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.
Acquired
Our Verdict - True Word EDP
A truly gorgeous scent profile, but the performance is shockingly poor. Don't throw your money away unless you fancy a skin scent that barely lasts beyond application.

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.

Spring

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

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual

The incredibly weak performance means this is best-suited for very close-quarters, intimate wear, or situations where projection is unwanted. Its soft, warm character makes it suitable for casual settings, but it simply won't perform for dates or formal events where you want to be noticed.
