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.

Season No. 59 is hands down an amazing scent! Those top notes start a little sweet, the freshness and floral notes of the jasmine and tuberose kick in for the middle, but it’s those warm and rich base notes of vanilla and sandalwood that drive this fragrance home for me. It also has this balance of sophistication and sexiness that both men and women can wear (depending on body chemistry). Overall, it’s a great scent to be worn year-round with its light and soft, yet warm palette. Even though it is on the lighter side, it did last all day for me. I’ll definitely purchase another scent, but I think this will be my go to for quite some time now.

Deuce No. 52 based on Yves Saint Laurent TuxedoOverall ― It’s a dense and boozy vanilla; isn’t light, airy or sweet, just carries itself as laid–back, rich, not necessarily dark but with depth and socially contrasting complexity that might be associated with “typical rich and shallow people,” “daddy’s money,” “old”, “old money,” “classic rich old ladies,” “every present–day grannies who were considered ‘sexy’ and ‘captivating’ in the 80s and early 90s,” “cocky lawyers,” “insufferable rich lawyers,” “unapologetically rich,” “legally blonde’s overly rich parents and McMansion.” The only reason why I don’t give this a full 5 star is because I was in the market for a better balanced of warm vanilla and fresh notes, which this doesn’t come quite as close.Profile “What category does this belong to on Michael Edward’s fragrance wheel?” ― Floral amber, so expect it to be strong and intense on vanilla and musk.Highlights “What notes are most noticeable or detectable regardless of all other criteria?” ― Tuxedo’s Fragrantica’s profile indicates prominence of bourbon vanilla, violet leaf, patchouli and ambergris. My bottle came close to this profile with additional, not–so–subtle hint of musky powder, very feminine but isn’t light or airy, more of “that old rich lady’s perfume.” I don’t want to say it’s old, granny–type since it isn’t that and may even lean masculine on some people, but it’s definitely mature, regal and predominantly old–school, not for the lighthearted, playful folks. May be more appropriate for late 20s, early 30s and up. It doesn’t scream hippie to my nose, though, just rich people with money and time to spend without worrying about cost of living–related consequences.Mood “How does it make me feel?” ― soft, laid–back, 1700s–1800s traditional–style mansions, lawyers, politicians, real estate moguls, rich ladies and gentlemen; the type of old money guys and gals that don’t need to announce their prestige, with everybody either hating on them or envying them specifically because of that laid–back attitude. It’s more bourbon vanilla than violet leaf, and more rose, coriander and ambergris than patchouli, so might be more appealing in fall and winter than summer, unless you’re in climates where there are extended winter and colder springs.Projection “How strong is this juice?” ― It managed to project something akin to a combination of soft but loud and intense throughout on me, with the intensity being more tamed after 20–30 minutes. Sillage is prominent if you’re standing 2–3 feet away, but carries a soft vanillic powder when you’re 5+ feet apart, which is preferred since I don’t like anything overpowering the room. It might be a negative head–turner in very small rooms, so be sure you’re only using this where it’s airy and with a number of other people usually 3–8 feet apart at all time (e.g., nighttime outdoor events, farmhouse parties, outdoor birthday parties).Longevity “How long is its performance?” ― On my skin, it easily surpassed 3 hours without much reduction in intensity. It might be softened, yes, but retains much of the most prominent notes, especially bourbon vanilla and ambergris. After the 3rd hour, it softened into something very pleasant to my nose, a subtle elegance that brings more of that warm, woody scents. I don’t notice as much, if not at all, the supposedly there lily of the valley in this Twist version, with weaker notes include black pepper.Progression “How does the scent changes after […] minutes or […] hours?” ― First few sprays were strong on rose, ambergris and bourbon vanilla, with its gradual growth into something simpler but still sophisticated, mostly bourbon vanilla, ambergris and musk, which wasn’t listed as an ingredient but somehow were scented out of the interplay of present ingredients on my skin.Occasions “Where do I wear this?” ― I’d say it’s special occasions (e.g., formal all–white dress code; farmhouse weddings) and office appropriate but might be too strong for cubeville or other closed environments where workers are only 3–5 feet apart all day everyday. You’ll want something with less projection than this if you’re aiming for subtle vanilla. You might still able to pull this off with one spray since the scent does convey elegance and professionalism. Key is to not overspray and only on your wrist and neck, you can forget the chest since it might be too strong after 2 sprays.Seasons “When during the day and year does it speak for?” ― I’d say predominantly fall and winter. If you live somewhere with colder spring days, you’ll be able to wear this longer. Nighttime works best, but colder springs’ daytime works, too.Gender “Does this lean masculine or feminine?” ― Definitely more feminine to my nose, but if you’re a vanilla and musk guy, see if this works for you. I wouldn’t recommend blind by this one for guys, however. Order another scent that you love and ask them for the sample of this one if you can. Even better, if you have access to it, go to your closest department stores, spray and let it sit on you for 2–3 hours, see if you like the softened and subtle dries down. Vanilla and musk ladies, please jump in.
