Our take

My Twist opens with a sharp, candied pop of black currant and orange, the fruit so glossy it feels lacquered. Within minutes, the tuberose bulldozes through, creamy and indolic, backed by neroli’s bitter twist and a jasmine that hums with green-flecked pollen. The base is a predictable vanilla-musk plushness, but what saves it is an animalic edge, a faint furry warmth that keeps the whole thing from turning into a marshmallow. Overall, this is a party dress that’s slightly too tight; it wants to be a bombshell but whispers instead. The longevity barely clears three hours, and the sillage hovers like a polite cough, you’ll need to respray for any real impact. It feels synthetic in the best budget-friendly way, like a Zara dupe of a more expensive tuberose bomb, but it lacks the depth to justify its “oriental floral” label. This suits someone who wants a cheerful, fruity-floral for a brunch date or a breezy spring afternoon, skip it if you crave lasting power or anything subversive. Wear it on a cool fall day when you’re indoors and close to people, it shines in the huddle but evaporates in the open air.
