Harper’s Bazaar: In what ways does Hermès Twilly Eau Ginger capture the quintessence of the Twilly series, while retaining its individuality?
Christine Nagel: The boldness of youth is still my major source of inspiration. Like its two predecessors, Twilly Eau Ginger was inspired by the young women of today—who embody burgeoning femininity and love playing with convention. After the original and piquant versions, this is the sparkling option—the same tribe, the same boldness, but a new attitude.
Twilly Eau Ginger is the dazzling facet of the Twilly spirit—one that is also typical of Hermès. It is the olfactory expression of a sunny, joyful personality. It goes further than its predecessors, asserting its uniqueness with unshakeable joie de vivre. Twilly Eau Ginger is transgressive...a liberating invitation to take nothing seriously, neither yourself nor your perfume.
HB: Twilly d’Hermès has notes of ginger. Did this scent inspire you to explore the note further?
CN: When I work on material, I like to push its limits. I was not done with ginger as a note and wanted to rework it in a different style. I retained its burning heat while softening the texture to make it convey something different. This exercise can be compared to the work on the Brides de Gala scarf, the emblematic Hermès design that has been artistically reinterpreted since 1957.
HB: How long was this fragrance in the works for?
