Twist Royal No. 86 - Eau De Parfum Inspired by Replica M. Margiela's By The Fireplace, Long-Lasting Perfume For Women & Men, Paraben Free, Vegan, Clean Ingredients, Unisex - 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.

Smells just like Bianco Latte! I have a small sample and it smells just like it. The sample is in a vial so I just dab it on. The original smells a tiny bit sweeter right away while the Twist one has a slight alcohol smell when sprayed. The alcohol smell lasts for about 5-10 seconds and goes away after drying, leaving the actual perfume scent behind. It dries to smell just like the sample. The sample may not have that alcohol smell since it's not being sprayed, just dabbed on. But this is the best dupe of a scent I have smelled in a long time. It is sweet, rich, and creamy as well as long lasting. I will be trying the Cheriosa 62 version (Rio de Janeiro) soon!

Honestly, I was pretty skeptical buying this because of all the other reviews being super happy about it, but I’m so glad I did, to start it off, I’ve never smelled Chanel blue before but every time I put this cologne on it’s so refreshing, the smell is absolutely amazing, not as strong as I’d like but good enough to know lightness will linger. Only downside that everyone else will agree with is how long the scent lasts. It does seem to be about 4-5 hour quality before the scent literally feels like it “rubs off” even with a heavy spray dosage, but at the price point and how remarkable the scent is, it truly makes up for it. I will definitely be buying more products especially if they’re at the fraction of the price the real ones are going for. Also really a big fan of the packaging and everything that was put into the bottle with a really nice display, biggest thing for me was they send you a random “test tube” for the next fragrance to keep in mind, those are literally the little things that makes you wanna keep coming back knowing you’re paying a good price for such a high end product. I hope in the future the fragrance can linger all day and have a stronger smell to it, but all in all, im super happy with twist and everything they have to offer.
