Art Of Universe

Lattafa Art of Universe My introduction to this scent profile came through an Afnan discovery set that included Turathi Electric. I immediately fell in love with the DNA, and after learning that Lattafa Art of Universe was a fruitier and sweeter interpretation of the same general Blue Talisman style, I picked it up on discount. The easiest way I can describe this scent is sweet, uplifting, almost heavenly soap. The pear and citrus create a bright fruity opening, while the musk gives everything a clean, airy and soapy quality. It is incredibly pleasant and addictive—the kind of fragrance that makes me smell my arm repeatedly simply because I enjoy it so much. The opening is mainly sweet pear, citrus, other fruits and musk. As it develops, the balance changes rather than the fragrance completely transforming. The musk gradually becomes more prominent while the pear, sweet fruits and citrus remain underneath. It goes from pear, sweet fruits, citrus and musk to more of a musky base with sweet pear, fruits and citrus. I would say around 80% of the scent remains consistent throughout the wearing, but that is not a criticism because it smells excellent from beginning to end. Despite being fruity and sweet, it works exceptionally well in warm weather. I wore it throughout an entire week of high intensive one-on-one stage dancing during very hot summer days, and it never became cloying or overwhelming. My dancing partner especially loved it, and its genuinely unisex character worked perfectly in that physically close and intimate setting. This is one of those fragrances that manages to be safe and pleasant for everyone around you without becoming boring. It is non-offensive, but still interesting enough to stand out from the typical safe fresh fragrance. I honestly find it difficult to imagine anyone strongly disliking it. At worst, someone may find it merely pleasant or unimpressive, but I cannot imagine it being genuinely unpleasant. Performance: The performance is exceptional for this type of fresh, fruity and musky warm-weather fragrance. I consistently get more than eight hours of noticeable longevity, with strong projection that remains at least moderate for the entire wearing. It only becomes a skin scent after that 8/9 hour mark. Purely in terms of performance, it can compete with fragrances designed for clubbing or colder weather, which is extremely impressive considering the scent profile and price. It performs strongly without becoming suffocating or cloying, even in high heat. That combination is one of the main reasons I rate it so highly. When and where to wear it: Art of Universe is extremely versatile as long as the weather is not genuinely cold. It works perfectly during warm spring and summer weather, but the unusually strong performance also makes it suitable for milder autumn days. I would not personally choose it for winter wear, although it could still work indoors. It fits almost every type of occasion: Everyday casual wear Work or school Sports Vacation Summer dates Formal warm-weather events Outdoor activities Close social settings The only occasion where I might choose something else is clubbing, where I would usually prefer a darker or more aggressive scent profile. Even then, Art of Universe has enough projection and longevity to handle it purely from a performance perspective. Gender: This is genuinely unisex to me. It does not lean clearly masculine or feminine. The fresh citrus and ginger prevent the sweetness from becoming overly feminine, while the pear, musk and soft fruity character keep it from feeling traditionally masculine. It sits directly in the middle. Comparison with Afnan Turathi Electric: Both Art of Universe and Turathi Electric are takes on the Blue Talisman scent profile. I have not smelled the original, so I am comparing these two fragrances only against each other rather than judging their accuracy to Ex Nihilo. On a tester strip, the differences are immediately noticeable (75% similar). On skin, they move closer together, although the distinction is still present. I would estimate them to be around 90% similar on skin. Art of Universe is sweeter, fruitier and less sour. The citrus feels sweeter and more rounded, while Turathi Electric has a slightly sharper, fresher and more tart citrus character. Turathi Electric is muskier due to the sweetness being tuned down compared to Art of Universe. As they develop, Art of Universe pushes the musk more strongly while maintaining its pear, fruit and citrus foundation. Both remain highly pleasant throughout their wearings, but I personally prefer Lattafa’s sweeter and fruitier twist. The biggest difference is performance. Turathi Electric gives me around five hours with moderate projection on skin, which is still acceptable for this type of DNA and pricing. Art of Universe, however, lasts more than eight hours and projects very strongly for most of that time. In my experience, Art of Universe wins in every measurable category apart from price. Turathi Electric is cheaper, but Lattafa smells better to me, performs twice as long and offers the version of the DNA that I personally prefer. Because of that, the higher price is justified and worth it. Value for money: The normal price in my market is around $45, although I paid approximately two-thirds of that during a discount. Even at the regular price, I consider it excellent value. It costs a bit more than Turathi Electric, but the improvement in performance and my preference for Lattafa’s sweeter, fruitier interpretation make it worth the difference. It also remains far cheaper than most other alternatives in this dupe/scent category. Final scores: Scent: 10/10 Performance: 10/10 Value for money: 9.0/10 Overall: 10/10 Final verdict: Art of Universe is currently my favourite fragrance in my entire collection. I love the scent profile itself, but Lattafa’s sweeter, fruitier interpretation feels perfect to me. It is uplifting, addictive, genuinely unisex, extremely versatile in warm weather and performs at a level that fresh hot weather fragrances rarely reach. For my taste, it has no meaningful faults.

