Worth a try

FragDNA score · on paper

The review

Worth a try. That is where Blue Fate lands when you weigh what it costs, what it is made of and how firmly it is matched to Blue Talisman.

ALT Fragrances 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.

At $92 per 100ml it costs 76% less than Blue Talisman — the 6th 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.

Heart

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