Tutti Twilly d'Hermès

Alright - after over a month of having this - I can finally conclude: it is a love! Here's why... At first, my nose was not ready for the note perfect, photorealistic lychee to mingle with a ginger flower accord. Ginger flower, is quite different to the zesty and zingy scent of ginger (the root). The flower has a gel like liquid which can be squeezed out of it. To my luck, I have ginger flowers growing all around my garden as my land lady is very fond of the odd shaped flowers (a little to phallic in shape for my liking, but us women do like to see those shapes sometimes and perhaps she's growing them in her old age for the same reason haha! I shall check my silly sense of humour at the door!). When this gel like substance is squeezed out of the flower, it has a very abstract and odd scent which is both sweet but musky - it's weird! But it's one of those scents that you keep sniffing more and more out of intrigue. After I familiarised myself with ginger flowers, I began to understand this perfume a little bit better. I also think, ginger flower (unlike ginger root) behaves differently on each persons skin chem - which is very sad for those who cannot jive with it (you lot are the ones perceiving cat pee and sweaty pits). Now, to the perfume. When you first spray this you get a BLAST of lychee. But not just lychee, I personally get a little bit of raw mango, guava, and papaya too! The lychee is the most prominent of them all. It is bright, neon and electric! Tart, juicy and realistic lychees that had been refrigerated! Beautiful. It's the exact colour of the bottle. As it begins to dry down is when it gets tricky for some. The ginger flower begins to emerge. And it becomes kind of pulp like. Think of lychee that's in a can with sugar syrup - and you blend it without taking the lychee out and create a lychee pulp and accidentally - some ginger flowers jump in to the concoction (I am aware this is a strange image but bear with me). In this gingery-lychee pulp, the guava and raw mango start having a tug of war with the ginger flower for prominence. You can quite literally see different victors on different days, based on how many sprays and time of day you wore. It still never behaves the same, twice in a row. It remains a chameleon. But I do not understand why Hermes thougth it was wise to release a quintisentially summer time fragrance at the tail end of summer? Had they released this at the end of spring - I am certain more people would have loved this. To me, luckily, there is no cat pee/sweaty pits. But I do get lychee-ginger pulp which is on a stove or under the heat of the sun, which slowly cooks and then almost reach a hard toffee like consistency - and no it is not burnt either. Beautiful work of art by Christine Nagel - a fruity-floral that is unlike any other in its genre. Hermes has done it, again!

Tutti Twilly d’Hermes seems to be a very polarising scent. As a huge fan of Twilly Eau Poivree I was intrigued so I decided to get an official 2 ml sample with a recent Hermes order. The opening is absolutely beautiful. Zingy, watery, fresh, uplifting and fruity in a very tropical way. The litchy note is very intense. I love very much the energising opening. After about 10 minutes it transforms a bit, moving into a sweet musky, gingery direction. All the brightness of the opening is gone, but it’s nonetheless pretty. It stays like this until 6-7 hours later when it starts becoming a skin scent and disappears. Luckily, I don’t get the cat urine references that lots of people mention in the comments below. At least not during the winter temperatures! For me it’s a very youthful, exuberant, colourful, exotic type of scent. I am not saying that those comments are not valid, everyone experiences fragrances differently, but I seem to be in the fortunate group whose noses don’t detect that aspect! It won’t be a full bottle for me at the moment because the way I see Twilly Tutti d’Hermes is more as a delightful spring/early summer fragrance. I will keep an eye on it and if I can get it during springtime on a good deal, I’ll get a bottle for sure. I really like it! As a first impression, performance seems to be fairly moderate, noting outstanding, but it’s not the kind of scent without substance. It is rather charming and elegant, not common or boring. I will revisit my sample as the spring approaches and the temperatures are rising before pulling the trigger on buying a full bottle. Will update.

I've read all the reviews here and wanted to test this scent. This scent turned out very nice on my skin when I tested at the Hermes beauty boutique. It's an exotic scent with lychee and ginger flower notes, and yes this combo might be little bit messy. I could understand why people told this scent smell like cat urine. In the real life, lychee has strong smell and ginger flower also. If you has chance to smell the ginger flowers, you should try. It has little bit fragrant smells like cat urine and middle note of this scent is full note with ginger flower combine with little bit alcoholic lychee note (sometimes too alcoholic like lychee note in Chloe EDP and Delina Exclusifs) also the powdery muskiness from the base. That's reason why I called it "messy perfume". At the end, I still got it because they were on promotion of the mall called Takashimaya in Vietnam and I scored some points for future leather goods buying at Hermes Vietnam boutique, also I bought it cause of the packaging. Tutti Twilly is one of my most favorite packaging from Hermes. I'm happy and no regrets even some reviews made didn't want to buy at the beginining. My scores: Scent: 8/10 Longevity: 7/10 (nearly 6 hours) Sillage: 7/10

