Pros & Cons
- ✅ This is an absolute banger from this brand. I blind bought this as a more masculine clone of Blue Talisman and it definitely didn't disappoint. It's very smoky but in a very smooth way, has this undertone of citrus, blue shower gel scent. I think this is a masterpiece and the price tag is phenomenal.
- ✅ I never vibed with Blue Talisman and the hype this summer was wild to me. I have no problem rocking fem leaning scents, but that one always felt a little too glassy and sterile. I kept thinking if someone took that DNA and gave it some weight and shadow it would finally make sense. Kohl Opulence gave it that treatment. It opens with a bright bergamot, ginger, and pear pop…then shifts into a soft floral-woody haze. Instead of staying squeaky clean like the OG, it brings a gentle warmth that makes it feel fuller, richer, and more versatile. I’m getting a solid 8 hours out of it with no problem. Early on it pushes out nicely and you’ll catch that bright spark floating around you for a few hours before it settles closer to the skin. Not a beast, not weak either…just reliably strong and steady the whole ride. If you’re burned out on the usual blue freshies, this is an easy dumb reach without thinking twice. It still gives you that clean brightness up top, but the added warmth and depth make it more interesting.
- ✅ If you have Turathi Electric this smells the same but i do like the added leather note in this. The leather isnt as weak as I thought it would be, so if your not a fan of leather just get turathi electric, smells the same without the leather. (The leather in this kinda smells like a car leather). With this I get 4 hours of projection and 9-10 hours of longevity. 9.4/10. (Arabiyat Prestige is the highest quality middle eastern house to my knowledge)

- ❌ Today I learned a lesson, never blind buy Middle Eastern perfumes, specifically when they are promoted by so-called good influences. Other than synthetic incense I don’t find anything good in this perfume. Third wrong blind buy in my life
- ❌ I have tried other blue talisman inspirations, this one is probably my least favorite of them all from one thing. While it does not list it in the notes, I get a surprise leather/smoky smell that I think really clashes with what this scent profile is trying to do. If you like leather/smoke in a fragrance, then you will like this take on BT. Performance is great and I can get 8 hours on skin out of this and projects just a bit outside of arms reach. I tested this as a decant and would not get a full bottle.
- ❌ This is rancid. Smells like cigarette smoke mixed with slightly fresh citrus.
