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 already owned all four and want to briefly note the differences here to make the decision a little easier.
Directly in advance: "The best clone" does not exist here, because everyone interprets the "Le Gemme - Tygar | Bvlgari" DNA a little differently.
"Turathi (Blue) | Afnan Perfumes" puts the focus on a particularly fruity top note. The ginger plays here rather in the background and gives the citrus the certain extra freshness. The drydown is dominated by ambroxan and slightly powdery musk and amber notes. Gentle woody and spicy notes are perceptible, but only very weakly, in my opinion.
"Théorème pour Homme | Rue Broca" is very similar to "Turathi (Blue) | Afnan Perfumes" (it is also produced by Afnan, after all), but is still a tad fresher. The focus in the top note here is pushed a bit more to a fresh bergamot, which makes the scent seem a bit more ozonic, fresher at the beginning. The drydown again includes rough amounts of ambroxan and some musk. Wood and spices I perceive here virtually none more. The durability of "Théorème pour Homme | Rue Broca" is not quite as good as that of "Turathi (Blue) | Afnan Perfumes", but the "Théorème pour Homme | Rue Broca" is also somewhat fresher.
"Al Qiam Silver | Lattafa / لطافة" starts again with the typical fruity, citrus top note. However, this is accompanied by significantly more ginger in the "Al Qiam Silver | Lattafa / لطافة", which makes it seem even more bubbly, fresh and lively. You could say a fresh grapefruit-ginger lemonade. However, this top note also lasts much shorter than the one from "Turathi (Blue) | Afnan Perfumes". Ambroxan and musk are also present, of course, but "Al Qiam Silver | Lattafa / لطافة" also brings a dose of sandalwood and vetiver almost from the start, which creates a counterpoint to the citrus. Where "Turathi (Blue) | Afnan Perfumes" and "Théorème pour Homme | Rue Broca" were still very citric-focused, "Al Qiam Silver | Lattafa / لطافة" seems much more serious due to its woodiness. However, I find that the woodiness gets a bit scratchy over time and takes over the scent too much. Unfortunately, "Al Qiam Silver | Lattafa / لطافة" holds up the worst of the four and ranks just behind the "Théorème pour Homme | Rue Broca" in this regard.
"Oud Leopard | SAP" starts similarly to "Al Qiam Silver | Lattafa / لطافة" with a slightly more Inger-emphasized top note. Again, the top note is wonderfully effervescent, lively, fresh. After a short time, woody notes join in here as well, especially sandalwood. However, these are complemented here by quite gentle, spicy notes (which I can't quite place). The citrusy, fruity, tangy top note also gradually recedes a bit in "Oud Leopard | SAP" of course, but lasts longer than in "Al Qiam Silver | Lattafa / لطافة", which also makes the fragrance seem more balanced as it progresses. The ginger in particular leaves a pleasant, invigorating freshness throughout. Ambroxan and musk are also naturally in the mix. "Oud Leopard | SAP" ultimately fades out on what I find to be a very nice woody note. Of all four, the woody notes make it seem the most noble, professional / adult, without losing its playful character. The durability of the "Oud Leopard | SAP" (should even be an "Extrait de Parfum") is definitely better than that of the "Théorème pour Homme | Rue Broca" and goes in the direction of "Turathi (Blue) | Afnan Perfumes", although the "Oud Leopard | SAP" does not scream quite as loudly as the "Turathi (Blue) | Afnan Perfumes", which, however, fits very well with its somewhat nobler character.
While "Turathi (Blue) | Afnan Perfumes" and "Théorème pour Homme | Rue Broca" are rather summer fragrances, I can imagine "Al Qiam Silver | Lattafa / لطافة" and above all "Oud Leopard | SAP" also still good in the cold seasons, since these should not go down even at low temperatures due to the woody base. At the same time, they do not lose their suitability as summer fragrances. So they are a little more versatile in terms of temperature.
So, I hope I could help you with my review.
