Miu Miu Twist

I blind bought a large bottle from Sephora. I disagree with the review that this is generic and that it doesn’t last. It has a lovely apple scent and then the accord that they are calling a “pink amber accord”. Omg it’s amazingly wonderful. It’s sweet in all the right ways. Balanced and not too sweet. It smells like edible fruity vanilla even though vanilla is not listed by itself. There isn’t any melon either but the top notes made me think of apple and watermelon. I love the ABSENCE of patchouli. I’ve been having a very hard time with different patchouli’s lately, I’ve been getting nauseous from them. So this is a welcome relief. Perfect for spring. Not overwhelming- sillage is mild but it can be worn during the day in spring. It just makes me think of spring. I suppose I can wear it now, too but it’s like spring in a bottle. Very cheerful and feminine. Something about it reminds me of Chanel Chance eau tendre - very delicate and pink and feminine and simply beautiful. Regarding the bottle. At first I saw the bottle in photos and I didn’t like the look of it. It just seemed so stuffy and classical compared to the mod Miu Miu designs. However, in person, I simply live it on my vanity. It’s like a Classical Greek urn or something. Very elegant and the base is heavy solid glass. I like to use other fragrances as a point of reference. I would say if you like daisy, Chance eau tendre, Miu Miu eau rosée then you will probably like this very much.

This is soooo good! I have to admit that the only reason I bought this is because I’m obsessed with Miu Miu and the insanely pretty bottle design but as a sweet gourmand fragrance lover I did not expect to like this so much. It’s juicy and sweet but I a non cloying way, very clean and pretty. I mostly smell the pink pepper, apple blossom and cedar in this perfume, after an hour or two it starts to give an impression of a cologne so I think this is a feminine leaning unisex scent. The only bad side about this perfume is that it doesn’t last very long. If you want it to last at least 5 hours you HAVE to overspray, and I mean like really really overspray. It’s a very versatile scent and you can easily wear this to work, on a date or on a night out. That’s the beautiful versatility of Miu Miu Twist.

Ok I am HOOKED on this pink amber accord. Something about this fragrance, and actually the whole line, really dazzles. Maybe the woods are just so precisely calibrated in the base that they offer the fruity and floral notes in the opening just the right amount of prickly grounding. Whatever it is, I find the impression to be one of magic. Does anyone else get caught up in the seasonal hype cycle of perfume? For example, I was very excited to wear heavier, amber-woodsy and vanilla frags when it got colder...but now that I started wearing them, I've been craving the freshness of more floral and traditionally "spring" associated frags. Twist really strikes the balance for me, with this delightful pink amber accord playing gently with the cedar, amber, and tonka anchoring it. It's a love for me!

Oh my, I love the blending of this one!! The apple blossom note is really prominent, but it evolves quite a bit. The opening is a tangy, mouthwatering, tart Green apple. Then the red berry notes enter the picture, rendering it a bit sweeter. This phase actually reminds me of a real throwback- anyone remember those scratch and sniff teddy bears from the early 90s?! It's a candy type scent for sure, not overbearingly sweet though, just fragrant with smooth plastic-y undertones (normally I would hate anything that reminded me of plastic, but this is really subtle). Midway through, the cedar and amber take over, although the candied fruit notes are still playing in the background, representing the "Twist" in this fragrance. It's sublime!

Weirdly enough, this is my favorite tonka bean fragrance. Tonka bean is not the main note, but it is one of the main notes, and paired with the fresh bergamot, then the powdery florals, and then with the cedar... it is magnificent. Not your typical warm sweet tonka bean. This is an uplifting fresh sweet tonka bean. A very unique scent. Love at first sniff. Also, ladies, let's not age our fragrances, and help society try to box us into what is acceptable, expected, polite, and "good girl." We are not dogs in need of acceptance and praise, and we are not fucking predictable. We are badass WOMEN, and we will wear whatever the fuck we want, at whatever age we want. Support each other. As long as we do that, we'll be respected at any age.

