Immortal Twilight

The jury is still out for me on this one-I expected a spicy floral but that's not what I smell.The initial spritz is really strong citrus and amber-then it dries down to a very soft herbal smell with no amber at all.The final drydown is very strange on me as all the notes disappear except amber and it smells stronger than ever.Eventually it fades to a trace of amber-very soft I will say.I have never had a perfume do this on me-perhaps I got an off bottle(though it is brand new). It morphs so quickly:I love the middle stage with the chamomile but it is gone in a flash.It smells very much like the original 'Halle' on me but not as strong.I'm disappointed that I get no freesia or peony from it as I love those notes.Just not sure what to make of it.I agree the bottle is gorgeous and I think for that reason I *really* want it to work.I'm just going to see:I hated SJP Lovely at first but now it is an all time fave of mine. Edit-Now I get a hint of peony in the middle but I have to say the lasting power is horrible:I can't decide whether to keep it or not as it is growing on me yet is gone within an hour:( Edit 4/12/12 I ended up returning this a while ago but I'm thinking of getting it again-one of the scents I can't let go of mentally;)

This perfume is isn ́t what you would expect from a teenager merchandise perfume. It isn ́t sweet candy-ish or heavily floral sweet like many fragrances for young women these days. It ́s defenetly different. In the opening you get exactly the notes that are listed: Chamomile and citrus. It smells fresh and calming at the same time. Very clean smelling. The chamomile gives it a special twist. After a while the freesia and peonie come through, and again you smell exactly what ́s listed in the notes. The flowers make it soapy and fresh smelling. The freesia really comes through! You have to like freesia to enjoy this fragrance. And as we twilighters know, freesia is the main note that the human Bella smelled like! :) When the basenotes come through, it makes the fragrance woodsy and mossy, which is so nice. It really smells like beeing in a forrest after rain and taking a deep breath! That ́s exactly how it smells! Reminds me a bit of the meadow scene ;) The lasting power on my is amazing! When I spray it in the morning, I can still smell it in the late afternoon. It doesn ́t completly dissapear, it just gets lighter by the time I wear it. I really love this fragrance! I would even love it when I wouldn ́t love Bella Swan!

i loathe the Twilight crap. just wanted to get that out there. i saw this bottle - without knowing what it was - and thought the bottle itself was lovely. the colours, the shape, for a drugstore perfume i thought the bottle was pretty. so i did some research into what it was (ugh. a twihard thing!). not wanting to put a single more penny into her badly-written propaganda coffers, i picked up a mostly full bottle on ebay. i'm almost ashamed to admit how much i like it. but mostly? i wonder if Mattel knows about this scent... why? well. one of my most beloved fragrances, ever, is the perfume that came with the Perfume Pretty Barbie. don't judge! it's a gorgeous scent! and pretty much ever since, so for 25 years or thereabouts, i have been trying to find another scent that smelled like that. in all that time, the only thing i had found that was even remotely close is the "Jasmine and Water Lily" lotion that came out from Victoria's Secret. (i hate jasmine! it's a badly named scent!) but this Immortal Twilight? it's ... all blue eyeshadow and bright pink satin Barbie perfection. not exactly the imagery they were going for, i'm sure, but it is what it is.

When I first got this perfume it was strictly out of curiosity. I was always a fan of Twilight (books as well as films) so getting this just seemed like it was only a matter of time. As with many fragrances, don't let the name or the look detour you away! This scent, at least to me, is lovely. It starts out a bit strong, woody, yet at the same time very floral. The citrus notes bring it out and don't let it stay very, what I call, monotone. Patchouli was listed as a note but, at least to my nose, I can never smell it, and I am not a fan of patchouli. As it settles I right away think of P.S. I Love You from Bath and Body Works. Not an exact replica but pretty close. To me this fragrance is a perfect respresentation of the tone of the Twilight series. Everytime I smell this I think of foggy woods at sunset, wildflowers covered in rain, that fresh woody air. Beautiful and mature (but far from an old lady type of smell).

I know this perfume is related to the popular teen-book series and I know most serious perfume connoisseurs will laugh in the face of it; but it is my guilty pleasure. It smells absolutely lovely on me, and its not as tacky as the scent of most perfumes aimed at the teenage- girl market usually are. There are no overly fruity or peachy scents, nor are there any disgustingly harsh powdery aspects. On me, the main notes are a gentle soft freesia and amber which is overall really pleasant and feminine. Im quite addicted to spraying clouds of it throughout the day; which is because it sadly has no staying powder whatsoever, but thats to be expected with this kind of merchandise. Its a welcome change to the usual barrage of tooth-achingly sweet or cloying perfumes for young girls, its a lot more understated and subtle if applied properly.
