*~ The Price ~*
I bought mine when flying back from Spain in August (everyone thinks duty free is soooo much cheaper but it’s not half the time!) I paid around £25 for 50ml.

Most of the high street stores sell it for around the same price:

Boots (www.boots.co.uk)
30ml - £19.50
50ml - £26.00
75ml - £32.50
Gift Set (50ml EDT & 150ml body lotion) - £26.00

BUT if you shop online (as always) it works out cheaper…

Cheap smells (www.cheapsmells.com)
30ml - £11.04
50ml - £14.04
75ml - £17.54

*~ The Packaging ~*

*~The Box ~*

The box is a cube with a baby pink top and bottom and two, opposite sides are pink. In the centre of the top, in gold is the Beckham’s ’logo’ and each of the pink sides are identical, in gold: the logo is at the top ’Intimately Beckham’ is written in a gold box below and underneath that ’Women’ ’eau de toilette.’

The other two sides are also identical to each other, there is a picture of Victoria, her back to the camera leaning on to David who is facing the camera, Victoria is wearing a pink silk low back dress and David is wearing a black (or maybe navy) silk shirt which is open. The background behind them seems to be of hanging silver and black beads (like the ones you hang from doors) and to the side of them we see (yet again) the logo and ’intimately Beckham.’ The box opens revealing the bottle, but what I though was strange is that it has a thin cardboard strip holding the perfume bottle tighter inside the box. The box is bigger than the bottle so it seems as if they’ve tried to make it seem as if the bottle inside is going to be really big by making the box bigger?! Unless there’s some other explanation for it (please enlighten me if there is) I was quite angry at this, if you buy 50ml then that’s what you expect, your not going to think ‘oh the box is big so I’ll buy it’ - 50ml is 50ml, no matter how big the box or bottle may seem!

*~The Bottle ~*

The bottle is glass a square with a square pull-off top to match and has a gold spray pump. The bottle is clear revealing its pale pink contents. The bottle has a bowl-like shaped glass bottom inside (similar to some glasses - you know, when they’ve got that extra bit of glass inside - sorry for sounding so stupid) so it first appears that you have more perfume, so not only does the box fool you but the bottle does too! There is a pink, rectangular sticker on the front with ‘intimately Beckham’ written in gold. On the top of the lid, we find yet again, the Beckham logo. The bottle is quite feminine and pretty in general, it looks quite expensive and you wouldn’t be embarrassed to have it on your dressing table.

*~ The Fragrance ~*

The fragrance is very feminine, it has quite a flowery smell to it with a slight tinge of musk. It isn’t too strong; it’s strong enough for people around you to notice it but it isn’t so strong that you get a headache from it. It’s one of them perfumes where you think it’s faded away but then someone compliments it and asks what it is. Although there is also an ‘intimately Beckham night’ I think this perfume is suitable for both day and night wear. It’s an all round nice perfume and I will definitely be buying it again once mine has run out.