Tutti Twilly is... unusual. As soon as I sprayed it I loved it - an immediate lychee bomb, and since lychee is one of my favourite notes/scents, it's not surprising that I was enamoured by it at once. The ginger is there, but its very subtle in my opinion. The musk is also there, but it is a very clean musk and I don't understand all the armpit/kitty litter/cat pee comments, although I have never owned cats so I suppose I don't know what those last two smell like. I expect, therefore, this is a perfume that is very dependent on body chemistry. Try and test it on the skin and see how it performs over the next few hours instead of just a quick sniff on tester paper (this is, of course, good advice for all fragrances, but it's particularly important for this one). It has a powdery drydown, and that coupled with the juicy fruit top notes make this seem slightly childish, a little like something a teenager would wear, but the musk gives it a bite that just manages to elevate it above teenage body sprays. Even if it does smell a little like a body spray, it's the expensive sort that the rich popular girl would wear and you'd look on in envy with your supermarket £2 sprays.

I am so surprised by this perfume, we came a long ride but now I love it. I was so excited when it was first launched but I was disappointed because I loved the opening but than it turned into a scent reminiscent of the room after gym class...very unpleasant and sweaty. I tried it again a few months later, still same dirty scent on the dry down, this was during winter. I tried it today again out of curiosity and I don't know if it's the scent that has changed or my perception of it but it bloomed to be a beautiful composition. I sprayed it on my skin and it smells even better on me! The opening is the same but the dry down I get something a bit bitter and herbal reminds me of the grapefruit peel with ginger and clean white florals in the background that reminds me of the OG Twilly. The deep dry down is somewhat musky but more powdery and even a hint of woody like sandalwood on my skin. It smells elegant and refined but a little bit eclectic. This scent suits my personality so well. If it will stay the same during the colder months this could be my new signature scent.

agree with 90sbanana below, wanna praise Christine for giving us sth new in the market, a lot of new releases in September but this is definitely a unique one like her latest release for men (H24) which is super controversial haha... no wonder why designers love to release sth safe (Narciso, Armani My Way, Givenchy, Dior...) This is a real lychee perfume, me as an Asian we buy and eat lychee every year and the opening shocked me I know how the REAL lychee smells like this is not a syrupy sickly sweet lychee but rather a real and juicy one!!! it emerges with the signature twilly ginger accord, the transition is very smooth lychee stepped back strength up the sweetness instead of too much spiciness well done! Although I quite like this perfume I'd add a bit more floral into it, I found it too spicy for me hahah Tutti Twilly is a fun and young perfume yet not too innocent or childish anyone can pull this off easily ! Cheers!!

This is so good! For me actually. I’ m surprised no body mentioned: this is cassis, cinnamon combination at first. That’s why is so controversial. Then you have waxy, buttery tuberose, like in original with those fruity, cassis, may be lychee twist. At the end, on my skin, I have patchouli, very nice and transparent musky patchouli. That’s is it! It’s like Calyx met a little bit of Jean Paul Gaultier, only without those body sensuality, Tutti is more fresh - vibrant. And I love it. It’s very natural, strong at first, but after 20 min. verry fresh fragrance. For me it’s ideal for winter and I cannot wait till spring. It will shining. I love energetic, intelligent fragrances made for fun not only for elegance. It fits very well casual elegance tho, sneakers, jeans, but also a nice skirt. Yeah it’s kinda unusual fragrance, if you like it. And think what you want, this is only an opinion😃

This is amazing. The lychee really stands out. Lychee is one of my favorite fruits so smelling it in a fragrance is very enjoyable. I also get hints of jasmine though it's not listed as a note. It smells slightly like tea because of the jasmine in the best way. Reminds me of getting boba with my sister at a nearby shop. Got a free sample for my older sister, waiting till she visits so I can give it to her. Sprayed it on just to see if it's nice. It is. It leans too feminine for me to wear it but this is beautiful. I would fall head over heels in love for any woman wearing this. I'm going to go buy a full bottle so I can gift it to my next girlfriend. It would be interesting to try layering with an ambroxan based men's fragrance to bring it to the masculine side. This is too good. If you're a woman, go try this asap. If you're a guy, get it for your girl.

