As a puritanical fashion girl who has NOT embraced the current world-wide celeb-phenom invading every aspect of ones life (models belong on the covers of fashion bibles!), it was an unexpected call up to road test the new “Signature Story” Duo Fragrances by David & Victoria Beckham – the reigning King and Queen of celebrity spruiking.
Filled with my own preconceptions as I unwrapped the packaging (matching white outfits and thrones anyone?), I could hardly believe my reaction to the altogether drop-dead chic appearance of the distinctively square, elegant, transparent glass flacons revealing embossed vintage text. They looked perfectly appropriate displayed on our Butler sinks.
Victoria’s fragrance is a clean, fresh floral fragrance that instantly reminded me of a glamorous year spent at finishing school in Switzerland. I’ve been wearing this day and night to every and any occasion and loved that it made me feel refreshed in the morning and yet sophisticated and glamorous at night. Top notes feature peach, bitter orange and kumquat and lead into a heart of rose, white peony and subtle hints of orange blossom. Musk, patchouli and moss give the fragrance lasting power and sex appeal.
With her spicy days behind her and a full time devotion to being a global style icon, it’s apparent that Mrs Beckham, has come a long way baby…
With my husband testing David’s fragrance, it was as close as I’ll ever come to having the soccer god shirtless in my bathroom. Having been dedicated to the one fragrance for years, hubby was initially surprised at the intensity (complex woody and aromatic) of the fragrance but was drawn to the bottle design and size which is perfect for his endless travel. A few compliments later and he was into the celebrity groove. “Very LA” he surmised.
Who will love this?
Give Signature Story to your friends who secretly wish they were a power couple or to someone who is utterly devoted to the photogenic duo. These fragrances are a nod to vintage glamour and the allure of two iconic celebrities of our time.
