Twilly d'Hermès Eau Poivrée Eau de Parfum

I’ve bought my bottle of Twilly d'Hermes Eau Poivree EDP when it was launched and it’s still one of my favourites spicy rose centred perfumes from my collection. Looking at the notes listed, one would expect a simple, maybe slightly boring rose perfume. But trust me, Twilly d’Hermes Eau Poivree is far from being a predictable rose fragrance. I will mention it’s a linear fragrance but it’s blended so well, it’s so intense and rich and it has that addictive scent that makes me sniff myself continuously when I’m wearing it. As name would suggest, it’s also heavy on pink pepper. It’s a warm, balsamic, spicy, peppery, clean patchouli rose forward scent. It’s also very long lasting with moderate to strong radiance in the air and it gets me compliments from ladies often. At its core, it’s a rose perfume and I have/tested quite a few of them. But Twilly d'Hermes Eau Poivrée EDP has that uniqueness about it that makes it stand out from the rest. It doesn’t smell like Atomic Rose, or like Love Chopard, or Porpora, or Scherzo, it doesn’t smell like any of Delina, or the new Creed/Kayali, it smells different than all these other interpretations of a rose perfume. And with only three notes listed in composition, it smells very complex! For me it’s a staple for spring and fall season and I rarely hear anyone talking about it! I think Hermes gets overlooked often because it’s a classic French house with a more unconventional approach when it comes to the fragrances they release currently. Hermes doesn’t follow trends, they create classic masterpieces! Might not be the rose for everyone, because I know patchouli can be very hard for some people in perfumes, but for others like me, this is one of the best/ strongest/ addictive/richest rose centred fragrance releases by a designer brand in the last ten years! Christine Nagel created a glorious rose perfume!!

This is exquisite, lively, elegant and youthful at the same time. For some reason, I think it would suit a beautiful, quick-witted redheaded woman (think "Amy Pond" for example). It's youthful, but not childish or girly. The top notes in particular unfold in an energetic sparkle (pink pepper often gives me this feeling). I also smell something fruity, for example a fresh note of melon - the type of melon that matches the color of the bottle! Sometimes, especially when I smell close to my skin, I get a minty cherry note - maybe the rosy notes mixed with patchouli give this impression. This variation of Twilly shows its best scent in the sillage: In the heart notes, in the right climate and with the right skin chemistry, you will be surrounded by a soft, sensual cloud of many red, pink and purple flowers. Most of them are roses, but I can also sense the idea of a purple orchid and a well-made tuberose. The whole sensation is really exquisite and graceful. The problem with me are the base notes - I don't smell patchouli at this point, but clearly some kind of synthetic wood with no depth. But that's my problem - I know only a few fragrances that bloom to the end on my cold, dry skin, especially in the cold season. For me, it's better in warmer climates or in spring or summer. But I like the feel of the top and middle notes so much that I tend to spray again ... and then it blooms vibrant and rosy from the start. Really something good to increase the energy on gray days.

As irrepressibly charming as the original Twilly. The opening here is a punchy pink peppercorn, warm and slightly fruity, followed immediately by a rose that feels hypernatural the way only a rose perfume can. It brings to my mind the Technicolor heart of YSL's Paris - bold, unsubtle, and hard to resist. The drydown is soft and woody, with amber and crisp cedar tempering the bright floral burst. (If there's patchouli, it's either buried in the mix or not particularly natural, and if this is a chypre then I'm the Queen of England.) Eau Poivrée is a tad drier than the original, and its rose less conceptual than Twilly's through-the-looking-glass tuberose, but overall it isn’t a vastly different beast. They both smell like the olfactory equivalent of a wink. Pick your eyeshadow. [Edit 10/30/2023: The more I wear Eau Poivrée, the drier and woodier it feels, and the more I get the eerie sense of an '80s chypre encroaching on an otherwise modern-plastic space, like Diva or Knowing whispering through the walls of the Barbie Dream House. I still wouldn't call Eau Poivrée a proper chypre, but it does strike me now as at least somewhat attuned to its forebears, like a possessed child in a horror movie reciting the incantations of the Old Ones. Fun and flirty!]

