Ex Nihilo Blue Talisman is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Jordi Fernández. Blue Talisman opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, Ginger, and Pear, settles into a heart of Georgywood and Orange Blossom, and dries down to a base of Akigalawood, Ambrofix, Musk, and Cedar. Ex Nihilo's Blue Talisman carries an Acquired verdict, a citrus-led wear.

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.

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.

About

Blue Talisman opens with a sparkling burst of juicy mandarin, bergamot, and sweet pear, with a vivacious kick of ginger. It settles into a clean, musky heart where orange blossom meets the modern woody notes of Georgywood and Akigalawood. The base is an enveloping, slightly powdery blend of Ambrofix, cedar, and musk, offering a radiant, long-lasting freshness tempered with a touch of warmth.
