Miu Miu Twist

I had this and liked it, but ended up giving it to my mom. I much prefer Miu Miu L'eau Rosee, with its (what i smell as) grapefruit pepper notes. Miu Miu Twist is actually similar to it, but with apple instead of grapefruit, and only the faintest pepper. It's pretty and fruity sweet, but just not "me." So I'm the L'eau Rosee girl and my mom is the Twist girl. I think it's kind of a cute idea for best friends, sisters or mom & daughter to do these 2 fragrances when you hang out together, because they compliment each other, rather than competing or clashing. It's an idea that I've heard and think is cool for couples, so why not buddies, too?

Youthful, fresh and extremely day friendly (office). Really reminds me of Gucci Flora "Gorgeous Gardenia" but a bit woodier and muskier with heavier amber notes. Don't get me wrong though, there is nothing heavy about this at all. Very feminine and summery. Perfect for walking hand in hand with your love to go to get an ice cream.

This is interesting! I sprayed it on a clean tissue and it instantly reminded me of those Wet Ones hand wipes, the ones in the yellow packaging, which are citrus scented. Now, I'm typically not one for citrus based scents, but I'm finding that I actually enjoy the smell of bergamot and this has it in abundance. I'm not sure I would buy a full bottle of this, but the sample does smell promising.

I just love the vibe of the Miu Miu brand and that is why I blind bought on ebay. It instantly reminded me of a perfume I've smelled before when I first sprayed it. Then it hit me!! It totally has a tiny bit of the vibe of Fantasy by Britney Spears. Believe me it's nowhere near as sweet as Fantasy and it is unique in its own right. But it still has elements of it. Actually, its initial notes are just like the drydown of Fantasy. It's like is a way less sweet, less gourmand version of it with more peppery, more woody notes and musk. It has a sweet warm cozy vibe but the woody notes and fruity notes keep it fresh.

After several hours of wear this has settled into a sweet, amber-ey musk on me and, while still there, it's close to the skin. The musk has a whisper of baby powder to me, albeit faint. It was indecipherably sweet upon opening and is seemingly inoffensive. Seems casual to me, and because it lacks a little in projection, I think it's fine for summer heat. The image it conjures for me is a woman who possibly doesn't work outside the home, a loving mom with young kids involved in activities, driving between market, school and sports in t-shirt and jeans. This is her daytime - not when she's dressed to go out. I'll keep the sample for throwing in a purse cosmetic bag, but won't make room for a full bottle.