I had such a long time to have an wow reaction. I don't know what's happening in your countries but that joke with 'corona' must end and it's up to us. Time to wake up and go back to our favorite and 'healthy' addiction, perfumes. So, I have seen many times pink pepper being introduced in perfumes. The last good one I would say it rocks the same way is Signorina EDP by S.Ferragamo, but Eau Poivree, it's just amazing! It may give sometimes a powdery vibe of these classic wet tissues but you just can't go wrong. This perfume is not only unique but a signature too with vintage touches. The opening is pure pink pepper in a way you feel like, should I stop inhaling or soon I'll have a sneezing and everybody will tell God bless you? Well, that didn't happen because earthy patchouli balances the spicy rush and a rose comforts the composition. I am not getting crazy when smelling it up close but when I get whispers of it, I really wanna hug the person and relax in his/her arms. Yes, I am thinking seriously of buying it for my mother although she is a fun of citrus/woody perfumes. Soft spicy, classy, fresh, young & mature at the same time, long lasting with signature characteristics, what else do you need?

I absolutely love this gem! You must love Patchouli to really appreciate it. It is first and foremost a Patchouli scent, and then it it is a rose scent, for me at least. I get some fruity notes, as well, oddly! The Pink pepper compliments all of the above beautifully. More than a play dough it gives me an 80's hairspray in a can or a really well scented 70's or 80's soap, luxurious edition, (although clean soapy has been mentioned), the one you buy for your mom or gran for Christmas as a kid with your pocket money! It has a undisputed Hermes top notch quality to it, and that goes for the ingredience selection and mixing of the notes! It is just an exquisite, a bit retro or vintage but a yummy gem anyway! Dry down is very creamy indolic, tuberose almost, which is the best part when the first hit of peppered Patchouli fades down a bit. I just love this as a UNISEX, too! Although lot of people would object to the idea an Alpha male rocking this! LOL! Which I get! I am a bit obsessed with it right now, so a definite LOVE from me! :) P.S. I sometimes layer this with the gorgeous ASDAAF cheapie Majd Al Sultan, which creates an amazing combo or sweet rose patchouli + smokey woodsy incense! OBSESSED!

Delicate for a peppery scent, no tingle or sizzle but still manages to be sharp and fresh without being green and outdoorsy. (Also doesn't this smell more like ginger than pepper, despite the name? There is something sour like ginger juice.) Wear time 12hrs+, sillage 4-5ft with a trail. I get more rose than pepper, not loud or sweet, more of a transparent than heavy floral. The patchouli never stands out on it's own, it adds earthiness to the pepper and gives a smoky quality. This smokiness pulls away from a green rose (rose stem and leaves and soil) towards rose incense. Has a musky dry-down with hints of pepper after ~4hrs. I don't think this is offensive but it will make an impression, one that could be unprofessional because it does get more attention than a rose perfume normally would. (You're not going to choke anybody, but others are likely to notice you). I can see a powerhouse woman wearing this with no issue but a milder woman may get a look... Also, there is a literal woodiness, like an actual table or log. In combo with the smokiness and freshness, theoretically, a gentleman could pull this off. Wear what you like, but note that others will smell the rose first or second

Wow 10/10 for performance and lasting power 👏👏👏👏 This is a flowery powdery sophisticated cosy strong perfume! what a discovery! It screams classy chic confident women The pink pepper gives it a little fresh note it was needed to freshen up the combination of rose and patchouli What i like the most about this perfume: it's not like any other perfume released in the market lately, there is no pear or peach in it, no vanilla or jasmin or orange blossom I feel like all the perfumes released latey on the market smell alike or have similarities (sweet fruity crowed pleasing easy to wear) BUT THIS IS SOOOOO DIFFERENT 😍 Let's talk about the lasting power: amazing it lasted all day on my skin and clothes and smelled it in my room when i came back at night. This is what i expect from a perfume! I bought so many perfumes lately, i have the original twilly also, but this one is my favorite so far Well done Hermes Edit: I wore this the other day, it was noticed and complimented and was asked many times what perfume i wore in just one day! It doesn't happened often

A friend of mine said that I should try Twilly eau poivrée and of course I blind bought it cause this is what I do lately...Let me tell you that I am obsessed!From the first 5 minutes you can say that it is definitely Hermès.It surely has that high quality vibe of the brand but I was a little bit disappointed cause I think that many of their perfumes are for more mature ages.My mum used to wear Hermès for years.But, in a few minutes I said OMG!Even my 6 year old daughter said that it is the most wonderful thing she has ever smelt!LOL!!!The peppery note is very pleasant; just gives an edgy twist to the whole formula and together with the flowers (and I say flowers,cause I don't smell only roses but a beautiful bouquet of different flowers) it is amazing!Now I can tell you about the best part,the dry down...It is warm,sweet (yes sweet),deep,alluring,almost sexy but at the same time "comme il faut"!When my husband commented that I smell so beautiful I knew that I have my new signature!Also great longevity and projection!

