    I'm still laughing with the review below - Yes, it's true - Talisman "wears" you. It's very 90's (I used to wear it occasionally in the 90's :0)) - strong and sweet. Lychee, rum, rose, jasmine,...

    Goes on very fruity and floral in such a nice way. Drying down, there is more floral and less fruit, though the fruit effect is still there. It does tend to get a bit over-sweet at the end, and I...

    This is an emphatic scent. It is rich sweet dried fruits at first, followed by deep honeyed amber with cloves floating in and out. It is not a scent that you find immediately appealing, I think...

    Not a fan of the initial blast of Talisman which smells like the fruity flavored old shiny glue they used to put on envelopes that you had to lick to seal (Dark Ages when people did handwritten...

    This is so good to wear out on winter nights as it is such a warm fragrance. I found it to have a trail of smokey black wood, that last longer than Donna Karan, is similar to it but not as strong...

    An underappreciated spicy gourmand. The honeyed scent offers a rich and long lasting drydown. It's spicy but feminine, not at all heavy or unisex. Nice sillage. It;s got a gingerbready cake (not...

    Talisman has to have one of universe's great bottles. Juice - reminds me of Senso,that sweet incense note. Powdery chypre. Not so much fruit as I'd been led to expect, or not a tart plum or deep...

    This is just awful on me. It is so strong and sweet. Smells harsh. I had to wash it off after about a half hour and I could still smell the awful stench on my skin. YUCK.

    Ever since Luca Turin gave this a glowing review, I just had to revisit this scent! Wow, it really is marvelous! It is quite deep and complex and takes time on the skin to unfold. I found a...

    Background & notes: Created in 1994. Talisman by Balenciaga opens with a fruity-floral accord of lychee, dried fruits and osmanthus enhanced by a rum effect and davana. A blend of rose, jasmine,...