If you like sweet fragrances, this is the single best freshie ever made and I dont care what price you're talking about. I like sweet, this is better than blue talisman to me by a really wide margin because of that added sweetness. If you tell someone that this is a new Louis Vuitton fragrance that just got dropped, they would believe you and not only would they believe you, they would also say "this is the only LV fragrance worth the price" because it really does smell like an incredibly high end well done properly blended niche fragrance. I have a hard time saying any niche freshies really justify their price points, but if this fluid was removed from the bottle and put in a blue talisman bottle, that is the only way blue talisman would be worth the money. Smells like a non synthetic sweet pear jam that has a nice bit of crisp ginger and you took your sweet juicy fresh mandarin and dipped it in the jam. There are some woods in there as well and the musk does help brighten it up which is nice because if a fragrance wants to be a freshie and is this sweet you need to help clean it up and a nice light white musk always helps stuff sparkle. i dont get mint in there and I assume thats because the musk and the ginger already give it a nice little sparkly zingy vibe and the mint just blends in with that. I do get floral in there but I have no idea where. im smelling it on my hand now and I say "oh yeah there's some sort of floral in this" but I cant isolate it, probably same as the mint. Since it's a freshie it can be worn in the heat and in the gym. Since it's sweet it can be worn in the cold weather and it makes a great summer night out fragrance. Since it's sweet and a freshie it makes this a killer date night fragrance. Since it smells so high quality that makes this a formal fragrance. This is as versatile as a fragrance can possibly get. BDC was the first true blue as far as i'm concerned and it sets the standard/rules for what a blue fragrance is. BDC is not aquatic. A blue fragrance only has to be a 24/7/365 any day any time any occasion mass appealing kind of fragrance. Lattafa Art Of Universe is exactly that, and now, to me, it is the new and all time greatest blue fragrance ever made with no close second place. I LOVE this thing. Blue talisman is great too and I appreciate them for coming up with this template, but lattafa outdid them and everyone else. Amazing. It made me very happy. Performs incredibly, lasts long, projects far, smells amazing, is pretty linear (which I prefer), doesn't need any maceration, smells ultra expensive, definitely niche quality, killer bang for you buck, bottle looks weird and I dont like it (like 99% of other clones), no brainer blind buy if you want a sweet freshie.

