Twist - Noir No. 32 - Eau De Parfum Inspired by T. Ford Tuscan Leather, Long-Lasting Perfume For Women & Men, Paraben Free, Vegan, Clean Ingredients, Unisex Fragrance - Spray 100 ml | 3.4 fl. oz.

It is one of the limitations of the Amazon review system, or perhaps the way that Twist has asked Amazon to organize its reviews that ALL the Twist fragrances are aggregated for review purposes. This is silly, as someone wanting to make a particular fragrance purchase -- say a clone of Green Irish Tweed (Twist Green No. 41) -- really isn't going to be interested in how good the Baccarat Rouge dupe smells. And there is no way of searching the reviews to zero in on the scents one is interested in. I am sure many customers have been happy with one dupe from a company only to find that a different product from the same company misses the mark. The following are short reviews of all the Twist products that I have. Don't know what that does to the "Star Rating" System -- Getting three stars for Twist Wild One No. 71 (a Sauvage clone that isn't close on the dry-down, IMHO) doesn't really have anything to do with a five star review for Twist Red Velvet No. 4 (Baccarat Rouge) or Twist Green No. 41 (Green Irish Tweed) that are really pretty good in my limited experience. Twist Noir No. 32 (five stars) and Twist Black No. 24 (five stars): I have never smelled Tom Ford's Tuscan Leather or Ombre Leather, so I can't rate how close these scents are to those fragrances. I can say, though, that they are wonderful in its own right. "Delicious" was the first word that came to mind. This is not for someone who wants to smell cloyingly sweet -- this scent evokes a sense of gravitas, of seriousness of purpose. For lack of a better description, this is a scent for grownups -- it is sophisticated and nuanced. I have recently been testing out a dozen or so affordable scents including several from Twist. These, and Twist Cyperus No. 60 and Red Velvet No. 4 are leading the pack as real surprises. Affordable and -- most importantly -- not cheap smelling. Twist River No. 64. Solid four stars. It is supposed to be a Creed Silver Mountain Water clone and it smells very close. I just don't happen to favor the original scent! Not Twist's fault. Same with Twist Wood No. 28. It is very close to Tom Ford's Oud Wood, but I don't love Oud as a fragrance note, even if I do love TF's Suede scents. Just personal taste, there. I am fairly new to this world, so I didn't know I'd have these reactions until after purchasing the products. Hey, it's a journey . . . Twist Napoli No. 7 is supposed to be an Aventus clone. Three stars here. My sample of Aventus has A LOT of citrus in the opening - the Creed product is sharp and bold. The Napoli No. 7 is going for something similar, but doesn't quite get there. It just smells like a weaker version. The ad-copy for all the products says "long lasting" -- I don't really know what to make of that. All the ones I have tried seem like 3-4 hour scents. That isn't "long lasting" to me. It is somewhere in between the manly-man old school aftershaves (Pinaud: say, 2 hours) and the big money products (Chanel Blue: all day) or the UAE scents from Armaf or Afnan (definitely all day, but not necessarily in a good way). I am giving Twist five stars overall because I like what they are doing. The products come well packaged, the bottles have a minimalist, attractive design, and the value is a good one on a dollars-per-ounce basis. Customer service is responsive and personal. Bottom line: an interesting company turning out a pretty high quality, good value product, with many more hits than misses in my book. And it's working for me as I keep ordering new ones. I have Twist Salt No. 75 poking its way across the country right now, about which I have high hopes as I know I like the original Jo Malone scent.

Review for Amalfi: Great dupe for TF Neroli Portofino in scent and comprable longevity. Neither is long lasting on me. The projection on both are virtually faded after a couple hours, but TF fades more slowly thereafter. After six hours, you can still barely smell them both if you put your nose on the skin and take a big strong whiff. At six hours the TF base smells more sweet musky and the Amalfi base is a light powdery floral. I actually prefer the Amalfi base. Either option you need to reapply if you want the smell to be there all day and I personally feel more at ease carrying an affordable Twist bottle in my bag than a TF bottle. Amalfi is a great name as this truly smells like a childhood summer beach day if you grew up in the 70’s and 80’s. Not exactly sure why, but that’s the evoked memory. The bottle is very simple and minimalistic styling and comes in a very cute gift able box. It isn’t TF luxury packaging, but it’s not $450 either. Price is insanely affordable compared to TF. Twist Amalfi is less than the tax paid for the TF version. That blows my mind. Don’t think I could justify splurging on TF again. Not in this economy. This is my first Twist fragrance purchase, and I will definitely be trying more. Hope the others are wins too. Update: I was able to make Amalfi stick around for 12 hours by layering it generously with Vaseline!

