Blue Talisman Extrait de Parfum by Ex Nihilo takes a citrus-and-woods idea and turns the volume up. Bergamot, ginger, mandarin orange and pear open it juicy and a little spiced, before orange blossom softens the middle alongside the cool, modern woodiness of Georgywood. Akigalawood, ambrofix and musk shape a clean, ambery base that reads as contemporary rather than heavy. Released in 2024 as an extrait de parfum, it suits men and women who want more presence than a lighter version gives. Summer is its season, worn by day and carried into the evening. The longevity vote leans eternal. Most wearers call the sillage strong, so it carries further than a light spray. A 3ml decant tells you quickly whether that presence suits you.

The community verdict
On summer evenings, Blue Talisman Extrait de Parfum pairs bergamot and ginger with orange blossom and musk. Staying power divides between long-lasting and exceptionally long-lasting; most find its projection strong. Autumn and daytime work too, though its woody base gives it a deeper finish.

The house
More from Ex Nihilo
Ex Nihilo was set up in Paris in 2013 by fragrance professionals who wanted luxury perfume to feel more personal and more artistic. Almost the whole range is unisex, and most of it is bright: bergamot, pear and lychee up top, with musk, cedarwood and vetiver underneath. Pink pepper and ginger add a spark. Start with Blue Talisman, a clean, fruity citrus that works almost anywhere. Lust in Paradise is the floral one, a fruity bloom over soft musk, and Fleur Narcotique sets fruity florals on a woody base. The Hedonist leans fresher and woodier. Several also come as an Extrait.
