Victoria Beckham launched her much-hyped Signature perfumes today at Harvey Nichols in Manchester, UK.

Why Manchester? “It was meant to be in London but I said no,” the former Spice girl told The Diary. “I said please can I go to Manchester instead? I love Manchester, it’s got a really good feel to it. So I thought why not – I usually spend a lot of time in London.

“Manchester’s just so fashion conscious. And there’s great shopping.”

The 34-year-old high-profile fashion icon was seen in an angel-like outfit, complete with a pair of white feathery wings.

Signature For Him embodies husband David Beckham’s vision of ambition and masculinity in a fresh woody oriental fragrance with invigorating top notes, while Signature For Her is said to be a seductive fruity foloriental reflecting Victoria’s innate flair for fashion.

The development of the scents was shrouded to a large extent, and no one seems to know why Posh didn’t call a bash in its name. The grapevine has it that only Vicky’s new Hollywood chums – Eva Longoria and Kate Beckinsale – have had a sniff of the perfume before its launch today.

Signature is the third fragrance to be released by the Beckhams, after Intimate and Intimate Night.
