Twilight

This really should be a "Covet" flanker because it definetely has its bone structure. Definetely a musk with rounded corners and a dusting of dark chocolate, however it has a much quieter character. Musk is definetely the name of the game for Twilight, which I like. The top is a sweet musk, the heart is a floral musk, and the base is a dusty chocolate musk, which alternately smells richly vanilla. Is it smoky white chocolate? Well whatever it is it's good. Mixed in are slight hints of smoke and insence that are very discreet. I actually bought this because I was hoping for a smoky rich perfume, so I wish all that was stronger, but its okay. I like this because it is the definition of a skin scent musk. It's pleasantly sweet and simple--it is not strong, won't challenge anyone, and is good for anything done in cooler weather. When wearing Twiight, it becomes part of your own scent, and that's what I like most about it. Slight sillage, good longevity, and priced reasonably.

Twilight is my favourite time of the day, time to relax, curl up with your favourite person, pet, book, movie or dreams. There is something very comforting and relaxing with this fragrance. I am a big fan of oriental musk based perfumes and I was pleasantly surprised by this one. I had tried the other two in the collection and it was just same ole same ole floral but then this BAM!! Fragrant desert nights, me, reclining on silk cushions waiting in anticipation. The air teasing the curtains to show glimpses of the distant setting sun. The swirl of sand at Valentino's feet as he enters my tent. He stares at me intently as a waft of spice, amber, sweet musk and the scent of a man is carried on the air, such a heady mix. Breathing quickly, eyes fluttering, I reach for him and gently swoon into his arms. This is definitely my favourite of the Lovely Collection.

I'd say a complete harmony. Sweet from Amber, bitter from galbanum, comforting and calming Musk, smokiness to contrast sweetness(incence) and a bit of spice(pink pepper) And as usual with this brand, I found it at a very lo cost for a beautiful fragrance that last :)

Okay, here goes: So you remember in Chandler Burr's The Perfect Scent, where SJP tells him about the three perfumes that she combined, which in turn inspired her develop her own perfume line? In case you haven't read it (or didn't know), legend has it that SJP mixed CdG Avignon, Bonne Belle Skin Musk, and a street cart Egyptian musk oil. The result was a very UNISEXXXY scent. This mix was to be her inspiration for her very first perfume. However, Coty turned the screws, and promised that they would make the Avignon-Skin Musk-Egyptian Musk "later," and to focus instead on creating a perfume with mass appeal. Hence, Lovely. Some thought that Covet was the corporate manifestation of Sarah Jessica's original intent. I am here to tell you (you probably already know what I am going to say) that it was not Covet, it was TWILIGHT! How do I know this? I know this because I am a huge dork and I actually wore the aforementioned combo for a few months, until I purchased Twilight on a whim. I actually whooped with glee the first time I smelled it- no longer would I be forced to buy expensive CdG only to smother it with drugstore/back alley musk oils! Twilight really and truly does smell like Comme de Garcons Avignon, Bonne Belle Musk, and Egyptian musk oil all layered on top of each other. It is my belief that this poorly marketed, one-third of a flanker is SJP's vision incarnate. Maybe not a perfect match, but it is damn close. Twilight is very warm, sexy, and unisex. I get a lot of amber and incense without smoke. But, as much as I love it, it is not long-lasting. And it gets really sweet sometimes before disappearing altogether. Still, totally worth the $16.

To me, as others have mentioned, SJP's "Twilight" smells a lot like Jessica Simpson's "Fancy Nights". While I am still not sure whether I like Fancy Nights, I think I do really like Twilight. The major difference is that Twilight is missing the patchouli. The patchouli is pretty strong in Fancy Nights and takes a while to settle down, while Twilight is pretty mellow from the get go. Twilight is slightly spicy, powdery, and smokey on me. It is definitely a musky scent, very linear, but I find it enjoyable. I am not sure that I would like wearing it in the summer, it might be a little heavy, but I think it is a good day scent for winter so far. Not my favorite, but definitely better than a few of the other scents I have tried lately - partially because this one smelled a lot like I expected it to. If the lasting power was a little better I might enjoy Twilight more, but at least it isn't overpowering.

What a wonderful little gem from SJP! Twilight begins strongly, with a heavy, sweet balsamic amber, a dusty musk, an undercurrent of spice (pink pepper) and some hints of smokey incense. Sometimes there are wafts of something slightly bitter and resinous, which I think is the galbanum. I enjoyed the hints of bitterness and smokiness throughout this one, which has been tempered by the sweetness. The dry-down is soft, sweet and musky. I'm very impressed for such an affordable little scent, especially one with a generic kind of packaging. That's why I sought out a sample first; I could've easily blind bought this, but I didn't want another "meh" scent hanging around. I really enjoyed this and can't wait to see how it performs in the cold, as I think it would be best then! Only lasts for about 4-5 hours; soft to moderate sillage :)

This is a nice woody oriental. To me it smells like a lighter much easier to wear version of Calvin Klein's Obsession for women. This is lightly spicy, musky and warm and woody. Quite nice. I was thinking about buying Obsession but once I smelt this I knew this would be the more versatile option. Obsession is much heavier, mustier, deep spicy and should be applied lightly. But this still retains all the qualities of Obsession that I love but in a lighter simpler way. Initially this starts off somewhat masculine smelling but after several minutes on my skin, Twilight softens and becomes more feminine, warm, cozy but still slightly spicy. This is perfect for Fall and Winter. Bottle and packaging make it look more expensive than it actually is. I picked up a 75ml for only $20.

