As I am a bit of a perfume junkie most of my family and friends bought me a bottle of perfume or a perfume gift set for Christmas. My lovely mum bought me three different perfumes and Intimately Beckham for her was one of them. I had seen Intimately Beckham for her advertised on the TV just before Christmas and quite liked the look of it, especially the packaging because it was nice and pink. So when I unwrapped the present mum got me for Christmas I was quite pleased with the perfume she had chosen for me.
Packaging
Intimately Beckham for her was a part of a gift set so it was packaged inside a lovely square box, with a lid. The box is a really light baby pink in colour and looks so pretty and feminine. The box doesn't have very many decorative details on it, so it looks very simplistic and plain. It has Intimately Beckham written in gold metallic lettering, and at the bottom of the box it tells you that the perfume inside is a 30ml bottle of eau de toilette accompanied with a 150 ml bottle of Intimately Beckham silky body wash. I think the clever use of design makes the box itself look very sophisticated and elegant without looking overly fussy. Usually when I go into Boots looking for a new scent I pick the one which has the brightest, boldest packaging or the nicest looking bottle because it stands out more from the rest.
The Bottle
The perfume bottle has a simplistic design to match the packaging which also gives the bottle an elegant and sophisticated design. The bottle is made from clear glass and is filled with baby pink coloured perfume similar to the colour of the box. It is quite a small bottle so it fits nicely inside my bag without taking up too much room, so it's the perfect perfume to carry about with me. What I really like about the bottle is the fact that it is small and has a very symmetrical square shape to it and the lid has the same symmetrical square shape as the bottle. The perfume bottle has a gold metallic spray top which again matches the gold coloured lettering on the box. So the design of the packaging and the perfume bottle all tie in with one another and making it look really pretty and feminine.
The Scent
I would describe Intimately Beckham as being a light, sweet, fruity fragrance which has a subtle hint of musk. The perfume doesn't smell really strong and floral when I am wearing it and I have had a few compliments about it and people asking me what perfume I am wearing.
When I first sprayed this perfume onto my wrist it smelled quite strong and musky and I automatically thought that it was going to be another perfume on my "Don't use or buy again list". After about 10 minutes of spraying the perfume it had settled down an awful lot and didn't smell as strong and musky, it smelled a lot sweeter, lighter and more subtle, and I could smell a subtle hint of vanilla accompanied by musk. Although the perfume smells musky, it isn't as deep and musky smelling as Soft Musk perfume. It is a subtle musky scent and the vanilla makes it smell feminine and sweet without being overpowering and strong like musk based perfumes usually smell.
Intimately Beckham for her Eau de toilette is described as having ~
Top notes of Bergamot and Rose petals The top notes are scents you can smell as soon as the perfume has been applied. The first smell will normally be the alcohol content of the fragrance which evaporates quickly. The op notes are normally a lot lighter than the other notes which are used to make up the fragrance.
Middle notes of Casablanca lily, sublime tuberose and orange blossom The middle notes are known as the heart of the fragrance and the other notes centre on this layer. The middle notes define the character of the fragrance as it's normally this layer that settles on the skin.
Base notes of vanilla, sandalwood and musk. The base notes provide a base for the middle notes to linger on. The base notes determine how long a fragrance lasts. As there are only a few notes that last long, the majority of fragrances use the same base notes. The base notes are the ones which last longer than the middle and top notes.
Intimately Beckham is an eau De Toilette and is one of the most commonly bought perfumes because it is cheaper to buy than an Eau De Parfum, although it doesn't have as good a staying power as Eau De Parfum because it is less concentrated and has a fragrance concentration of up to 14%.
The perfume smells lovely and subtle; I think that it is a flexible perfume which can be worn for any occasion it is just down to the wearers own personal preference. I have worn the fragrance during the day as a casual perfume and also at night time when I went out clubbing and it suited both occasions well.
The scent has good staying power although it didn't last as long as I would have hoped for. The fragrance lasted for about 5 hours on my skin before I needed to top it up again in order for it to smell stronger. The perfume may in fact last a shorter or longer amount of time on a different person because everyone has different oils in their skin, and this usually determines how long a scent will last on you.
Body Wash
The body wash is in a pink tube with a flip style lid and has the same feminine pink and gold colouring as the perfume bottle and the packaging, so it's all matching. The body wash is a thick gel which has a subtle hint of pink colouring and smells almost identical to the perfume, the only difference is that the body was has a more delicate and subtle fragrance.
If you layer the Intimately Beckham body wash and the perfume you will find that this gives the perfume more staying power. I found that when I did this that the scent of the perfume lasted almost 2 hours longer due to the fact that it had the body wash to layer its self on to.
Perfume Information
If you read my last perfume review you can skip this paragraph All perfumes smell slightly different on different people, and this is due to us having different oils in our skin. The staying power of a scent also differs from person to person because we have different types of skin oils too. I said in the review that this perfume lasts for about three or four hours on me, but it could last a longer or shorter amount of time on you. If you like the sound of this perfume then I advise that you go into your local perfume store and test it before you buy it. When testing the scent spray it onto your wrist and wear it for a few hours before you decide whether you like it or not, because the scent changes the longer you wear it due to the different notes which make up the fragrance.
When testing a perfume don't smell the scent on a perfume card because it might smell lovely on the card and when you buy it and wear it at home it might smell totally different and you might not like the scent you are wearing.
Price and Availability
I received Intimately Beckham as a Christmas gift from my mum so I am unsure of where and how much she paid for it. I expect she possibly got it from either boots or body care and paid in the region of £18-22 for it.I did a search on Yahoo to find some prices for the fragrance and found the following ~

