[Blue Talisman Extrait de Parfum](https://10ml.com/perfumes/ex-nihilo-blue-talisman-extrait-de-parfum) is the extrait version of an Ex Nihilo signature, composed by Jordi Fernández. [Pear](https://10ml.com/notes/pear) and bergamot open it, [orange blossom](https://10ml.com/notes/orange-blossom) and jasmine sambac form the heart, and the base holds Ambrofix, musk, amberwood, [sandalwood](https://10ml.com/notes/sandalwood) and [vanilla](https://10ml.com/notes/vanilla). The house says the Extrait intensifies the original with deeper, more powerful notes, with the jasmine warming the orange blossom and the vanilla and sandalwood giving the base more texture. In practice it reads as a fruity white floral that finishes creamy and woody rather than dry and airy. Community votes on its longevity lean towards "eternal", then "long lasting", and most community voters rate its sillage strong. Voters pick it most often for summer, for evening and for day wear. That is what people say about it, not a promise about your skin. The Extrait grew out of [Blue Talisman](https://10ml.com/perfumes/ex-nihilo-blue-talisman), the earlier Eau de Parfum and a different perfume, built on ginger, mandarin and the woody materials Georgywood and Akigalawood. Many clones on the market follow that one, so the first job is to sort them by the version they aim at. **Which Blue Talisman version suits which kind of clone** | Version | Scent profile | Nearest pick below | | --- | --- | --- | | Blue Talisman Extrait de Parfum | Pear and bergamot, jasmine sambac, sandalwood and vanilla | Executor, Nautilus | | Blue Talisman (Eau de Parfum) | Pear, ginger, mandarin, Georgywood and Akigalawood | Fayiz, Icarus | ## Clones for the Extrait and clones for the Eau de Parfum The tell is the base. If a clone lists sandalwood, amberwood and vanilla, it is reaching for the Extrait. If it lists ginger, Georgywood and Akigalawood, it is following the Eau de Parfum, which our [Blue Talisman dupes guide](https://10ml.com/guides/blue-talisman-dupes) covers in full. Executor and Blue Spell Ext publish the Extrait's pyramid name for name. Nautilus keeps the pear, orange blossom, jasmine and vanilla but adds ginger. Fayiz and Icarus keep the earlier version's ginger and woody materials, and Parfumo lists Fayiz as similar to both. Art of Universe lists neither base. Each pick below says which side it sits on. ## Blue Talisman Extrait de Parfum alternatives compared Bottle prices in other shops, as checked 28 October 2026 Perfumes made and sold by other houses. 10ML does not sell them. | # | Alternative | Role | Basis of comparison | Source | Bottle price | Per ml | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | Executor (Bujairami) | Best overall | Named source | [Source](https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Bujairami/Executor-123005.html) | €47.99 (100 ml) | €0.48/ml | | 2 | Nautilus (Mykonos) | Closest on the dry-down | Named source | [Source](https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Mykonos/Nautilius-139926.html) | €63.99 (100 ml) | €0.64/ml | | 3 | Art of Universe (Lattafa Pride) | Lowest price | Named source | [Source](https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Lattafa-Perfumes/Art-Of-Universe-101314.html) | €29.99 (100 ml) | €0.30/ml | | 4 | Fayiz (Rasasi) | Fresher take | Named source | [Source](https://www.parfumo.com/Perfumes/Rasasi/fayiz) | No EU price | — | | 5 | Icarus (Velixir) | Softer take | Named source | [Source](https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Velixir/Icarus-127589.html) | €56.99 (100 ml) | €0.57/ml | | 6 | Blue Spell Ext (Yom & Layl) | Premium alternative | Named source | [Source](https://yomlayl.com/products/blue-spell-ext) | No EU price | — | ## Best overall: Executor Executor by Bujairami lists pear and bergamot, then orange blossom and jasmine sambac, then sandalwood, amberwood, musk, vanilla and Ambrofix. That is the Extrait's pyramid, note for note, and of the picks here only Blue Spell Ext publishes the same list. Executor has far more owner comments behind it, which is why it leads. **The main difference:** the finish and the polish. A Fragrantica member who compares it with the Extrait says Executor smells like it, but that the original has nuances