Twilly dHermes | Perfume Posse 2017s pillar fragrance
Hey Hey Posse Peeps. I’m a complete sucker for a Travel Size. There, I’ve said it, and it is a truth. Back in May Cinnamon was talking about Twilly dHermes and it reminded me how much I like it, it’s bottle with the crazy little hat and the scarf. They used to do a super gorgeous boxed 15ml spray miniature. I bought a bunch and gave them out as gifts but forgot to keep one for myself. It was a big hit gift and cost next to nothing. Then when I went back to buy more, GONE! Now they still have a smaller one, not spritz and no scarf. GRRRR!
Anyway, while trawling FragranceNet (not affiliated, just trawl there a LOT) a while ago they had the 15ml tall, slim Hermés Travel Size in! Woo Hoo! Into the cart with it, and a 15ml Un Jardin Sur La Lagune. They also have spray vials for a couple of dollars. FragNet should be paying me a stipend I mention them so often.
Twilly dHermes 2017
Hermés gives these featured accords:
Ginger, Tuberose, Sandalwood
Twilly dHermes opens with a beautiful, cool but sizzling ginger. It’s sweet but not confectionary. Green but not grassy. Zesty and fun. I can see that it’s aimed at youth but it’s also sophisticated enough that all ages, and sexes can wear it. Not a huge fragrance but it does have a very pleasing amount of diffusion and heft, especially for the first 30-40 minutes.
Not long into the ride and I’m smelling some white florals taking the lead and what feels like elemi resin. The sandalwood slowly surfaces adding a creamy, vanilla-like woodsiness. In the heart we do hit a section that smells/tastes sweet like strawberries and cream lollies. This very interesting side sniff surfaces and submerges a few times before we head to a softly sweet, breathy and creamy dry down. Very late in the game I also get a smoky undercurrent, such as nice surprise. This happily pumps out for a few hours and I completely missed the moment where I stopped being able to smell Twilly dHermes.
Way too good to leave to the youth. Also, don’t spritz Twilly dHermes in a mall situation. It’s too delicate to compete with all the scratchy woods and you’ll be disappointed. You need to have some space and air around you to really enjoy what Twilly dHermes has to say.
Will you feel you’re wearing a groundbreaking, mega niche revelation? No. Will you smell fabulous? Yes. Low key lovely. The huffs you’ll be getting through the day will make you smile, anyone who gets close enough to smell you will do same. Twilly dHermes is something I could easily imagine becoming a go-to, easy breezy spritz.
