Art Of Universe was my favorite Blue Talisman twist from 7 clones I've tried (because I like them sweeter).

I absolutely love Lattafa’s Art of Universe which is an inspiration of Ex Nihilio’s Blue Talisman.

Lattafa Art of Universe (Blue Talisman clone, candied pear is strong so it’s not super masculine, but it’s an easy wear and very likeable)

Apparently Art of Universe is a sweeter version of Blue Talisman so you might not have to give up on the DNA.

So this gonna get you as close to blue talisman as you can get right now that’s why I decided to go with it over the other two.

I know it’s supposed to be a clone of the original Blue Talisam, but I feel like the Art of Universe lacks the freshness of the real one.

Art of Universe is underrated, that spicy citrus opening hits way better than most Blue Talisman dupes I've tried.