This one is a chameleon. Not in a complicaed way at all... I mean, it changes depending on the day, the place and time!! The day I got it, I absolutely hated it. It smelled artificial and nauseating. I let it sit for a day or two. Picked it again and it smelled light, airy, super tart and fresh. Weird. Fast forward to today, where its very musky and floral... What on earth is happening?! Where did the lychee go :( I panicked and sprayed it again on my husband, and there it was. Lychee in all its glory, bright and beaming! I've never experienced this the same way twice (yet) at least. What a whirlwind it's been. This will definitely get an updated review in time to come :P

I simply cannot believe the bad reviews. I smelled this and fell in love instantly. It is very similar to Ginger Twilly, but with added lychee and less of a shower clean feel. It's definitely a more youthful version of that. The bottle is adorable, with white cap, but with a pink-red juice and ribbon. Feminine, classy, elegant and playful at the same time. Moderate silage and lasting power. Price : $193 plus tax (13%) for 85ml. In my opinion, worth it. Try before you buy, I've seen so many negative reviews that probably it reacts in different ways with different skin. For me it's delightful.

This is what I imagine Zara Larsson’s Midnight Sun smells like. This is so fresh and tropical, perfect for summer days when you want to feel most energized. Strong litchi opening at first whiff, then it dries down to what I imagine is a clean laundry from a luxury hotel. I expected this to be as juvenile as the Victoria Secret fragrances I had as a teen, but the dry down on this one weirdly smells sooooo luxurious. If it weren’t overpriced I’d wear this forever and spray it all over my sheets.

I love this. Saw the cute bottle when I was on summer holiday and just had to try it, and HAD TO buy it It smells exactly how the bottles look: fruity, summery and fun! After I read the comments in here I started worrying that it smelled like cat pee to other people, but I've asked quite a few people what they think, and every one has said that it's a sweet, tart beachy vibe, absolutely no cat pee. I even got a compliment from a stranger while waiting for the bus. I'm very happy with it👌🏻

I actually really enjoy this. I got a sample when i bought another. Sprayed it once and didn't think it was all that nice. But then found myself going back to respray so I bought it in 30ml. I've worn it quite a bit since. I have recieved compliments and someone even asked me where I got it from ! Then they saw the price and their opinion changed xD. I don't really know how to describe the smell. All i know is i don't have anything like this nor have i ever smelt anything like this.

Wow, this seems to be so polarizing. On me, the lychee is definitely prominent and rather realistic - it's the full fruit, peel and all. The ginger becomes more prominent as it dries down, at first it's zingy and citrusy, in the drydown, it becomes more woody and peppery. It's long lasting, especially on clothes, and projects a bit. I don't get any urine or BO notes, thankfully. All in all, I really like it, it has a lot more character than the average fruity freshie.

In my opinion, this fragrance take balls to wear, the opening comes with an overdose of sweetness that can be nauseating at first, but as it settles becomes beautiful. This fragrance is really long lasting has a great protection and sillage. When you purchase this fragrance because of the intensity it is advisable you don’t spray much of it in order not feel nauseous. Definitely buying it again. I love itttt. 🥰

New obsession with ginger unlocked. This scent is somewhere between eau poivre and eau ginger. Eau ginger is more soapy and light...this one is more ginger and gormand. Love it . Superb longevity and projection. Gingery, spicy and sweet. Juicy, fruity and mouthwatering. I gotte buy one first chance I get. Keep the flankers comming from Twilly. They are all adorable. Christine Nagel FTW

I usually stay away from fruity scents but everything about this perfume makes me sooo happy, the bottle, the colours, the fragrance! Even the name! Edit: Wtf. It smells spicy and sour on my skin, horrible. And I bought a big bottle.. If anybody is interested in buying it please contact me. Please, I don't want to see this disappointment anymore.

I love it, but not for everyday use. In my opinion, it's the best lychee scent I have ever smelled, very unique, sweet and just radiating fun! However overtime it dries down to smell a bit weird and 'artificial like'. It's very unique and lovely just not my everyday signature. Don't blind buy but If you are at your local perfumery give it a try!

Such a beautiful and wholesome lychee fragrance! I fell in love upon first sniff! The fruitiness and sweetness are just right. Not too much that makes it cloying, but not too little that makes it lackluster. I have no idea how Hermès came up with this lovely fragrance but wow... Full bottle worthy for sure, only that it's so expensive!!

Sampled in the duty free and whoa! What an atypical scent for a designer, I love it! I had a strong childhood association, maybe hard candy, or cough drops, but in the best way. Spicy fruity woody goodness on my skin. Going to buy a fb. I agree that it’s very unusual and probably polarizing. I’m ok with that.
