Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Portofino '97 EDP
A sophisticated blend of citrus and aquatic notes makes Victoria Beckham Portofino '97 both refreshing and luxurious, ideal for moments that require understated elegance.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Forever Love EDP
This is a real love-it-or-hate-it summer citrus. While some rave about its natural, juicy fruits and strong performance, others dismiss it as an overpriced, weak 'orange tang' or 'rotten mango' with zero longevity. Sample before you commit to this divisive beast.
