To Twirl All Girly

I love this. It smells like a head shop, but in a good way, similar to their Tiptoeing. It smells a little like the incense displays by a well-known company that's always found in places like co-ops and tattoo parlors (and often head shops haha). Back in the day Electric Fetus in MN had a very similar scent, as did Pacific Sunwear circa 1995 and Zumies back when they both were heavily sports and skateboarding oriented and as close to counterculture/Hot Topic as you could get in the midwest at the time. I don't get the ylang ylang that other people get, but I do smell the tuberose and incense notes. To me there is are also notes of frangipani, melon, sandalwood, labdanum, and possibly ceylon cinnamon. It's an floriental in the same vein as Avon's Imari. I like both, but this is much less generic smelling. It's an aroma probably everyone will recognize, but they won't know from where. I'm allergic to citrus and scents with d-limonene and this is safe for me. I have the oil version which has excellent longevity, but has more intimate sillage. But with perfumes like this, you don't want a sillage beast that announces your presence both long before you arrive and long after you depart. It's more of a romantic, even naughty, evening scent, but can be worn during the day with some ease. It's probably not office or work appropriate. It reminds me of summers by the water, more rebellious days filled with way too much fun, the hormones of youth, and platform shoes. Don't go to her expecting anything specific. She needs to be appreciated for the unique creation she is. If you can do that, you won't be disappointed. Also, for those of you sensitive to synthetic aroma chemicals, TTAG should be safe for you, just apply sparingly. If you have MCAS and are searching for something that won't send you into a flare, this might work for you. I can wear this around people with MCAS and fibromyalgia without them getting triggered.

I ordered a sample of this after falling in love with Pilar & Lucy's "Tiptoeing Through the Chambers of the Moon." Despite reviews warning against wearing this in warm weather, I decided to wear it this morning, as fine a summer morning as any. "To Twirl all Girly" passed the first sniff test, so I had no reservations wearing this out (if something smells too crazy from the bottle, I'll wear it around the house to test its reaction to my skin prior to wearing it out in public or to work). She opens brightly with a bang...Gardenia! and Jasmine! and Incense! She settles in about an hour to a creamy, warm, spicy sweetness. Three hours into wear I'm getting plenty of gardenia, jasmine, incense but it has been tempered with a warm vanilla/amber vibe. I get no fruit at all in this, which is fine by me. Previous reviews were on the mark about sillage...a little goes a long way. I have two drops on each wrist and a drop on my throat and it projects about 2 feet. Three hours into wear these 5 drops are still going strong. I really like this, perhaps even love it - time will tell. Not as enchantingly dark as "Tiptoeing" but definitely enchantingly girly...twirly girly. EDIT: I MOST definitely - LOVE this perfume!

I just love Pilar and Lucy and both of their beautiful fragrances and am so glad that I bought them. To twirl all girly is simply wonderful and enchanting to me. I used to have a room in my house called the candle room. It was my 70's throw back room that had many different candles and incence burning all the time. I had throw pillows and tie die scarfs thown about along with beads hanging everywhere. I even had the atrological sings up on the cealing. It was my retreat away from the world when I needed to unwind. When ever anybody came into that room they always commented that it smelled so wonderful with all the incense and candles burning. This fragrance reminds me of that time and when the florals kick in I am in heaven and want twirl like a girl!!!

Beware--you will get more compliments than you may be able to handle. Men will want to eat you up...heavy night-blooming jasmine, incense, with a bit of brown sugar. It's essentially no more than incense and vanilla with a bit of salicylate, and it smells SPOT ON of Cassini, but it's good. Quite good. Unfortunately, the last two bottles I purchased turned rancid WAY before their time (6-8 mos.), and I'm not into wasting money. Sorry Pilar and Lucy, but you're using something unstable here, whether it's the wrong carrier oil, or subpar compounds/essentials, time to switch recipes, suppliers, or both. I won't be funding your cheapie bottles and juices any longer!

A winner for me! At the beginni g I got a heavy incense then it started setteling and I started smelling something very fresh. After about three, yes three hours I am covered in the beautiful scent of gardenia!!!! I had originally decided that I would only purchase ttcm. But have now decided that I must have this one too!! I could become addicted to these fragrances!!!
