One of Afnan's best & king of versatility

Afnan really knows how to hit the mark, and Turathi Blue is no exception. If you’re a fan of citrus-based scents, this one’s a no-brainer. It’s a 95% Tygar clone, which actually lasts.

The versatility of Turathi Blue is where this fragrance truly shines. Depending on how you apply it and what you're wearing, it can shift between sporty and elegant effortlessly, a real wildcard in your collection.
It is linear, yes... but also the OG is.

Bonus fact: It’s also strikingly similar to Montabaco Verano, so if you like that, you'll love this too. It also works as a replacement for LV's L'Immensité. Certainly not a clone, but definitely close enough.
Afnan may charge a bit more than average, but the quality (also presentation wise) more than justify the extra cost.

A great "chalternative"

I am still not sure enough about this but here I go. This is a very good fragrance for the money. I feel like this is an alternative for bleu de chanel more amplified on the citrus part.
The grapefruit is so intense that it feels almost like a rotten grapefruit. Too zesty, too pungent. Some will say that it's very synthetic actually. Close to the skin will be too scratchy to sniff. Even after 2 hours. The overall feeling, a woody, zesty and very sharp citrusy smell. Perhaps not a bad thing but I feel that the amplified citruses and zestiness from here can be too much for many users.
Anyway, for the price, you have a great presentation, heavy bottle, big solid box and a very pleasant overall smell.
I am sorry that I've set higher expectations about it because I was a bit dissapointed when I finally got it.
For me, the brown version is far superior to this. Better smell&quality overall.

Performance ? Good or very good we can say. Around 8 hours.
Projection pretty good also, it might overcome the projection of bleu de chanel and be better. I think it's better than chanel in the performance category but it doesn't have the same quality.
For the ordinary people, in the air this will smell pretty good and appealing.

Very good price for the value and the bottle is at least decent.
If you don't have where to test it, you can blind buy it for a very cheap price at times. Consider this not a clone of bleu de chanel but a reinterpretation of it, still woody, still masculine, still mass appeal but waaay more citrusy and somehow "sharper" for the nose.
Some of you will really love this.

As for the comparison with Bvlgari Tygar, I can't make any statement because I've never had the chance to smell it/test it.
As usual, I recommend you to try anything first before buying but if you are brave enough, any blind buy will do.

Overall : 7.9/10

Turathi Blue by Afnan

Fragrantica rating: 4.51/5
It starts with a fresh citrus (grapefruit) blast and dries down to a slightly woody and more spicy (peppery) scent. As compared to OG Le Gemme - Tygar , it resembles a lot in the beginning but not so much in the drydown. OG has a more woody drydown but this one has a more spicier (peppery) drydown.
Projection is moderate to strong and longevity is super great.
Overall, fresh & clean, sophisticated & elegant, mass pleasing, and an excellent value for money fragrance.
Note: if you are looking for a more economical version of this scent profile then Théorème pour Homme is also a good choice.

Nice, But Not Must Have!

Turathi Blue is a very nice fragrance. I've smelled Tygar and it smells very similar. I will say this is definitely a good alternative if you don't have Tygar money. Honestly, I think the scent profile is overrated. I actually had Alexandria's Black Panther before Turathi Blue and I like Black Panther better, but TB has better price point and you get 100 ml for about $40 instead of 30 ml. If you like citrus/woody scents you'll like this. It's a really simple scent profile that's an easy wear. Blast of grapefruit from the opening spray. You can detect some pink pepper as well. Has a slightly creamy and woody dry down. I've worn it several times over the past year and not gotten any compliments yet. When I wore Black Panther, I've gotten several compliments. Turathi Blue has strong projection for first couple of hours. Lasts on me about 6 hours, although I may go nose blind to it. There's a good amount of ambroxin in this. It's a nice fragrance and can be a signature scent, but it's not a must have! If I ever get through this bottle and I want the scent profile again, I will probably buy Black Panther. Smells slightly better and lasts all day. I give Turathi Blue a 7.5 out of 10.

Tygar Clone

IMO, this smells like Bvlgari Tygar with some extra spices thrown in. Extreme compliment beast for me so far. Lasts really long and projects well for a few hours, then I get wafts for about 7-8 hours, especially for the price point. You definitely have to like Ambroxan. Its Citrus, Ambroxan, Very Light Spices & Woods. Not bad for under $40. Already bought a backup. Prob my most used fragrance in the hot climate in which I live.
