In a rather refreshing insight on the celebrity fragrance trend, Victoria Beckham, the celebrity behind Intimately Beckham for Her, “is worried her new perfume won’t sell – because she doesn’t think people want to smell like her.” Victoria, a former Posh Spice of Spice Girls and a wife of footballer David Beckham, told Now magazine: “I always knew David’s would sell because it’s him. But I wasn’t sure if anyone would want to smell like me.”

I’m in L’artisan’s Histiores d’Oranger, which I love. I was a fan of Annick Goutal’s Neroli, and I bought Eascale a Portofino , but this is pretty perfect, since the… April 19, 2024 at 12:59pm

cynthia: At last, someone is sayin’ it like it is. Thank you for posting this link. September 28, 2006 at 11:47pm
Nina: Goodness,if only such honesty had visited Britney, Paris, JLo… I thought the Intimatelys were OK, actually. Nice bottles, very Gucci. September 29, 2006 at 11:19am
Flor: Refreshing to know she understands that. All celebs should ask themselves that question. Cummings (eau d’ridiculous), Britney Spears (eau d’white trash), Paris Hilton (eau d’skank), and the list goes on and on. September 29, 2006 at 11:32am
daruma: That really makes me feel for her, for the first time ever. I almost like her for that. Almost. September 29, 2006 at 3:56pm
Lesley: I actually like the line; it’s elegant and just the right touch. It’s not over powering like loads of clebs scents.
But I’m glad to here Victoria is realizing… well reality. December 30, 2007 at 5:57pm
