Talisman Oud - 2290

It's so good im never sure if im wearing the real of the fake! Lasts about 6 hrs. Can smell on clothes next day. Very happy

this website hides my original review, so I'm posting it as a five-star. Do not buy this trash which smells nothing like Bois Talisman! Instead of an elegant sensual woody scent, this gives you cigarette smoke at a cheap bar where they definitely do not even hold a liquor license. waste of money!!

I cannnot believe that I paid this price plus the custom fees for this?! It smells nothing like Dior's Bois Talisman!! Instead of an elegant sensual woody scent, this smells like burnt cigarette at a cheap bar where they definitely do not hold a liquor license!! Terrible rip-off!!

I cannot tell you how amazing this is. The smell is the exact same, so expensive and genuinely incredible. I’ve told my friend as we both have an obsession with the dior perfumes, especially this scent. I’m already buying my second load of house sprays, wax melts, diffusers to stock up.

Excellent

Love this scent so much, I have the real version, but don’t like to use it daily as it is so expensive so this version is perfect for me, just need it to come back into stock :)

I have smelled the original and I must say that this is very close.
The original is softer in the smoke note, but it's definitely very close.

When I first ever smelled the original I thought: This is like a better version of "By The Fireplace". Basically this is how I imagined "By The Fireplace" to smell like, but it didn't.

By the Fireplace has a smoke note, which resembles the smoke note of smoked ham, which becomes rather unpleasant after a while.

Bois Talisman, or Talisman Oud, also has a smoke note, but this smoke note is more of a tobacco smoke note. Which is much less intrusive and gives the vanilla an airier, drier, but elevated touch, without making the vanilla smell like smoked ham.
The smoke note here is stronger than the original, but I don't mind that as it's a pleasant smoke note.

so good, best for autumn winter months coming up - top notch release from pp. buy it before it sells out.

This is so beautiful. For me is the elevated, more elegant version or by the fire place. In love and very close to the OG.