of quality a clone cannot match. Another member says it took four months in the bottle before it came together, and then read as a more masculine Blue Talisman. A third, who has only smelled the Eau de Parfum, finds it less diffusive than that version. **Who it suits:** anyone who wants the creamy sandalwood-and-vanilla finish of the Extrait in a bottle they can wear every day, and who is willing to let it rest after buying. **Basis:** named external source. Members on [Fragrantica](https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Bujairami/Executor-123005.html) list the notes and make the comparisons above. On [Parfumo](https://www.parfumo.com/Perfumes/bujairami/executor), a member who has smelled the Extrait calls Executor a lovely take on that version, slightly darker than the Eau de Parfum, with a sweet, creamy note in the dry-down, and the page's similar-fragrances list names the Extrait first. ## Closest on the dry-down: Nautilus Nautilus by Mykonos opens on pear, bergamot, mandarin and ginger, keeps pear in a heart of jasmine and orange blossom, and finishes on musk, vanilla, guaiac wood and amber. **The main difference:** the ginger and the guaiac wood. The Extrait has neither, and Nautilus has no sandalwood. One Fragrantica member who compared it with the Extrait finds it extremely similar, another calls it a mix of the Eau de Parfum and the Extrait, and a third finds it slightly fresher and less syrupy than Art of Universe. Those are three members' views, and the page has few comments so far. **Who it suits:** wearers who like the Extrait's sweet pear but want it brighter, for warm days. **Basis:** named external source. The notes and comparisons come from [Fragrantica](https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Mykonos/Nautilius-139926.html), which spells it Nautilius, and [Parfumo's similar-fragrances list](https://www.parfumo.com/Perfumes/Ex_Nihilo/blue-talisman-extrait-de-parfum) for the Extrait names it. ## Lowest price: Art of Universe Art of Universe by Lattafa Pride lists mandarin, ginger, bergamot and mint, then pear and orange blossom, then musk, amber and cedar. **The main difference:** it has no jasmine sambac, sandalwood or vanilla, so it lacks the creamy base that sets the Extrait apart. Members split on it. Some find a fresh, fruity pear scent; others call it synthetic or sweet. A Spanish-language member says it is sweeter and less airy than other clones of this style, and that it projects and lasts much longer. **Who it suits:** a low-stakes first try of the pear style, or a summer bottle you can wear freely. **Basis:** named external source. [Fragrantica](https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Lattafa-Perfumes/Art-Of-Universe-101314.html) shows its notes and the split views, and [Parfumo](https://www.parfumo.com/Perfumes/Ex_Nihilo/blue-talisman-extrait-de-parfum) lists it among the fragrances similar to the Extrait. ## Fresher take: Fayiz Fayiz by Rasasi lists pear, bergamot, mandarin and ginger, then Georgywood and orange blossom, then Akigalawood, Ambrofix, cedar and musk. **The main difference:** those notes follow the Eau de Parfum, not the Extrait. There is no jasmine sambac, sandalwood or vanilla, so the finish is drier and brighter than the Extrait's. Parfumo nonetheless lists both Blue Talisman versions as similar, and a member describes a very good Blue Talisman-style profile. The page holds only two short member views. **Who it suits:** anyone who finds the Extrait too sweet and would take its pear in a lighter, cleaner frame. **Basis:** named external source, the [Parfumo page](https://www.parfumo.com/Perfumes/Rasasi/fayiz) with its notes, similar-fragrances list and member comments. ## Softer take: Icarus Icarus by Velixir lists pear, Calabrian bergamot and mandarin, then ginger, orange blossom and Georgywood, then musk, Ambrofix, Akigalawood and cedarwood. **The main difference:** like Fayiz, it is aimed at the Eau de Parfum. One owner describes a smooth, subtle scent whose projection is good but not loud, and another says to choose it over the original unless you want the Extrait's woodiness. That gentle profile earns it the softer slot. **Who it suits:** office and daytime wear, for someone who likes the pear but not a