Twirl

Some time ago, I gave "Twirl" a go at the perfume counter and I didn't think much of it. Today I asked for a spritz again and I don't know if it is the hot sunnier weather, but it did not disappoint in its charm or composition. A well composed top tier, mellowing into those white floral notes which interplayed beautifully with the radiating top, only to settle down into that peppy musky macaroon scent for a clean, well adjusted undertow. Definitely for hot weather and that attractive bottle with those golden spheres darting prisms of light is a keeper. "Twirl" is woman's fragrance full of effervescence, yes we all do twirl in our best dress, or when we are most pleased and no one else is watching. A lovely, enigmatic fragrance with a joyful vibe.

LOVE, Love, love!! This is such a fun, flirty, floral. I do have to say that I prefer more floral scents than overly fruity scents so if you prefer more fruity scents, you may not like this. It lasts all day on me but every time I catch a whiff of it throughout the day, it smells different..not in a bad way though. It smells sooo good every time. I don't know if this happens to anyone else but I think it's interesting. This has been my go to perfume when I'm getting ready in the morning.

I really love Twirl, I can't understand the negative reviews at all!! This perfume is so pretty & sparkling , very festive scent love wearing this for occasions like New Years or birthdays because the fresh aquatic sparkling champagne sets the tone for a night on the town! Must always have this one in my collection, a little goes a long way! I get tons of compliments on how lovely I smell. Each time I put this on I know I'm bound to have a fun night out!

I received a sample of this in a Birchbox subscription and LOVED it immediately! I enjoy the notes of jasmine & magnolia, and what's funny is I also detect something that smells like freshly-sharpened pencils. I guess that's a very specific "woodsy" smell, but I adore it! I'm always a sucker for cute packaging, too. It is fairly light on the skin, which I like because I don't like to constantly be walking in a cloud of my own perfume.

I gave Twirl a whirl, and I found it was a pearl! It's gorgeous! Sweet and delectable white flowers, juicy sweet berries, watermelon and musk, with a lovely dewy feel, and a delicious sweet cakey dry-down. Very sensual. Very elegant and feminine. And the compliments I get! It's terrific. I love Twirl! What a great name! Fun and playful, yet it has class. Really nice.

I love love loooooovvvve this fragrance!!! I got a sample of it for Christmas earlier this year.The fruitiness of the scent is is intense but not over powering. This definetly a fragrance I would recommend to anyone & I would want to purchase for myself =)

omg! I got a sample of the perfume recently and all I can say is FABULOUS!!!!! It stays for hours on my skin. I ́m listing it now as a future buy. Better wear this fragrance at night. You will not get unoticed. =)

Smells like apples and pencils, I honestly love it for some strange reason. Gorgeous bottle nevertheless.

I just bought a 1.7 oz for $20 at Marshall's saved $40!!! Love this scent!!!

This fragrance is one of the best perfumes I've ever smelled. :)

Great sillage! Loads of compliments...simple but effective.

Yes, I have to say that I agree with what everyone says here that it's generic but not in a bad way, which I was sort of anticipating. It's light, and super duper citrusy on me. I get orange blossom like crazy, which I love. What seperates this perfume IMO from most others that it reminds me of, is the ozonic quality. This has a little bit of a sticky, grassy bite in there, similar to Chance Eau Tendre by Chanel and Daisy by Marc Jacobs, both favourites of mine. This is definitely not a special occasion perfume, but great for everyday wear and situations when you don't want heavy sillage. Also, the site says that it is an EDT (it smells like one for sure) but it is an Eau de Parfum, you can see it even in one of the images on this page

People are taking issue with Twirl on the grounds that they find it generic, smelling like everything else. While I'm not saying it's original, I think it resembles several specific fragrances, namely, those in the Clean brand. It smells very much like Clean Summer Escape to me, as well as others in that line. Also DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom. I get a lot of citrus, which isn't listed in the accords for Twirl, but it's there on my skin. The floral notes are more subtle. It's definitely squeaky clean, and as others have said, it's non-offensive. It's a good office fragrance, also well-suited for dining out during the day.