Miu Miu Twist has a sweet and woodsy apple pie vibe to me. It’s very crisp and sweet, but the sparkly, peppery cedar makes me love this so much. Once fall hit, this perfume bloomed for me. The dry down is divine. It lasts on me a long time- about 8 hrs. I really missed my discontinued Chloe See, and this is the first perfume that nearly hits that apple blossom spot. I think it is a crowd pleaser and makes me feel happy and uplifted. Update: every time I wear this, an hour later I catch whiffs of the most glorious, sweet, spicy dry down and I’m so glad I put this on. I guess my nose doesn’t go blind to this one like it does a lot of other perfume and to me that’s a winner! I wear perfume for ME

Such a nice refreshing fragrance. It’s sweet , fruity and airy, I think the red pepper really come through on my skin w this scent. I can see it being appropriate for school or work, it’s not loud and stays closer to skin but still noticeable when someone is close by. It’s pretty clean and fresh , right amount of sweetness w the touch of woodiness from the cedar and musk in the back . Edit: I’ve obtained a travel size of Bal D Afrique and they are definitely in the same vein. The pepperiness in this one kind of give off the same vibe as Bal D Afrique vetiver. This one is more fruitier. But I think with this one on hand I don’t need the other .

Miu Miu Twist is a light, sweet Springtime fragrance. On the initial spray, the apple blossom and red berries give it a sweetness reminiscent of RL Romance, but then there’s a bit of bite from the bergamot. The dry down is a woodsy-powder combo with some warmth added from the amber and the tonka bean. It’s upbeat and casual without smelling frivolous, the kind of scent I’d wear to work. (I’m a 4th grade teacher.) Although it’s not particularly “seductive,” it does have a calming powdery quality that would be good for bedtime wear. Overall, I really like this.

I tried this in store and cannot stop sniffing my arm! This is amazingly addictive. I think it’s the amber, cedar wood combination that makes it so creamy, easy to wear fresh scent. I am lucky to have got a free sample in store, which I will use up this week for sure. Will be purchasing this in full size bottle ASAP, I can’t wait. This is a real hit for me, feels like sunshine and rainbows in a bottle, love it! Also, l love the bottle design. Update, I bought the full size bottle, body lotion and shower gel, that’s how much I love this fragrance.

This is feminine, classy and mature. It’s sweet, floral, balanced by soft woodiness. I have tried Bal D’afrique by Byredo and I think this is sweeter. The Byredo one has a plasticky smell to my nose. I could see some people thinking it’s basic, I think it’s unique! It used to be my signature scent, but I lean more towards more gourmand scents these days. This is something more formal, it’s heavy on the florals.

My signature scent. The pepper compliments the sweetness of the berry and florals so nicely. My go-to when I want to feel put-together and feminine. I'm on my third bottle in as many years. Projection and longevity are both moderate; I find that it sticks to fabric better than my skin. My scarves are saturated with it at this point. We love her.

i just bought this and at the moment, this is my favourite. i cant stop sniffing myself, i have literally bathed in a veil of this vibrant, uplifting and joyous fragrance. feels like springtime and it makes me happy. but everyone is right.. it doesnt last, but i can reapply whenever i want with my new 100ml gorgeous bottle.

I got a decant of this and fell in love with the scent. However, my skin eats it up completely. I used almost half of my 8ml decant in one use and it faded within an hour. Edit: I ended up buying a 50ml bottle for cheap and overspray and love. Last time I wore it I got multiple compliments asking what it was.

I just love how it changes, from fresh citrus fragrance, to a cozy, warm, gourmet fragrance. On my skin top notes, quickly fade but the end notes stay for all day, those are really long lasting. It's a fragrance that the more you use, the more you like. Now I love it!!

Would not know there was violet in this. This just smells like an elegant, slightly fruity floral. It is so delicate and feminine and beautiful! Just a shame about the longevity, barely lasts for more than an hour

Curently my favorite one. Every time i smell it, it makes me so happy..... Underated... Perfection in the (perfect) bottle.. <3

Lovely scent, it smells like a combination of Bal d’ frique and Mojave Ghost.

