Helpful Review
Like a jump into the cool pool.
After frequently using Parfumo to make a purchase decision, get inspired, or browse through the many beautiful reviews, I now dare to submit my first review. Since my nose is by no means trained enough to provide a "professional" overview of fragrances, I will try to paint a complete picture.
I bought Turathi Blue as a blind buy because the price was good and the reviews sounded promising. Additionally, I enjoy fresh scents.
The packaging is convincing, especially when considering the price. The bottle also feels high-quality, which I think is partly due to its weight. There is one downside: the bottle doesn't stand as "securely" as it could have - but well.
I expected a scent that I already know, something citrusy, something fresh. So I sprayed the fragrance for the first time. I have and know scents that I find "refreshing," but the "freshness" that hit me here is on a new level. A level of freshness that I had not experienced before. A freshness that can quickly become overwhelming if over-applied. While other fragrances have at most reached a level that might remind one of childhood, when battles were fought with various water guns - here, it hits you like a jet of water from a fire hose. This direct, very present, and dominant freshness works well with 1-2 sprays, but with too much, especially in combination with the citrusy notes, it becomes too much for me personally and then feels artificial. With fewer sprays, I don't experience this artificiality at all; the scent then feels almost natural and very refreshing. Alongside the fresh-citrusy direction, a woody spiciness gradually joins in, which is also very pleasant.
Especially since I initially have this water battle or "jump into the cool pool of the public swimming pool" association in my mind, the scent exudes a certain lightness and cheerful carefreeness for me.
The fragrance is perfect for summer, and I am glad I bought it. For such a fresh scent, it lasts long and well on me. The sillage is also not to be underestimated and certainly doesn't need to hide. Moreover, the scent is well-received, both by women and men. There have already been several compliments, even from people who have never commented on a fragrance before or who are not particularly interested in scents.
At a price of around €30, it is definitely recommendable; even if someone doesn't like the scent, it should be relatively easy to find a new owner.

Schöne erste Rezension zu einem Duft den ich mir selbst auch auf Empfehlung hin als blindbuy zugelegt habe und es nicht bereut habe. Ein tolles Parfum für die warme Jahreszeit. Interessant ist, dass viele Ihn als sehr ähnlich zum Bulgari Tygar empfinden. Dieser ist im Jahr 2016 erschienen, nur konnte ich Ihn leider noch nicht testen. Was mich aber absolut sprachlos macht, ist die krasse Ähnlichkeit zum Birkholz Portraits of Portofino. Dieser ist von 2022, also einem Jahr nach dem Turathi Blue erschienen und ich persönlich rieche überhaupt keinen Unterscheid. Hält man sich die Preise von Bulgari als auch Birkholz vor Augen, kann man hier überhaupt nichts falsch machen. Eher gleich 2 Stück bestellen :-)

Vielen Dank für das Kompliment. :) Von der Ähnlichkeit zum Tygar habe ich auch einiges gelesen, konnte aber selbst keinen Vergleich ziehen. Den, von dir erwähnten, Birkholz kannte ich noch nicht. Bevor ich mir einen Flakon als Backup zulege, teste ich erstmal den Rue Broca Théorème - habe da verschiedenes gelesen, die einen sagen, es ist 1 zu 1 der Turathi nur "billig" verpackt und günstiger. Einige sagen er ist künstlicher als der Turathi und dann gibt es noch die, die von einer besseren Performance als beim Turathi sprechen.
