Victoria Beckham’s 21:50 Reverie Is Such a Date Night Scent

Fragrance is transportive. A single spritz can catapult you to a certain time and place—your grandmother’s garden, perhaps, or a rebellious night out you want to relive again and again. Victoria Beckham’s 21:50 Rêverie Eau de Parfum is meant to transport you to a date with her husband, David. (If that alone doesn’t influence you to buy the scent, I don’t know what will.)

The pair was enjoying an open-air dinner in Java, Indonesia “surrounded by rice fields and vanilla vines,” the style icon and brand founder recounts. At exactly 21:50 (aka 9:50 p.m.), the entire landscape lit up with thousands of twinkling tea lights. It was a dream, one that Beckham immediately wanted to bottle with a warm, sultry vanilla fragrance and—for one week only—recreate with a pop-up art installation at NYC’s High Line. After receiving an early peek at the immersive, multi-sensory space and chatting with Beckham herself, I can confidently say that this is a perfume you must experience.

21:50 Rêverie is Beckham’s fourth fragrance, and it’s her go-to for fall. “If you like a vanilla with a difference, you’re going to love this fragrance,” she tells me. “It’s my favorite out of all of our fragrances so far.”
