Mademoiselle Twist

Every now and then you come across a fragrance that punches well above its price point. As someone who has been collecting and studying perfumes for over a decade, I’ve learned that what makes a fragrance special isn’t just an attractive note pyramid. It’s the harmony between those notes. A perfume can feature beautiful ingredients on paper and still feel rough or unbalanced in practice. Mademoiselle Twist is one of those pleasant surprises. To my nose, it is remarkably close to Dior Poison Girl. The biggest differences are that Mademoiselle Twist remains slightly brighter and more citrus-forward, with a softer almond accord in the drydown. It is also a bit less complex, but considering the price difference, that’s hardly a criticism. The opening is sparkling and citrusy, with a lively effervescence enhanced by the pepper. That subtle spicy kick adds an almost gourmand quality right from the start. As it develops, the blackcurrant, vanilla, and praline become increasingly noticeable, creating a deliciously smooth sweetness without becoming heavy. One aspect I particularly enjoy is its creamy texture. The almond accord never turns bitter or marzipan-like. At times, it even reminds me of a creamy coconut and vanilla accord with nutty nuances, making it feel comforting yet elegant. The bottle is charming. It isn’t particularly luxurious, but it’s tasteful and avoids looking cheap or overdesigned. I see this as a true year-round fragrance. It has enough freshness for warmer weather while still offering the cozy sweetness you crave in cooler temperatures. I’m currently wearing it in 25C weather, where it transforms into a radiant citrus vanilla. If you enjoy Poison Girl but don’t mind sacrificing a little complexity in exchange for excellent value, Mademoiselle Twist is absolutely worth discovering.

Ok...(sniff sniff)..Uh huh...(sniff sniff sniiiiiff)...Not bad but 🤔 ...Meh. 🥱 It's sweet and smells a tiny bit like old milk but not in a terrible way, just milk thinking about turning mixed with a kind of generic🪻floral accord that's sweet-ish. 😐 I'm really not impressed but it might be worth wearing. Maybe I just need to give it another chance as an individual scent all over instead of just my arm. EDIT: It has been over an hour of constant rechecking and huffing my arm and it's starting to get better, by a lot. My perception is no longer of turning milk but of how WARMED MILK smells and the florals blend so much better now. Ok fine 🙄 I like it. 😏 Like a lot! This was a blind buy from Amazon & authentic but it's legit brown. My bottle is clear with maroon/brown fluid. Visually unappealing. The silver decoration around the cap is the quality of a Walmart knock off. At least the lettering stays on. Would it really cost that much to manufacture the grooves a little deeper and the surface more gem-shaped with a facet or two? These 2 simple reasons is why this perfume isn't worth more. Mauboussin seems to be making some serious design shortcuts. 6.5/10 Needs time to mature but fantastic when it does. 8/10 Now that it's matured a little and I love wearing it. 🥰

Just received it and wow! that’s a really nice perfume! Reminds Poison Girl indeed but with more citrus and less almonds. The scent is really lux i mean not cheap at all , and keep in mind I haven’t even yet let it sit! I heard one blogger described it as a summer scent with a twist -that’s exactly it! But I’d add that i think it’s all year round scent, which will show different angles in different weather. Currently testing it in +27 C and it’s really beautifully citrusy vanilla sweet (not too sweet or cloying for me though) I own 7 Mauboussin perfumes and i must admit I really love this house! All the fragrances are of a high quality and i like all of them, and some are soo good even addictive! The quality is like lux perfumes , but the price...just makes me happy :) To sum up I’m very glad I did blind bought Mademoiselle twist despite of negative reviews (which i personally disagree now when I’m owning the frag) ! I don’t think it’s very original nowadays (the same goes to all of the scents from this scent family as their hit time was about 5 years ago i guess) but it’s still a very pleasant and attractive scent.

I just purchased this perfume, and honestly I'm impressed with it. Despite being of economic price, it smells and behaves like a fragrance of more expensive cost. To describe it in short, it has a sweet warmth that is very comforting. It is powdery as well. The more it dries down, the more it smells like Dior's Feve Deliciouse-- an amazing perfume in its own right. This one, for what it is, is amazing in how good it smells, how much it lasts and how well it mixes with my skin, at least. I highly recommend it. Like I said, on me, it resembles Feve Deliciouse, this doesn't mean it will, in fact, smell the same on everyone. Skin PH plays a big role here in addition to so many other factors that make fragrances smell differently on each individual person.

I absolutely LOVE this perfume! Its a beautiful alternative to Poison Girl. Let it sit for a couple weeks and you will be mind blown how good this is. Praline and vanilla is very proheminent in this perfume. I am from Romania btw and grew up in those times and I can confirm that no, it doesn't smell like an earlier reviewer suggested lol People leave some interesting reviews here.
