21:50 Rêverie

Gorgeous and complex woody vanilla that somehow manages to be different from counterparts like Lune Feline, By the Fireplace and Black Tie, though I would say its in that ballpark. I find 21:50 Reverie to have a dry woodiness rather than smokiness to it, and where Lune Feline is warmed with cardamom and cinnamon, this one is warmed by a cracked creme brulee and plum compote. In that way it's a bit softer and cosier. However, all through the vanilla dry-down I can discern that enduring hot, dry wood, keeping it interesting and more evocative than most vanillas. I don't know what's happening with the reviews of this - it seems like some people have taken against it before perhaps they have had a chance to sample it. Also, whilst I don't know many of the alleged 'smellalikes', either people or Ai seem to be selecting perfumes that either have the word "posh" or "spice" in, which isn't that helpful in working out how this fragrance smells. For me, it's most like Black Tie, because of a kind of dry boxiness to the vanilla that I find incredibly moreish. Well, I've worked my way through a couple of samples and come to the conclusion it's addictive! I actually like all of Victoria Beckham's line, with Portofino being a close second, for very different reasons. A brilliant new release, made expertly by Jérôme Epinette, and I would say not typical of some of his other work. Whereas you often can spot threads of similarity across his offerings, I've not encountered this DNA before, though I hope he explores it more. Completely delicious to my nose!

I got a free discovery set after ordering some makeup off of VB's website. The samples came in a little pouch, in the form of peel off cards. So just enough product to smell, not enough to spray/test on the skin. Therefore I can only comment on the smell, not longevity/performance of the perfume. 21:50 Reverie is a lovely, lovely smell. It's unlike anything I've ever smelled before (and I've smelled hundreds of perfumes). I am usually not a fan of tobacco notes but here it's blended beautifully. I rarely qualify perfumes as sexy, however this is the vibe I'm getting from this one. It's so deep, dark, addictive. I can't stop myself from sniffing the card. If I didn't know the notes I would describe this scent as a smoky honeyed vanilla. I've just ordered some more makeup and was pleased to see a complimentary 2ml sample was added to my order. I can't wait to test this perfume on my skin and see how to performs. Definitely one I'm considering buying (not that I need any more perfume!). Will post an update in a few days, once I've received my order.

21:50 Rêverie This perfume is a warm, sophisticated, and truly sensual scent. However, I do find the initial impression a bit challenging. Currently, I'm testing it with a 10 ml sample, so I'll continue wearing it to fully evaluate it. Initially, it reminds me of grilled corn over an open fire. Thankfully, on my skin, it doesn't develop into the unpleasant notes some reviewers describe. But, after about twenty minutes, something wonderful emerges. There's a noticeable orris accord that creates a creamy, powdery vanilla. It's similar to Black Tie, but with a unique twist. The dry down is where this fragrance truly excels, transforming into a beautiful, complex woody vanilla with a mesmerizing, captivating trail. If you appreciate scents that blend the qualities of By the Fireplace and Black Tie, this one is definitely worth exploring.

Lovely, more masculine leaning vainilla, perfect autumn perfume. Out of all the scents from Posh and Jérôme Epinette, '21:50 Rêverie' is the least complex or intriguing, the least stand out or different. It's a scent that's been done a few times, nothing groundbreaking: a non-cloying, mature vanilla with woody touches and Asian vibes. Maybe that's why it's so easy to wear. It's really lovely, super wearable and dead chilled. The kind of vanilla someone who knows their stuff would wear. It reminds me a fair bit of a mix between By the Fireplace by Maison Martin Margiela, Vainilla Skin by Phur and Spicebomb Infrared by Viktor & Rolf, but with its own vibe, very cold weather, proper wintery feels.

I thought I was done with vanilla until I found this incredible scent. Opens with a heavy note of tobacco leaf but fortunately this fades quickly and adds a nice rich, smoky touch to the vanilla as it dries down. The fragrance doesn’t change much once it dries down and smells to me like a nicely balanced mix of smoky, earthy vanilla with fruitiness from plum. Do not get confused though - this is mainly a vanilla scent, there is not much dark about it. The vanilla is sweet but not cloying, I would suggest this is a more mature vanilla for vanilla lovers. I struggle with a lot of the popular vanilla blends because I am sensitive to tobacco & leather, but this just hits the sweet spot.

This smells nothing like cigarettes or cigars. This smells like smoky honeyed vanilla on the drydown. Yes maybe a little tobacco at the top that fades away after dry down. This is a beautiful perfume which I just purchased the full bottle after I got my hands on the discovery set. I plan on making this my winter scent. It does remind me a little of Vanilla Royale Sugared Patchouli by Kayali a little, don't get me wrong I love that Kayali scent, but IMO Vanilla Royale Sugared Patchouli could have done less with so much tobacco and Patchouli and done something more along these lines. I find the lasting power on 21:50 Rêverie is amazing 8 hours + This is def a LOVE for me.

Don't overthink this one or dismiss it because it is from a designer/celebrity's brand (which admit I initially did). 21:50 Reverie is a really beautiful warm, plummy scent. If the scent was a color, it'd be a rich amethyst. Sometimes I get a predominant tobacco scent, which I love and DOES NOT smell like cigarettes or ashtray. And other times I get a predominantly vanilla scent. Perfect for cool summer evenings, fall, and winter. Moderate sillage and projection with Incredible longevity. I don't find any resemblance to BR540 whatsoever. Closer to Celine Black Tie and Guerlain SDV with far better performance than either of those pricey beauties.

