LONDON (AP) — Soccer star David Beckham and his pop-star wife Victoria are set to get intimate with the unveiling of a new fragrance for men and women next month.
Dubbed "intimately Beckham for Him" and "for Her," the fragrances will be sold starting next month across Britain.
For men, the line promises to bring the confidence of masculinity with a "magnetic, provocative, cool — yet never aloof" blend of grapefruit zest, bergamot and cardamom.
Also in the mix are elements of nutmeg, star anise, sandalwood, patchouli and amber.
The line includes cologne, hair and body wash and deodorant spray and stick.
For women, the fragrance line aims to convey "the essence of Victoria known only to the people closest to her," according to a statement announcing the new fragrance.
"An opulent bouquet of white flowers opens with the pure fresh notes of bergamot and rose petals that linger on the skin," is how the scent is described.
The couple, who married in 1999, have spent almost a decade in the perpetual glare of celebrity photographers' flashbulbs, but their appeal is waning.
Beckham, the world's most recognized soccer player, quit as England soccer captain after the team's lackluster performance in the summer's World Cup tournament.
He has since been ditched from the England squad, signaling the winding down of his playing career.
Victoria, once a singer with the multimillion-selling Spice Girls, made a poorly received solo album in 2001, but recently switched her attention to developing a line of designer jeans.
Besides perfume, the line of new products also includes body lotion, shower cream and deodorant spray.
Both versions are set to go on sale in Britain starting Sept. 1. There was no immediate word on whether the fragrance would be marketed in Europe or elsewhere.
