Just about every time I've worn this fragrance, I get unsolicited compliments from men ad women. I had two guys stop me at work and ask me what I was wearing and made me show them the fragrance on Dua's website. A girl a Starbucks told me I smelled amazing and wanted to know what I was wearing. That Mango, ginger and ambroxan pop off my skin. It had a cough syrup vibe when I first got it, but after letting it sit for about 3 months, it smells great. Lasts about 6-7 hours on skin and the whole day on clothes. I give it a 8.5/10. Definitely one of my most complimented fragrances.

Just got my bottle and sprayed it. I've never smelled "Reflection Man," so I can't compare to the OG. My first thought when I sprayed Shiyaka Silver though, "Smells like LeMale or Perry Ellis 360 White." That's not bad, but I just thought it would be something different. I've heard people say The OG smells like a Niche version of LeMale, so I was expecting that some, but this smells a lot like LeMale and Perry Ellis 360 White. I need to spend more time with it since I just got it yesterday. As a first impression, I rate it a 6.5/10.

I love the Aventus DNA, so I have several clones or inspirations, (CDNIM EDP, Supremacy Silver, Not Only Intense, Dua's Poseidon's Elixir, Insurrection Pure 2, etc). This one is my least favorite of them all. Not that it smells bad. It's fruity, with a little sweetness. Reminds me of Wrigley's Juicy Fruit gum. On me it lasts maybe three or four hours. It also sits close to the skin. I thought it may need to sit for a while. So it's sat for about three months but it's still kinda weak. I wore it today and it was almost gone after that three hour mark. I ended up spraying CDNIM when I got home. Next time I'll spray seven or eight times to see if that helps. I rate this 6.5/10.

I purchased a 50ML of Davidoff Run Wild about three years ago. I wore it maybe a hand-full of times since purchasing it. I thought it was nice but nothing special! I wore it today for the first time in about two years. Man! It smells really nice! You get Cinnamon, Ginger, and some Lavender when you first spray it on. Semi-sweet bubble-gum smell. It can come off slightly aquatic as well. As it dries down you get this slightly pine-green and vanilla smell. I sprayed this morning around 8:30am and it's still projecting well and it's around 2:30pm. I sprayed about six times on skin and clothes. I think it lasts about 7-8 hours on clothes. This is a very nice fragrance! When I first purchased it, it smelled very synthetic. Now that it's sat for a few years, it smells well blended. Call it Maceration or Oxidation, it's a real thing. I rate this fragrance 8/10.

Turathi Blue is a very nice fragrance. I've smelled Tygar and it smells very similar. I will say this is definitely a good alternative if you don't have Tygar money. Honestly, I think the scent profile is overrated. I actually had Alexandria's Black Panther before Turathi Blue and I like Black Panther better, but TB has better price point and you get 100 ml for about $40 instead of 30 ml. If you like citrus/woody scents you'll like this. It's a really simple scent profile that's an easy wear. Blast of grapefruit from the opening spray. You can detect some pink pepper as well. Has a slightly creamy and woody dry down. I've worn it several times over the past year and not gotten any compliments yet. When I wore Black Panther, I've gotten several compliments. Turathi Blue has strong projection for first couple of hours. Lasts on me about 6 hours, although I may go nose blind to it. There's a good amount of ambroxin in this. It's a nice fragrance and can be a signature scent, but it's not a must have! If I ever get through this bottle and I want the scent profile again, I will probably buy Black Panther. Smells slightly better and lasts all day. I give Turathi Blue a 7.5 out of 10.