Deuce No. 52 based on Yves Saint Laurent Tuxedo Overall ― It’s a dense and boozy vanilla; isn’t light, airy or sweet, just carries itself as laid–back, rich, not necessarily dark but with depth and socially contrasting complexity that might be associated with “typical rich and shallow people,” “daddy’s money,” “old”, “old money,” “classic rich old ladies,” “every present–day grannies who were considered ‘sexy’ and ‘captivating’ in the 80s and early 90s,” “cocky lawyers,” “insufferable rich lawyers,” “unapologetically rich,” “legally blonde’s overly rich parents and McMansion.” The only reason why I don’t give this a full 5 star is because I was in the market for a better balance of warm vanilla and fresh notes, which this doesn’t come quite as close. Profile “What category does this belong to on Michael Edward’s fragrance wheel?” ― Soft Amber* [May 4th edit]. Expect it to be strong and intense on vanilla and musk. Highlights “What notes are most noticeable or detectable regardless of all other criteria?” ― Tuxedo’s Fragrantica’s profile indicates prominence of bourbon vanilla, violet leaf, patchouli and ambergris. My bottle came close to this profile with additional, not–so–subtle hint of musky powder, very feminine but isn’t light or airy, more of “that old rich lady’s perfume.” I don’t want to say it’s old, granny–type since it isn’t that and may even lean masculine on some people, but it’s definitely mature, regal and predominantly old–school, not for the lighthearted, playful folks. May be more appropriate for late 20s, early 30s and up. It doesn’t scream hippie to my nose, though, just rich people with money and time to spend without worrying about cost of living–related consequences. Mood “How does it make me feel?” ― soft, laid–back, 1700s–1800s traditional–style mansions, lawyers, politicians, real estate moguls, rich ladies and gentlemen; the type of old money guys and gals that don’t need to announce their prestige, with everybody either hating on them or envying them specifically because of that laid–back attitude. It’s more bourbon vanilla than violet leaf, and more rose, coriander and ambergris than patchouli, so might be more appealing in fall and winter than summer, unless you’re in climates where there are extended winter and colder springs. Projection “How strong is this juice?” ― It managed to project something akin to a combination of soft but loud and intense throughout on me, with the intensity being more tamed after 20–30 minutes. Silage is prominent if you’re standing 2–3 feet away, but carries a soft vanillic powder when you’re 5+ feet apart, which is preferred since I don’t like anything overpowering the room. It might be a negative head–turner in very small rooms, so be sure you’re only using this where it’s airy and with a number of other people usually 3–8 feet apart at all time (e.g., nighttime outdoor events, farmhouse parties, outdoor birthday parties). Longevity “How long is its performance?” ― On my skin, it easily surpassed 3 hours without much reduction in intensity. It might be softened, yes, but retains much of the most prominent notes, especially bourbon vanilla and ambergris. After the 3rd hour, it softened into something very pleasant to my nose, a subtle elegance that brings more of that warm, woody scents. I don’t notice as much, if not at all, the supposedly‒there lily of the valley in this Twist version, with weaker notes also include black pepper. Progression “How does the scent changes after […] minutes or […] hours?” ― First few sprays were strong on rose, ambergris and bourbon vanilla, with its gradual growth into something simpler but still sophisticated, mostly bourbon vanilla, ambergris and musk, which wasn’t listed as an ingredient but somehow were scented out of the interplay of present ingredients on my skin. Occasions “Where do I wear this?” ― I’d say it’s special occasions (e.g., formal all–white dress code; farmhouse weddings) and office appropriate but might be too strong for cubeville or other closed environments where workers are only 3–5 feet apart all day everyday. You’ll want something with less projection than this if you’re aiming for subtle vanilla. You might still able to pull this off with one spray since the scent does convey elegance and professionalism. Key is to not overspray and only on your wrist and neck, you can forget the chest since it might be too strong after 2 sprays. Seasons “When during the day and year does it speak for?” ― I’d say predominantly fall and winter. If you live somewhere with colder spring days, you’ll be able to wear this longer. Nighttime works best, but colder springs’ daytime works, too. Gender “Does this lean masculine or feminine?” ― Definitely more feminine to my nose, but if you’re a vanilla and musk guy, see if this works for you. I wouldn’t recommend blind buying this one for guys, however. Order another scent that you love and ask them for the sample of this one if you can. Even better, if you have access to it, go to your closest department stores, spray and let it sit on you for 2–3 hours, see if you like the softened and subtle dries down. Vanilla and musk ladies, please jump in. May 4th, 2025 update ― So after a few weeks of owning this, the listed notes that weren’t there before for me within the first few sprays after unboxing have become more prominent, including patchouli, then black pepper and lily of the valley. They will come out during the first 5‒10 minutes, but bourbon vanilla would still be the defining note on me going 20‒30 minutes in. From this, I think it just needs a 3–4 weeks shelf time after the unboxing sprays to adjust.