Este juguito me costó un poco de tiempo y he de decir que valió la pena. En éste punto muchos de nosotros hemos leído y escuchado sobre "maduración", "maceración", "oxigenación" y hasta hace unos meses debatía en mi monólogo interno sobre si ésta quasi brujería era sólo un mito de la perfumería árabe o si era el caso de como dicen en mi tierra: "Nomás les pasa a los pendejos". Pues he de decir que cuando calé este caldito en la tienda de perfumes, me encantó. Más dulcesito y menos aireado que los otros dupes con el mismo ADN, con la ventaja que proyecta y dura mucho más. Un twist en el que el intercambio se me hizo justo. Mis ya frágiles ilusiones se desmoronaron cuando abrí mi flamante Art of Universe y al probarlo me topé con un perfil diferente al que recordaba. El gengibre era tan dominante que opacaba las demás notas, y en el secado profundo el almizcle estaba contaminado con un cedro seco y picoso que no desaparecía de las prendas aún después de lavarlas. Pues nada; mi AoU quedó relegado a solo olerlo desde el atomizador de cuando en cuando. Unos dos meses y medio después de comprarlo, estaba pensando en comprar otro dupe del Blue Talisman, cuando pensé en darle una última oportunidad al AoU antes de venderlo. Entonces la luz cayó sobre mis hombros y el coro de ángeles cantó jubiloso. En la salida una mandarina envuelta en gengibre se presenta efervescente, vigorizante y traviesona. Fresco y dulce pero con ese toquesito ligeramente amargo en el regusto que encuentro elegante. En el secado encontramos la pera como protagonista, perfectamente en sintonía con el gengibre y el almizcle; la magia de este ADN. Ya no tan efervescente como en la salida, pero aterciopelado y elegante, fresco, limpio y dulce. En el secado profundo el almizcle destaca un poco más y se asoma tímido el cedro sin dominar, acompañando el resto de la orquesta. Pienso que este es un perfumazo, su twist hace que sea más versátil, se puede llevar de día y de noche, calor y climas de transición. Tal vez para el frío no se antoja tanto, pero me puedo imaginar llevándolo si un día me place. Me está dando unas 11 horas de duración, con una proyección fuerte las primeras tres horas y una moderada las siguientes seis. Lo puedes llevar al mismo tiempo con bermudas y crocs que con un traje de lino blanco, jóvenes y no tan jóvenes. Sólo usaría algo más serio para un evento formal, aunque si dicho evento es al aire libre o en la playa, lo veo viable. Este perfil es especial, una infusión de pera y gengibre fresca, dulzona y almizclada que se sale del ya choteado perfil olfativo del "cítrico-amaderado" y del "limpio- jabonoso". Un perfil adictivo, fácil de llevar y de gustar. Por cierto, su tapa es muy mala. No lo levanten de la tapa.

I'll give my honest opinion: I'm extremely critical when it comes to perfumes. Art of Universe by Lattafa was my very first Arabic fragrance, and, honestly, it's the one responsible for making me fall in love with Arabic perfumery. I've been wearing fragrances since I was a child, and I've always wanted to find a masculine/unisex scent with a genuinely sweet character—something that, in the past, was much more commonly associated with women's fragrances. This perfume managed to surprise me from beginning to end. The opening is incredibly fresh and vibrant. The citrus notes, combined with ginger and mint, create a beautifully constructed, seamless, and energizing introduction. However, to my nose, the pear is the true protagonist of the composition: it appears from the very beginning and remains noticeable all the way through to the base. The fragrance is sweet in just the right measure, never becoming cloying. The orange blossom adds a white floral nuance with a subtle powdery touch that makes everything feel more elegant. In the drydown, after several hours on the skin, the fragrance develops a warm ambery, musky, and powdery character, while the pear remains remarkably persistent and incredibly juicy. The projection isn't the kind that fills an entire room, but anyone who passes nearby will certainly notice its presence. In my experience, the performance is outstanding: the scent lingers on clothing even after washing. On my skin, it easily lasts for over 12 hours, with around 2 hours of consistent projection. Today, it has become my signature fragrance. At work alone, it has earned me countless compliments—especially from women—thanks to the exceptionally clean, sweet, sophisticated, and captivating profile it delivers. On top of that, it's one of those fragrances that has secured a permanent place in my collection. Honestly, the moment this bottle starts running low, I'll be ordering another without hesitation. It's the kind of fragrance I simply can't imagine not having in my collection. To me, it's an incredibly addictive, modern fragrance with a masterfully balanced contrast between freshness and sweetness. It deserves a solid 10/10.

