Tutti Twilly d’Hermès by Hermès

I liked it, but I should test it more; I expected much more than what I felt.

First off: test it on your skin; the difference from paper is huge. Yes, it starts smelling like sweat—not unpleasant, but if it lingers on ‘cat pee,’ it’s hard to shake that image. It’s not delicate; it’s just at the opening. For those who can’t handle typical sweet scents, this could be a rough ride. Over time, that part fades, leaving a pleasant tropical, fruity, and fresh aroma. It’s not crazy, it’s just… it doesn’t deserve all the hate. It lasts well, evolves, and you can really notice the notes. It’s worth a try; everyone will see if it works for them.

For those who have enjoyed a good wine… do you remember the first time? Did you never think all reds tasted the same? Did you never see crazy sommeliers spotting exotic notes when others only noticed tannins and alcohol? One day, without knowing when, that changes. You start giving the wine time, letting it breathe to oxygenate, and you feel its fruity, woody, and spicy touches better. You feel like the wine changes, but really, it’s your nose gaining experience through time. Why am I telling you this? Because Hermes, Lalique, Trussardi, Comme des Garçons, and Diptyque are my favorite houses, and they share two things: photorealism (if that fits in perfumery) and originality. To understand them, you need PATIENCE and let the perfume ‘work’ on your olfactory bulb. You know what? Since I enjoyed my fellow reviewers’ posts, I confessed that when I got it, I thought: how do I say this can’t be judged in 5 minutes at the store? You have to let it breathe and rest. I decided to wait, and it was so satisfying to read how others realized the same thing in a flash. Wow, long live Hermes for not boring us! I recognize another merit: creating something complex and mutable with few notes. It’s HARD, like standing out in MasterChef with a French omelet. Either you’re a master, or you’re a mess. This TUTTI has a complicated lychee opening with ginger that seems like an obstacle but isn’t. The perfumer plays with evaporation times to bring the lychee up to the cortex and then let it fall into a bed of velvety musk, like a rollercoaster. We go from horror at the peak to the pleasure of safety below… A nearly silky and beautiful finish for the nose. What a great perfume, simple but not for everyone because it’s very its own. Longevity? 10 hours. Projection and sillage? Two hours and medium trail. Not bad; you can’t expect less at these prices. Buy it! 🍷 And remember: PATIENCE, like when you meet someone special or stop in a park to breathe, because patience is the mother of sciences and ESSENCES. 😉 If you like my reviews, follow my TikTok: Chuliá Parfum Reviews @chulia.my13parfums

Wow, a perfume that, as the reviews indicate, has spicy—even unpleasant—top notes in my case; it smelled like sweat. But after letting it settle, it left a sweet, fresh, soft, and pleasant scent. To me, it’s a subtle fragrance and highly recommended for those who prefer something feminine and girly. Perfect for a hot summer day.

From the original Twilly, which stole my heart, to the ginger one, which I find precious and addictive… comes Tutti, not knowing what to expect, because I can’t handle the pepper… I only did one test, on skin. I have to go back and repeat it, with nothing else. But it smelled like ‘dirty’ watermelon, and I couldn’t stop smelling myself the whole way. Between liking and disliking. I don’t know what it should be. But it has personality, it does. Edited. I’ve smelled it again, this time without smelling anything else, on skin. It smells wonderful on me, better than the original (which I like a lot) and than the ginger one (which I’m passionate about). This time I really smell the ginger and licorice. I don’t know the sillage, but if you want it to feel like you’re in an exotic garden and a bit sweet and fresh, it’s perfect.

A friend has it and I tried it. She said it was exquisite, so I read the reviews; I couldn’t help laughing because everyone hated it. Exquisite? Not even close. At first, I smelled strong lychee, thought ‘okay, I’m not a fan but it’s not bad’… but after five minutes, it wasn’t lychee anymore, it smelled like horror. Someone said it smelled like cat pee and seemed like an exaggeration, but it’s similar. Taste is subjective.

Haha, reading the comments confirmed what I thought: it reminded me of the dust from my cat’s litter box. But I loved it! Haha. It gives the same impression as Ninfeo Mio or Aromatics Elixir, and nobody disputes they are masterpieces. It’s not that it’s too complex for ordinary noses, but those who’ve only smelled Lancôme or YSL aren’t used to it. Hermès walks its own path without trying to please everyone. Sometimes you have to try it a few times to understand it. Being polarizing isn’t bad. What an unexpected scent: a powdery, fresh, almost dirty fruity vibe. Ten minutes in, intoxicating bursts of talc. What a trick that bottle and name. It doesn’t smell like tutti frutti, something I assumed based on the first Twilly. I loved it. It’s straight to my wishlist, even as a backup. Formulations like this don’t come out every day, you have to take advantage of them!

Update 30/04/25: Contrary to my good judgment, I tried it again. It’s still early, but I decided to endure the sewage even though they say it’s just initial or something you get used to with modern perfumes. No, no, and no. I’m a fan of potent, woody, mossy perfumes, and I don’t like many sweet ones. I’ve been wearing this since 8:00 AM, and by 9:55 AM I’m desperate to shower. It didn’t improve; it got worse. It no longer just smells like my cat’s pee, but like sweat. It smells like I wore clothes my cat peed on without showering in a week. Then pleasant notes come out, but that stench of peeing and sweating gets stronger. I’m talking about performance on my skin, but if you like it, tastes break all genres. Don’t tell me I need to taste it or that it’s just about getting used to sweet scents. Please. I hadn’t visited a physical perfume store in ages due to the pandemic, but this literally smells like my cat peeing. I adore my cat, but from there to wanting to smell like its pee… well, no. It’s the most horrifying perfume I’ve ever smelled.

One of the worst scents under my preferences. It smells like Tutti Frums deodorant after sweating. At first, it seems okay with the lychee… but when you let it develop, it’s fatal. The ginger isn’t anywhere to be found, even though it’s a note I love.

Just tried it, and for the first half-hour while it’s drying, it smells exactly like sweat, just like the previous review said. Now that phase is over and it smells musky, which is pretty good, but that initial blast… there’s no getting around it.