This took a long time to come. It's in a really nice bottle and is a great size. The smell itself is just ok... I was expecting a more gourmand smell, but in reality it's more musk and woodsy which is ok I guess, but not at all what's advertised. Based on the description I was really hoping for sweet and spicy, but this is not either of those at all. Also smells nothing like Angle Shares. The smell later a solid 4 or 5 hours quite strong then faded to just a very faint scent. Overall it's fine, but not what I thought I was getting at all.

I would like to sincerely apologize for the negative review I left earlier. After receiving my order, I mistakenly thought I had received the wrong perfume. I didn’t realize that the box included both the full-size fragrance I ordered (a beautiful replica of Chloé) and a small sample of a different scent. Unfortunately, I judged the perfume based on the sample without carefully reading the packaging, and I thought I had been sent the wrong item. However, after taking the time to properly test the full-size perfume, I can confidently say it is absolutely identical to the original Chloé fragrance — elegant, soft, and long-lasting. I am truly impressed and very satisfied with this purchase. I will definitely be ordering again, and I want to thank the company for the quality and care they put into their products. Once again, my sincere apologies for the confusion and the earlier review. This perfume is wonderful and totally worth it. With gratitude, Patricia Santos.

Smells like the same thing

Smells better than LV Imagination i tested both and this for the price is bang on !

Edit: I received my second bottle of Lady No. 1 which is the miss dior dupe and I’m still very impressed. After trying both several times, Lady No. 1 is stronger and lasts longer. Both are not Parfum- they’re not meant to last for 8+ hours. For me they lasted anywhere from 3-6, longer on clothing. Lady No. 1 is a great dupe of Miss Dior, and it smells high quality. I’m very excited to receive the other bottles I ordered. I am so impressed by Twist so far. I’ve ordered three total but just got my first and it’s amazing. I didn’t buy them because they’re dupes so I can’t speak on accuracy for those who love luxury fragrance, I blind bought based on the price point and the clear ingredient layout. There was a slight issue with me getting the wrong tracking number but it was quickly resolved. Sky is a sweet perfume and I smell more woody and creamy notes than fruit, but it’s also quite airy (perfect for the name). Could easily be a summer perfume but even on an early fall day as well. Packaging is superb, and they give you a sample for another perfume, I got gooey dates for this one and it’s DEFINITELY a fall and winter perfume that I might have to try. I like the bottle design, it’s very classy. I know for some people, the bottle design being unique and special it’s important, so if you’re wanting a collection of fragrances that look like decor, this may not be for you but personally I don’t care about designer labels. I genuinely just wanted a good quality fragrance that lasted and wasn’t hundreds of dollars. I’m very excited to receive my next one, and I think I might be a twist customer for life!
