TwistSugar Me No. 109 - Inspired by Prada's Candy, Long-Lasting Perfume for Women, Vegan, Clean Ingredients, Caramel & Vanilla Fragrance – Spray 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.

This is a great dupe. Has a light, citrus smell initially but the tea scent comes forward. I’ve tried LV Imagination before and this is very close. My only complaint would be that it doesn’t last very long, but that’s the case with all citrus scents. Great value for your money.Also, the vaporizer is awesome. I’ve never had one with such a fine mist.

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.

I am a huge Chanel fan and I happen to have a bottle of Chance Eau Tendre to directly compare this "inspired by" fragrance. Here is what I found. I put Twist on one wrist and Chance on the other to get the best direct comparison possible.The fragrances are similar for sure at first spray. They hit many of the same notes fresh out of the bottle but the dry down on me shows definite differences. Chanel is very soft, more floral, and lacking citrus pith sharpness. This Twist perfume is sharper by far and has way stronger bitter citrus notes. The longevity is good but I did get increasing sharpness over time that started to smell a bit chemically to my nose, similar to citronella/bug spray. The Chanel stayed soft throughout the day and tapered off in smell gradually. I actually think the Twist has more longevity but since it strays toward chemical weirdness on my skin, I don't think that's a good thing. Sorry, I'm not great at explaining scents but long/short is that Twist is sharp and more citrusy (think white kinda bitter part of the citrus) and Chance is soft and a bit more florally if that makes sense, and the longer they stay on my skin, the more the differences in the scent profiles are evident. The balance of the perfumes is way different.So here is what I came to conclusion of: Chanel is worth the money in comparison to this less expensive inspired by version for me personally. I don't hate the Twist version per se, and in fact I like it right out of the bottle, but the chemical bug spray-ish scent that comes out over time is a bit off-putting to me. This might not apply to everyone and might just be a reaction to my skin chemistry so don't completely rule out this version if you really want to try it for the price. It is not an exact dupe by a long shot but when first sprayed, does have a pleasant scent. I think personally I will retire the Twist and stick with the real deal. It might work well as a linen or air freshener spray, which is something I'll try out so I don't have to totally waste it. You can't beat the cost of Twist and it would be a great value if you find a scent that does work for you.I was very impressed with the bottle and the extra mini bottle sample of a scent that I received with the Twist perfume. You can tell they are a serious company trying their best to make inspired scents and they put effort into the packaging to make your experience receiving it very positive. This particular scent just happened to be a miss for me but I am not ruling them all out and I might try more in the future. I hope this helps someone wondering if they should take the hit to their pocketbook and head out to Chanel or order this and hope for a better scent match/skin chemistry match with this version.