I own around 10 colognes, I definitely would have more if I had the money but this is my first review in this page because I think this perfume really deserves it. I’m not kidding that when I went to the store and smelled this fragrance 2 things happened, the first thing that crossed my mind was that “I need to make this my daily signature”, and the second thing was that I started to cry, literally my eyes got watery and 1-2 tears started falling down my eyes, then the seller asked me if I was okay and I told him “yes, it’s just that I fall in love with this perfume” he laughed and told me to not exaggerate. Ended up buying a 5ml decant because I was short on money but I’m planning into buying the whole gift set. My honest review using the 5ml decant: Projection: last 3hours+ with great projection then turns into a more moderate perfume. 7/10 Sillage: leaves a good sillage trail within the 3hours that’s projecting. 7/10 Longevity: This is absolutely crazy and I’m not lying that I put this perfume on when I was going out to a friends house, I saw the girl best friend of my friends and I ended up making out with her and stuff, she didn’t want to move, she felt glued to me, she absolutely loved my perfume. But the best thing is that she text me the next day after that and she said “I can smell your perfume very intensely in the whole room, it’s filled with you”. I’m absolutely stunned with this. 10/10 Compliment factor: 9/10. Received a lot of compliments in a short period of time.

If you ever find this fragrance in a shop or online and you are a younger guy, don't think twice and buy it. The opening is extremely sweet and fruity and it reminds me so much of skittles. You get this scent profile for maybe 10-20 minutes then the pear comes in play and instead of toning down the sweetness it bonds with it making it smell like a delicious pear cocktail. As the top notes dry down after around 10 minutes that candy-like sweetness fades and gets replaced with a realistic and juicy pear, but as it continues to dry down you get a very clean background that compliments the pear. And around that 2-3 hour mark (maybe less) that same clean juicy pear gets even better with some nice muskyness that makes it feel even more cleaner. Longevity: around 6-7 hours 8/10 Projection: 2-3 hours 8/10 Does it leave a scent trail? Yes Blind buy worthy? Absolutely Overall rating for this fragrance: 8.5/10 Keep in mind I have the performance so high because of the price point of this fragrance. I got this for 45 euros. It's not so easy to find a dupe that lasts and projects as well as this perfume for the same price.

I have decent fragrance collection of over 40 fragrances, mostly designer and a few niche. But guys nothing has gotten me more compliments than this little man. I don’t do anything more than 5 sprays of any fragrance and this somehow just manages to attract so much attention. Only had it for a week now and every single time I wore it someone came up to ask me what is that beautiful scent. It is extremely sweet and synthetic on the initial spray, and to be honest does continue the sweetness right through its life but in a tasteful way. It smells to me like some sort of candy I ate in my youth but just can’t quite put my finger on it. Lasts forever, I got nose blind to it after a long day, was at the driving range after spraying it maybe 10 hours earlier and a guy 2 bays away from me said he could smell me as the wind brushed by. I don’t get the resemblance the blue talisman, maybe about 80% similar but definitely not a 1/1 clone and maybe that’s what makes it so good. It takes an amazing scent and does a little twist on it. Definitely recommend

One of the only fresh-sweet style fragrances I really enjoy wearing. It has the typical cheap fragrance opening that is a little bit off putting at first just purely because of the alcohol-citrussy combo, but as soon as it settles (15 secs later) you get bergamot, pear, musk, and white-floral warmth. It's like a creamy lemon curd mixed with a clean fresh-laundry musk. The pear note is reminiscent in the sweetness which is quite intense, but not in a candy cane bubble gum syrupy way, but more in a fruity way. Halfway fresh, halfway fruity gourmand I would call it. The dry down is where it starts to remind me a bit of Blue Talisman, but only very faintly. Overall while this is definitely an "inspired by" fragrance, I would say it's only 80% similar to Blue Talisman, and that's only in the dry down as well. It doesn't make Blue Talisman redundant in the way that Liquid Brun makes Althair redundant, or Oud for Glory/Greatness, etc. It's quite obviously sweeter than Blue Talisman and thicker, leaning towards being more creamy and fruity.

Lattafa's Art of Universe is honestly one of those fragrances that just works! Yhe kind of bottle you reach for when you want to make an impression without even trying. It opens with a lively burst of mandarin, bergamot, mint, and ginger that feels energetic and fresh, like a citrus cocktail with a little kick. Then it transitions beautifully into the heart, where juicy pear and orange blossom bring in that soft, slightly sweet quality that makes it feel really unique and a little addictive. The base settles into a warm, cozy blend of amber, cedar, and musk that keeps things grounded without going too heavy. What I love most is that it walks that perfect line between fresh and sweet, not candy-sweet, but more like elegantly sweet, the kind people can't help but notice. Longevity is no joke either, you're looking at 7 to 8+ hours on skin and even longer on clothes. If you want a fragrance that turns heads and gets people leaning in to ask what you're wearing, Art of Universe absolutely delivers. A definite in my rotation.

