Which Should You Buy?
A budget Perfume Parlour interpretation of Ex Nihilo Blue Talisman (2025) by Jordi Fernández - the woody-led composition with pear, orange blossom and amberwood as the canonical signature. Honest dupe-fidelity at PP's budget price point.
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.
