    Exquisite and unique; I’m already on my second bottle and will keep buying. It’s made me addicted to ginger…

  2. I tried it on a free tester at a perfumery. At first, I was surprised; it’s not typical commercial fare and transported me back to the 90s. It reminded me of when I was younger and my godmother, who loves her perfume, used something similar for picnics and summer club outings. The more it settled on my skin, the more I loved it, until having that spicy yet sugary ginger scent on my nose became obsessive, making me want to smell it constantly. At first, it’s stronger and softens over time; it lasts 6–8 hours on my skin, isn’t intrusive, and the projection isn’t intense, becoming more intimate after two hours.

    Very vintage; it recalls Avon classics (Imari, Timeless) with that strong, sharp amber air typical of a coquettish older lady. For a moment, it also reminded me of toilet block disinfectant. So, not resoundingly good.

    Very vintage; it reminds me of classic Avon scents like Imari or Timeless. It has that strong, spicy amber air typical of a flirtatious older lady. For a moment, it reminded me of a toilet block disinfectant, so it’s not a resounding success.

  5. What a gem of a perfume! I tried it in duty-free and loved it so much I had to return and buy it again. A spiced citrus floral… I can’t quite define it; it’s a warm yet soft scent that leaves a huge trail without being annoying, ideal for the office or poorly ventilated places… I’ve received several compliments. It lasts 8 hours on skin; projection is strong for the first three hours before becoming more intimate. The packaging is gorgeous, very coquette.

  6. This perfume is INCREDIBLE. At first, something didn’t quite work for me, but afterwards… 😍 It becomes a unique fragrance with excellent projection and longevity.

  7. Let’s see 😖, I was so excited to try it at John Lewis and what a disappointment. To my nose, it smells like a public bathroom air freshener, nothing pleasant, even repulsive. Neither cheerful nor luminous. 😰 Aaarrggh.

  8. Let’s see 😖 I was so excited to try it at Selfridges. What a disappointment; to my nose, it smells like public bathroom air freshener. I don’t find it pleasant at all; it seemed repugnant. Neither youthful nor luminous. 😰 Aaarrggh.

  9. Crispy ginger with a floral evolution. I would have preferred it to be linear without those flowers that make it retro; in my taste. It’s a lovely fragrance, not youthful but rather different and spontaneous. The good thing is it’s not overused and is pleasant. The bad thing is it lasts a mere breath on me and it’s pricey. Edited April/2024: I need it in my life; although it doesn’t last long on my skin, it has fresh and candied flowers with ginger in just the right measure. It seems a bit retro, but I’d wear it entirely for daily use, taking advantage of its originality; no one would smell like this in my circle, haha.

    It’s a very youthful and luminous fragrance; I don’t perceive the vintage vibes others describe. It’s a scent that doesn’t invade but whose presence is felt, a very huggable manifestation.

    An almondy and spiced (from the ginger) scent, sparkling, neat, and with a classic touch that makes it elegant without being formal. It conveys joy… I feel it smells youthful but not of this era, like a young girl from the 90s. I feel the scent is familiar but I can’t recall what… surely due to the vintage touch, I must have sensed it in another fragrance when I was a child in the 90s. I see it as ideal for all year round: in winter, the slightly warm spiced note ‘dresses’ up, and in summer or spring, the citrus and sparkling notes refresh. It’s not sexy or daring, more cheerful but with personality. I’d love for it to be more accessible for daily wear. Does anyone know a dupe?

  12. Delicious and unique, completely distinct from everything in my wardrobe. It opens with sweetened ginger that gives a real energy boost, moves into a powdery, soapy floral heart, and dries down to a woody base without ever losing that ginger touch. On my skin, it lasts 6–8 hours depending on the weather. Very versatile for casual wear; at work, people always say, ‘Oh, it smells so good in here’ 😉.

    It has become my favourite fragrance!!!! It’s delicious and I feel so happy when I wear it, as if it’s accompanying me all the time. It’s expensive, so I don’t use it daily, but I wish I could wear it more often 🙂 <3

    Honestly, it’s delicious; it’s that perfume that makes you feel divine. For me, it works in all seasons, depending on how many sprays you use. It lasts well on the skin, the trail is good, delicate, feminine, and everyone likes it. I don’t think it’s for everyone; you have to find that captivating point. You either like it or you don’t; there’s no middle ground. It’s refined and doesn’t overwhelm. If you’re not afraid to stand out, give it a chance. I wouldn’t call it fresh, sweet, or heavy… you just have to try it.

