Blue Talisman

by Jordi Fernández

Ex Nihilo Blue Talisman is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Jordi Fernández. The fragrance opens with Pear, Ginger, Bergamot, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Georgywood and Orange Blossom, and dries down to a base of Ambrofix, Musk, Cedar, and Akigalawood.

Our verdict on Blue Talisman: Acquired

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.
