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!!!

I was looking for a suntan lotion type of perfume, as a tribute to summer. This one surprised me by smelling like Baccarat Rouge 540! The opening is a sharp and fresh splash of pineapple and peach. very fruity. This is followed quickly by the blast of coconut and sweetness. The fruit smell fades almost instantly on me and the coconut, amber and woodsy musk lingers like a warm echo of Baccarat Rouge. It is not an exact dupe, it lacks the cedar note, but it has more staying power than Ariana Grande Cloud for me. A yummy and cheap dupe if you want to smell like Baccarat Rouge for barely a dent in the pocketbook. Very nice as its own scent, but when I wear it I sometimes wonder later in the day, "Did I apply the BR today? Smells like I did!:

You smell that? It's summer baby!!! Girlish and youthful, I'm glad I got one last bottle before Rue21 starting closing. When my niece reaches her teen years, I'll probably pass the rest of my bottle on to her. I don't break it out often, but on a summer day when I'm meeting up with old friends to grab a fruity drink and catch up, it's my go to. Always layered with Hawaiian Tropic sunscreen, naturally. The opening notes die pretty quickly, but the creamy coconut and white florals stick to skin longer than you'd expect for a cheap perfume. It's fun, affordable, and absolutely yummy. A safe blind buy for anyone who wants a little slice of summer a year round.

i need a bottle of this stuff, i smelled something that had a similar vibe and it took me back to middle school. i have not smelled a perfume since that i loved and felt like was perfect for me since. even my teacher in 6th grade asked what i was wearing and little 11 year old me was obsessed. to me it has this musky pheromone scent that makes it so addictive, but it’s also creamy and comforting and it rounds it out so nice. it’s so cheap!!!! i don’t even care if it doesn’t last long i just want it for the nostalgia plus it’s such a good deal. rue 21 please keep this stuff forever, it’s my preteenhood in a bottle.

Decided to pick this one up again, and I am so glad I did. This is such a soft, fairly straight forward coconut scent. It starts out smelling a tad like Pina Colada, however the drydown is all about coconut on my skin. It has been so hot in Virginia, and this is going to be one I wear a lot this Summer. I have been loving Coconut fragrances lately, and this is such a great affordable option. Perfect for layering if you enjoy doing that. I was hoping Tease Dreamer would be at the VS Semi Annual Sale so I could get a full bottle - Twentyone Black, however, is pretty close to it therefore I am perfectly content.

I was thinking about this perfume again today and found it is still for sale! It is such a winning perfume, my bottle from 10 years or so ago still smells great! I never really got the pineapple or orange notes on myself, this was always a distinctly bright coconut to creamy coconut scent. I think it is such a perfect summer scent, and hey, maybe layered with something could do some damage other times of the year. After looking at it after years, of course I loved this with the base notes of musk, woods, and amber, they really take the coconut to a soft and lovely place as it dries down hours later.

i used to wear this in middle school. this fragrance really takes me down memory lane. because of the memories associated with this particular fragrance, i will probably not repurchase it, however, i absolutely love how it smells. it smells so sweet, and you definitely smell the coconuts. after it dries down you get more of a floral musky scent. it is truly one of a kind, and i love how it smells on me. i know that most will say it is best suited for summer due to the coconut, but i really think you can get away with wearing this one year-round. rue 21 had some amazing fragrances back in the day. ♡💌

this perfume is sooo good lol. at first spray it’s a cloud of alcohol so hold ur breath girl & spray. wave ur arms around sprayed area lol to get it to calm down. then after about 10 min, this scent shines. it’s coconut, pineapple, vanilla, berries not sure. it’s super sweet and smells like a pina colada. decent longevity and it’s cheeap lol like 10 bucks at rue21. safe blind buy but they usually have a tester so jus smell it then girl

I cannot tell you how much I LOVE this scent!! I totally agree with all the reviews that say this is beach in a bottle and more! Even though it is very similar to Harjuku Lovers 'G', Twentyone Black does not have the soapy undertone that I smell in it, which made me sneeze. I just hope I can continue to buy this on ebay as I know it has been out for a fair while now. I have already bought an extra bottle as back up!

I used to love this fragrance, but recently I have been detecting a weird note in almost all coconut perfumes; it's smells like celery, and it's so overpowering that I can't wear Black anymore. I don't know if my nose has changed or what. And I know the perfumes have not gone bad because it's all coconut fragrances.

Classic favorite for all ages. Especially the older ladies. They are surprised how they can get away with wearing this perfume when it’s targeted for younger teens. I could sell this one easily to mature adults. I really think this perfume made them happy that it was only 10 bucks and so rich and fun.

This is the perfect fragrance for summer..it smells just like coconut with a little bit of vanilla. It reminds me of sunscreen but in a good way. Its only $10 but it smells like something that would be a lot more expensive. I looovee it

This is one of my absolute favorite fragrances ever. Creamy coconut...yes it does kind of smell like tanning lotion..but I love the smell of tanning lotion. Smell lasts a long time too. For only 10 bucks you can't go wrong!

I love this scent! It reminds me of the beach with creamy coconut mixed with florals. It’s fresh and clean and screams summer. This is wonderful edition to any coconut lovers’ collection!

MY favorite perfume ever!! IT reminds me of cereal, like fruit loops almost, its so sweet and delicious I cant get enough of it

I got this for 9.99. It is a coconut gem. It last quite a while and smells like it could be escada. I'm pleasantly surprised.
