone from a reality show has produced a line of products or that a wag has got her self a job producing and selling us rubbish and rush out to be among the first to purchase it! It's just not my scene and when it comes to scents I like to go upmarket.

Of course I know who the Beckhams are but I stick with the statement I just made. I don't like them enough to want to line their pockets further with my gold! I don't want any celebs clothes, or to smell like them or anything else and if I want to buy a nice perfume I'd rather opt for an established brand such as Chanel or Versace or something like that.

However one day I was in Boots and my Mum was taking ages making her mind up about her purchases hithering and dithering about as usual. So I was just hanging around sniffing tester bottles not taking any notice of what brand they were or anything and stumbled across this and just really loved it. When I found out it was 'Intimately 'Beckham' I was somewhat disappointed to be totally honest with you but I have to be fair it doesn't look cheap and/or tacky or anything so I decided to buy it!

The Packaging....

I purchased a 30ml bottle (which cost me £19.09 in Boots but also in the women's version of this it is available in 15ml, 50ml and 75ml sizes and it's also is available in the men's version of this (yes there is for him lol) in the same sizes too and of course it's also available in Intimately Beckham for the ladies and the men (not the night versions but a lighter one) and there are body lotions available in the ladies fragrances too!

My perfume came in a purple box with all gold writing on the front of it and orange on the back. On the front I'm told it's Intimately Beckham 'Night' Woman. Eau De Toilette Natural Spray (Vaporisateur) and the size is stated on the bottom clearly. There is a clear plastic window so that you can see the bottle through the box. On the back of the box website details for the product range are given (www.Beckham.Fragrances.Com), ingredients are listed, I'm told the product is exclusive to Coty, on the bottom of the box contact details for Coty are given, the recycle symbol is displayed and finally there is a black bar-code on there.

The Bottle is square and chunky purple glass with 'dvb' engraved into the top of the lid, a band of gold to the bottom of the lid matching the gold writing on the front telling us it is Intimately Beckham is displayed and then finally there is a clear sticky label on the bottom of the bottle with white writing on it telling me again it is Coty Paris, size is stated and I'm finally once again told it is Eau De Toilette.

Really nice packaging I like the way that this isn't a tacky looking box or bottle or in you face or anything, it's all just really classy really. Sophisticated and clean cut and nice to display without screaming your a wannabe or owt, I like it!

The Fragrance Itself....

Well this perfume is called 'Night' and that is because it is a very strong (when first sprayed) long-lasting fragrance. Very sexy, sassy and bold it's simply stunning in my opinion but you'll only agree with me if your into very feminine fragances! If your a light an airy perfume wearer, when you first spray it you probably won't be impressed but give it a chance for heavens sake! After a few minutes the strongness really does soften nicely but remains able to be smelt for hours.

The fragrance itself is just a little heavier than the 'Intimately Beckham For Her' (original). It is a composition of Tangerine, Bergamot, Cinnamon, Lily Tuberose, Orange Blossom, Clove, Sandalwood, Patchouli, Vanilla, Tonka Bean and Myrrh.

When first sprayed onto the skin the clear liquid really smells very strong of the sandalwood and an airiness of tangerine about it giving it lift but when it settles down onto the skin you really do get the full blend of ingredients wafting up your nostrils which are really incredibly blended and smooth smelling. I would describe it mainly as a floral scent but although strong and fragrant it remains light in many ways. It's a beautiful evening fragrance, smooth and velvety, totally sophisticated and has many dimensions to it. Sweet, delectable and a really gorgeous offering from Victoria Beckham I'm really, truly impressed! Not one bit tacky this oozes sex appeal and is a must own! I like the warmth given to this with the vanilla and cloves and love the flowers chosen in this giving it a beautiful sweetness and the fruits giving a great uplift, it's just so beautiful.

Can be found in many discount stores online and known chemists and of course prices vary but expect to pay about....

15ml £6.00
30ml £19.09
50ml £25.45
75ml £31.81

I purchased mine in Boots and am delighted I did!
