This is a very, very good alternative to Blue Talisman; I would say about 80-85% similarity, although the original simply has better quality. The longevity is unfortunately just okay, around 4-5 hours, while the sillage has a lot of room for improvement. You can smell the fragrance well for the first 1-2 hours, but after that, it’s only close to the skin. Nevertheless, a very successful scent.