First time writing a review of something on this site, so forgive if it’s a lil sloppy. Ima be completely transparent, I was initially drawn to this from that gorgeous bottle (I mean who wouldn’t be) but I was finally able to get my hands on it recently and I’m so glad I did. This has quickly become one of my favourite budget fragrances ever, only in contest with White Regent Diamond. This is definitely my favourite summer fragrance, with a nice hit of fresh spicy citrus which feels pleasant but not overpowering, which is honestly my only real complaint with White Regent Diamond. I’m in the southern hemisphere, it’s approaching the asscrack of winter, but even then, this is a lovely fragrance even for mild and cool afternoons. I’ve heard murmurs it’s a dupe of Blue Talisman, but I don’t really have the experience to either confirm or deny that. 10/10, amazing fragrance with insane value

I don't understand why some people think that if they don't like a fragrance, it must be bad for everyone. And that everyone else is lying except for their own opinion and perspectiv lol. This fragrance has good quality, both in scent and performance. If you knew Blue Talisman, you'd understand that even the original is an 8.5/10—good, but nothing spectacular. It's just a fresh, citrusy, aromatic scent; that's all there is to it. you just keep your high hopes when you see someone overhyped over something then get let down were its only a matter of taste fragrances are subjectif i like it maybe you will like it more, and maybe i hate it but you love it its a 40ish$ fragance and a great one 8/10 to me don't listen to people nor to me if you can sample good if not its blind buy worthy, easy scent for everyone if you couldnt like it at first leave it mature

As soon as I smelled Blue Talisman, I wanted to get a dupe of it, simply because I wouldn’t want to spend Blue Talisman money on it. I blind bought Art of Universe for this reason. I didn’t look for an exact dupe but the airy quality of the scent profile. The pear note could be better blended and sits on top of the fragrance for a long while and then it moves into the DNA that I like. It’s very strong and it stays with you for at least 12 hours on the skin. I smelled the fragrance on me for 12 hours until I had a shower. I have found what I was looking for, although I didn’t look for sophistication in the first place. The price point is excellent for this fragrance if you are willing to put up with the prominent , not very well blended pear note before the perfume settles.

i wanted a really strong blue tali dupe, this probably is better than most of the other dupes but its not really a beastmode fragrance at all would compare same strenght to odyssey mega man, however the smell is amazingly fresh, you can smell , bergamot + pear + mint but mint made in a good way mixed combo smell, and its sweet and i mostly wear for gym cuz its really light and in the gym who wants a strong ahh fragrance other than me right? but id choose to use this for the gym, longevity is around 6 hours max skinscent 7 maybe, projection moderate-high for the first 1.3 hours after that its skinscent conclusion: smells amazing fresh,sweet and pear. really nice for gym and everyday use and i woudnt reccoment for winter cuz its really weak for that

Blind bought this fragrance, and don’t regret a single thing. For the price you pay, this fragrance is way worth it. The first time I opened it up and tried it on my skin, it wasn’t what I expected, and definitely threw me off, as it straight away smelt quite synthetic, but honestly a few seconds later it dried down into a gorgeous fresh and fruity scent. I went for a few cocktails at a local bar (Manchester in the spring time UK) and received a compliment from a female across the table from me. Said she got a whiff from where she was sat when I sat down and loved it. I Would definitely recommend if you want an all round scent that people will smell, and won’t dislike. Especially for the price! I couldn’t stop smelling my wrist. Give it a try!

