Velixir Icarus is a Ex Nihilo Blue Talisman EDP clone

Velixir Icarus is a clone of Ex Nihilo Blue Talisman EDP. We rate the similarity at 89%. Pear, citrus, orange blossom and modern woody notes connect Icarus with Blue Talisman EDP.

Icarus is the Velixir to look at for Blue Talisman's fresh pear-and-woods direction. Pear, citrus and orange blossom give you an easy way into the comparison. We're using the original Blue Talisman Eau de Parfum as the reference here, and our 89% rating applies to that edition.

Pear and orange blossom over modern woods

Icarus lists pear, Calabrian bergamot and mandarin orange in the opening. Orange blossom, Georgywood and ginger appear in the heart, followed by musk, Ambrofix, Akigalawood and cedarwood. The profile has a clear fruit-and-citrus side, with several modern woody materials underneath.

Blue Talisman EDP combines pear, bergamot, ginger and mandarin with orange blossom and Georgywood. Ambrofix, Akigalawood and musks form its published base. The pear and orange blossom connection is easy to pick out, and the shared woody materials give the comparison more detail to work with.

If pear is the note that draws you to Blue Talisman, Icarus belongs on your sample list. If the woods and musk matter more to you, focus there as well. Our overall similarity rating gives you a useful starting point, while the specific parts you enjoy will help decide whether Icarus suits you.

Choosing Icarus or the original

Check the concentration on the Ex Nihilo listing before buying. Blue Talisman EDP and Blue Talisman Extrait are separate versions, and this guide keeps the original EDP as Icarus' reference. Keeping that edition straight makes the 89% score and the note comparison much more useful.
