A sophisticated blend of citrus and aquatic notes makes Victoria Beckham Portofino '97 both refreshing and luxurious, ideal for moments that require understated elegance.

Our Verdict - Midnight Coast Extrait
This one's a proper head-scratcher. Some reckon it's a zesty, marine masterpiece, others get nothing but plain bar soap. It seems to be a 'love it or hate it' situation with no middle ground.