Red hot like a red hot cinnamon candy which is also sweet and can be yummy if they are your taste. I like different and dare I say this fit's the bill. This is not your normal floral or fruity scented perfume. It is bold and darling where the Pink Pepper domains for quite a while. As the Pink Pepper starts to fade some the rose shines through which is my fav scent. It is very pretty, alluring to your senses with a lovely powdery dry down with the other two scent lurking in the background for a sweet ending. This is a very long lasting scent with a great sillage so I would advice to spray sparingly to build up to your desire scent. Not a office scent, more of a night on the town scent, for it is strong fun and daring. What a great blind buy for me. Twilly d" Hermes EAU Poivre'e will go to bed with you and be there in the morning !!!

Picked up the 1.69 oz bottle today from Ross marked down for $29! Very pleasantly surprised to find Hermes at Ross! So I can definitely say the value is there! The moment I unwrapped the cellophane around the box, I get whiffs of the pink peppercorn. I noticed the whole paper box smelled like pink peppercorn but the bottle was intact. Upon spraying it, you definitely get punched with the sparkling pink peppercorn. Sparkling is such the perfect adjective for the pink peppercorn. As you keep breathing it in, you will notice a thicker, warmer, woody heart of pink and red florals. The patchouli helps the rose from becoming a dowdy, musty rose. It is very plush, modern, and mature without the weight of the 1990’s. I would recommend if you enjoy modern florals, mature fragrances that are not complemented by sweet fruits.

As someone mentioned below a true Hermes fragrance. I fell in love from the first spray and now this is my number 1 rose - elegant, romantic and feminine and I am not even a fan of pink pepper! Usually when I spot pink pepper as a main note, I am like: "Yeah, now I figured out why I can't wear this". I was so surprised when I saw only three notes, but obviously they're in the perfect mixture and perfectly balanced. It reminds me of some previous fragrance, I can't tell which one tho. Silage is really potent and longevity is about 3-4 days on fabrics. Definitely a must try for rose lovers. I see how someone are disappointed since indeed, this flanker has nothing to do with the original, however it's truly beautiful on its own and I'm sure it'll get many fans.

J'aime beaucoup les parfums de Christine Nagel mais j'ai l'impression, sauf si c'est mon nez qui me trompe, que quand ce parfum est sorti il était plus puissant sur la note poivrée et c'est cela qui m'a séduite, c'est une note "obsession" pour moi, ça vous enivre lors de l'application. J'ai demandé à Hermès ce qui c'était passé entre 2019 et 2024 quand je les ai contactés et on m'a répondu que la formulation a surement évolué (SAV). Christine Nagel a un nez incroyable , ses parfums HERMES ont vraiment une personnalité, les notes "signatures" ne doivent pas disparaître derrière les notes "à la mode" pour plaire à + de monde, elles doivent se démarquer incroyablement puisque les parfum en portent le nom (tout comme Citron Noir qui a perdu en intensité) !!

It smells exactly like Elizabeth Arden's Red Door at first and I hated it but after 20 minutes or so it settles into something more subtle and I smell a bit of the original Twilly. It's very sophisticated and warm and has a good lasting power. I would recommend it for day time, summer and spring wear. Don't judge it at first, like I did, because then it smelt like Red Door which I don't like but the end result is unique, sweet and strong but not empowering. Edit: The pepper isn't like the smell of black pepper, it's softer type of scent. I would say that if you like the original Twilly then you will enjoy it too but if you hate r strong scents then this may not be for you. It isn't overpowering but it isn't subtle either. Hope it makes sense.