Miu Miu Twist is literally basic is done perfectly. Yes, it’s familiar: fruity feminine, musk and powder, some soft woods, your classic designer DNA but oh, she fits just right. Generic? Sure. But think little-black-dress-typa generic: we don't judge the idea, we look at the execution. There’s a sparkle at the top, apple-bright but far far away from shampoo-bright. Almost a litchi-hibiscus shimmer, crisp but rounded, so pink yet natural, none of that magazine gloss. The kind of scent that clicks with you immediately and makes your brain go: CHIC!! Then the heart: powdery violets and warm cedar, but clean. Synthetic but in that Miu Miu way where it feels couture more than tacky. Musks and ambrettolide fluff it all out, softening the backbone while keeping the whole thing upright. No unwelcome explosions here. Just lift and glide. All the way to our amber-light drydown specked with a little vanilla, a little benzoin, this whole scent offers no twist yet somehow works its magic anyway. Sure, it gives off the vibe of a relatively young, chic girl. But not just any girl— it smells like Her. Like the girl who doesn’t try too hard but always posts the best photo dumps. Zero bad photos. Fashionable in even the objectively ugliest of clothes. Phone case always clean. Absolutely, magnetic. It just goes to show that sometimes a scent doesn’t need to be avant-garde. It just needs to be right. Twist is right. Miu Miu don’t miss frfr

Miu Miu Twist is a very likeable, pretty, feminine fragrance. Initially, it is grassy (which I like). citrusy, and fresh. It then settles into a softer powdery musk with slight hints of the opening. It remains clean and refreshing throughout the wear time. The perfect office fragrance and great for the gym. You could wear it whenever you want to smell light, fresh, and clean. I doubt this fragrance would offend anyone. But unfortunately, its performance is abysmal, even with massive over-spraying. After two hours, you can barely detect it on the skin. After fourish hours, it still lingers a bit on clothes, but you really need to search for it. Luckily I got my bottle heavily discounted, so I don't mind over-spraying and topping up throughout the day, but I still find it very annoying. I would love Miu Miu Twist if it were longer lasting and had decent projection. It is a beautiful and unique scent, and I enjoy it when I can detect it. But I would not recommend buying it at full price unless you are okay with having only one hour of decent wear time with your fragrance.

I got a sample in a Sephora order and raved about it. My husband bought it for me for Christmas the year it came out. I haven't charged through it like I though because Miu Miu and I are on a journey. I need to be in the right mindset to wear this one. I couldn't wear it to work because I was terrified I would associate this scent with a toxic work environment but now that I am starting a new job I find myself reaching for my fragrances more. I'm looking at the notes and I see no pepper. I swore there was pepper! I can smell it quite distinctly. Maybe the cedar note is messing with me, though I have discovered I love a good woody note and I'm no longer afraid of them. It's a peppy scent, not cloying or sensual. It's great for daytime wear. I just feel like myself when I wear it. The bottle is gorgeous. It's becoming an easier reach for me nowadays. If this scent was a scene it would be sunshine on a clear day, having a picnic on a wood picnic table, seated with your favorite people. Easy going, laughing, relaxed.

The first thing I thought after praying this was that it smells like the perfume samples on magazine pages. Very generic, non offensive, but boring. I couldn’t pick out any notes aside from just “perfume”. After a couple of minutes, I actually really liked how it developed. It turned into a soft warm musk scent, with a hint of apple in the background. Unfortunately, that disappeared within minutes into nothing. I don’t know if it’s just my skin or what, but the fragrance almost completely disappeared within the span of 10 minutes. If I bring my wrist right up under my nose, there’s a faint trace of a masculine deodorant smell. Overall, the smells were good, it just didn’t last and wasn’t my preference.

I had this and liked it, but ended up giving it to my mom. I much prefer Miu Miu L'eau Rosee, with its (what i smell as) grapefruit pepper notes. Miu Miu Twist is actually similar to it, but with apple instead of grapefruit, and only the faintest pepper. It's pretty and fruity sweet, but just not "me." So I'm the L'eau Rosee girl and my mom is the Twist girl. I think it's kind of a cute idea for best friends, sisters or mom & daughter to do these 2 fragrances when you hang out together, because they compliment each other, rather than competing or clashing. It's an idea that I've heard and think is cool for couples, so why not buddies, too?

