Very helpful Review 5  
Mandarin as the initial main player gets fresh support that does the fragrance good
The Blue Talisman is quite a beautiful fragrance.

For me, the tangerine comes through well and most at the beginning. The mandarin is definitely the main player at first.
But this kind of mandarin is almost too sweet.
It reminded me a little of Laboratorio Olfattivo's Mandarino, but without smelling the same. The Mandarino is not for me, for me this mandarin is just too sweet, almost like overripe.

However, Blue Talisman manages the balancing act of not being too sweet, because the freshness lifts the whole thing a little.
The superbly used synthetic fragrances, as well as the bergamot and the well-known ginger from the Ex Nihilo fragrances, provide that certain freshness here, which is also really good for the mandarin.

Towards the end, it even becomes almost creamy for me and lands on such a great musky cloud.
Nicely done.

I don't find it outstanding, but really pleasant and good.
My girlfriend immediately found it super beautiful and compliments came straight away, whether from her or directly from work colleagues.

Feelings of happiness
A fragrance you definitely have to test on your skin!
It has something molecule-like in the drydown and just when you think it's going to disappear, it comes around the corner again.
At the start, we have a great blend of fruity, citrusy and tangy, which is muted by ginger and adds some spiciness and keeps the sweetness in check, which comes from the pear.
The synthetic fragrances provide a woody base that comes across as very molecular. It remains fresh and fruity throughout, supported only by light musk and these woody undertones.
I immediately get feelings of happiness when I spray it on and the fragrance is also so good in the gym. It's unobtrusive but still there and has earned me a few compliments (not that that's a criterion for why you buy a fragrance)

Unique pear
As a perfume fan, I naturally went to Harrods in London. Right at the entrance to "Floor 6 - Salon De Parfums" I was greeted by a small stand from Ex Nihilo. Of course I tried all the testers and the Blue Talisman really surprised me. What is that? I've never smelled anything like it. Very aquatic, the pear and tangerine are fresh and juicy. It makes me want to go on a summer beach vacation, an absolute insider tip! The fragrance will still get the hype, mark my words

Fleur narcotiques fresh version
Tested at galerie lafayette i earned about this france on social network.

I decided to test it and immediatly it reminds me fleurs narcotiques of the same brand probably cause of bergamot in the head note then the Orange blossom.in the heart note and musc in base note.

However i smelled a fragrance more fresh it s a flower fresh perfect for summer.its a little fruity gourmand and a little more feminine.

The sillage is weak and the longivity in the average 5 -7 hours

I had remembered him differently...
I smelled it for the first time on a business trip to Florence and it was clear to me that it would be one of the fragrances that I would one day own. A few months went by and I had to go to Milan again and I couldn't miss a visit to Zhor, where I smelled it a second time.

A few months later, I ordered it again and the first spray immediately reminded me of my two visits to Florence and Milan. But then the fragrance settled over time and became very thin and the initial enthusiasm died away in the wind, which I found very unfortunate.
I increased the intensity the next day in the hope that the previous day had deceived me. Unfortunately without much more success.

I like pear and any fragrance with pear in the notes has to be tested. Blue Talisman is a great fragrance and I really like the house in general. In the end, it didn't convince me 100% and it's difficult for me to write this. Maybe it just doesn't suit my skin DNA as much as I had hoped;)

Pear-dominant FN with cleaner musks and a clean patchouli base. Easier to wear, less abrasive, more sensual, better than FN to me.

Opens like a fruity-feminine Ganymede. Instant drydown pear/ginger + sweet/floral tones. The base is a bit rough (dirty patchouli vibe).

Well combined raw materials with synthetics.
