Victoria Beckham Fragrances Overview

We're talking about it today, you all, Victoria Beckham Beauty, specifically their fragrance line, because I ordered their Signature Collection Discovery Set, which is all four fragrances. I played in them, and I have some thoughts about them, so let's get into it. Welcome back to the channel, everyone. And this is Emery here. Yes, we're doing a sampling series video on Victoria Beckham fragrances. Yes, this is a relatively new collection. I know she's had fashion. Now she's been getting more into the makeup and things, but now she has a fragrance collection. I've been hearing a little bit of buzz about it. In particular, one fragrance that caught my eye. So I said, you know what, let's order samples of the whole collection and really see is it giving or not. So for those that don't know Victoria Beckham, yes, I am a child of the nineties. So she will always be Posh Spice to me. Of course she is a Beckham. You know, she married to him. What was his name? David Beckham. He's now retired too. Okay, we're getting older. David Beckham, the famous soccer player. Of course she used to be in Spice Girls. So now this is her new project and let's get into it. So of course, when it comes to celebrity brands, they don't have a good track record. So that's why I was like, I know I'm hearing buzz about this line, but I'm not blind buying anything. Because me and celebrity brands really don't get along that well. We're gonna be responsible and talk about these scents. Lipstick of the day today, everyone. I am rocking out with MAC Taste Me, and this is a peachy nude color. Let me know what you think about it in the comments below, as well as everything on my face, beauty-related wise, as well as all the fragrances and things will be in the description box below. So you do not have to ask questions. Next up, we have fragrance of the day, you all. And this one is new as well. Hot off the presses, spring 2025 release. This is Creed's Elydaria, you all. This is gorgeous. Powdery rose, peony, cashmerian, vanilla, gorgeous. Creed did this one for the girls for sure. That again is Creed's Elydaria for your fragrance of the day. And now let's get into these fragrances from Victoria Beckham Beauty. You all know we moved to the side for these types of videos. So let's get into it. This is how they come. I ordered directly from the website because that is who sells their discovery set. Other retailers do carry the fragrances I've seen, Nordstrom carry them, also Neiman Marcus has them too. Bergdorf Goodman in New York as well. They also have it. So I will say that it is available at retailers. It's not just only her website, but for these samples here to go to her site, it comes in this nice bag. The presentation gave PR package. And I appreciate that because even though this wasn't PR, of course I spent my own money for it. I still like the feeling of a PR package and I'm sure you all do too. I mean, you know, it feels special. So this is how they come when you order the set. There is an option to order three samples. There's also the option to order the four set, which has all of them. I ordered the four because I wanted to be nosy. Plus I know the elves and y'all said y'all wanted to hear about these scents too. So here we are. These are all four fragrances. This is how they come. They are two meal samples and all of them are sprays. Yes, so these do have atomizers, which we know. That's our favorite. We love that. So now let's talk about the first one and the one that is getting the buzz and the one I cared about. And that is the Portofino one. All of them come with these little cards, by the way. So I will be reading information from here directly from the brand. So Portofino 97. This one is a beautiful teal aqua colored bottle. That is my favorite color. It just makes me so happy. So I'm already drawn to the bottle. Also has gold accents. Gorgeous. I have pictures of all the bottles, by the way, so you can see. Also, I'm not mad at the price point, too. A full-size bottle at 50 mil is $200. A 100 mil is $290. You can tell based on the retailers. I know she's selecting, you know, the Neiman's and things, Bergdorf and all that. She's going more upscale, but it's not outrageous all the way. I'm not all the way mad at it. I'm going to be okay with the fact there's a $200 option. I'm like, okay. It's doing just enough, it's doing just enough. So I give her a credit. So Portofino 97, we have, this one is supposed to be like an escape, more vacation type of scent. So it's supposed to have notes of Calabrian bergamot and black pepper. Then we also have crisp white sheets with incense and