What wearers say
“What are you all smoking if you think this is similar to Blue Talisman? It lacks the BT's depth, sophistication and quality.As usual, I gave a chance to a clone after a wave of hype, and again I convinced myself that these types of Arabic clone perfumes are just a mess of the cheapest, most similar chemicals to whatever they are "cloning" at the moment.If you usually like these types of clone cheapies, you might like this one. If you're like me and you never liked any clone, this one is no different.Also, very feminine. Definitely more than Blue Talisman.”
“The opening of this fragrance is captivating, instantly grabbing your attention. The dry down is average, lacking any extraordinary qualities. In terms of performance and projection, it falls short, not to mention weak. Despite these shortcomings, the price is reasonable, and I particularly enjoy the fresh pear note. However, as the fragrance develops, it transitions into a closer ambroxan skin pear scent, which is pleasant but not as captivating as the initial impression.”
“The citrus notes in the opening are tangy and astringent, joined by delicately watery pear and tart apple to create surprisingly beach-like vibes, sunlit, aquatic, warm, and free from gourmand sweetness.The composition does not evolve dramatically, though the base becomes a little cleaner, smoother, and subtly infused with vanilla. A classic unisex fragrance with an energetic summer spirit.Longevity and sillage are both very good, while the flacon beautifully resonates with the joy of the summer months and the fragrance's carefree seaside character.”
