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.
This one's a divisive floral-woody affair, leaning sweet and powdery. Some find it a musky, syrupy apple mess; others appreciate its subtle oud and peppery kick. It's truly a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
The woody-led composition with amberwood base reads strongest in spring-summer where the lighter character shines.
Occasions
Bright woody-led signature fits office, casual day, and date wear ideally.
Seasons
Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and winter pair best.
Occasions
Its prominent sweet floral and woody accords, combined with a potentially 'grandma' vibe for some, make it less suitable for formal or office settings. However, its unique and somewhat polarising nature could make it an interesting choice for a casual outing or an intimate date, depending on personal preference.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Fruity, Citrus, Woody accords and Vanilla, Bergamot notes
