5ml sample decant of Afnan Turathi Electric, inspired by Ex Nihilo Blue Talisman. Hand decanted to order, flat £5 including free UK delivery.
Turathi Electric is a bright, diffusive citrus fragrance that captures the DNA of Ex Nihilo Blue Talisman, built around juicy pear, sparkling citrus and a clean musky woody base, positioned as a unisex fragrance rather than a feminine one. Product Overview Turathi Electric is Afnan's interpretation of Ex Nihilo's 2023 release Blue Talisman, one of the most talked about "hotel lobby" style scents of recent years. Where the original sits at a steep niche price point, Turathi Electric delivers the same fresh, fruity, airy character at a fraction of the cost. This is a unisex fragrance, worn equally by men and women, and it should never be filed under feminine only. Scent Profile The opening is bright and juicy, led by pear and citrus (bergamot and mandarin orange) with a sparkling ginger lift that gives the fragrance its "electric" energy. The heart moves into orange blossom over a synthetic woody musk accord, echoing the Georgywood note that defines the original's clean, polished character. The base settles into soft musk and pale cedar, giving the fragrance its signature airy, diffusive quality rather than a heavy or syrupy finish. Technical Structure and Development The structure is built for maximum diffusion in the first few hours, a hallmark of the modern niche "clean fresh" school Blue Talisman helped popularize, rather than a classical pyramid built for slow unfolding. Performance Strong projection for the first 2 to 3 hours, settling into a moderate skin scent that stays detectable up close for 6 to 8 hours. This is a fragrance built to be noticed on first impression rather than to last all day at full strength, consistent with how the original performs. Wear Scenarios - Office and daytime wear, where a clean, fresh presence reads as polished without being overpowering - Warm weather and summer, where the citrus and pear opening feels appropriate rather than heavy - First dates and social settings, where the diffusive opening makes a strong first impression - Layering under a heavier evening fragrance for added freshness Scent Family Positioning Fresh, fruity, citrus aromatic. Sits alongside other clean musky citrus fragrances rather than the traditional Arabian oud or amber families more commonly associated with Afnan's catalogue. Inspired By/Style Comparisons Directly inspired by Ex Nihilo Blue Talisman. Fans of Initio's Paragon, another fragrance frequently compared to Blue Talisman for its similar airy citrus musk profile, will also find Turathi Electric familiar territory. Flankers and Variations Ex Nihilo has since released a Blue Talisman Extrait de Parfum (2025), a stronger, longer lasting version of the same DNA. Afnan has not currently released a parallel extrait version of Turathi Electric. Market and Community Reception Blue Talisman is widely regarded in the fragrance community as one of the defining "clean fresh" niche releases of the past few years, frequently cited as a compliment magnet. Interpretations like Turathi Electric exist specifically to bring that same effect to a mainstream price point, and community reception of Afnan's citrus musk fragrances in this style has generally been positive on value grounds.
