by Hermès
Charming Twilly d'Hermès presents a fresh, spicy opening dominated by bergamot, bitter orange, and ginger, with a lush floral heart of orange blossom and jasmine. The character shifts into a thickly sweet vanilla-laden base that becomes the defining aspect of the scent, especially after the first half hour. Some note it's clean and vibrant initially, but the longevity is moderate at best, with many finding the dry-down overwhelming and heavily vanilla-centered. The strong sillage and upfront spiciness can be challenging, making it feel more intense than expected. Though marketed as a modern women’s fragrance, the scent's scent profile evokes old-fashioned perfumes or old grandmothers for some, particularly due to the combination of vanilla, spice, and the unyielding sweetness.