I have somehow avoided the Blue Talisman DNA. So this is my first fragrance inspired by that DNA, and I freaking love it! I totally get the hype! This is kind of like Invictus in that it is sweet, very strong, and very fresh, but it smells a lot more natural than Invictus types. I can actually make out the pear note, and it reminds me of canned pear juice from when we got those on our lunch tray at school. I think I can almost smell the ginger and mint, and I can definitely get the musk and orange blossom. I love this stuff! I know it's not an accurate clone of Blue Talisman, but it's so good I'm not really all that curious to smell anymore accurate clones of it. I may look for a clone of the Extrait to see how that is.

Wow! What a unique scent. I don’t know what the haters are talking about below me, but this is such a wonderfully sweat and fresh scent. The notes are perfectly balanced out. I don’t think one overwhelms the other. Unlike some fragrances where you can’t detect what you’re smelling, I can easily pick out every note here. Nothing is hidden. You get a sweet citrus, with a hint of the pear and mandarin a very light touch of the mint, and a subtle bit of spiciness from the ginger and oud. This is something that is easily unisex and doesn’t lean one way or the other, it would smell delicious on a man or on a women. This would be a great scent for summertime or even year round.

This is art. Truthfully. This is art. The bottle is amazing. The box and representation, top tier. Very well done. Its like unwrapping a very, very expensive gift. They even have a very beautiful pamphlet of the whole fragrance line very well advertised and very upscale. That lil pamphlet made the whole purchase feel that more quality and rich. Great addition. Includes the list of the line and their respective scent profiles. 😍 Now to the nitty gritty. How does it smell? Perform? Projection? Its a gem. 10/10. IIll update this with more in depth review but its artful. Very safe blind buy.

I originally bought Art of Universe for my sons, but it was a total 'fragrance heist'. I ended up using it too! It opens with a stunning, effervescent burst of mandarin and bergamot sharpened by a cool minty-ginger kick. As it settles, the heart reveals a juicy pear and orange blossom that feels sophisticated but never cloying. The dry-down is where the magic happens: a clean, addictive musk and warm cedarwood that lingers for hours. It’s perfectly unisex, leaning neither too 'pretty' nor too 'rugged.' If you want a freshie that actually projects and turns heads, this is art in a bottle

"It's nothing like Blue Talisman!". Lattafa almost never does 1 to 1 clones, people don't know or forget that. Or maybe they're just too stupid. All three realities can co-exist. This frag's awesome. I don't know Blue Talisman, I don't know Turathi Electric, and I don't care about them. This frag works wonders for me and it works super well for layering too. Long lasting, borderline beast in projection, sweet enough to be worn during high heat and not be cloying, and that ginger lingering in the background it's fantastic. Leans more tropical than blue, so be aware of that.

PLEASE let this macerate, as soon as i got this fragrance, i didn't understand the hype whatsoever and just thought it was a sweet synthetic mess, that dried down okay and didn't last at all. now however, i see where the hype all comes from, after maceration, this fragrance has smoothed out so much, and is no longer as synthetic, smells like a sweet clean musky pear, still not sure about the longevity as haven't worn this much, but i know it has improved significantly, still don't think it lasts 8-11 hours like people say it does. Great fragrance, needs to macerate.

Got a Fresh Batch! Direct on my skin... It's EXACTLY a Hot Hot Pop Foot Candy (Bringing overjoy to my inner child). It's not the same as Ex-NiBT. However, I'm so Happy with this candy-like scent, and it's lasting my entire shift. Sprayed in the morning, and still feel the sweetness in the evening. I've compared this to Electric, and they're very, very different! Try to layer them! You'll get a Freshy-Sweety BOMB! Lattaffa Pride, you'll never fail me! Note: Hot Hot Pop Foot Candy is a foot-shaped red-coloured pear candy. Nothing to do with foot-scent 🤪🤪🤪

First off, I love the bottle. I'm a giant nerd, so how could I not get down with the astronomical artwork? Strong, blinding mandarin/bergamot and a quick jab from the ginger-mint combo. After about 30 minutes scent feels cleaner with this beautiful juicy vanillic creamy pear note accompanied by ambery musk. I really like this; the hardest part was aging it because it took roughly two months from when I first sprayed to where now I believe it to be a wonderful scent with a bit of maturation. The patience was rewarded.

