Twilight Woods
Bath & Body Works (2009)

Twilight Woods is one of the older and more popular offerings from B&BW, and with good reason. The three very talented perfumers behind it (per NST) were Harry Fremont, Jane Konnyu, and Honorine Blanc. I have a somewhat vintage perfume roll-on, which I never bothered to review, even after reviewing Twilight Woods For Men. The latter seems almost completely unrelated to Twilight Woods, having a strong dose of airy, woody-amber-backed vetiver, and it resembles several offerings for men by Kenzo. Nothing like its namesake.

Note listings for Twilight Woods vary. The most complete list that I have found is:

berry, mandarin, coconut, frangipani, mimosa, wet honeysuckle, apricot, oud wood, musk, orris, vanilla milk and warm woods

I find that note list accurate, and I can detect everything listed without too much trouble, even the touch of oud. Berry, mandarin, frangipani, mimosa, apricot, vanilla and prominent woods are what come through most strongly.

Overall, it’s a woody floral, with a bit of fruity sweetness, reminding me somewhat of Chanel Chance, in terms of the deft use of woody notes in a feminine. The opening resembles orange blossom, and is quite attractive. It settles down within the hour to a sweet fruity woods on a musky vanilla base that is still very enjoyable. It’s not too sweet or gourmand, not too floral, not too woody. It strikes a really great balance.

Twilight Woods is not excruciatingly feminine, but enough so that men will generally prefer it on women, and women will find it easy to wear. However, the aging of the style has only made this one easier for men who sometimes wear women’s fragrances.

I’m very glad that B&BW still makes this one. It’s a classic, and one of their best.

Forget the movie
The real story of Twilight
Is a great perfume.

Twilight Woods has a dewy quality - the fruity notes & musk here make it evocative of a wet forest, yet there's a creaminess to it, too, which gives it that warm & cozy vibe. The coconut and orange notes lend an exotic kick. It feels like every note has a particular role to fill, and together they form a scent very appropriate for its name. One of the better offerings from B&BW!

There is just something about this fragrance. I absolutely love it. I do get the fruity sweetness out of bottle, but it fades to something quite nice and powdery musk on me. One of my favorites for sure.

Between Moonlight Path and this one, I have to say that "Twilight Woods" is actually the one I prefer, although obviously I like both.
The version of the scent that I own and that I am wearing right now is actually the feminine version. Unfortunately, I'm not as familiar with the masculine version of this fragrance, so I can't really comment on that one, and my review is really only going to focus on the feminine scent.
First of all, I need to point out that the name of this fragrance is a little bit misleading, since it's actually really not a very woody, green, dark or masculine scent. "Moonlight Path" is a little bit herbal green, dark and unisex but this one really, really isn't. It's a completely different perfume family altogether. "Twilight Woods" for women is actually a warm, sweet, vanilla-based and slightly fruity gourmand-oriental scent. Overall, it smells like sweet, vanilla-scented cream with just a touch of apricot jam thrown in. Obviously, it has a bit of a woody base too, but wood notes are not really dominant in this scent. It's like very sweet, perfumed wood, like what you would find in a potpourri, although this is more like a potpourri you could eat. :) It's definitely a very delicious-smelling fragrance! What it actually makes me think of the most is having afternoon tea in a fancy tea-house, and eating scones served with rich Devonshire cream and jam and fancy tea cakes and pastries. Yum! :) It's really not like a forest at all though, although it could definitely be a sexy evening perfume! I love wearing it all the time though. Like "Hypnotic Poison", this is a scent that actually just gives me positive, good vibes and makes me feel happy all day! This scent, in the lotion or cream, is maybe a bit much for me, but I absolutely adore the body mist and spritz it on liberally! Unfortunately, I think they may have discontinued this one from stores, but it should still be available on the Bath and Body Works website. Definitely try this one if you haven't already if you're a fan of vanilla perfumes and sweet gourmand scents in general. I don't think you'll be disappointed! :)

I love this perfume and apparently so does most of my town as it is normally sold out! A very warm and lingering scent that brings to mind snowy nights spent by the fire. I've tried the body lotions and shower gel as well and found they also had good staying power! very warm and very sexy!

Essentially this is a fruity vanilla musk scent .I get a almost citrus-citrus+apricot ? blended with vanilla and possibly some toasted coconut.It probably does have -some-faux sandalwood in the mix as it does have a certain "thickness " to the composition.Twilight Woods is definitely at home in the dessert/gourmand scent family.
I have the lotion and a body mist. As I recall the EDT smells pretty much the same as the lotion .The body mist is much less concentrated in scent,the lotion much truer to the scent.
As far as longevity goes the lotion seems to last at least 5-7 hrs on skin layered with the body spray .The spray will last on clothes much longer 12-24 hrs.
