Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Bois Talisman EDP
Prepare for a divisive experience. Bois Talisman swings between being a refined, sophisticated smoky vanilla, and a 'basic', uninspired take on a very well-trodden scent profile. It's either an elevated classic or an expensive disappointment, depending on who you ask.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Nº 17 Taurus Gold EDP
This is a boozy, sweet, and surprisingly versatile scent that's a dead ringer for a certain popular boozy vanilla; for those who appreciate a warm, inviting presence without the fuss.

Season and Occasion Fit

Bois Talisman

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its smoky, sweet, and woody profile makes it ideal for cooler weather and evening events, particularly dates where its sensual aura can shine. While some find it too much for the office, its moderate projection makes it a possible, albeit bold, choice for colder casual or semi-formal settings.

Occasions

Best For:
