What Is Afnan Turathi Electric a Dupe Of?

What is Turathi Electric a dupe of?

Afnan Turathi Electric is a clone of Ex Nihilo Blue Talisman EDP. We rate the similarity at 85%. If Blue Talisman's pear, citrus and musky woods caught your attention, this is the Afnan fragrance to put on your list.

That 85% is our take on how similar they smell, rather than a rating of which fragrance is better. There's enough of a connection to make the comparison useful, while still leaving room to prefer one over the other.

We're comparing the original Blue Talisman Eau de Parfum here. Blue Talisman Extrait is a separate release, and Turathi Electric is also different from Afnan's Turathi Blue.

How do their notes compare?

Afnan lists bergamot, pink grapefruit, pear and mandarin orange at the top. Apple, cedarwood and orange blossom follow, with vanilla, dry amber, musk and ambroxan at the base.

Blue Talisman's published opening is pear, bergamot, ginger and mandarin. Its heart pairs orange blossom with Georgywood, followed by Ambrofix, Akigalawood and musks. Pear, citrus and orange blossom give you a clear starting point for the comparison.

The differences are useful too. Turathi Electric explicitly lists apple, grapefruit and vanilla; Blue Talisman names ginger and a different group of woody and ambery materials. Ambroxan and Ambrofix shouldn't be read as proof that the formulas are identical. A note list can explain the direction, but it won't tell you exactly how either bottle will smell on you.

Which one would we choose?

We'd consider Turathi Electric if we wanted to explore the Blue Talisman style and its current offer made sense for our budget. If you already love Blue Talisman, compare the pear, sweetness and woods as both settle. Those are more useful things to judge than whether the opening seems familiar for a few seconds.
