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!

Purchased Loving No. 48, Twist's version of J'adore. Anyone expecting a perfect copy of J'adore will probably be disappointed, but this perfume gets at least 90% of the way there and is a very cost-effective alternative. There's something weirdly sour in the top notes, which I hope will improve once this perfume has a chance to macerate; but that sour top note does not linger, so it's not a deal-breaker. The atomizer itself is EXCELLENT: a soft touch produces a very fine and controlled mist which greatly exceeds the squirt quality produced by Dior's bottles. (If you've ever tested a bottle of Chanel No. 5 L'eau, this atomizer has that same controlled quality.) The perfume also arrived with a sample of No. 192, Twist's version of Acqua Di Parma's Fico Di Amalfi. I'm not familiar with Fico Di Amalfi, and probably never would've tested it on my own, but it has some of the same fruit/jasmine/cedar notes as J'adore, and is quite nice. This is obviously a marketing strategy by Twist, but it was also an easy way to sample something new. All in all, if you really want J'adore, you should buy J'adore (which I will probably do in the future); but if your goal is to spend less money on a similar fragrance with a superior atomizer, you'll be pretty happy with Twist No. 48.

I am a huge Chanel fan and I happen to have a bottle of Chance Eau Tendre to directly compare this "inspired by" fragrance. Here is what I found. I put Twist on one wrist and Chance on the other to get the best direct comparison possible. The fragrances are similar for sure at first spray. They hit many of the same notes fresh out of the bottle but the dry down on me shows definite differences. Chanel is very soft, more floral, and lacking citrus pith sharpness. This Twist perfume is sharper by far and has way stronger bitter citrus notes. The longevity is good but I did get increasing sharpness over time that started to smell a bit chemically to my nose, similar to citronella/bug spray. The Chanel stayed soft throughout the day and tapered off in smell gradually. I actually think the Twist has more longevity but since it strays toward chemical weirdness on my skin, I don't think that's a good thing. Sorry, I'm not great at explaining scents but long/short is that Twist is sharp and more citrusy (think white kinda bitter part of the citrus) and Chance is soft and a bit more florally if that makes sense, and the longer they stay on my skin, the more the differences in the scent profiles are evident. The balance of the perfumes is way different. So here is what I came to conclusion of: Chanel is worth the money in comparison to this less expensive inspired by version for me personally. I don't hate the Twist version per se, and in fact I like it right out of the bottle, but the chemical bug spray-ish scent that comes out over time is a bit off-putting to me. This might not apply to everyone and might just be a reaction to my skin chemistry so don't completely rule out this version if you really want to try it for the price. It is not an exact dupe by a long shot but when first sprayed, does have a pleasant scent. I think personally I will retire the Twist and stick with the real deal. It might work well as a linen or air freshener spray, which is something I'll try out so I don't have to totally waste it. You can't beat the cost of Twist and it would be a great value if you find a scent that does work for you. I was very impressed with the bottle and the extra mini bottle sample of a scent that I received with the Twist perfume. You can tell they are a serious company trying their best to make inspired scents and they put effort into the packaging to make your experience receiving it very positive. This particular scent just happened to be a miss for me but I am not ruling them all out and I might try more in the future. I hope this helps someone wondering if they should take the hit to their pocketbook and head out to Chanel or order this and hope for a better scent match/skin chemistry match with this version.

Beautiful and so delicately scented, bought this for my 14-year-old and she loved it right away! The sprayer is awesome and it's a great price for 3.4oz! Will continue to buy as long as my daughter continues using it. I also want to mention that it comes with a cute, refillable trial vial with a different scent/fragrance for you to explore, the one I got smells fabulous and I’m ordering it for myself as I really enjoy it. It’s called Do Zafrica, smells elegant and expensive, very comparable to the original (Byredo’s Bal d’Afrique) a woody, slightly citrusy, floral and sweet fragrance which I love and enjoy and happy to find at a mega fraction of the price as well! I think it’s awesome and lovely! Not to mention the packaging which is a high quality hard cardboard stock box, nicely cushioned and the flap it’s magnetic. I just love it all about this brand and I’m excited to try more of its fragrances as it’s a full 3.4oz bottle for the fraction of the department store/ designer prices. Absolute Success from Twist!

Great scent and atomizer. Bottle is a great size with lots of product. I am very pleased at the scent, price, and longevity. The scent lasts about 6hrs (3hrs great projection and the other 3 are a close personal level of projection). After about 6hrs, it's only a faint scent. To me, for the price, that is perfect. By the evening, I may want a different scent anyway. I will say, if you live in a warm climate, you may get more hours. When I wore it to bed and was under the covers, it seemed like it was beast mode all the way into early evening the next day. So maybe the heat baked the scent in lol. But when I wore to work and sprayed in the morning. It was faint by the time I left work. Either way, I love the scent because its clean and fresh, very different from most vanilla, sweet perfumes I typically gravitate towards. This scent is great for everyday wear and when you want to be chill yet smell good. Wearing at work is cool but I have others that I'd prefer that make a bigger statement for work situations. I'd use this one for weekends, nights in, grocery shopping or things like that.

I’ve tried several Gypsy Water dupes over the years, including Oakcha and ALT, and this one absolutely blows them out of the water. The realism is the closest I’ve ever smelled to the original Byredo — the bergamot, juniper, and vanilla come through clean, bright, and perfectly balanced without that synthetic edge some dupes have. Longevity is where this really surprised me. Most dupes fade after a couple hours on my skin, but this lasted nearly all day with a soft, airy trail that smelled expensive the entire time. It settles beautifully and doesn’t turn powdery or overly sweet. For the price, the quality is incredible. If you love Gypsy Water or you’re searching for the most accurate, long-lasting version of it without paying designer prices, this is the best one I’ve found. I’d repurchase without a doubt

Great value for the price you pay. The bottle is more than big enough to last awhile. The Gooey Dates scent is divine. It's indulgent, deep, and very warm. This very much has a sticky, burnt caramel scent that doesn't feel overwhelming. It lasts a decent bit throughout the day, but I don't love perfumes that will smack people in the face when you walk in a room, not everyone likes what you like, so to me, the subtleness after a while is perfect. Overall, I will shop from this brand, especially if I'm just wanting to try new things. On another note, it came packaged in a beautiful & sturdy box, so this would be wonderful to gift.
