The review

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

Palermo Perfumes 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.

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 Palermo Perfumes 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

What it is chasing: passionfruit, bergamot and blackcurrant up top, ylang-ylang and jasmine in the middle, musk, cedar and vanilla underneath — the shape of Ex Nihilo Blue Talisman.

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.
