Tygar, Is that You?
Like most of the brand’s releases, this one also follows current perfume trends, offering you something that provides incredible value if you’re searching for a great alternative to the much more popular Bvlgari fragrance. I thoroughly enjoyed my journey with Armaf’s offering. It’s a vibrant, complex scent that kept me intrigued through its entire wear. In a few words: it’s freshly sparkly, then warmly sexy.
TOP NOTES
This is how you do a proper clone perfume and give even more to your customers. There are no cutbacks on ingredients and a proper high-end release for less than you would spend for dinner. On my skin, the initial spray emerges as a vibrant citrus-fruity blast. I immediately detect the scents of grapefruit and bergamot, which provide a lively, zesty freshness. Along with the fruitiness, there’s a dash of pink pepper spice that tickles the nostrils and adds a lively “zing” to the citrus. It is very sparkling and energetic, and even after these short couple of minutes, you know that you have found the best alternative to Bvglari’s Tygar.
HEART NOTES
About 20 minutes in, the fragrance softens into the heart. There are some florals here, but not as much as the note breakdown would suggest. I mainly detect some faint Lily of the Valley, gentle rose, and a pinch of magnolia. The rest of the heart is that pink pepper going strong and ambroxan slowly creeping in even before the base notes start to show up.
BASE NOTES
After about 2–3 hours, Armaf dries down to its base. To be honest, the only things I get here are the white musk and a heavy dose of quite pleasing ambroxan that creates an ultra-modern aroma. It is a simple but effective creation that is easy to describe and does its job better than expected each time I wear it.
OVERALL
Most likely, the only one I’ll keep from the whole line is the one I’ll use on hot summer days when I just want to smell great and not think too much about it. You have my warmest recommendation if you love this style of perfumery.
