Al Barari Coral

Well, this is one that definitely takes some maceration(I love seeing reviews where they say masturbation instead). Upon initial opening, it's a bit of a mess. You get hit with every note, from everywhere, all at once. So I let mine sit in the corner for 2 months thinking about what it had done. The time of reflection helped tremendously. It's now a bit more nuanced in how the waves come at you. Before, it was like a hurricane of smells enveloping you. Now, it's more like a nice summer breeze on the beach. Lasts about 4-6 hours after maceration, was a bit less upon initial opening. Not the strongest projection, but better than some summery fragrances. Has a decent sillage trail, but this doesn't last more than an hour or 3. On the initial opening of the bottle, I'd rate it at maybe a 6/10. After maceration, I'd bump it up to an 8-8.5/10

I've been looking for a proper blue talisman dupe ever since i smelt Velixir Icarus, and then I tried turathi electric which is way too sweet and perform poorly. Now i haven't smelt the OG yet, but this has a mango twist compared to the other dupe, not strong and not very subtle, which works for me because i like mango. The overall smell is like a fresh pear mango a bit soapy and the dry down got some musk to it and a tad sweet but not gourmand like, definitely more masculine than turathi electric. The performance is very good, on skin it last 6-7 Hour, and on clothes it stays on all day, the silage and projection is medium, not loud and annoying but also not quite, so it's still a safe office scent. Overall a very good fragrance especially considering the price.

Favorite dupe of blue talisman. Takes the best of blue talisman and amplifies it by making it a touch fruitier. Banger

Initial impressions of this left me with mixed results. On one hand, this smells great in the air with its musky-fruity combo. However, it smells really synthetic and chemically in close quarters. I am also struggling to get that strong pear Blue Talisman opening, and instead I’m getting an overdose of mango instead. Kind of like a sticky 7D dried mango. Performance and longevity also struggles, and I only get about 2 hours of projection with about 6 hours of longevity, and it is even worse on skin. And that is with a strong 6-7 sprays. Will let this sit for a couple of months and come back to it again to see if things improve.

Never tried Blue Talisman, only it's other dupe, Art of Universe. Compared to that, this is less peary and candy-y than AoU, but more berry-ish. I feel like it's more appropriate for the gym. (got a compliment yay)

Sooo. I've had this before fragrantica had it up for review. It's nice, like Turathi Electric but both give me a headache. I don't wanna know what blue talisman even smells like anymore or own it. Their nice to smell on others but not to wear yourself IMO. If you can wear this kind of DNA and you like it, it's a good pick. There is NOT much mango and it's NOT similar to opulent dubai or god of fire or a mix of blue talisman and god of fire. Turathi electric and opulent dubai layered do NOT smell remotely close to Barari Coral. Barari coral smells like turathi electric with a slightly thicker fruit juice. But their 85-95% similar. I think Barari is the better quality.

On paper you can differentiate between the ingredients but on skin it smells like a synthetic mess. Dont reccomend

I like when these clone houses take two popular fragrances and mix them, however this one didn't work for me. Something about doesn't blend well and like previously mentioned it comes off as a chemical odor. I honestly can't even decipher the notes I'm smelling. I can see this as headache inducing for some people. I had an early production bottle and didn't give it a chance to sit but with how un-natural this smelled I don't think maturation would have fixed it for me.

Always sample before buying and save yourself $$$ on wasted blind buys :) If anyone's interested in a sample at the best price check it out at my website: Decantified.com we have them all! ---- thank you! Here is my honest review for Fragrantica: I've worn Zimaya Al Barari Coral twice now, and I have to say I really like the fragrance. It's a sweet, fruitier version of Blue talisman. In Blue talisman you can feel there are more layers to it. The more you smell it, the more notes you discover. With Coral it feels that the notes all kind of hit you at once. So yes it's more linear, but honestly this is only if you really smell it up close and fixate on the difference. Otherwise the difference in quality is so small I don't see why it should matter to most people. Zimaya Barari Coral is a fantastic fragrance. What I will mention is that to me Blue Talisman smells a little more feminine then Coral. I'm not sure exactly what notes are giving this impression, but I do remember when I wore Blue Talisman about 1 month ago for the first time, feeling at times that this is more for a female. Also I recall smelling Blue Talisman on quite woman I've been with in the past before actually know anything about fragrances and realizing it was Blue Talisman I was smelling. I had no problem wearing Coral. In fact I really enjoyed it quite a lot. And I wanted to spray more on myself after some time passed, but I had to restrain myself in able to give accurate review here about the performance. It definitely has a little more of a mango smell then Blue Talisman, I'm not a huge fan of it, but it's not as bad or intense as God of Fire. The first time I wore it, it performed better then the second for some reason. I recall spraying the same amount... perhaps the sprays landed less on me the second time around. I got about 1 1/2 - 2 hours of decent projection. It lasted on my skin just about all day. After the 2nd hour, projection went down a lot. I remember Blue Talisman projecting for longer. But then again, Coral is brand new with zero maturation. So it's going to improve most likely. But like I said, after 8 hours I could still smell it on my clothes and slightly on my skin. So average projection and longevity. The second time I wore it, I started to get more comparisons to God of Fire clones I've worn. Especially Sceptre Malechite. But to me this is a much more enjoyable version then that. It's not so overbearing with the Mango. But it's definitely there. Top Notes Bergamot, Ginger, Mango, Orange, Pear Heart Notes Cedar. Orange Blossom, Red berries Base Notes Amber, Musk Rating: Scent profile 8.7/10 Longevity 7/10 Sillage 7/10 Overall Rating 8.3/10 Conclusion.. I have to grab all my Blue talisman clones and do a final battle to see how they all measure up against the Blue Talisman I have. This one would easily replace Blue Talisman for me, and save me hundreds of dollars. Grab a decant and try it out yourself if you interested in seeing how it lives up to the OG. Oh while you're at it, grab a decant of Art of Universe as well. For now, I've always considered this my favorite dupe of Blue Talisman, but with a beautiful twist. I have to pit these against each other and see whether it replaces Art of Universe or not.

This is not fragnance that makes you had to think about who the inspirator is, but its unique bcs you will have two notes like two parfume without layering and its perfect suitable in my opinion. Easy but sure.

This was one of my favourites for a few weeks, and then it suddenly turned super chemical, rubbery and unwearable. I don’t know why... Really sweet pear and mango, unisex, feminine leaning.

This a Certified Banger 🔥🔥, recommend to pick up asap. Smells amazing for the summer 🌞. Fabulous Scent profile. Sillage is long lasting and great performance.

Straight banger here. The longevity is good as well.
