Which Should You Buy?
This Extrait version of Blue Talisman is a divisive one. While some hail it as a masterpiece and a compliment magnet, others find it cloying, synthetic, or a redundant upgrade to the original EDP. Sample first to see if you get the pear nectar or the pickle juice.
A divisive flanker that aims for 'modern' but splits opinion right down the middle. Some find it a youthful, sweet take on the original; others get a musty, cheap tartness. Definitely not a safe blind buy, despite what some say.