I've almost used up my manufacturer's sample vial, so time to review. I like this scent, but it's not special enough for me to love it. It's a pleasant, fruity sweet scent. I doubt anyone would be offended by this scent, so it would be very safe for work or gifting. It's not particularly strong or lasting, but it will create a nice little cloud of refreshing scent around you. Watermelon and musk stand out the most to me, and I really have a hard time finding the white florals in this. I'm glad I was able to test it, but I don't have to have it.

I actually enjoy this scent. (A lot of people are giving it negative reviews) But I think its wonderful. I love all the notes, I love the sweetness to it, and how it just blends so well with my skin. I feel the warmth of it all around me when I wear it. I don't mind it when people get close, because I know they're thinking how yummy it smells. :)

I am surprised by this scent because Kate Spade is usually targeted for older ladies who are married to CEO men that play golf on the weekends. This scent is really fruity with a slight hint of musk that makes me feel like I'm young yet sophisticated. I like it a lot.

Picked this up at the local drug store for $20 and I really like it. Very floral on me and it does last a few hours before having to reapply more. The sweet notes unfortunately are non-exsistant for me but all in all this will make a wonderful evening summer scent.

I love this scent! It gives you a classy and confident feel yet sexy and flirty at the same time. I received the giftset for Christmas and the lotion has a great powerful long lasting scent unlike many other perfume lotions. LOVE IT! :)

I received this from my husband for Christmas a couple years ago. I went through it very fast because I had to use so much for it to last. I enjoyed the scent; it was a floral, fruity, fun scent. Just wish it had better longevity.

i smell a little spearment in this...a liiitle like tommy girl...however it changes...it dries down to an orangey floral...sweet but not in a sugary way..in a sweet pretty flower type fo way. its very pretty...if ur into florals.

Twirl smells just like Harajuku Lovers Lil Angel to me. Since I really LOVE Lil Angel and it only comes in a 1oz I may have to get me a bottle of Twirl as a substitute. I do really like Twirls bottle as well. : )

I finally got Twirl! Marsh had the 3.4 oz so I just gave in. I LOVE the bottle and the fragrance is just delicious! Mmmmmmmmmmmm! So psyched! : )

I FINALLY found Twirl @ T J M A X X! 32.99 I think for a 1.7oz set. I want a 1.7oz for 20 bucks. Haha! I'll keep looking. : )

Weak .....very weak.if it were a drink at a bar you would probably give it back to the bartender and demand more alcohol!

Generic, but not offensive. Good for working in an office.

eh. I have seen it around the block before.

This is just unremarkable and ordinary. It's a pleasant, everyday fruity floral that smells like so many other inoffensive fruity florals. I can't pick out any of the individual notes. I get a slight impression of honey, but it's not even listed. On me there is not much projection or longevity. It's a skin scent almost right away, about the strength of a body spray. The bottle is cute, though, if packaging is important to you. I'm a big fan of Kate Spade perfumes, and fruity floral is my thing. While I will use this up because it's generic and not at all off-putting, it's nothing special. It would not be something I'd reach for over my other perfumes. I blind-bought this at TJ Maxx because I had never smelled it, and Kate Spade has some truly gorgeous scents. Twirl reminds me of a body spray or a perfume that Bebe might put out. I like several of the Bebe fragrances, for example, but I don't love any of them, and I tend to use them as a dumb reach like a body spray. That's kind of how I feel about this-- it's just okay, and I'd use it in a pinch, but I will not repurchase, and it might fall victim to a purging of my collection sometime in the future. UPDATE: After a few weeks of wear, this has REALLY grown on me! The performance is still quite poor, so I won't repurchase because of that, but the opening notes are beautiful. I get apple and a little bit of honey backed with some faint white flowers (not overpowering or cloying). I still spray like a body spray due to the poor performance. What rubs off on my clothing tends to last, though, so you might get another couple of hours from spraying your shirt. If the performance were better, this would be come a staple for me. It's an easy dumb reach that will work for any occasion (except maybe not sexy enough for date night).

