The best Tygar-esque so far
I have had the chance to have bottles or sample a bunch of Tygar type fragrances.
- Afnan Turathi Blue
- Louis Vuitton Afternoon Swim
- Sospiro Vibrato
- Bvlgari Tygar
The problem with most of them is that they felt incomplete. Either the citrus was too overpowering with not enough humph to make thins interesting (Afternoon Swim) or the drydown was too powdery (Vibrato). Longevity was the best with Tygar, but it was too simple to justify its price.
Enter Aqua de Dora. This honestly makes the Tygar DNA complete. The opening is juicy citrus but never overpowering or sharp. And the drydown somehow reminds of a mix of the sweet soapy aspect of LV's Imagination and the fig fruity smell of Fico di Amalfi. The chestnut is definitely there but only helps adding a nutty depth to the smell. And the smoothness of the cashmeran and sandalwood are just lovely. Woody and creamy, with some slight citrus aspects from the opening.
Longevity is around 8-10 hours with medium projection for the first 3-4. It is so strong that it can be used as a signature for year round use. The bottle feels incredibly high quality, the cap is amazing, and the atomizer is pressurized and spreads a lot of liquid on each spray.
If you find it for under $200, it is a steal for what you get. Glad to have found this hidden gem.
