I got my 10 ml decant of Banadir40 after reading claims that it’s a near match for Blue Talisman. Scent-wise, it’s pretty spot on. That part really matches the reviews. The catch is performance. On my skin, projection is basically nonexistent and there’s no real sillage. I even tried on my clothes. Even after a week or two of wear, nobody’s noticed unless they’re right up close. My girlfriend couldn’t smell it from a few feet away, though she liked it when she leaned in. I am not sure if it needs more maceration.
If you want a close, personal scent and love the Blue Talisman profile, it’s a solid pick. But it won’t fill a room.
