Granddaughter of Opium
Oh, Twilly has a new one! The content pleases my eye in colour better than the original scent. Sassy pink instead of soft orange. Scent taken from the shelf and sprayed on. My nose likes it on my skin better than on the test strip. Doesn't happen often.
Arrived home and still surrounded by a light cloud. Comfort factor Check.
And suddenly the smell evokes something in me, oh dearest grandma, is it you?
No, not the way you think now. Twilly Poivree is not at all a fragrance for old ladies (maybe so, but not only ;) ). Rather, it reminds me of my grandmother at a young age, which I can only relate to from stories and photos. Just as it existed in my imagination:
A cheeky young woman, natural red hair, butterfly glasses, brown dress with white dots. Always well dressed, always cheerful and full of energy, like the pink pepper, which is the first thing you notice during the fragrance development and is by no means missable.
She knew what she wanted. Confident and sovereign. Always driven by courage, daring and strength. She pursued her goals passionately and with heart. The young rose as a sign of passion in the heart note gives the fragrance a passionate direction, which makes the scent seductive and warm.
Her freckles and her gap in her teeth made people recognize her. Her cheeky, striking manner remained in the memory. Most people probably overlooked her cheeky nature, as she had so much charm that everything was laid out for her good. Patchouli in the base note lends the fragrance stubbornness. Granted - it is intensive and not everyone's cup of tea. But in combination with pink pepper and rose it appears unusually harmonious and almost meek. Just so that you have to like him - at least in this combination.
Why I suddenly had to think of my grandmother when I took a close look at the scent, I now understand. Twilly Eau Poivree represents exactly how I imagined my grandmother to be when I was young. And perhaps it is the interplay of pepper and patchouli that awakens in me an association with opium by Yves Saint Laurent (1977). She had always worn this scent. Whether she also put on perfume in her youth, I dare to doubt, but Eau Poivree would certainly have pleased her.
I would have loved to show her the Twilly Eau Poivree, which unfortunately is no longer possible. Perhaps it is now my job as granddaughter Twilly Eau Poivree to wear it with devotion, passion and pride, always reminding me a little of her. Just as Twilly Eau Poivree reminds us of an apparent granddaughter of opium.
My grandma - a power woman. Hermes Twilly Eau Poivree - an Esprit fragrance with recognition value!
PS. I explain the mediocre satisfaction with this fragrance so far in a way that it does not suit all skin types. With some people it does not really unfold as beautifully. So testing is worthwhile, perhaps he will select several potential carriers for himself. :)