I can understand the comparisons of Twist to Bal D'Afrique, Perfect, and less so, to Place Vendome. They all have a subtle easy comforting vibe. Twist seems a bit spicier on the dry down than Bal D'Afrique but both are a nice blend of freshness with the florals, musk, and base taming the citrus. Bal D'Afrique seems a bit warmer to me while both are balanced with the light musk, amber, and wood. Perfect is fruitier from the rhubarb and Place Vendome has obvious powder. Perhaps it's the apple blossom in Twist which makes it a mood lifter for me. I think it's suitable to wear Spring - Fall on moderate temperature days.

I just love the vibe of the Miu Miu brand and that is why I blind bought on ebay. It instantly reminded me of a perfume I've smelled before when I first sprayed it. Then it hit me!! It totally has a tiny bit of the vibe of Fantasy by Britney Spears. Believe me it's nowhere near as sweet as Fantasy and it is unique in its own right. But it still has elements of it. Actually, its initial notes are just like the drydown of Fantasy. It's like is a way less sweet, less gourmand version of it with more peppery, more woody notes and musk. It has a sweet warm cozy vibe but the woody notes and fruity notes keep it fresh.

Extremely similar to my beloved Bal D'Afrique. This is a good designer alternative for those who don't want to invest in Byredo. To me it smells very similar. I personally stocked up on Tonka Wood by Zara Home which was created by the same perfumer of Bal D'Afrique and I'm good. For those who couldn't do that now that it's discontinued, Miu Miu Twist is a good alternative. Airy, beautiful, could easily become someone's signature just like Tonka Wood and Bal D'Afrique.

This is nice, but nothing really special. I do smell the apple blossom at the beginning and it does smell sweet and fresh, which I like, but I'm pretty hard-pressed to find any woody, musky, or tonka notes. It didn't last long on me. I got a sample, so I'm ok with that...I would possibly buy it if it was heavily discounted, like at TJ Maxx or Burlington or something because I do like the bottle.

I really like the opening of this one, fresh green floral note with a little note of citrus, really refreshing. But when it drys down it's more citrus on me I don't know why to me it's like the lighter version of Tiffany & Love For Her. It lasts only 1-1.5 hours on me in the building with air conditioner without leaving skin scent but lasts more with the note getting stronger in hot humid area.

This is interesting! I sprayed it on a clean tissue and it instantly reminded me of those Wet Ones hand wipes, the ones in the yellow packaging, which are citrus scented. Now, I'm typically not one for citrus based scents, but I'm finding that I actually enjoy the smell of bergamot and this has it in abundance. I'm not sure I would buy a full bottle of this, but the sample does smell promising.

All I smell when I spray this is pepper! From freshly sprayed to an hour later, 99% of this scent is just peppery to me. If I really get my nose in there I can pick up the smallest hint of musk and violet, but overall I don’t get any of the notes listed and it’s sad. The peppery scent is still nice but not what I was looking for. The bottle is simple yet gorgeous though so I’m not too upset!

This smells almost exactly like The Body Shop Shea which I also own. It’s also masculine, not very feminine. It’s nice. I don’t think someone would have something similar in their collection because it’s so unique. The notes that stick out to me the most are cedar, bergamot, musk & violet. Miu Miu definitely has the best atomizer as it sprays finely, almost airy, not that harsh squirt.

This wasn’t even on my radar. I picked this up post Christmas as an unwanted gift quite cheap and based on reviews here blind bought it. What a win! It’s slightly sweet and fruity, something I normally avoid, but there’s just something magic about the combination of these notes and depth this fragrance has that just keeps drawing me in. Twist is truly uplifting and a happy scent.

Youthful, fresh and extremely day friendly (office). Really reminds me of Gucci Flora "Gorgeous Gardenia" but a bit woodier and muskier with heavier amber notes. Don't get me wrong though, there is nothing heavy about this at all. Very feminine and summery. Perfect for walking hand in hand with your love to go to get an ice cream.

