At last! I've figured out how to scent myself just like Victoria Beckham for £30.
As a beauty editor with a passion for fragrances, there’s nothing that brings me greater joy than discovering a new perfume. The Victoria Beckham Beauty perfumes are among the top choices of our Who What Wear UK beauty team, and they truly are great conversation starters. However, expanding your fragrance collection can be pricey, especially when it comes to luxury scents. That's why I’m excited to share my tip for experiencing high-end perfumes at a lower cost: perfume discovery sets. Fortunately, Victoria Beckham Beauty offers two fragrance discovery sets that let you sample the scents before investing in a full-sized bottle priced at £170. Additionally, you can use the cost of the sample set towards your favorite scent, making it a win-win situation. The Signature Collection Fragrance Discovery Set

With this set, you also get a £40 voucher to apply towards a full-sized bottle, allowing you to test and enjoy each scent to find your favorite without worrying about buyer's remorse. I've personally tried this set, and you can easily get three to four uses from each vial. The Original Collection Fragrance Discovery Set

Portofino '97 Eau de Parfum
Key notes: Calabrian bergamot, black pepper, incense, amber, patchouli, vetiver Editor review: It’s no surprise that this is the best-seller, and it was my favorite scent from the discovery set. This citrus fragrance has an uplifting start reminiscent of a summer breeze, evoking the feeling of being in a luxurious hotel on the Amalfi coast, gazing out at a bright blue sea from a lavish balcony. Inspired by Victoria and David Beckham's romantic getaway to Portofino in the ’90s, it features a refreshing blend of bergamot, black pepper, and a musky, skin-like note that feels akin to slipping into soft, high-thread-count sheets. Pure bliss.

2. 21:50 Rêverie Eau de Parfum

21:50 Rêverie Eau de Parfum
Key notes: Tobacco leaves, plum, vanilla, Tonka bean, cedarwood Editor review: This alluring vanilla fragrance is my second favorite and has received many compliments. It’s smooth, creamy, resinous, and evokes the ambiance of a tropical island at night. Drawing inspiration from the Beckhams’ visit to Java, where they dined under candlelight surrounded by a lush rainforest, this is a sensory scent that lingers beautifully on the skin—ideal for those who seek a sophisticated vanilla experience.

This fragrance is both elegant and enticing, with ripe black cherry mingling with smoky tobacco and musk, making it irresistible to want to keep sniffing your wrists.