amber, patchouli in this one as well, and some vetiver. That's what we're supposed to get from this scent. And I'm gonna tell you what I got from this scent, cause this was the one I have the highest expectation for. Let me tell y'all. The hype is real, and the hype is legit. Portofino 97 is excellent. Love it first sniff for me, y'all. 100% is what love it first sniff. This is the one I sprayed first when I bust the package open, because I'm like, I just need to see, is it giving what the girls are saying it's giving? So, this one's interesting because there's a sweetness to this scent, but I'm also getting like the citruses of a typical Portofino scent. I think Mediterranean Vacation is what it is. So, I'm getting it, but I'm also getting that incense in here too that gives it a little kick with the pepper. So, it's like enough going on in here for me where I'm not bored because I'm like, okay, Portofino. I'm like, naturally, and a lot of y'all probably thought this too, whenever I hear Portofino in any fragrance, I want to always compare it to this one right here. This is Tom Ford's Neroli Portofino. I've already done a dedicated review on this one on the channel. Definitely check it out if you haven't already. So this right here, I'm thinking it's going to be citrusy. More kind of green, aquatic, watery, also poor longevity. You know, that's also a horrible reputation of this fragrance and any fragrance in this type of scent family. They don't do well. Summer freshies Yeah, but this one right here, this Portofino 97, this is the feminine Portofino fragrance a lot of us have been wanting. It's just, it's more feminine. Don't get me wrong. I own, of course, Neroli Portofino and I can wear it. However, I will admit that the head elf wears this more than I do because I like how it smells better on him. I like it on me, but it's even better on a man. And so it's unisex leaning masculine to me. Whereas this Portofino to me is unisex leaning feminine. I really like this. This, oh man, another scent too that also came to mind that I also love and was a lover for a sniff. It's like the sweetness in it and how relaxing it is. It's kind of similar as well to this one right here. And this is Xerjoff's Torino 22. For the ladies, you all know when it comes to whether Torino 21 or 22, Torino 22 for the ladies. Because there's a relaxing herbal sweetness in this one too. So kind of a vibe that's in here. However, this one goes, when I say this one, I mean the Portofino. This goes more in the incense citrus bergamot thing. But the same style of sweetness in Torino 22 is also in here. And I'm smelling it. I love it. This isn't the comparison to be mad at it. I love it. This right here is full bottle worthy. And that again is Portofino 97. I love this one. You will see a full-size bottle in my collection. Next up, now this one isn't talked about as much, so I'm intrigued to smell it for myself. And this is Sweet 302. Now this one is supposed to be like a little rendezvous, escapade situation, a little scandalous a little bit. So in this one, we have notes of black cherry and red peppercorn. We also have rose, So we have midnight violet, narcotic musk, plush velvets. Papyrus Black Leather and Masculine Tobacco Leaf. Now, truthfully, when I read this, I said, okay, I don't think I'm gonna like this one because me and papyrus do not get along. Then when I see masculine tobacco leaf, I'm like, ooh, it's gonna smell smoky. I do like tobacco, but gotta be done a certain way. So let's get into it. With Sweet 302, this is giving cigar ashtray to me. That is literally what this smells like. I'm like, whoa. No, I don't like the smell, by the way. Not sure if y'all know this, I used to actually smoke cigars recreationally, so I know this smell anywhere. Um, I don't know. I don't like the smell like it. That's why I don't do it no more either. So, ah, no, this right here, mm-mm. I smell the pepper, I smell the incense, but it just smells like straight up cigar ashtray to me. This is a medium no. I hated this one when I smelled it. So, sweet 302. This was one I'm interested to see how the fellas would like this one because it's 100%, more masculine scent to me. Like it's giving Cigar Lounge. Uh no. Sweet 302, no. I'm good on it now this next one I've also seen some buzz from it from the girls I've been seeing people get full-size bottles of it so that's for me is a real thing it's one thing to be like oh I saw it in a store that's cute but when I see full-size bottles and things I'm like okay now we talking the girls are really liking it and that was this one as well this is 2150 riviere so I said Let me see what it's giving. So with this