Afnan Turathi blue vs Rue Broca Théorème vs Lattafa Al Qiam Silver vs SAP Oud Leopard
So who has the best Tygar clone on the market?
I have owned all four and want to briefly outline the differences to make the decision a bit easier.
Right off the bat: "The best clone" does not exist here, as everyone interprets the Le Gemme - Tygar DNA a bit differently.
Turathi (Blue) focuses on a particularly fruity top note. The ginger plays more of a background role, giving the citrus a certain extra freshness. The drydown is dominated by Ambroxan and slightly powdery musk and amber notes. Soft woody and spicy notes can be perceived, but only very faintly, in my opinion.
Théorème pour Homme is very similar to Turathi (Blue) (after all, it is also produced by Afnan), but is a tad fresher. The focus in the top note is shifted a bit more towards a fresh bergamot, which makes the scent seem a bit more ozonic and fresh at the beginning. The drydown again contains rough amounts of Ambroxan and some musk. I hardly perceive any wood or spices here anymore. The longevity of Théorème pour Homme is not quite as good as that of Turathi (Blue), but Théorème pour Homme is also a bit fresher.
"Al Qiam Silver | Lattafa / لطافة" starts again with the typically fruity, citrusy top note. However, with "Al Qiam Silver | Lattafa / لطافة", this is accompanied by significantly more ginger, making it appear even more sparkling, fresh, and lively. One could say it’s like a fresh grapefruit-ginger lemonade. However, this top note lasts significantly shorter than that of Turathi (Blue). Ambroxan and musk are of course also present, but "Al Qiam Silver | Lattafa / لطافة" almost immediately brings in a portion of sandalwood and vetiver, creating a counterpoint to the citrus. While Turathi (Blue) and Théorème pour Homme were very citrus-focused, "Al Qiam Silver | Lattafa / لطافة" seems much more serious due to its woodiness. However, I find that the woodiness becomes a bit scratchy over time and takes over the scent too much. Unfortunately, "Al Qiam Silver | Lattafa / لطافة" has the shortest longevity of all four and ranks just behind Théorème pour Homme.
Oud Leopard starts similarly to "Al Qiam Silver | Lattafa / لطافة" with a slightly more ginger-focused top note. Here too, the top note is wonderfully sparkling, lively, and fresh. After a short time, woody notes, especially sandalwood, join in. However, these are complemented by very soft, spicy notes (which I can't quite identify). The citrusy, fruity, zesty top note of Oud Leopard also gradually recedes, but lasts longer than in "Al Qiam Silver | Lattafa / لطافة", which makes the scent seem more balanced in the further course. Especially the ginger consistently leaves a pleasant, invigorating freshness. Ambroxan and musk are of course also part of it. Oud Leopard ultimately concludes with what I find to be a very beautiful woody note. Of all four, it seems the most elegant, professional, and mature due to the woody notes, without losing its playful character. The longevity of Oud Leopard (which is said to even be an "Extrait de Parfum") is definitely better than that of Théorème pour Homme and approaches that of Turathi (Blue), although Oud Leopard does not scream as loudly as Turathi (Blue), which fits very well with its somewhat more elegant character.
While Turathi (Blue) and Théorème pour Homme are more summer fragrances, I can also imagine "Al Qiam Silver | Lattafa / لطافة" and especially Oud Leopard well in the colder seasons, as they should not lose their appeal in low temperatures due to their woody base. At the same time, they do not lose their suitability as summer fragrances. They are therefore a bit more versatile in terms of temperature.
So, I hope I could help you with my review.