As soon as I put this on, I thought, "Fantasy by Britney Spears." It dried down into something totally different and fruity that doesn't go in a completely opposite direction the way that Fantasy does. But side by side, on first spray: Fantasy all the way.

I’m all about the blind buy scores from Marshall’s and for $20 this is a winner! Echoing previous comments- it smells exactly like the listed notes, is very pretty, inoffensive, creamy and not screamo sweet. The bottle is fabulous. Perfect for summer!

Picked this up at Marshalls today and it smells exactly like the notes listed. I enjoy the cedar, tonka, and amber in this. It's interesting to me in a good way. It's not a love but I do like it. There's a creaminess in it that I enjoy.

initally smells very fresh and woody- almost like christmas. As it dries down it loses everything that makes it unique. turns into a very generic smell that i'm not crazy about. the initial pepperyness reminds me of glossier

a sweeter glossier you (better imo) wish the longevity was greater but i like it. honestly surprised it’s not rated higher for autumn/winter as it’s very woody/creamy reminds me of a sweeter more refined version of MM BTF

A sweet, fruity floral with a clean, pink, easygoing personality. It opens with a soft candy fruit brightness, settles into a light floral haze, and stays polite from start to finish. Pretty, non‐offensive, and pleasant.

Just received this today and I really like it! Its a light, slightly sweet (like white sugar) and musky with a hint of woody notes in the background. Its wonderful and light enough for all seasons I think.

this is really pretty. on me it’s a woody, powdery citrus and violet scent. easy breezy everyday vibez

such a beautifully blended woodsy berry scent on my skin. longevity is also great

Such an underrated gem 💎 and absolutely unisex 🙌🏻

This is the perfume that made me realise that what sits well on one person's skin, may not sit well on another's. It is also the reason I will never blind buy again. This is a really unique scent that is a little hard to describe but it does smell quite peppery like some other people have mentioned. I bought a bottle after smelling it on my colleague (who I always thought smelled cozy and huggable). The feedback I received while wearing it at work was that it smells like a really dominant, unapproachable woman. I ended up getting rid of it because my husband was repulsed by it. I still think this scent is pretty, but it's just not for me.

I blind bought this perfume and I just got it in the mail, I totally agree with the reviews down below, this smells like Britney Spears fantasy. But a tad bit cologny if you know what I mean. I mainly got it for the beautiful bottle tbh. As for the scent I wasn’t the biggest fan of fantasy therefore I don’t like this one.. but I’ll keep testing it.. I sprayed it on my hand 10 minutes ago and I can barely smell it.. what a disappointment.

bought this at marshall's, blind buy. initial spray you def get the apple blossom, beautiful floral, the bergamot isn't too sour or bitter. dries down sweet, not a fruity sweet, but a candy one? dunno where it comes from, but very nice and inoffensive. good daytime spring or summer. a bit on the young side, but not juvenile. like a nice young 20-something type of perfume. for the price i paid, i'm pleased! the packaging is nice too.

Peppery! I blind sprayed this from a group of samples I had and I was shocked by it. It smells just like black pepper to me. After about a half hour, it’s dried down to something a little more woodsy and musky but I still smell pepper. I can’t detect any floral notes. It leans more unisex than feminine, in my opinion. It’s not what I personally like, but it’s not an awful scent or anything.

I actually don't think this smells like Bal d'Afrique that much - Twist is sweeter and girlier. Apple blossom and red berries overpower just about everything else in the composition for me. A good fragrance to try and to have if you like those top notes listed but if I need to chose between this and Byredo, I'd go with the latter.

Blind buy disappointment. Absolutely not similar to Byredo Bal d'Afrique neither to Al Rayhan by Attar Collection. Maybe the same direction, fresh scent, woody cedar note and that's it pretty much. Overal very light unremarkable scent and not worthy $65 I paid online. Longevity/ sillage rather weak than medium.

I loved this perfume on myself until I smelled it randomly on a man next to me and realized that it’s so much better on him than on me. So I gave it to my boyfriend...

Meh. Smells peppery to me? Like peppery fruit. An absolute miss for me. But the bottle is verrrrry cute so it looks good on the shelf
