Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Blue Talisman EDP
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.
Statement
Our Verdict - Art Of Universe EDP
This one's a proper sweet shop in a bottle, polarising with its punchy pear and candy vibes. Expect compliments, or a headache, depending on who's sniffing. It definitely needs a good maceration too, so be patient.

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.

Autumn

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

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual Sport

With strong projection and long-lasting performance, this fresh, fruity-sweet scent is perhaps a bit too bombastic for the office. It's a fantastic casual reach and draws compliments, making it great for dates or active wear.