My first thought upon applying Twilight was, WHY IS THIS SO SWEET? I was expecting spicy, woody, smoky. Give it a few seconds and Twilight does indeed become the three above mentioned things. The sweet amber is always present, but takes a backseat. Final dryown is peppery, woody and just smoky enough that you won't smell like a camp fire. There is also a very mild floral undertone. I think it's the jasmine tempered by peony. I do sense a slight bitterness from galbanum, but on my skin it's definitely not the strongest note. Twilight, on me, is all about amber. I wonder if there is cedar in this as I definitely get a cedar chip vibe from this fragrance. I find the drydown very unisex.

When I first spray this it has the same sort of musk that Deseo by Jennifer Lopez has and also Jessica Simpson Fancy Nights and even a little Moschino Couture. They don't all dry down the same and are of different qualities but that pink musk lollie smell is there. I like it so I guess that's why I have all of the above mentioned perfumes but I wasn't sure what the smell was that attracted me to them and I think it is the musky sweet smell but not in a cupcake or overbearing vanilla way just a suttle sweet musk. Covet is different to this when you smell the two side by side but I do see the similarities. If you are unsure about Covet I would try this one.

This is my first Sarah Jessica Parker scent. I bought the 100 ml EDP of this scent because it was on sale. I wasn't crazy about the bottle; I really didn't find it anything special to look at. Of course, that's not the most important thing, but I do like my perfumes to be in a pretty package. I tried it on, and the more I smell it, the more I seem to like it. The muskiness is very sexy, and the sweet peony and fruity smells feel very feminine. It really does smell sweet and saucy at the same time. I cannot stop smelling myself when I wear this perfume! Definitely worth it for the price. I will be getting much use out of this bottle.

I tested this on my lunch break the other day. For some reason I had avoided them because the packaging was not appealing to me. This smelled of musk almost musk lollies like the musk in Jessica Simpsons Fancy Night. It then converted to a milder form of Covet with the spiceyness. Having said that, I do like it and I would wear it. I didn't buy it because I want to wait a little while I can't always blow money on perfume. When I can I will try a little bottle. I like the musky tone to it the same way I like the musky tone in Fancy Night it's nice and adds a little warmth sweetness to the perfume so it's not just spicey.

A blind buy but a happy one! I am so pleasant with it! I didn't expect much at the time i bought it but when I received it and smell it I wasn't dissapointed at all! I t kinda reminds me of Mademoiselle of Nina Ricci and with a lower price ofcourse. A bit spicy but in a good way. I feel alive when I wear it, i feel sexy and shameless. The name fits this perfume, and it makes me feel like in a twilight walking in a super long and beautiful dress. I think the best season for it it's fall. So this perfume really belongs to a lovely collection with a good price and a good achievement.

Twilight opens with a beautiful burst of powdery musk. Effervescent with pepper, the scent dries down to a warmer, spicy underlay that mingles well with its fruits and florals. I must admit I've gone through phases with this scent over the past decade and, while the aforementioned notes haven't always appealed to me, I seem to have come around to liking it again. While a little too fruity to be a sensual spice-heavy musk, and with florals too potent to truly appreciate the alleged smokiness, Twilight is an attractive feminine scent that will probably never go out of style.

I think this is the nicest of the trio of Sarah Jessica Parker twilight, dawn and endless. The nicest of a trio are often on my list of faves, so I think this is no.3 after Espcially Escada and Vera Wang Preppy Princess. When I first smelt this I was at an airport. Then I went into the perfume shop, and I smelt this. Then I was speechless, half because it was so cool and half angry with myself for not trying it yet. Longvenity: 5/10 Scent: 10/10 Total: 15/20 I really like this one!!

I'm not so sure about this one. I'm glad to have sourced a used bottle of this for very little. Because it is weak and contradictory. It's a bit of nothing. Musky and ambery with a bit of wood and florals. The dry down is a little woodier which appeals but it is insipid and not SJP's best. It's so weak I can barely work out whether I want to wear it or spray linen with it.

This was gifted to me by the wonderfully generous 2746cstreet. It starts out gently, soft, mild and comforting. But it really satisfies my amber fetish. I love that it is classic smelling, not trendy. Sexy and warm and fulfilling. Nice balance of woods, spice and a touch of floral. I wish it lasted a bit longer. I will wear it often, especially in the cooler months.

I acquired Twilight by SJP before I really got into scents, and while I have to say it doesn't have the same complexity and punch as other fragrances I have obtained since then, for me it is still a really pleasant, easy-going wear. On my skin it smells more powdery than incensey, with refreshing floral interjections. A great everyday perfume :)

I only know the new formulation, which I really like. Initially I get a little bug spray, but when this has gone, on me it becomes sweet, floral and beautyful. Stays for few hours, but all right. Today I received my first bottle of EL Modern Muse EDP, and to me they are quite similar, even how they start out. Also nice and easy for every day.

What a great scent! The amber, incense & musk blend together so beautifully to offer a sexy, womanly scent. I can see why some may not like it, especially if you prefer something sweet or floral but it is worth giving it a try, maybe even a second one. I really like all 3 scents in the Lovely collection but lately this has been my favorite.

I smell predominantly a coconut and cinnamon mixture in this perfume... Hot spicy notes makes it a warm(...or hot suits better) and a li'l masculine fragrance... Twilight reminds me Pi by Givenchy... (Yes all the three components of the serie are reminding me another perfume) For scent and for longevity average of the serie IMO...