I understand why this is so polarizing. While the packaging might scream chic, this is actually a very hippie scent; woody and powdery. Though the rose does give it a feminine vibe, I perceive it as dry, which adds a bucolic, "masculine" edge to it. Even though I'm not fond of patchouli, I can bare it in this one as it blends so well with the rose and the pepper. This makes me think of a dry, dry garden under the midday sun, there's no green, it's all the browns and yellows of the withered rosebushes, and the reds and oranges of the clay tiles, and the light blue of the clear skies: all this in the tenderness of a soft powdery breeze. FB worth if you can pull off a hippie/cowgirl look, Avoid if you expect a fresh or sparkling rose.

A SPICY LOVE AFFAIR! Oh. My. God. Twilly d’Hermès Eau Poivrée is the definition of sensual sophistication. That spicy, woody rose? A masterpiece. It’s like a perfectly balanced love letter to elegance with a flirty twist, classy but with a mischievous smile. And don’t even get me started on that limited edition with the heart charm! I had been daydreaming about it forever, and it was like playing hide and seek on every shopping site. But the universe finally aligned ... I spotted it at a fabulous deal and didn’t even think twice. Now it’s mine, and let me tell you, I’m absolutely smitten. That adorable charm, the warm, spicy embrace of the scent ... it’s everything I ever wanted. Hermès, you’ve done it again. - Bhavna Darira Chesan

I purchased a full bottle Eau Poivrée soon after falling in love with a sample I very quickly used up. I've never smelled the orginal Twilly, so I can't compare. This has become one of my favorite fragrances to wear. The notes are few and simple. I get a powdery old makeup compact and pencil shavings. That's it, and I absolutely adore it! It has great longevity too! 8+ hours, although I tend to overspray this beauty. update 10.26.21: I cannot get enough of this fragrance. OMG it's sooo intoxicating to my senses. Easily a top 3 for me. My mother hates it which makes it that much more interesting for me to wear, as if I'm trying to distinguish what she dislikes about it. I think it's utter perfection. I wear it just for me.

Well, I love this one. I love it very much!! On my skin, after the initial blast of peppery goodness, I get a well behaved rose and it is absolutely wonderful. There is still a hint of that pepper during the entire wear but a lot more tame and almost sweet. The patchouli is subtle and almost nonexistent (on my skin). This is lovely and I am wearing it mostly during the Spring because I find it fresh, invigorating and it evokes pink Roses to me. Longevity is not the best, 4-5 hours but who cares? It is so nice! No resemblance whatsoever with the Original Twilly as the OG has a ginger note and very flowery notes (which are sooooooooo lovely by the way). All in all, a wonderful experience and I enjoy it immensely!♥️♥️

$50 for 2.7 oz on Jomashop?! ADD TO CART IMMEDIATELY!! 🧠 Vibe & Mood Twilly Eau Poivrée is the “cool aunt in a silk scarf” kind of fragrance — playful, artistic, and a little mischievous, but also stylish and self-assured. It’s not traditionally sweet or floral; it plays with contrast: spicy vs. soft, earthy vs. bright. ⸻ 🌡️ When to Wear It • Best for: Fall, early spring, or cooler summer nights ⸻ 💬 What People Might Say • “What is that? It’s so unique.” • “You smell sophisticated but also a little dangerous in the best way.” It’s not a mass-appeal, “pretty” scent — it’s a signature scent type. If you like fragrances that feel like a statement piece rather than a background hum, Twilly Eau Poivrée is a stunner.

My new rose! This was unadulterated love at first sniff of the nozzle. First, I have an extensive list of patchouli-rose combinations that I do NOT like, but something about this one just works. You know it's right when you can't even really find words to describe the fragrance - this one appeals to me on an emotional level. It has some warmth but also clarity. I see this described as spicy but that is not my experience of it (I have a high tolerance for spicy so perhaps that it why this doesn't register as dominantly spicy). The rose floats about in a pretty floral way but joins up with the patchouli and some musk (?) to make it a bit more carnal. I can see loving this one for a very long time.

I thought the pepper note faded too quickly but four hours after spraying my 5-year-old said she felt like there was a "spicy smell that goes down to my mouth." So maybe that was just me going nose blind. An hour later the 5-year-old got fresh flowers, so that's probably closer to the real lifespan of the pepper note. I love this scent. I found it a dynamic spicy, woody, floral scent that was interesting without being avant-garde. It's mature and bold without being stuffy or offensive. I can imagine myself wearing this on a day when I have Big Work Meeting to pump myself up. This is easy to overspray, for professional settings I wouldn't use more than 1-2 spritzes.
