Victoria Beckham is reminiscing about days of wine and roses.
In a new Instagram Reel promoting her new Victoria Beckham Beauty fragrance Suite 302, Victoria, 50, shared a funny anecdote about a decades-ago date night with her husband David Beckham.
She kicked off the Nov. 16 video sitting on a luxurious couch, telling fans she was at a restaurant in Paris that she and David, 49, used to go to in the ’90s together. “It really takes me back,” she said of the candlelit venue. “There’s something so glamorous about Paris — it feels very opulent… so sexy.”
“I remember when we came here in the ’90s. I remember ordering a bottle of wine, like a really special bottle of wine. Back in the day was when we would struggle to finish a bottle of wine, the two of us,” she continued, jokingly adding, “We don’t seem to have any problem with that now.”
Victoria then recalled how everything felt “so over the top,” noting that the “heavy tobacco smell” in Suite 302 feels very Parisian, taking her back to the ’90s and paying homage to the opulent time in her life.
“The heavy drapery, the velvet couches, the color palettes, the little tassels on the chairs. I love the way that we have bottled all those elements and put them together to create Suite 302,” she detailed.

“I love being back here — I definitely say this is our happy place. I love the people, I love the energy, of course I love the wine,” she continued of the Parisian venue. “Who doesn’t?”
Victoria added that the person she imagines enjoying the fragrance is very elegant and elevated. “I really wanted to capture both how I felt at this time, and how David felt at this time as well. This is about the two of us. This is about our special quality time in Paris in the ’90s. It’s Suite 302.”
The fragrance, which includes notes of black cherry, leather and tobacco leaves, embodies “traces of the romance of an anniversary trip to Paris and epitomizes memories of pure glamour,” according to the Victoria Beckham Beauty website.
The mother-of-four is known for including personal stories when it comes to her fragrances, per Vogue.
The former Spice Girl launched her beauty line in 2019. Decades before, she met David at a Manchester United game when he played for the soccer team in 1997.
The retired professional athlete told PEOPLE exclusively in September that he “absolutely” fell in love with Victoria at first sight. “She was a Spice Girl and sexy and beautiful and charming,” David said.
“Then I found out what a strong woman she is,” he continued. “So it’s again the gift that kept on giving.”