heavy base. **Basis:** named external source. Notes and member comments are on [Fragrantica](https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Velixir/Icarus-127589.html), and [Parfumo's similar-fragrances list](https://www.parfumo.com/Perfumes/Ex_Nihilo/blue-talisman-extrait-de-parfum) for the Extrait names Icarus. ## Premium alternative: Blue Spell Ext Yom & Layl names the Extrait as the inspiration for Blue Spell Ext on its own product page. The house publishes pear and bergamot, orange blossom and jasmine sambac, then amberwood, Ambrofix, sandalwood, musk and vanilla, which is the Extrait's list again. **The main difference:** the evidence. We found no detailed owner comparison for the Ext version, only the house's description and short customer comments. In a January 2025 thread asking for Blue Talisman clones, a [forum member](https://www.fragrantica.com/board/viewtopic.php?id=333269) recommends the house's regular Blue Spell, not the Ext, so treat that as a pointer rather than proof. The house prices in US dollars, so no EU list price appears in the table. **Who it suits:** someone who wants a maker that names the Extrait directly and accepts that the notes are the main thing to go on. **Basis:** named external source: [Yom & Layl's product page](https://yomlayl.com/products/blue-spell-ext) gives the inspiration and the notes. ## Similar original perfumes we stock Three originals we decant that echo the Extrait's pear, white flowers and creamy vanilla, each in small sizes. | # | Perfume | Main notes | 3 ml | 10 ml | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | 1 | [Parfums de Marly Safanad](https://10ml.com/perfumes/parfums-de-marly-safanad) | Pear and orange over orange blossom, ylang-ylang and iris, drying down to vanilla, amber and sandalwood. | €14.04 (€4.68/ml) | €40.05 (€4.01/ml) | | 2 | [Givenchy L'Interdit Eau de Parfum](https://10ml.com/perfumes/givenchy-linterdit-eau-de-parfum) | Pear and bergamot over tuberose, orange blossom and jasmine sambac, with a base of Ambroxan, vetiver, vanilla and patchouli. | €7.65 (€2.55/ml) | €21.06 (€2.11/ml) | | 3 | [Amouage Guidance](https://10ml.com/perfumes/amouage-guidance) | Pear, hazelnut and olibanum over osmanthus, rose, saffron and jasmine sambac, resting on sandalwood, vanilla and ambergris. | €15.12 (€5.04/ml) | €42.93 (€4.29/ml) | ## What every clone gets wrong The Extrait's whole point is density: the jasmine, sandalwood and vanilla turn a bright pear into something creamy. A note list cannot show how well a clone carries that through a full day. Executor and Blue Spell Ext publish the right notes, yet the Executor comments alone disagree on where it falls short: one member found the first half hour harsh before it came close, another needed months of rest, and a third still noticed a quality gap. Expect to judge each clone over a whole wear, not from the first spray. ## The real thing, or a clone bottle? A 10ml decant of [Blue Talisman Extrait de Parfum](https://10ml.com/perfumes/ex-nihilo-blue-talisman-extrait-de-parfum) costs €65.70 at 10ML, or €6.57/ml. A 3ml decant is €21.69. Per ml, every clone with a list price in the table costs far less, which is their appeal. The decant gives you roughly 200 sprays of the actual perfume to judge them against. If you will wear a pear scent most mornings, a clone bottle is a sensible buy; if you only wear it now and then, learn the original first. ## How to test a dupe Skin tells you what paper cannot. Spray the original on one wrist and wait four to eight hours, since the Extrait's base only shows late. Wear the clone on a different day, on that same wrist and with as many sprays, and compare at the same hours. Do the comparison with a 3ml decant of the original, which is around 60 sprays and enough for several wears, or a 10ml decant to wear for weeks. Judge the opening, the heart and the dry-down separately, because members report clones falling short at different stages. If you want something different from a clone, original perfumes share part of the Extrait's character. [Safanad](https://10ml.com/perfumes/parfums-de-marly-safanad) by Parfums de Marly puts pear and orange blossom over vanilla, amber and sandalwood. [L'Interdit Eau de Parfum](https://10ml.com/perfumes/givenchy-linterdit-eau-de-parfum) by Givenchy sets pear and bergamot over orange blossom, jasmine sambac and vanilla. [Guidance](https://10ml.com/perfumes/amouage-guidance) by Amouage pairs pear with jasmine sambac, sandalwood and vanilla, and our [Guidance vs Guidance 46](https://10ml.com/guides/guidance-vs-guidance-46) guide explains the two versions.

