Advantages: Musky smell perfect for the evening

Disadvantages: None

*Introduction*

I love my perfumes and I take any opportunity to get one free. I am a big fan of the Glamour magazine website and saw a competition that was going on for the month. I applied each and every day as all you had to do was enter your details. You didn't even have to answer a question. It didn't look as though I had won anything as a month had passed but one Saturday morning there was a parcel for me. I was quite puzzled as I was certain that I hadn't ordered anything so I unwrapped the package to find a bottle of Beckham Intimately Night for Her Eau de Toilette.

*The Claim*

Intimately Beckham Night for her is a daringly intense take on the original Beckham fragrance. Glamorous and stylish, Intimately Beckham Night captures David and Victoria Beckham is a powerful and intense moment.

*About the Product*

Intimately Beckham Night for her is an opulent, heady, captivating fragrance taking the hook of the original version and giving it a seductive, after dark twist. This new dimension of feminine sensuality opens with sparkling zesty tangerine and bergamot spiced with cinnamon. The white flower heart of intoxicating lily, tuberose and orange blossom is enhanced with a hint of clove. The bottom note adds the haunting depth of sandalwood and patchouli warmed with irresistible vanilla, Tonka bean and myrrh.

*Price and Availability*

Beckham Intimately Night for Her Eau de Toilette can be bought from a variety of different shops including Debenhams, Boots, The Perfume Shop and House of Fraser. It is also available to buy online from www.boots.com if you prefer to buy perfume online but my advice is to smell it first in a shop. I don't believe that it will be to everyone's taste.

You can buy this perfume in 3 different size bottles. The prices for these average at around:
- 30ml bottle: £20
- 50ml bottle: £26
- 75ml bottle: £35
I think that these are relatively good prices for the size of the bottle that you are getting. I would be happy to pay this price if I were to buy this perfume (instead of win it - still thrilled at that) as the smell is sophisticated and unique. It is a smell that I could actually imagine Victoria would wear herself.

*My Opinion*

The packaging: This perfume is a square, chunky deep purple glass bottle. The bottle is a very dark colour which gives the perfume a slight mysterious feel and the gold rim around the lid and writing at a touch of class. The lid of the perfume is also square and pulls on and off to show the dispenser. I like the lid as it is a snug fit and doesn't fall off.

It isn't the most imaginative packaging in the world, but it is sophisticated and classy, quite like Victoria herself. And the deep purple colour of the bottle works well with the idea that it is a night fragrance as it reminds you of the evening. And although it is a dark glass, you can still see how much of it is left at any time. All in all, I think the packaging is simple yet stylish and encompasses Victoria Beckham's personality.

The smell: I don't think I have ever smelt so many different scents in a single perfume than this. It starts off spicy, then gets a little floral and finishes quite musky. When you initially spray this perfume onto your skin you will notice instantly the aroma of cinnamon and tangerine. This smell is spicy and I can't say that I was too taken with it. But after about 5 minutes, this aroma settles and you are finally left with a muskier scent which I prefer. I find that it is the vanilla aroma that is most prominent and I like this as I am a fan of this scent in a perfume.

This smell is a audacious, sexy scent which you will love if you are fond of feminine smells. It surpassed my expectations for this perfume and I was very pleased with the outcome. Is it glamorous and stylish like it claims? Yes it is indeed!

Staying power: I think that Beckham Intimately Night for Her Eau de Toilette is a very nice fragrance that stays longer than most that I have used. It is also very strong which is probably the reason for its great staying power and long lasting scent. As I have only worn it during the evening, I cannot tell you whether it lasts all day but I can inform you that it will last a good 4-5 hours which is the duration of time that I have worn it.


How many squirts of the perfume are required? I think that between 2 and 3 sprays of this perfume are sufficient to get the scent that you desire from this perfume that will last all night long. I think that Beckham Intimately Night For Her Eau de Toilette is one of the perfumes that you need to be careful that you do not over use as it has a slightly intense quality which those around you may find a little too overpowering.

Longevity of the product: I have found that this perfume is lasting me a very long time for the reason that I only wear it when going out in the evening and this is something that I don't do on a regular basis therefore it doesn't get as much use as other of my perfumes.

*Would I Recommend This Perfume?*

I would recommend Beckham Intimately Night for Her Eau de Toilette for anyone that is looking for a perfume for the evening that will give you a sensual, seductive smell. I don't tend to wear this perfume as a day time scent but there is absolutely no reason why you couldn't if you desired to although it does lean towards being an evening scent in my opinion and as it does have 'night' in the product name.

Would I recommend it as a perfume that would be a good gift? Only if you know that the person that you are buying it for likes it as it isn't a smell that all will like. I suggest you try asking their thoughts on it first.

*Overall*

On the whole, I really do like this perfume but I am not sure that I would choose it over some of the others that I have. It has a great smell for the evening, but it isn't really one that I would choose to wear during the day therefore although I find it to be superior on pretty much every level, I very much doubt that I will buy it again.

Summary: A great evening scent that is sexy and seductive
