Once, forgetting myself, I spritzed a good bit of it before visiting my stepfather in the hospital and instead of side-eyeing me, his nursed thanked me for making the place smell better. Twilly's sillage is assertive but never offensive-I get busloads of compliments when I wear it. I really like that bracing aspect, which translates just as impressively into the air.
A hefty slug of ginger gives Twilly much of its initial sparkle and freshness before mingling with the other notes to create something way more butch than the initial presentation, like one of those colognes that barbers slap on their customers after giving them a shave. The juice is pink, the bottle twee, and even the tuberose is stripped down, scrubbed-clean, and tamed to near-minimalism-the Stepford Wife of tuberoses.Īnd, yet, this isn't a standard fruity floral. Perfumer Christine Nagel has made no bones about Twilly targeting young women, and in many ways its millennial-market styling is spot-on. I was torn between a neutral and a positive, if it was priced about £20 cheaper it would score a green. I enjoyed wearing it, but for me it isn't bottle worthy. This is a solid well composed fragrance using good quality aromachemicals. I think it is slightly overpriced given there are feminine fragrances I like more for less money like JPG's Classique (1993) or Givency's Ange ou Démon (2006). It is affordable, but on the higher side of "everyday" designer fragrances. 5, Tom Ford Signature Collection and Dior Hypnotic Poison. This puts it on par with things like Chanel No. Value: UK Price (February 2021) is £111 for 85ml, £79 for 50ml and £50 for 30ml EdP. Longevity was around 4-6 hours with it projecting and lasting longer in the summer months.

The sandalwood is soft and well-composed, but very faint, by this point it had become a skin scent anyway. The drydown is a creamy lactone sandalwood. A sweet hay (coumarin) runs through it and is nice. To contrast with the citrus I get something slightly dark, dirty and earthy. The Tuberose is sweet and has that white floral note similar to Gardenia or Muguet.

The dirty floral notes come through quickly and remind me a lot of Juliette Has a Gun Moscow Mule (2018) which has ginger and a dirty floral mix. Although not listed as notes I get a whiff of bright mandarin and lemon.
Twilly d'Hermès starts off with a fresh, sunny ginger. Fragrance in three words: Bright Creamy Tuberose
