Twentyone Black

I smelled this on my teenage co-worker...And I couldn't believe when she told me this was rue21. I never shop at rue, but I'll be coming in to buy this lil beauty. It smells so freakin good!! This is one of the nicest coconuts ever. Well done coconut. So many designers try and fail miserably at coconut, yet somehow rue21 mastered it lol. How about that?? As for the scent itself, it reminds me of the tanning bed if there were blasts of vanilla wafting through. Yes, it does smell like tanning oil or sunscreen...that comparison is what kept Me from trying this. BuT! It's sun lotion smelling in the sweetest, most yummy way possible! This is what I expected fcuk friction to be like. Or wanted it to be like, really. (It wasn't, it stunk!) This is such a relaxing and warm type scent. Very crowd pleasing, nothing too crazy. Perhaps some might find it too juvenile, but it's such a simple and versatile scent..anyone that likes coconut will pleased. It sits close to skin , but If you spray it directly on your clothes, you'll smell it all day. I smelled it on my co-worker all day and she applies it before leaving for work. Try it out. It might even be better than VS coconut passion. this is straight up coconut scent..where coconut passion is more vanilla with a tiny hint of sweet coconut. This is both beachy and summery, or cozy sweet and wintery. Love it! Must have it! Try it out coconut lovers. Even perfume snobs will like it :)

i ordered a bottle after my last review and it came in! smelling this is so nostalgic i just wanna bathe in it. so yummy, the coconut is almost rich. i love the scent that makes it just a tad musky so it has a lot of depth and isn’t just sweet. the way all the notes work together is so amazing. i mean this in the best possible way, it has a smell in it that reminds me of colored pencils, like a waxy and wooden smell. i don’t thin it’s gonna last long on my skin bc i don’t remember it lasting long, but if definitely will if you spray some on your clothes. i don’t even mind bc it’s cheap and the smell makes up for it. i wonder how i would feel abt it if it wasn’t my favorite in middle school and it wasn’t such a nostalgic scent lol. i know i’d love it tho. i would never think to pick out a scent with notes like these, so i’m glad little me tried it in store at rue 21. - i wanted to add, after sitting for a while (on my shirt not skin) it kind of smells like bubble gum!! like really hubba bubba bubblegum!! so yum

I did my research looking for beach in a bottle, on a budget. The reviews have stated it is not too youthful, sweet but not cloying, long-lasting, and it doesn't smell cheap. I whole-heartedly agree. I'm mid 30's, I don't want to smell like a cupcake, but I've been craving suntan lotion, beach scents, anticipating summer. Bronze Goddess is on my list, but I'm watching my pocketbook, so I was trying to find something inexpensive, that fit the bill. This is that scent. I'm feeling the beach, I smell the fruit, I can smell faint Hawaiian Tropic, but it's not overpowering, and it doesn't smell like a big bowl of sugar. There's a very sharp note of pineapple in the drydown that is almost nauseating, but it quickly passes, and what's left is a very nuanced fragrance that is extremely complex. I keep sniffing myself, reminding myself that amazing smell is ME...

This stuff is EVERYTHING... I usually like rue21 scents, although some of them are very weak and one-dimensional sweet. But this one is AMAZING... the coconut is so sweet and somehow juicy? And creamy too? It's sopping coconut (yes that's the best word for it), and it's rather strong especially for the price. I don't get any of the other notes -- maybe it's a bit of the pineapple giving it that juicy quality -- but it's soooo much coconut. It's amazing. I got this on sale for $10, but I think it's usually $12.99 or something. It's been a staple at the store and for good reason. I'm wearing this well into October because I love it so much! It isn't a beachy, breezy coconut to me, it's just so sweet. It could work with a gourmand combo or a summery one, so it's versatile too!

So about a month ago after reading reviews about this perfume of course I had to go to Rue21 with my oldest son while he shops and check this perfume out for myself. OMG I love this!!!!!! The longevity on me is weak and sillage is moderate but the scent makes up for it!!!! This scent is all coconut and pineapple on me!!!!! This is my 2nd favorite coconut perfume with VS Coconut Passion being my 1st all time favorite!! If you love tropical coconut scents you'll love this!! **Side note....This is definitely a repurchase for me and last night while at Rue21 I was checking out their other perfumes and tested a few and needless to say I was impressed!!! The longevity of a few of them really surprised me and I'll be back today to get a few bottles!!!