This was a blind buy and had no idea what it was supposed to be inspired by when I ordered it. It’s definitely not a 1:1 copy of Blue Talisman, probably 85% at best and that’s what I absolutely love about it, like the juicer twist. It projects and lasts at least 8+ hours on my skin every time I wear it, always makes me feel great and always pulls compliments. In the Top 5 of Lataffa fragrances for me. Layering it with French Avenue Vulcan Feu turns it up to 11. Attention grabbing is saying it lightly. Try that combo!

Between this and Turathi Blue/Electric, Art of Universe is my favorite. . Turathi leans a bit too feminine because of those flowery notes this fragrance pivots toward a much more vibrant, fruity profile. It feels punchier and definitely more masculine. In the opening you get a Juicy pear note right off the top. It’s sweet and fresh. As it dries down the fruitiness settles down into a solid, woody base. Not sure what blue talisman smells like but if its like turathi no thanks. Long lasting with strong projectection

Art of Universe is a citrusy, fruity, sweet, and fresh fragrance. It is light enough for any weather and occasion. I really liked the scent; it is like a cocktail of cold fruits and gummy candies. It is not a heavy or dense fragrance—it is light, fresh, slightly sweet, and fruity. My wife and a friend liked the scent a lot, and both said it was masculine. To me, it feels completely unisex. The opening of this fragrance reminds me of Mugler's Pure Malt a little bit: fruity, sweet, and slightly tart. 10/10.

i had to create an account to leave this review and give my boy a fighting chance.. this is definitely a grower not a shower folks, it has a very pungent opening.. overly sweet.. would turn the average person off.. but that dry down??? ouuu weeee.. it has such a beautiful dry down man.. the musk comes to save the day.. it settles into a fresh, slightly woody and still very fruity fragrance.. every time i catch whiffs off this through my day im enticed.. beas tmode perfomance.. easy grab for the day 8/10

Compared to other Blue Talisman dupes I've tried in all honesty it's lower quality, but the refreshing sweetness more then makes it up for me. The pear is so good and works so well for me that I picked it over the cheaper more accurate clones. If you like the original profile I'd recommend getting Turathi Electric, Bujairami Enforcer, Maison Asrar Legacy or Matin Martin Illusion which are all closer than this one. But if you love a juicy sweet pear I'd wholeheartedly recommend this one.

a synthetic, sweet musky pear is the best way to describe this it's very synthetic and sweet in the opening, but dries down nice however, the performance on this fragrance is not great, i get around 4-5 hours that sits very close to the skin, haven't gotten many people noticing this fragrance on me, and unless i'm going noseblind, it does not last. would prefer if this fragrance was less sweet, and have heard other alternatives to blue talisman are less sweet than this.

This is a fun fragrance. Imagine you are about to be adventurous and do all type of fun/new things; this would be the fragrance to wear for those adventurous occasions. This fragrance excites me. Also, this fragrance is a compliment getter. I went back and forth on if I should purchase this fragrance, but I am happy that I did. If you purchase it and don’t like it, trust me, someone would be happy to trade, purchase, or own for free. It’s just that type of fragrance.

The art of universe, the name doesn't match the scent profile though. It is a lovely, fruity kind of fragrance that usually can't go wrong unless you hate sweet fragrance. I didn't get the ginger profile at all, but the mint, bergamot and mandarin nailed it in the beginning. The real magic comes after a couple of minutes when the pear note appears, amazing perfume. I don't know how close it is to the BT, but I love this perfume, as it is. Rating: 7.5/10

Ginger, fizzy drink, citrusy, uplifting and fresh musk, fruity-tropical-sweet. Longevity is great 7+ hours. Projection is not too loud but it does its job. The sweetness makes it more versatile and more mass appealing, i guess? I have smelled legacy, art of universe is indeed a lot sweeter. I like this scent profile so for me it's 9/10. The reason why I'm giving that rating is because it is too sweet.

Very very sweet. But also very very unique. What a fantastic blend though. I get certain candy notes, but when I sweat it brings out the amazing citrusy and fruit notes more. I couldn't stop smelling my hands the first time I sprayed this. What a great grab and go for running errands, etc. I wouldn't spray if I'm going to be in a closed space though, could be offensive in more professional settings.