one, it's supposed to be a nighttime scent. It's supposed to be a grassy scent of tobacco leaves carried by candles in the tropical wind. Okay, the plush trace of plum on the lips of another, the earthly rawness of vanilla pods and tonka beans blending with cedar wood of the land. Okay, that's really magical. So tobacco, plum, vanilla, and tonka bean and cedar wood. That's what we're really getting here. This was a little bit for a sniff. It was, y'all. It was. For me, this is a vanilla and tonka bean scent. That is what this is. I understand the lovely write-up and all, but vanilla and tonka bean. That is what this scent is. Sweet, sexy gourmand, but it's not a heavy gourmand. This is a gourmand you could actually wear on a summer night. It is really good. This one will leave a sexy trail. Wow. This one is This one is absolutely full size bottle worthy to me. I like this. See, this is what I mean by, like, I'm cool with the gourmands. I just don't need everything smelling like food, like, directly like food. Because then it smells juvenile to me. I'm like, I can't do this. This is a sophisticated grown woman gourmand vanilla. I am here for this one. 2150 Riviera. This one is also going to do numbers. I see this one going viral as well once the girls want to get hip to it. This is good. This is good, I like it. And then we have the last one that I heard absolutely nothing about, so I was most intrigued by this one. And this is San Sidario Drive, yes. San Sidario Drive, interesting. It's supposed to be a happy scent, an uplifting scent, burst of energy, how they have this written up. So it's supposed to be passion fruit and pink peony. We also have ocean air, we got rich rose, saffron, agarwood, black amber, vanilla. Incense as well. It's okay. It's a lot going on. Like Passion Fruit, Rose, and Oud. I'm like, okay, Vanilla. Let's see what goes on here. For me, this was a incense-y Rose and Oud fragrance primarily. However, the magic was in the dry down. Because I'm like, okay, Rose and Oud. We done smelled that a million times. Everybody named Mama can make a Rose and Oud fragrance. Groundbreaking, whatever. This one though, once it dried down, I came back to it 30 minutes later. The Passion Fruit came out. And then it turned into a Passion Fruit and Oud scent. I was here for this. I was here for this. This is a good time if you're going out in warm weather and you're gonna be dancing, it's gonna be a party. This right here is excellent for that. San Sidario Drive. I'm here for it. The only other fragrance that comes to mind that it reminds me of in my collection and actually is better than it to me and it reminds me of this one right here and this is from Tiziana Terenzi and this is Maroc. This one right here. Maroc isn't really talked about a lot. A lot of people talk about its sister to be in the same collection but This is a nuclear rose and oud scent. Like one spray will fill this room for weeks. Like that's why it's rare. I wear this one, it's too potent actually. However, this San Cedario Drive is in the same family, but it's way more easier of a wear. I would absolutely reach for this like 100% especially as summer gets here. I am intrigued by this one. So San Cedario Drive. is a yes for me after I've experienced this dry down this was a win all right everyone it wraps up this brand overview on these fragrances the good thing is about ordering the discovery set too I'm not sure if I said this at the beginning of the video but you do get a voucher for the price that I paid for this which was 40 dollars and that 40 dollars goes to the purchase of a full-size bottle on the website they automatically send you your coupon you know once you get your package and things so that's cool which I like because as y'all can tell I did like some scents in his collection and in particular I like the Portofino 97, number one. Number two would be the 2150 Riviera. And then number three would be the San Cedario Drive. That would be number three. I do not like suite 302, so that one's immediately off the board. So I will be using my voucher. We appreciate that. But yeah, this is why we do discovery sets. This is why we do brand overviews to really get a feel for them. Also, too, when you place an order, you can pick, like, some more samples and things out. And, y'all, I'm so happy I picked these two because I had a feeling they would be my favorites, and it did happen. So, I did get an extra sample of the Portofino 97 and the 2150 Riviera. So, hey, I can continue to play in these while I wait on the full-size bottle. So let me know what you think about this house. Have you all smelled them? Have you bought samples?