    To be honest, it’s a delicious perfume, one of those that makes you feel divine. It works for me in all seasons, depending on how many sprays you use. It lasts well on skin with a delicate, feminine trail that everyone loves. I don’t think it’s for everyone; you have to find that specific point that hooks you, ‘you like it or you don’t’, but there’s no middle ground. It’s refined and not intrusive. If you’re not afraid of standing out from the crowd, give it a try… I wouldn’t call it fresh, sweet, or heavy; you just have to try it.

    Clean and luminous, without being fresh or citrusy. It smells like expensive soap. The ginger is very realistic; to me, it seems a bit too concentrated. I think it lacks an aquatic note to be perfect. It can be striking, but it’s a very interesting alternative to the usual citrus or fruity scents.

    I tried it in the Caribbean with lots of heat… it brought me a sense of freshness, a clean smell, like the best soap in the world. I was surprised by how long it lasts, even on very hot days. It’s a delicious scent: at first, the spicy ginger dominates, then it transforms into a clean smell, like skin straight out of the shower. I love it.

    As the name suggests, here a very sweet ginger (perhaps there’s undeclared vanilla) takes the lead; it’s luminous and playful, accompanied by peonies and a woody dry-down from the cedar. It’s a clean, soapy, and very fresh fragrance, ideal for spring and summer. Its longevity on skin is excellent and the trail is a personal delight. It could also be worn by men. It’s unique, doesn’t resemble the 2017 Twilly, and shines with its own light. In short, it’s a beautiful, very fresh creation.

    I bought it blind and didn’t like it at first, but then I came to love it. It’s ideal for hot, humid days. It’s a bomb, sophisticated and elegant, with spicy, fresh, and spiced ginger. I don’t find it sweet, and it doesn’t remind me of Twilly EDP or Eau Poivrée. Because it’s citrus-based, I was surprised by the longevity; hours pass and you still get waves of the perfume. It’s a workhorse for summer, like Light Blue, but Ginger is more feminine.

    Super lovely. It opens like a ginger bomb and transforms into a luminous, refreshing, and clean scent. Twilly Eau Ginger smells to me like freshly laundered clothes or an elegant shower. It gives a good mood and energy, with good longevity and trail for how subtle it is. It’s excellent.

  22. I just got my Twilly… simply deliiiiiii. It has surprising longevity on my skin and at times I perceive bursts of a warm, elegant, and extremely original scent. Unlike Light Blue (which I’m struggling to understand), this was instant love. To have as a summer staple!!

    I just bought it today. What a rich scent; I love the opening and the dry-down. It’s beautiful and recommended. It conveys tenderness and calm, a really good vibe. And the bottle with the white bow is gorgeous. Today was a high-temperature day and it lasted quite a while on skin, about 5 hours, which is surprising.

  24. It’s exactly as I imagined it would smell: sweet ginger and flowers. You can buy it blind without any fear 😍

  25. What a gem! Pure ginger with the tenderness of a rose, fresh and sweet in perfect balance. I feel feminine, clean, and incredibly comfortable. The longevity and sillage are top-notch. I absolutely love it!

  26. This flanker has surprised me with its freshness. The opening is intense with candied ginger that later melts into peony, becoming warm, floral, and youthful. Without the potency of the classic’s neroli or the patchouli of Eau Poivrée. A spicy ginger machine!

  27. It’s a sensory fragrance that puts you in a good mood, making you feel comfortable, warm, and energetic. I see it more for personal well-being than for making a statement. It’s similar to the original but much happier. The ginger fits perfectly with everything. I use the samples before bed and it gives me calm. That’s the function I see best in this Twilly.

    It brings me wellbeing, freshness, and joy. It opens with a powerful, super pleasant peony flower, with tonnes of ginger giving it a sparkling, youthful touch, as if taking me to a sunny day with a blue sky, surrounded by flowers, with the feeling that everything is going well. The base has a resinous and woody touch that complements it, giving it power, projection, and excellent longevity. On the first day, I thought it lacked intensity, so today I sprayed six sprays and the scent flooded the room, so much so that my husband came up on his own to tell me how good it smelled. I’m super happy with this purchase. Totally recommended for ginger lovers. I consider it unisex, slightly feminine. Definitely a hit for spring, which is just around the corner.
