Lattafa Art of Universe 100ml Eau de Parfum

Twice the bottle. About a sixth of the price.

Bergamot · Mandarin · Ginger · Mint · Orange Blossom · Pear · Cedarwood · Amber · Musk — 100ml Eau de Parfum, 100% authentic, dispatched from the UK.

Ex Nihilo’s Blue Talisman is one of the most talked-about fresh niche fragrances of recent years: ginger, citrus and pear over clean musk. It is also around £180 for 50ml at UK department stores. That price is the reason a lot of people land on this page.

Lattafa Art of Universe launched in 2025 under the Lattafa Pride label and was quickly picked up by reviewers as the Lattafa answer to Blue Talisman. It opens bright and fizzy, with ginger and mint over juicy citrus, then settles into ripe pear and a clean cedar-and-musk base.

Art of Universe shares the Blue Talisman building blocks — bergamot, ginger, mandarin, pear, orange blossom and musk — but it is brighter, sweeter and mintier than the Ex Nihilo. It is not a note-for-note tracing, and Lattafa doesn’t market it as one.

We’ll set out where the two match and where they part company below, along with the two things reviewers flag most: the sweetness, and a sharp opening on some fresh bottles.

Nine notes across three tiers — the full Lattafa Art of Universe notes list, in the order you’ll meet them.

Often compared with Ginger, Pear & Cedar Fresh Woody. Authentic Lattafa Art of Universe 100ml Eau de Parfum, held in the UK with free tracked delivery.