Review of David Beckham Intimately Beckham for Her Eau de Toilette Spray
Advantages: Nice feminine smell Disadvantages: Can be pricey
...the camera leaning on to David who is facing the camera, Victoria is wearing a pink silk low back dress and David is wearing a black (or maybe navy) silk shirt which is open. The background behind them seems to be of hanging silver and black beads (like the ones you hang from doors) and to the side of them we see (yet again) the logo and 'intimately Beckham.' The box opens revealing the bottle, but what I though was strange is that it has a thin ... ...The box is bigger than the bottle so it seems as if they've tried to make it seem as if the bottle inside is going to be really big by making the box bigger?! Unless there's some other explanation for it (please enlighten me if there is) I was quite angry at this, if you buy 50ml then that's what you expect, your not going to think 'oh the box is big so I'll buy it' - 50ml is 50ml, no matter how big the box or bottle may seem!

Advantages: nice smell, long lasting, not over powering Disadvantages: expensive, not much perfume
When I picked this up for a spray in the shop I wasnt expecting it to be nice. I was expecting a bland unoriginal smell but was surprised. It has a nice subtle smell that lasts.
I would say it is a flowery fruit mix, not your average perfume. It is different from others I have smelt and I cant quite put my nose as to whether it is fruity or flowery.
It is packaged nicely and the bottle is very elegant. Overall I would say the perfume is more of ...

Advantages: Gorgeous, long lasting, unique and classy! Disadvantages: None unless you don't like floral fragrances!
perfume came in a purple box with all gold writing on the front of it and orange on the back. On the front I'm told it's IntimatelyBeckham 'Night' Woman. EauDeToilette Natural Spray (Vaporisateur) and the size is stated on the bottom clearly. There is a clear plastic window so that you can see the bottle through the box. On the back of the box website details for the product range are given (www.Beckham.Fragrances.Com), ingredients are listed, I'm told the product is exclusive to Coty, on the bottom of the box contact details for Coty are given, the recycle symbol is displayed and finally there is a black bar-code on there.
The Bottle is square and chunky purple glass with 'dvb' engraved into the top of the lid, a band of gold to the bottom of the lid matching the gold writing on the front telling us it is IntimatelyBeckham is displayed ...
Advantages: nice composition, reasonably priced Disadvantages: its a Beckham fragrance.
and wear it at home it might smell totally different and you might not like the scent you are wearing. I made this mistake a few times in the past and wasted £30 on a fragrance which I didn't wear again and put in the bin.
Staying Power
IntimatelyBeckham Night has relatively good staying power considering it is an EauDetoilette fragrance. The scent of IntimatelyBeckham Night lingered on my skin for a good 8 hours or so before I could no longer detect the fragrance on my skin. I could apply this fragrance before I was due to go on a night out and still smell it hours later when I returned home. This is a good thing because you don't really need to carry it around in your handbag to reapply it often.
When I am using the perfume I find that three or four sprays at any one given time is more than enough; as if you use too much ...
Advantages: Smells great! Disadvantages: The fact it lines her pocket if like me you don't like her!
intoxicatingly beautiful and would be ideal for going on a date! My other half loves this so much and thinks it is a very sexy smell.
This smells better on the skin than on card, it needs the body's warmth to get the true scent.
The Beckhams got it spot on with this one! ...
