The review

On paper, Talisman 119 LORINNA is a strong bet if you want Blue Talisman for less.

Lorinna Paris 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 $43 per 100ml it costs 89% less than Blue Talisman — the 2nd cheapest of 11 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.

Evidence6.0

Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Lorinna Paris 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

The original opens on passionfruit, bergamot and blackcurrant, turns to ylang-ylang and jasmine, and settles into musk, cedar and vanilla. That is the brief Talisman 119 LORINNA is working from.

Top

  • passionfruit
  • bergamot
  • blackcurrant

Heart

  • ylang-ylang
  • jasmine

Base

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

Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