I've owned a bottle of this for about six months,and for some reason,I had not worn it,until today.granted,I've been accumulating new scents ,and I think this one got shuffled around a bit.i decided to wear it today,because of all the reviews saying it was "inoffensive" and work safe. I totally agree,it is a nice,nondescript fruity floral,with moderate sillage,and longevity.Funny thing is,as soon as I got to work,my boss started sneezing! He claims to have allergies and perhaps he does,but I wear scent to work everyday,and so far only two have made him sneeze,this one and Halloween by Jesus Del Pozo.I looked up the notes to both,and they both contain magnolia,so perhaps that is the culprit! Anyway,I honestly love this scent! It's fruity,but not sickeningly sweet,floral without smelling like a funeral parlor or flower shop.I'll admit,I have many fruity florals in my wardrobe,but this one is a winner as it sticks around fairly well,and with all my testing of scents lately,it's one of the few I haven't been dying to change once the workday is over.So often lately,I just wanna come home and change,and put on something,stronger or sweeter or less sweet,whatever,just to get away from whatever I had on.But not today,I cannot get enough of this! Again,I think it's the magnolia,it's one of my favorite notes,and I think it's done very well here. So,overall,it's a nice,safe fruity floral,and that's just the way I like it!

To my nose, Kate Spade TWIRL is deeply and multidimensionally redundant. That's because it was drawn from the vast vat of Elizabeth Arden juice containing "such notes" as the marketers wish to claim in their jingles and blurbs. Ultra "abstract" fruity-floral fragrances one and all, there's as much cause for saying that they contain enriched uranium as "such notes as pink watermelon, blackberry and red currant, orange blossom, star jasmine, tiare flower and magnolia, glittering musk and French cookies (Macaroon)." Some people, obviously of hearty constitution, are able to wear these compositions well and even enjoy their squeaky shampoo quality and blob-like expansive sillage. I, however, having apparently been cursed with ultra-sensitive nerve endings, tend to find these synthetic EA soups somewhat annoying and at best banal. In the worst cases, they expand into major scrubbers over the course of a wear. What good are great longevity and huge sillage, if they make you feel like Alex in "A Clockwork Orange" as Beethoven's Ninth is pumped into his flat? I ask most sincerely. Alas, TWIRL falls just over the "must scrub" line, as evidenced by the fact that I have no intention whatsoever of finishing even this small sample vial. Enjoy it, if you can. I'm afraid I'll have to pass.

Twirl seems to want to capitalize on a younger clientele's penchant for loud fruity scents, at the same time trying to retain Kate Spade's aesthetic of mature chic. Does it succeed? You'd have to ask Spade's sales department, but for my taste, it lacks a bit of personality. Like the bottle, it's pretty, with a touch of whimsy, but not very stylish or sophisticated. It's nice. A touch of the traditional, a touch of the modern. It's for a young girl who wants to play it safe. She indulges herself, but only with restraint. It's free from anything sexy or enticing. Young, but mature. Something your mother would pick out for you.

The only reasons that I bought this perfume were 1) the bottle is adorable and 2) i kept seeing it at marshalls / tj maxx over and over and the price eventually decreased to 10 dollars for 1fl. I sprayed it in the car after I bought it and I hated it, but when I sprayed it on my body I realized it wasn't so bad. It reminds me of Aqua Allegoria Tiare Mimosa, which I like much better. I probably won't give it away but I definitely won't buy it again or recommend it to anyone else. Also, the scent does not fizz or sparkle in my opinion.

Not the perfume for me. Sweet fruity floral, I seem to be too old or perhaps my personality is just too sarcastic for this. I could see it in a high school or college aged woman who could be described as outgoing and bubbly. The first time I tried it I had to scrub it off but I was crazy hormonal at the time and it turned nasty-sweet on me. Tried it again and it is much more tolerable with more of a floral tone to it, but still, just, no.

