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 - Mykonos 37 EDP
Mykonos 37 is The Parfum Hub's take on Ex Nihilo's Blue Talisman, dialling the pear and ginger opening up to a sweeter, juicier register while the orange blossom-Georgywood heart and musky-woody base come through simpler and flatter than the niche original. It gets the fresh fruity-woody shape across for a fraction of the price, but loses the distinct metallic-clean edge that sets Blue Talisman apart.

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.

Mykonos 37

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

The juicy pear-ginger opening and light musky-woody base are best suited to spring and summer, with limited presence in colder months.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Fresh and clean enough for casual wear and dates, with enough polish for light office wear, but too simple for formal occasions.
