The review
Turathi Electric scores 7.6 out of 10 on paper — strong contender territory for anyone chasing Blue Talisman.
Afnan sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Blue Talisman's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
It is sold as a parfum — a high concentration, which usually means it sits closer to the skin for longer.
At $56 per 100ml it costs 86% less than Blue Talisman — the 3rd cheapest of 7 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Afnan publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
Ex Nihilo Blue Talisman is passionfruit, bergamot and blackcurrant at first, ylang-ylang and jasmine at its heart and musk, cedar and vanilla at the end. Afnan set out to put that same arc in a cheaper bottle.

Passionfruit and ylang glowing over soft musk — a warm-weather crowd-pleaser with real polish.
