Twilly d’Hermès is the new women’s perfume inspired by the iconic narrow silk scarves available in colorful prints. Twilly d’Hermès is developed by perfumer Christine Nagel with the desire to make an optimistic, lively and youthful fresh floral but not ordinary scent.
The fragrance is a tuberose bomb which opens with a blast of bright fresh ginger. It features an interesting tuberose based around lactonic notes (rather than medicinal notes) resting in a sultry bed of vanilla and amber.

It isnt possible to purchase this atm but will definetly do in the future!
This looks and sounds really promissing, cant wait to try it out.
The Bottle of it is really cool too
Yeah it was a really nice departure from all the “Jardin” fragrances that had gone before it by Jean Claude Ellena. Have you smelled Twilly? It is really fascinating – it is one of the few perfumes that I bought immediately upon smelling it because it was unique. I did a similar thing with Aura by Thierry Mugler which was so unusual I had to buy it.
Unfortunately i have not smelled it yet.
Its not easy to find good fragrance Stores where i live
When you get a chance: do. Same with Aura – it’s weird but spellbinding. Your samples shouldn’t be too far away by the way.
I will definetly do that. Im in a bigger City next week, will try to get a sniff there!
And thats fantastic News!
I got the samples!
I am in love with the Parma Violet base, please make it available as fast as possible.
Just tried Clinique Happy with the Mandarin and Pear base, works out really well!
I have to say the Neroli base smells allmost like real Neroli oil from Hermitage oils, a bit more bitter.
When the PSH order arrives i will try the pineapple base in your aventus formula!
The rose base has more facettes than Rose Wardia for example, really like that, got more depth to it
Great! The bases all have a LOT of naturals – far more than is normal these days. The effect is really obvious in the Wardia base as the genuine rose de mai absolute adds a dimension very much lacking in the commercial version today. I am finalizing some formulas right now so that hopefully I will be ready to start selling these in larger amounts before too long. All of the bases you mention will be for sale, as will a pineapple base that is similar to the Aventus one but more refined and perfected. I’ll also be selling a… Read more »
Happy to hear that. Please let us know when all this will be available. Thanks!
I am considering buying this but can you please give me a quick overview of some of the materials? What type of ginger and tuberose does it use? Naturals or bases, fresh ginger? Thank you!
Hey Renee, The tuberose and ginger are both built in – no bases are used in this formula. It is a complex formula but nothing that isn’t relatively easy to acquire or beyond the typical perfumer’s palette.
Ok Thank you!
Though I am waiting on a few materials to arrive, I am already intrigued by this take on tuberose. Surprisingly fresh and the ginger note is so clever and unique. Beautiful as always!
100%. I’m sure you’ll love it – it’s such a well put together fragrance.
Hi Jamie – Great formula – I didn’t have a couple of the ingredients which I skipped or replaced with a few others for this first attempt (e.g. florol). And apart from thinking that my ginger isn’t up to the part, I love it. I think it doesn’t last as long as Twilly (at least not at my 10% dilution – probably should double that) but I love it and since i added a bit of cassis base on top, it is very fresh and even suitable for the warmer time.
If it’s for your own wear I’d definitely ramp up the dilution! I go crazy with my own ones to be honest 🙂 You could try out some other musks too for added longevity – such as a touch of civetone. Even at under 0.1% it makes a difference. I use fresh ginger – it can definitely tolerate it. I can definitely appreciate your addition of Cassis base – it is one of those magical bases that can improve most things even in traces. Thanks for the tip!
Hello, seems like there is polvolide in the formula, but it is impossible to get polvolide online, so what are the options we have?
if you really can’t find it, substitute muscenone or velvione – whichever you prefer. You’ll get a nicer result (in terms of boost and bloom) with muscenone I think but velvione will be a lovely part of the dry down too.
Hi Jamie,
I am preparing to put this formula together having gathered nearly all of the components. A couple of questions: Is the Cetalox the pure undiluted crystals? For the Caryophellene A.A. do you feel I could Methyl Isoeugenol or Methyl diantilis? I will not have that one until I order from Penta. Also have Cinnamon CO2 at 10% (ish….)and clove CO2 which I have not diluted yet.
Cinnamon and clove CO2 are all good – I love the spice CO2 extractions and use cardamom CO2 quite often. Cetalox are solid crystals yes – you can just add them directly (or melt and use Ambrox DL if you have that only). For caryophellene it is a tough call – methyl diantilis is a little sweet – methyl isoeugenol might be the better option.
Hi, Jamie. Galaxolide is at 100%? Thanks.
Yup – everything is always 100% unless otherwise specified.
Thanks, Jamie. Damn, I just can’t find MNK, I ran out of Octyl Acetate and Methyl Benzoate too. What do you advise me, omit all three? Do I add a touch of my Ylang base that has a lot of MB? Or a touch of a very nice tuberose lactonic base? Thanks again.
I’d use a bit of a tuberose base – it would definitely be a nice addition I’m sure. And do try to get MNK – it is a pretty useful material for many things – not just this. IF you can, nerolin or yara yara would also be able to substitute a little in different quantities or even at a very reduced quantity coumarone (NOTE: this is not a typo, I don’t mean coumarin) though that has a distinct tonka bean note with an orange flower nuance.
Just got this one. Looks interesting and challenging but unfortunately a few chemicals that are very hard if not impossible to get. Such as ingredient number 11, 12, 37 (is that norlimbanol?), 38, 48(you already said use muscenone for this one). Please help me out with these. Either a source or replacement. Thanks
Update: Thanks to Perfumer Supply House samples, I got ingredient 11. I also got galbanolene super which i was missing for GIT. So for this formula, besides polvolide, and the one that looks like norlimbanol, only 2 ingredients are not to be found: 12th one and 38.
You can leave out 12 and substitute amberXTreme 1% for item 38 to good effect (or omit).
Hey Jamie,
About to make this perfume, I have to order 3 ingredients first.
Substituting nr.16 for Lyral (although I have nr.16)..is it worth it you think?
Nr.18 …corps, what does that mean? I assume using the regular (m) a.c. is ok?
You said the Tuberose is build in…is it wise to add a fraction of terrific tuberose base from PK or the base mentioned in the pdf of this formula?