I tried this on and found it really harsh. There is definitely something that blasted the back of my sinuses. Even after an hour or so the scent just kind of hung out on my skin without doing anything pleasant. I couldn't get into it. I wanted to like it being a fan of the brand in general, but this was not for me. A friend of mine liked it and purchased the gift set though, so I'm curious to see how it wears on her.

It's watery and sweet, just like a summer cocktail. No spillage on me it just sits there like someone spilled a mixed drink on my arm. It reminds me of someone's crazy aunt embarrassingly dancing around with confetti in her hair with a mixed drink spilled on her. In Twirl's defense it does last a long time. However, if it's the watermelon your interested in I preferred D&G Anthology L`Imperatrice 3.

Twirl failed in every possible way to capture my interest. The predominantly watermelon & magnolia fragrance is nice, but it's just not nice enough and is going to have to go on my Dislike list. It's badly in need of some depth, some musk or woods, something, anything, to save it from being on par with a Calgon body mist from Walgreens. Very pretty bottle, but the juice inside doesn't match.

I just blind purchased this perfume. It reminds me of Baby Doll by YSL even the package and the cap look like the Baby Doll. The scent is very similar as well, it's just a bit less citrus and rather more floral. Since I used to love Baby Doll when I was in early 20s, I don't dislike Twirl, but I'd say the scent is too ordinary and indistinct from lots of other perfumes in the market.

Have this in the small vial sample and all I can say is that this has very poor longevity. The initial spray gives me lots of floral-fruity ( mostly the Berry)and then fades to nothing in about an hour. Very generic and common, something safe to wear without annoying someone sitting close to you but, if you're expecting it to last at least half a day, think again..

Ditto on claredelune's review. Shocker ! Very average , def not what my nose was anticipating. I was expecting a big time pink juicy powder puff smell from her akin to Viva la Juicy maybe or something to really knock your socks off. All I got was a watery , alcoholish , tempered fruity smell. I'm sad :( What happened Kate ?

A very fresh smelling fragrance, I do smell the red current very strongly but not much of the magnolia. The scent does not last long on the skin and really sits close so you have to put your nose to the skin to smell it. A good fragrance if you don't like anything very stong. The fragrance does smell fresh and a bit soapy.

THE LISTED NOTES ARE RIDICULOUS! To say that this fragrance has Watermelon Or Candy Notes, is laughable. No blackberry, candy notes, watermelon, there is nothing sweet about this fragrance at all. AT ALL. Smells like fresh laundry soap, and there is something annoying about it. I don't like it at all.

Pretty bottle but there is a sharp note that gives me a headache from start to finish. One of those that I had to scrub off (but I really tried to keep it in case it morphed into something softer). One spray on me Sillage: about a foot Longevity: don't know - had to scrub it off Rating: 1/5

I love the bottle. That's where the love ends. This smelled typical, boring and unmemorable to me. Nothing about this stood out to me as being the least bit special. Had they made a fragrance to match the bottle, they would have had a home run. Very disappointing!

Utterly unoriginal. Citrus dries down to a powdery musk in about 60 seconds. Smells like any old drugstore musk. Nice, but not energetic, and completely boring. Smells like a child's fragrance. Gave it to my 16-yo niece.

Husband bought as a gift. Instant headache and sneezing! Uggh! Wanted to like this since it was a gift, but had to give it away. Happy smelling! :)

what a cute lil' package so i thought...glad i tested it before buying. watered down floral; almost as the scent is barely there, diluted much?

Kate Spade Twirl borders on being youthful and geriatric. It's musky, refreshing, and far to NICE. Nice is a quality I might look for in a coworker or a neighbor but I prefer my fragrances is to be a bit untamed. On my first initial whiff of this perfume all I got was orange blossom and soap. A classic but insanely boring combination. On further inspection I do notice a light watered down berry note. Almost like blackberries in an ice bath. It sounds delicious but soon as you bite into those sweet little fruits you realize they're water logged. Very disappointing. There is something that momentarily reminds me of Davidoff's Cool Water. Perhaps it's the watermelon. Watermelon is the most enjoyable thing about this perfume for me. It gives Twirl it's refreshing summer cocktail affect. I should say that I like my cocktails a bit stronger than this... In the base I mostly smell citrus and white florals. The dry down is all musk, all the time. It's white floral musk bomb at the end that is giving this scent that borderline grandma feel. Twirl lacks all the whimsy that the bottle offers. Having said all this, it's not to say that I wouldn't recommend this fragrance to someone else. In fact, I have a dear friend who has trouble with perfumes who I think would enjoy the clean citrus notes of Twirl. It would also work well in an office environment. It's just not for me. I don't work in an office and I'm not that nice;)