As far as I'm concerned, this perfume is ideal for a fresh summer morning, I don't know why many people don't like it, but the smell is perfect for me. Long-lasting, the projection is of medium strength, but you can feel it, two to three sprays fill the room with the smell,,, The smell of mandarin and mint is dominant to my nose, but ginger is also felt. Fresh, after showering it's perfect... 8/10

This is one of the best beast mode fragrances oat. Great presentation. Room filling projection for 8h+. Sweet initial opening with the pear note dominating the drydown. It might be to feminine for some but it is definitely worth the money. I wouldn't say it dupes blue talisman , but rather takes it's DNA and twists it dramatically. For me a 10/10 fragrance i recommend it to everyone

The sweetest fruit fragrance i've ever put my nose too, almost sickeningly sweet like Nitro Red, it turns into a delicious amber and woody scent after about an hour, mid projection but great longevity :) Not sure if i need to let it sit and masturbate for a few months but i think that's what it needs to blend well and maybe cool down on the ridiculous candy pear in the opening.

I was completely surprised by this perfume, I tried it in the airport. It has a very sweet and fruity opening with a really clean vibe. It dries down as a nice minty white floral, very musky. It's not an overly complex smell, but I think it's a great summer choice, definitely a safe blind buy if you're into this kind of clean fruity florals

Amazing! Delicious! Much more feminine than I was expecting. The mandarin and bergamot are very prominent, but the other notes -- especially orange blossom and pear -- balance it out and keep it from feeling overly citrusy. Very sweet. On the opening it reminded me of Smarties or some kind of gummy candy. I haven't bought it, but would.

This so versatile parfume. Day/Night, All season, any occasion (not funeral). It smells like very good fruity shower gel. Fruity, soft, soapy and fresh. Also I have this filling of summer and sun vile wearing it. It cheers my moods during this gray Autumn in Germany. 9/10 I would say my favorite from all my Lattafas

Exceptional summer fragrance. Smells great with strong projection and exceptional longevity. I tested it out initially with 1 spray on either arm and it was still projecting 8 hours later. Usually summer scents struggle beyond 2-3 hrs but this stuff is beast mode on longevity. A definite repurchase for me.

Very fresh, but i don't see it leaning more feminine or more masculine. I got it today and sprayed 3 times in the same place and the performence isn't that good. I barely smell it after 3 hours of spraying, but i will let it macerate and hope it will get a better performance.

Blind bought this and got mine yesterday. this one is awesome. Especially the musky, citrusy-ish, woody-ish dry down scent is so addicting. I love it. A fresh opening to a lovely woody, musky scent in the dry down. Sexy bottle and long lasting. Worth the cop.

Almost a 1 to 1 of Blue Talisman Sweet, spicy, and musky. It does lack something that blue talisman has. You get what you pay for. But I can't pay 400 dollars for a fragrance. As much as I want to. It is amazing how close it is though.

Safe blind buy. Slightly more feminine leaning however blown away by the price-to-performance. Great fragrance if you have a spare 40. the box presentation alone is something I was not expecting as well.

I love this fragrance, the pear note is so addictive. This is a beast mode freshie. Bought a fecant but will definetely buy a full bottle. Don't know what people are smoking in the comments.

When I where this I get so many compliments! I constantly have people asking me what it is because it is so good! Great office fragrance, day time or casual hanging out. Excellent value!

well blended sophisticated and deep scent, long-lasting with moderate sillage and versatile all-year round a true high quality one from Lattafa, it’s really good and worth every penny

Purchased this fragrance today,was 50/50 about it,but im so happy i bought this it is really amazing fragrance and also for the price,it last quite long aswell versatile fragrance

For the price you get insane value for the buck. I just got it in with mail and i cant wait to use this. Not too sweet not feminin, girls are gonna love wiffs og this in the gym.

This is really good. I held off on buying it for a long time because a lot of the hyped up Lattafa fragrances I wasn’t a fan of. But this is one that deserves the hype. 9/10.

Currently my favorite although i can't wear it as much as id like due to how heavy it can be or can be suffocating to others, i like the smell a lot and its very sweet
