    OK, Orwellian 'ten minute hate' coming up…what IS it with the Beckhams? When are they going to just go back home to Milton Keynes or Hemel Hempstead or their true spiritual homes and stop inflicting this terrible plague of de-haute-en-bas, patronising and frankly insulting marketing on the rest of us???

    We have Guerlain, do we really need David and Victoria Beckham? Does anybody???

    Ahh, it felt good getting that off my chest…

    Leaving aside my opinions on DB's “elegance and sensuality” which would have to be based on nothing more than what I've read so worthless anyway (did/do love him as a footballer though) – the notes to his fragrance sound lovely. I will get over my snobbery and go sniff this on the basis of them alone. Didn't LT give a reasonably good review of one of DBs?

    LOL — glad you feel better, & to keep you feeling that way, won't tell you how much longer they'll be with us.

    I can't remember what LT said, but Instinct (the original) is not a bad scent at all.