What to know first ### Can I wear Blue Talisman Extrait in 3ml before choosing a clone? Yes. 10ML pours Blue Talisman Extrait de Parfum into 3ml and 10ml decants, starting at €21.69 for the 3ml. A 3ml decant is around 60 sprays and a 10ml decant around 200, so you can wear the real Extrait for several days before you weigh any clone against it. ### Which Blue Talisman Extrait dupe leads our ranking? Executor by Bujairami leads this guide because it publishes the Extrait's pyramid note for note: pear and bergamot, orange blossom and jasmine sambac, then sandalwood, amberwood, musk, vanilla and Ambrofix. One member who compared them still says the original has nuances of quality a clone cannot match. ### Is a dupe of the Eau de Parfum good enough for the Extrait? Not necessarily. The Extrait adds jasmine sambac, sandalwood and vanilla, which most clones aimed at the Eau de Parfum leave out, so they finish drier and brighter. Fayiz and Icarus follow the Eau de Parfum, while Executor and Blue Spell Ext publish the Extrait's notes. ### How does Nautilus differ from the Blue Talisman Extrait? Nautilus keeps the pear, orange blossom, jasmine and vanilla but adds ginger and guaiac wood, and it has no sandalwood. One Fragrantica member who compared it with the Extrait finds it extremely similar, though the page has few comments so far. ### Which clones share the Extrait's named notes? Executor and Blue Spell Ext publish the full pyramid. Nautilus shares pear, bergamot, orange blossom, jasmine, musk and vanilla. Art of Universe shares pear, bergamot, orange blossom and musk only, and misses the sandalwood and vanilla that make the Extrait creamy. ### How do clone bottles compare per ml with a decant? A 10ml decant of the Extrait costs €65.70, or €6.57/ml. Every clone with a list price in the table costs less per ml, which is the appeal of a larger bottle; the decant is for learning the original first. ### How long does Blue Talisman Extrait last on skin? That depends on your skin, the weather and how many sprays you use, so the honest test is your own: wear a 3ml for a few days and note when the sandalwood and vanilla base fades on you. ### Does 10ML sell dupes? No. 10ML sells only original perfumes. We buy our bottles from authorized EU distributors and directly from the brands, and 10ML decants every perfume itself. The dupes in this guide are other houses’ perfumes, and we don’t sell them. You can wear the original first from €21.69. ## Sources - [Blue Talisman Extrait (Ex Nihilo)](https://www.ex-nihilo-paris.com/products/blue-talisman-extrait) - [Blue Talisman Extrait de Parfum by Ex Nihilo (Fragrantica)](https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Ex-Nihilo/Blue-Talisman-Extrait-de-Parfum-110848.html) - [Blue Talisman Extrait de Parfum by Ex Nihilo (Parfumo)](https://www.parfumo.com/Perfumes/Ex_Nihilo/blue-talisman-extrait-de-parfum) - [Executor by Bujairami (Fragrantica)](https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Bujairami/Executor-123005.html) - [Executor by Bujairami (Parfumo)](https://www.parfumo.com/Perfumes/bujairami/executor) - [Nautilus by Mykonos (Fragrantica)](https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Mykonos/Nautilius-139926.html) - [Art Of Universe by Lattafa Perfumes (Fragrantica)](https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Lattafa-Perfumes/Art-Of-Universe-101314.html) - [Fayiz by Rasasi (Parfumo)](https://www.parfumo.com/Perfumes/Rasasi/fayiz) - [Icarus by Velixir (Fragrantica)](https://www.fragrantica.com/perfume/Velixir/Icarus-127589.html) - [Blue Spell Ext (Yom & Layl)](https://yomlayl.com/products/blue-spell-ext) - [Blue Talisman clones, forum thread (Fragrantica)](https://www.fragrantica.com/board/viewtopic.php?id=333269) ## How we compared Each alternative is ranked by how closely it follows the notes and dry-down of Blue Talisman Extrait de Parfum, on the basis shown for it in the table.