I've never tried any Kate spade scents that I can remember but i blind bought this at marshalls the other day at a really good deal $16.99 for the 100ml bottle. When I got home to test it I wrote it off as just a fruity floral, which has not been my thing btw, they always seem to turn sour on me or be too sharp or have a floral note that is too strong. Ok so I sprayed this and was basically like nope not for me. So today a few days later I had the urge to just spray this again. I sprayed my wrist, I like the way it sprays by the way, I let it settle and wow a totally different story. So I love the note peony flower and though this contains no peony the combination of notes smells like a pure soft peony note. Fresh, clean, subtle but oh so nice so I think I'm changing my mind on this. Yummm I'm smelling it now softly on my wrist such a soft subtle quality delicate floral scent. Wow what a deal I got and the like of it snuck up on me. I loved the box and bottle btw so I'm so happy I'm keeping it now!! Edit: I know now what this reminds me of, L'aquarossa edt by Fendi but without the super strong floral note but it gives off the same scent as the peony in that one but more subdued. I wanted to add also, this gives me fall/winter fruity floral vibes. Maybe its the red currant and blackberry notes that give it winter and holiday vibes for me!!

This may be my second perhaps third review in this but when I came across it again it brought me back so many memories so naturally I jump on here to leave a new updated opinion:) first-this is BEAUTIFUL! When I say this to me is like a sparkling fragrance, if that doesn’t resonate with you than maybe this way will-I look at Marc Jacobs Daisy as a sparkling fragrance. It has that same sophistication to it, without being snobby. I love this, I would wear it alll the time if I had any sprays left in any of my bottles lol- I’m sure I can’t be the only bottle hoarder that even when it has one spray, or any liquid at all I keep it, and even after it’s bone dry, often if it’s one of my favourites I will keep the bottle lol it is office safe in small doses, not a like ten spray on body few sprays on clothes and then spray in hair etc etc like I normally do lol this is more spritz in the wrist, behind ears, inner elbow, behind the knee and smidge in hair and not oner kill on the sprays as you go because it easily goes from safe to whoa nelly too much!! Haha

Boy, this was SO not what I expected. I was expecting something 'Kate Spade-y,' along the lines of the new Coach perfume--pretty, feminine, innocuous. The first spray was that--fruity, floral, pretty, but guess what I got after that wore off--MUSK BOMB!! Yes! a big fat musk bomb and I'm in total shock. To me, the words "Kate Spade" and "musk" shouldn't even be in the same sentence never mind the same perfume! This is such a surprise and a serious mismatch IMHO. Nothing musky should've come out of that cute, round, poofy, girly, bottle, but it did and in a big way with musk glands-a-stinkin' and I love musk, it just doesn't belong in Twirl. This should've been a twirly, girly, prissy frag like you'd expect from an ultra twirly, girly, prissy princess like Spade. It's gonna take me a while to recover from this mind (nose) blower!

When you open the box it says "She had a cocktail in hand and confetti in her hair". I was so jazzed to get this perfume because I thought it got me. I love when perfumes come on bright and sparkling. I love when they fizz at my nose like I was sipping some champagne on New Years Eve. Nope. When I spray it my initial thoughts are of laundry soap. Like ERA, not quite cheap but not quite Tide. There is an undercurrant (Pun intended!) of flat fruits that get jumbled up in a hot potpourri mess. Don't get me wrong. I don't HATE this perfume but I had some seriously high hopes for it and they were maliciously dashed. Just another perfume to wear to work until it runs out. Blerg.
