What Is French Avenue Jade Giallo a Dupe Of?

Jade Giallo is a clone of Blue Talisman

French Avenue Jade Giallo is a clone of Ex Nihilo Blue Talisman Eau de Parfum, with its own twist. Pear and citrus connect the idea, while Jade Giallo brings hazelnut, caramel and vanilla into the picture. Those extra notes are a good reason to sample it even if you already know Blue Talisman.

Pear and citrus are the starting point

Jade Giallo lists bergamot, pear, hazelnut and mandarin at the top. Blue Talisman's official description also puts pear at the center, alongside soft musky notes and Ambrofix. Its listed top notes include bergamot, ginger and mandarin too.

That gives the comparison a familiar fruity starting point. If pear is what caught your attention in Blue Talisman, we'd put Jade Giallo on the sample list and see how that note fits with the hazelnut and the sweeter details around it.

Hazelnut and caramel give it another angle

Jade Giallo's middle notes are jasmine, caramel, Cashmeran and vetiver. Vanilla, ambergris, moss and musk make up the base. The hazelnut-and-caramel combination is the part we'd pay particular attention to when comparing it with the original.

Those labels point toward a sweeter, nuttier take on the pear idea. How much of that comes through is something to explore in a sample. A note list can't tell you whether the fruit, the caramel or the woody side will be the part you notice most.

Keep the Blue Talisman edition in mind

We're comparing Jade Giallo with Blue Talisman Eau de Parfum here. The Extrait is a separate edition, so check the full name when ordering an original sample.

We'd shortlist Jade Giallo if pear, citrus and a little gourmand detail sound appealing together. Give both samples some time and notice which balance you prefer: how the fruit sits with the sweetness, and how the musky or woody details come through as the wear goes on.
