Bal d'Afrique + Patch + Fantasy = Perfection!

This is such a hidden gem! I think the notes list and bottle design are a bit misleading, so maybe that's why it isn't talked about often. First of all, Twist is not a typical pink scent, if I had to assign colors to it, I'd chose dark green and bright yellow. And second, I smell several things here that aren't listed at all.

To my nose this a woodsy, peppery, even patchouli-infused pineapple scent with a warm and sweet base underneath. Maybe the pineapple-like impression comes from the bergamot mixed with sweeter notes, I definitely also get something citrusy here. But I really wonder where the black pepper and patch I smell are coming from.
The drydown has a clean and creamy texture thanks to the white musk, so this doesn't turn too sour and spicy. The amber in this is sweet and vanillic.

I first took notice of this because it has many votes as similar to Byredo Bal d'Afrique, a fragrance I love but find very expensive for what it is. Well, these two are not the same, but they are related. Twist is sweeter, heavier and more feminine leaning, especially in the drydown. The opening is quite androgynous for a female designer release. Bal d'Afrique is very much a summer scent to me, while Twist is more versatile.
As I live in a cooler part of the world and love sweet scents, I bought Twist and don't feel like I need Bal d'Afrique anymore.

When I first read on another site that some reviewers find this similar to Britney Spears Fantasy, I thought "no way". But then I sniffed my wrist again and suddenly I can detect hints of Fantasy in the base. Not a lot though. Imagine Bal d'Afrique mixed with a huge dose of peppery patch and a small dash of Fantasy, and you're pretty close to what Twist smells like.

Apple and Amber Laundry Musk

The opening is a little sharp with that punch of Apple Blossom, sweet Tonka and Violet nuances. But as it settles it becomes more hazy and rounded with that creamy Cedar and amber backbone. It really projects well. I love the soft musks used in this too. They meld the whole formulation together and round of any edges. Making it fluffy and gentle in texture.

Dance Class

In my childhood, the "Twist" became popular - and at every party, we twisted as much as we could.
My older cousin taught me how to spin on the balls of my feet, which worked best in stockings and on smooth floors.
Just think of the legendary twist scene with John Travolta and Uma Thurman in Pulp Fiction.
Wonderful.
Our twist attempts were probably not legendary - but we enjoyed ourselves.
And so is the scent.
Not legendary, but it is fun.
Sweet fruits provide a lift, nestled in soft tonka and framed by slightly smoky cedar.
It cheerfully accompanies you through everyday life - without heaviness and unobtrusively.
Such cheerful, uncomplicated scents are also good sometimes.

Starts strong and then fades away

I received a sample of "Miu Miu Twist" as a bonus for a purchase from @Julia142. Thank you for that.

At first, I was impressed by the scent. Fruity fragrances are not necessarily my thing. But this one starts with a very fresh and beautiful combination of bergamot and apple. At this point, it reminded me a bit of "Club de Nuit Sillage," but without its slight animalic note.

Unfortunately, this freshness is gone after a relatively short time. I agree with @Julia142 that it has hints of musk afterwards, as it becomes creamier but also a bit harsher. So far, so still quite good.

However, over time, this creaminess also fades away. What remains is a citrusy, somewhat harsher, and in my opinion quite synthetic sweetness, which unfortunately also weakens very quickly and becomes very close to the skin.

To be honest, I don't perceive anything from the heart and base notes at all. If they were to play a role, the fragrance might be more interesting.

The scent is in a similar price range as "Club de Nuit Sillage," but with less content. I think, to stick with the comparison, that you get more and longer-lasting enjoyment from the latter for the same price.

This fragrance is also a nice example for me that I do not share the division into men's and women's fragrances. I think any man can wear this well.

Twists and Turns

If I hadn't encountered this fragrance as a sample in a minimalist glass spray, we probably would have never met. Because although I find the bottle beautiful, it shouts: Not for you, Sugarspun! I proudly stand on a pedestal, the cut glass sparkles in the sun, the logo prominently displayed on the cap; this is for the refined ladies!

Twist #1: This is not the heavy scent of luxury and diamond brooches. Here, the refined lady takes off her pumps to step barefoot into the cool stream, so refreshing is the opening. Although synthetic, it is citrusy, green, and clear with a hint of dark melancholy, not very sweet. The apple blossom shampoo associations are met with the rather austere, straightforward bergamot leaf. The fresh euphoria of the flowers is grounded by the woody notes that take over afterwards.

Twist #2: Enter cedarwood. Has a well-scented gentleman sneaked in here? No, that's me! And what about this delicately pink-tinted liquid? I'm starting to feel dizzy. A straightforward, even serious woodiness unfolds, still hand in hand with a light citrus note, becoming softer and deeper. A focused scent, a cool breeze on the first warm days of the year.

With its unexpected facets, the fragrance is also versatile: It suits the little black dress as well as jeans, for the office, a trip to the countryside, in a chic restaurant, and at a punk concert. Gender, age? Irrelevant! A good example of what marketing does to us.

Twist #3: After a long day, I lie in bed, suddenly a delicate cream scent on my wrist. Still a twist? Yes! Barely noticeable, but beautifully subtle and flattering, once again completely unexpected. Because if I have one complaint about this fragrance, it is its lack of subtlety; despite its style breaks, it comes across as quite loud and linear, lacking that final refinement. At this point, a warning regarding dosage: The spray head of my 50ml bottle is exceptionally potent, one spray is enough!

All in all, a good match, the twist and I. We will spend a lovely spring together, in the height of summer it might become too heavy, but it could fit again with the autumn leaves. I look forward to what’s to come. Further plot twists not excluded!

Nice summer-sun-beach scent. A bit exotic due to the combo of tonka and apple/bergamot. Warm fruity without much sweetness.

Gentle spring awakening in a delicate pink sea of flowers... Sun kisses, radiant blue sky, pink wind swirls - that's what Twist smells like!

Guys! This one is really good! Super cozy musk, a good dose of pepper, and a hint of fruit. Versatile yet special.
Skin test!

The similarity to Bal d'Afrique is definitely there. I prefer Twist because Bal d'Afrique lasts on me no more than 30 min. Twist lasts longer.

I smell bitter marigold, bergamot/grapefruit, clean musk, warm amber with a lot of (cedar) woodiness. Bal d'Italia. Zesty.

Just sprayed it in the drugstore and I'm thrilled. Floral and clean, it appeals to me. Already feminine but I would wear it personally :)

Not a hint of pink, instead spicy woods and fresh green. Reminds me a lot of Bal d'Afrique Eau de Parfum.

A unisex scent! Unfortunately, I bought it blind and I'm disappointed because it's too masculine on my skin! The beautiful feminine bottle doesn't match the fragrance!
