Victoria Beckham's eponymous beauty brand is offering a set of perfumes at an affordable price, and it includes a scent for every occasion, from sophisticated to casual. The Fragrance Discovery Set lets customers experience a selection of luxury scents for just £30, meaning they don't need to fork out on a full-sized bottle for £170 to try them out.
Included are three of Victoria's first-released perfumes: Portofino `97, Suite 302, and San Ysidro Drive. They come in 2ml vials that are designed to reflect the design of the full-size fragrance bottles.
Speaking about the inspiration behind her scents, the former Spice Girl said: "When choosing which perfume to wear that day I take the same decision making process I would with fashion, it depends where you are going, who you are going with, how you are feeling, and based upon that I will wear a different perfume (and in fact why it was so important for me to create more than one)."

Featured in Victoria's three-piece perfume set, Portofino `97 opens with Calabrian bergamot and spicy black pepper before unfolding into a heart of sea notes blended with amber and incense.
Discussing her fragrance, the fashion designer stated: "When David and I first met, we kept our relationship under wraps. This was when I was in the Spice Girls, when we were enormously successful all around the world, and David was playing for Manchester United.
"In 1997, we decided to take a trip to Portofino. I remember the light, how the hotel smelled and how exciting that time was. I remember it all like it was yesterday."
Meanwhile, Suite 302 is a combination of feminine and masculine notes, opening with hints of black cherry and red pepper. While its heart features romantic violet and rose, the base is more daring with black leather and tobacco. This scent is said to celebrate Victoria and David's love for Paris.
The 51-year-old style icon spoke about Suite 302: "This fragrance captures the memories of David and me in Paris. This is the city we sneak off to; it is always our happy place, whether for an occasional weekend, a birthday, or an anniversary. I've always felt a natural connection to Paris."
When describing San Ysidro Drive, Victoria explained: "It signifies a time in my life that was full of new beginnings and self-discovery whilst living in California. It was revitalising, calming, peaceful.. and I think we captured that essence with this fragrance with an intense rush of passion fruit and pink peony, ocean air infused with rich rose absolute, saffron flower and agarwood, and black amber and vanilla."
Beauty fans have heaped praise on the perfume bundle, with one saying: "Loved the Fragrance Discovery set so many beautiful fragrances to choose from."
Another raved: "This is such a great idea but dangerous my husband had to buy 3 of the four fragrances as I couldn’t choose. Delightful packaging. To get an offer of 20% if you purchase a full size is fantastic which is exactly what I did. It is so refreshing to have perfumes that are as perfect as Chanel etc."
A third added: "Love all of them! Already purchased the full size bottle of Portofino ‘97 but definitely I will order some of the other fragrances! Soooo feminine and sexy, remarkable and individual!"
Yet, not everyone was happy with the perfume set, one three-star review reads: "I liked the Portofino fragrance but it didn’t last long on my skin. The others are way too masculine for me." Someone else wrote: "Perfume all smells the same and strong alcohol scent."
