Horribly under-appreciated scent
I don't think Tutti Twilly smells like cat pee or b.o.! To me it smells like a photorealistic tropical fruit (probably lychee, right?) And a lot of times those fruits do have a bit of a funkiness to them even when fresh and not rotting, at least that's where my scent memory goes. I guess if you're more used to smelling cat pee and body odor than fruits, that's what you'll associate with this. I love the ginger flower note too, so beautiful and effervescent.
This reminds me of some of the vintage fruity-florals I've been sampling lately, not in the actual scent profile, necessarily, but the quality of having something sweet and bright and maybe a little confusing up top, with the animalic notes underneath. Today's audience is likely not used to these qualities anymore and expect everything to smell either like straight up laundry, or candy. I applaud Christine Nagel for having the creativity and vision to put forth something potentially polarizing and different. It really is pleasing, though, but perhaps it's all in the attitude.
I think this might even be a masterpiece and I am definitely going to buy someone's bottle they're desperately getting rid of for next to nothing because they didn't try it before they bought it.