Love it! I was looking for a nice blended tobacco vanilla perfume and this is it!It is less sweet and more complex than Tom Ford tabacco vanille. I didn't like TF tobacco vanille at all,although I am huge fan of a TF house. But VB made a perfect blend here. Dry and varm tobacco vanila with the fresh juicy plum. Cedar gives a woody unisex edge and makes this masterpice so sexy and mature and perfect for all seasons. I think that without cedarwood in the base,this would be a bit too much in warmer months. Gorgeous creation! The drydown reminds me of Floraiku Sand and skin, another favorite of mine.

Listen, this is not for everyone, BUT SHE IS FOR ME! This is so smooth on my skin. I get the tobacco leaf: soft and slightly aromatic. It develops to a hint of smoke that quickly dissipates and it gives me a soft vanilla in a bed of tonka and woody nuances. The plum makes a short appearance, but a pleasant one. It gives spicy hints here and there, remaining a fragrance with depth and elegance while sensual and enticing. You want a crazy combination to elevate it to and soften it if you find it too strong? Layer this with Cuir Beluga... You're welcome

Starts out smokey, ends up with an earthy vanilla. I love it. The only problem is I wish it lasted longer on my skin. This is a light and inoffensive fragrance, but overpriced. I'll repurchase it anyway since I do enjoy it and I normally don't like vanilla anything. Edited that my nose must not be working, because after spraying this on today someone outside noticed it, and I still can smell it faintly ~7 hours later. Definitely a subtle sweet scent though. A friend did ask if I was wearing Sol de Janiero. No comment.

I'm an SDV devotee, but my biggest complaints are projection and longevity. I LOVE this. I love the fresh new raw vanilla. I know who Victoria Beckham is, though I'm not too familiar with her, and I found the story behind it interesting. I believe this is real raw vanilla. My issue is that the tobacco, etc is gone in minutes. I wish it dried down to more than plain old vanilla. The vanilla itself is beautiful though, will enjoy wearing. The flask bottle makes it look more expensive than it is.

As a very picky, usually anti vanilla nose (as quick reference hate Bianco Latte and can appreciate Babycat but still not my thing)...i love this. I ordered the sample pack thinking Portofino 97 would be my first full bottle. Rev blew me away and I'm still surprised. It is deep and sexy and the tobacco vanilla i have wanted. I think this could be worn all year round although I've only had it for about a month and the high temps have not hit yet so we'll see.

Deep Sexy Vanilla This is an intoxicating vanilla perfume. The Tobacco note in this perfume is very light, there’s just enough to create a sexy cocktail lounge feeling, or a beautiful ski resort vibe (not cigarettes and smoke). The tobacco, plum, dark vanilla, and cedar wood blend beautifully together. I would encourage anyone looking for a rich, deep, sexy vanilla for fall, winter or even all year round, to give this one a sniff! It’s so good, I love it!

One of the sexiest perfumes I've tried. The advertising design - the story, the photography completely matches the scent. After the initial strong tobacco, vanilla begins to emerge. But it's neither girly nor sugary sweet, but grounded like the primal power of a woman. I think of night, fire, the closeness of the jungle and lust. It's quite brutal, but the sweetness of vanilla, glowing like coals in a fire, makes you feel warm and safe.

Though not listed, there’s definitely an Iris/orris style note in 21:50 that gives it that buttery smooth, powdery vanilla effect. It’s very Celine-esq, particularly with that vanilla-Orris combo Celine uses on repeat. Honestly, I could wear this everyday. It’s signature scent worthy. I agree with the comparisons to Black Tie and Nightclubbing, but 21:50 just feels like it’s got a little more zest for life with the plum note.

This is a lovely fragrance, and while I like all the VBB lineup this is my favourite. It’s a dark, almost smoky vanilla and there is an earthy undertone, which I imagine is a combination of the plum and cedarwood notes. It smells autumnal, so a great idea to release in October. It reminds me of November by CB I Hate Perfume, but a more complex vanillic version. It’s priced in the luxury range, and in my opinion is worth it.

This is the first tobacco sent I have ever enjoyed, and I’m obsessed. Absolute love at first sniff, I can’t stop smelling my wrist when I wear this. It’s sweet and smokey and cozy with a lot of vanilla. If you don’t like the smell of very realistic tobacco or sweet syrupy vanilla, you won’t like this. This is the perfect cold weather scent but i love it so much I wear it a lot before i go to bed. So cozy and sexy!

I adore this perfume. I am in no way a VB fan, and this isn’t my usual DNA preference (not being a fan of tobacco) but I gave this a sniff out of curiosity and have been obsessed with it ever since. It’s my comfort, safe place in a warm friendly hug scent. Warm, cosy sweet vanilla plum chocolate with a little woody tabacco to really ground it. I love to spray it on my bed and I can smell it for days.

Someone said "something about this is giving freshly turned soil vibe, like when you’re getting your garden ready for a new season".. Wow...I actually saw the picture and smell it... Nice description. Muy rico vanilla sweet tabacco woody smooth... is almost like mossy, musty humidity, earthy... with oud but soft, like wet soil. Super unique parfum. I adore it. Unisex. Not for everyone..

This is warm and sophisticated. The trail on this one is mesmerizing, bewitching in a way. Different than Black Tie but in the same vein though. The sugar and woodsy notes are just so vibrant!! Black Tie has more of a powdery vibe and is a lot less sweet than 21:50 Rêverie... I am impressed by this one from Victoria Beckham. It’s the best out of all four! Definitely worth a try!!!🖤🖤🖤
