Zodiac by PARIS CORNER

Surprising fragrance. It’s not a 10/10 clone of Blue Talisman because Paris Corner leaves its own mark, adding a well-marked smoky touch at the start. It’s fruity, but different from the Art of Universe style: citrusy, fruity, and smoky, mostly intended for men. Smells rich, has good trail and longevity, and the price is ridiculous—I paid about $14.

This DNA is sweet pear with a citrus touch at first. Its evolution is linear: what you smell at the start stays until the end, no surprises. Paris Corner adds a subtle smoky nuance that distinguishes it from other clones, though that touch can feel out of place and steal focus from the sweet heart. If you’re looking for the best execution, Afnan Turathi Electric offers a more balanced result.

Hi, I haven’t smelled Blue Talisman, but this one smells great. It’s a clean, fruity, and smoky aroma. BUT… it’s too smoky for me. It smells like you’ve spent the whole night with smokers or near smoked salmon, especially the first two hours. It’s weird because at the same time it smells clean. I sprayed it in the room and my wife said it smelled like a lot of tobacco smoke but that it smelled good. It didn’t blow my mind enough to buy the whole bottle. That said, it has excellent performance. If you layer it with another fragrance, only this Zodiac is noticeable for the first few hours. Longevity: 10 hours. Projection: 3-4 hours, then a constant personal bubble. 9/10.

First impression: smells like leather and smoke, especially at first. The pear is barely noticeable, unlike the bergamot which is well-presented. On my skin, the smoky accord is heavily accentuated and eclipses everything else for the first hour. At first, I also found it synthetic and penetrating. Now that it’s been on the skin for a while, it’s completely different. Once dried down, it’s a fantastic masculine scent, with amber and vanilla fusing with the still-present citrus notes. If you like smoky, leather, and slightly sharp scents at the start, this could be a sure hit. However, Blue Talisman is much more refined in its overall perception (and much more expensive). Irresistible price if you like perfume.

Hello, hard to define: sweet, fresh, citrusy, fruity, with a smoky touch. Perf-mon! Already want another bottle to restock. Smells more masculine to me thanks to that smoke. Didn’t try the Ex-Nihilo version, only have Art of Universe by Lattafa, which is sweeter and fruitier; in my opinion, this Zodiac surpasses it by far—Lattafa is for kids, Zodiac for adults. Great perfume. Always test first. Greetings.

It arrived and I already know it’s a bomb. Although I don’t know the original or its clones, this smells citrusy, fruity, and sweet, all very balanced and unisex. We’ll see how it evolves, but for now I’m not regretting the purchase.

Bought it two weeks ago here in Santiago and confirm it’s delicious. Haven’t smelled the original Blue Talisman, but they say this one has a smoky note the original lacks; for me, that makes it better, more masculine. They say it uses a new molecule making it very long-lasting, and it’s true: lasts about 10 hours on skin, incredible for something citrusy and light, almost cosmic, very clean and defined. Thousands of compliments, everyone loves it. Scent 10/10, longevity 10/10, projection three to four hours, excellent price, unisex leaning masculine.
