- Reddit generally views this as an inspired twist rather than a direct 1:1 clone, sharing a similar overall vibe with Blue Talisman.
- Reviewers note it is much sweeter and fruitier, leaning heavily toward candied fruit notes with massive projection.
- Reactions are polarized: some consider it an impressive, high-value blind buy, while others find the sweetness overwhelmingly synthetic and nauseating.

reddit post ↗“AoU is quite different, I consider it much more gourmand twist.”
reddit ↗“It is the furthest from 1:1 to Blue talisman that I've come across. But also a perfect example of how sometimes the dupe can surpass the OG. For me, it's not necessarily the quality, but rather the smell itself that I like more with Art of”
reddit ↗“Funny think i was getting Talisman decant because it would be worth it to buy because how Universe smells & project .. big surprise i dont like it because for me the charm with Universe is that its sweet and Talisman its not , its more fres”
reddit ↗“Lattafa will be the last place. In haven't smelled the OG, but have 2 other clones (Bujairami Enforcer and Shobi Blue Talisman). Lattafa is very far from both, and it's a known twist.”
