Twilly Eau Ginger, the fragrance of a free young woman Twilly d’Hermès evokes several things at once. First, in the early 2000s, it was the name of a new Carré de Soie, with an atypical, elongated silhouette. Indeed, the Twilly is the smallest scarf made by the house Hermès.
Presented in a sun-kissed yellow bottle, the fragrance Twilly Eau Ginger has no shortage of appeal and radiates cheerfulness, whether in the message it carries, its design or its scent. A symbol of freedom, it captures the pop spirit of today's young women and olfactorily expresses a radiant, cheerful personality. Twilly Eau Ginger makes one want to laugh out loud and seize life to the fullest. But how does this materialize on the olfactory level? A breakdown of its composition.
Ginger, the central element of the fragrance Twilly Eau Ginger
As the name of this fragrance suggests, its central raw material is none other than ginger. Usually used in cooking, it here takes on an entirely different form. Ginger pushes past its limits and this time claims a different character. Known for its aphrodisiac qualities, it here elevates a sun-kissed, untamable personality. For Twilly Eau Ginger, Christine Nagel, director of creation and olfactory heritage at Hermès Parfums since January 1, 2016, preserved its fiery side while softening its texture. She wanted, in short, to make it say something else. The result is a ginger with a more pronounced, floral femininity. Cheerful and playful, the ginger reveals itself as slightly salty, which brings out all the delicacy and subtlety of this composition. With its candied side, it also lends more roundness to Twilly Eau Ginger.
The floral and woody character of Twilly Eau Ginger
Twilly Eau Ginger is not a fragrance designed as a soliflore. Consequently, ginger is not the only note showcased. It is enhanced by other raw materials such as peony and cedar. A symbol of delicacy, peony is a fleeting spring flower. It lends Twilly Eau Ginger d’Hermès a fresher, more radiant femininity. Blooming in gardens from May to June, peony is subtly scented. Opulent and tender, it is both discreet and highly inspiring. Far from being heady, this material here contributes to the subtlety of this recipe.
At its base, Twilly Eau Ginger releases a more woody note. A staple of perfumery, cedar is present in more than half of current fragrances. Dry and vibrant, it lends a structure and an undeniable elegance here. It acts, in short, as a support for this fragrance and clearly enhances its longevity over the hours.
Twilly Eau Ginger is designed with a new twist on the principle of three materials woven together in a spirit of subversion, irreverence and fantasy. With a generous, vibrant recomposed peony, a bright, candied ginger and a lively, supple cedar. I worked them by softening them, tenderizing them to give them a more youthful edge, explains Christine Nagel.
