The era of Twilight is slowly coming back for millennial fans to indulge in, with original star Ashley Greene appearing in a new ad for Scentbird. The perfume brand brought back Alice Cullen in a throwback to promote their movie-inspired scent.
The Stephenie Meyerbook-turned-movie franchise is heading back to its roots. Not only have major brands like ColourPop brought back Twilight-inspired makeup pallets, but Scentbird crafted its own unique scent inspired by the film. They announced their Twilight collection last week, with Greene appearing to be the official attendee.
In the video posted on Instagram, Greene sits in front of a mirror vanity before spraying the new scent. She’s immediately transported back in time, head-to-toe dressed like Alice, and saying one of her most iconic lines: “Oh, you do smell good.”
Scentbird captioned the ad with, “Some fragrances remind you of a moment. This one feels like you’re in it.”
Fans will immediately remember the exact scene when Bella (Kristin Stewart) arrives at the Cullen home for the first time with Edward (Robert Pattinson). Just before, Edward warned his family not to act weird when Rosalie (Nikki Reed) chimes in that she can smell Bella from a mile away.
Seeing Greene back in her original outfit leads fans into a moment of pure nostalgia, with one fan commenting, “Straight to nostalgia.”
Other fans chimed in, saying, “I don’t believe she dressed up for this,” and “This is now a core memory!”
“Ashley Greene as Alice Cullen in 2026 was NOT on my bingo card,” said one fan on X after posting a side-by-side comparison of the actor in 2008 versus the new ad.
On Scentbird’s official website, fans can see that the packaging brings them back to 2008, with the perfume’s design being the original motion picture book cover and the foresty blues many remember.
“From the first time the lion fell in love with the lamb to the centuries of longing that followed, The Twilight Saga has always been about a love that defies the break of dawn,” they wrote on their site. The scent is described as “butter-soft” florals mixed with plum butter, macadamia, moon flower, creamy woods, and tuberose.
