Twisted Lily review

Twisted Lily is a curated online boutique for indie and artisan fragrance, and its sample packs are the strongest reason to shop there. Founded in 2013, it describes itself as a destination for rare indie and luxury scents from perfumers around the world. The Best Sellers Sample Pack costs $52 and discovery sets such as Essential Parfums cost $35, as of November 2026. US orders of $150 or more ship free, and the shop aims to ship within 48 hours, with standard continental US delivery taking up to 7 business days. The return policy is the strictest on this list: returns must come within 14 days of the fulfillment date, a full refund requires unopened, unused items with cellophane intact, opened items get store credit at most after inspection, and a $15 flat return fee applies unless the item is faulty. Twisted Lily does not handle international returns. Its Brooklyn boutique has closed, so all shopping is online.
