Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Blue Talisman

This one's a bit of a mixed bag; while it's a compliment magnet for many, some find it too synthetic and overpriced for a basic, feminine-leaning scent. Don't fall for the hype without testing it first, as it clearly doesn't work for everyone.

Our Verdict - Basma Noir

This one is a properly divisive beast - you'll either adore its spicy-woody complexity or find it utterly perplexing. It's not for the faint-hearted, but for those who get it, it's a unique standout.

Season and Occasion Fit

Blue Talisman

Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.

Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual Sport

Also Works:

Date

Its fresh, clean, and often-described 'inoffensive' nature makes it ideal for office and casual wear. While some find it quite strong, its generally mass-appealing profile also suits dates, but it might be too vibrant and casual for formal events.

Basma Noir

Seasons

Also Works:

Spring Summer Autumn Winter

Occasions

Best For:

Date Formal

Also Works:

Casual

Its bold and warm character, driven by strong woody and amber accords, makes it better suited for evening and cooler weather occasions. While too intense for a typical office, it holds its own at formal events and makes a statement on a date.
