Twilly returns in a peppery fragrance. Hermès is one of the greatest French creative houses, within which five generations of artisan entrepreneurs have followed one another.
The Hermès house has always been committed to offering bottles that are both classic and highly distinctive. From Eau d'Hermès in the 1950s to the sublime creations of Jean-Claude Ellena with the Parfums-Jardins collection, Hermès remains synonymous with quality and originality. And the arrival of the house's new in-house perfumer, Christine Nagel, does nothing to prove otherwise, as Twilly brings a fresh, spirited breeze to young Hermès women.
Twilly Eau Poivrée, Christine Nagel's new irreverence for Hermès
For Twilly, Christine Nagel wanted to bring to life, in fragrance form, the pretty little Hermès square of the same name that young women tie as they please, sometimes in their hair, around their wrist or their arm, depending on their mood of the day. The idea was to offer them a concentrate of good mood and spontaneity while continuing to convey the house's quality and luxurious spirit.
It is an ode to today's young women, through which she wanted to express their joyful impertinence, their fantasy; but the key word of this creation is freedom, echoing “beloved freedom,” a founding value of the house of Hermès. Christine Nagel on Twilly in Femmes du Maroc.com.
And this pretty Twilly sweeps us away with disconcerting ease into its wonderful world where spicy ginger rubs shoulders with a soft, feminine tuberose flower, where icy cold meets warmth through ultra sensual sandalwood depths.
So what about this new Twilly Eau Poivrée, released for fall 2019? Of course, it still plays on the warm-cold contrasts of its predecessor, but it goes even further by offering a rose that, for the first time, forgets its classic face to become bolder than ever!
A rose that claims its freedom for Twilly Eau Poivrée
For Twilly, Christine Nagel had already created surprise by revealing tuberose through facets as icy as they were fiery; for Twilly Eau Poivrée, it is this time the great classic flower of feminine perfumery, rose, that takes on the air of a modern princess, caught between warmth and coolness.
To offer an opening that would take us by surprise, Twilly Eau Poivrée opens straightaway on a burst of sharp, sparkling pink pepper notes. At the heart, the pretty rose plays the star of the moment, confronting the pepper to become spicy and explosive, far, very far from the feminine fragrances in which it once played the delicate flower and the precious beauty. Finally, in place of sandalwood, Christine Nagel decided to go even further into sensuality with patchouli base notes, which give this Twilly Eau Poivrée an irresistible, unforgettable new strength that definitively counterbalances the freshness of the top notes that greeted us up to that point.
