Perfume is transportive. A single spritz can catapult you to a sure time and place—your grandmother’s backyard, maybe, or a rebellious night time out you wish to relive repeatedly. Victoria Beckham’s 21:50 Rêverie Eau de Parfum is supposed to move you to a date along with her husband, David. (If that alone would not affect you to purchase the scent, I do not know what is going to.)
The pair was having fun with an open-air dinner in Java, Indonesia “surrounded by rice fields and vanilla vines,” the model founder recounts. At precisely 21:50 (aka 9:50 p.m.), your complete panorama lit up with hundreds of twinkling tea lights. It was a dream, one which Beckham instantly wished to bottle with a heat, sultry vanilla perfume and—for one week solely—recreate with a pop-up artwork set up at NYC’s Excessive Line. After receiving an early peek on the immersive, multi-sensory area and chatting with Beckham herself, I can confidently say that it is a fragrance it’s essential to expertise.

21:50 Rêverie is Beckham’s fourth perfume, and it is her go-to for fall. “If you happen to like a vanilla with a distinction, you are going to love this perfume,” she tells me. “It is my favourite out of all of our fragrances up to now.”
Many gourmands run the chance of smelling manner too saccharine (it is why I am personally very choosy in terms of the perfume household), however with smoky tobacco leaves, crisp cedarwood, and tonka bean, Rêverie has an earthy grit that brings some complexity to the equation—the “distinction,” in keeping with Beckham. There’s additionally a shocking juiciness to the perfume, due to its center notes of plum.
Similar to the remainder of the model’s perfume assortment, Rêverie is genderless, and in keeping with Beckham, it is meant to be shared like a decadent dessert—one plate, two spoons. “I like to share perfume with my husband,” she says. (I then need to ask whether or not she’s been sharing Rêverie, to which she responds: “I do.”)
The bottle itself—an emerald and gold flacon—is a murals, so after all it is represented by a grand sculpture positioned in the midst of the set up. The pop-up additionally options audio sound clouds of the scent creation in Beckham’s personal phrases, in addition to a “dream wall,” the place guests can write down their very own hopes and manifestations. It is like leaving a bit piece of your self behind, ensconced in a Beckham-inspired daydream, earlier than departing with a complimentary pattern of the perfume.

Now, every time I put on 21:50 Rêverie, I am transported proper again to that beautiful Thursday afternoon, the scent of vanilla and tonka bean mingling with the crisp fall air.
