The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2023 by Jordi Fernández for Ex Nihilo, Blue Talisman is a fragrance that marries the brightness of citrus and fruit with the warmth of musk and wood. The composition opens with pear and bergamot before ginger adds an unexpected spicy twist. Orange blossom and georgywood bring a delicate floral touch, while musk and akigalawood anchor the scent in a soft, powdery base. Blue Talisman is unisex, embodying Ex Nihilo's commitment to refined luxury and iconoclastic creativity.
One spritz on each wrist is enough — the citrus opening is bright but fades within two hours. The powdery musk base carries it for several more, so wear it in layers if you want a lasting impression throughout the day.
