What Reddit owners say
4/5“Each to their own but i don't agree with most of what you have said apart from that liquid brun is good, Turathi is not 100 percent BDC epd it has slight differences and I own both and now turathi blue has matured I actually prefer to the Bleu but like with most things on reddit that's just an opinion and absolutely understand if anyone chooses to disagree so please don't get upset that I don't agree with your reviews like a lot of people on Reddit tend to”
5/5 Value“Same with Turathi Electric Blue.”
3/5“I hate everyone of the fragrances that you listed with the exception of Turathi Blue.”
4/5 Value“I have tried Lataffa Al Qiam Silver, Afnan Turathi blue, the Woods Collection Panorama, and Alexandria Black Panther.”
5/5 Fresh & cleanValue“agree on that, turathi blue is best fresh fragrance i have tried. Smells expensive, fresh, longevity and projection are good, and super versatile. Lattafa art of universe is much sweeter and fruitier, it is not as classy and professional.”

4/5“I have unloaded SCE, Turathi Blue, Asad, Hawas Ice, and Opulent Dubai, which were all said to be quite good. They just didn't hit it for me.”
4/5 Fresh & cleanSynthetic / harsh“SOTD - Afnan Turathi Blue EDP Nice clone of Bvlgari Tygar. It opens with a massive blast of juicy, tart grapefruit, which settles into a clean, slightly salty, and powdery musk with woody ambroxan-like undertones. I'll try to run this in a side-by-side test with Dumont Bravanzo Vestige EDP in the near future as that's a more mature take on the dna, which I grabbed to allow for a more seasonal split.”
5/5“afnan turathi blue, lataffa asad bourbon, armaf club de nuit precioux, rayhaan aquatica and armaf urban man elixir are some of the best fragrances i have come across. french avenue aether extrait is pretty good too”
4/5“Turathi Blue is crazy tho - it's really really good and close i've owned both”
4/5 Sweetness“Bvlgari Tygar - Theoreme (i owned it's on frsher side) / turathi for heavy dark and sweet opening Amouage outlands - rayhaan terra (very dark mature scent profile good blend)”
2/5 Formal“Turathi Blue was the first ME bottle that I emptied, and I didn't even like it that much, but it was just an easy dumb reach, all year round, day, night, formal, informal, it just worked. Recently I sampled Maison Asrar Majesty and it got me hooked on Tygar clones again. It's similar to TB but better, I can't explain it, but it has something that smells higher quality to me and lasts a little longer”
3/5 UniqueValue“I have the Art of Universe .. it's decent . Stronger than the Turathi .. I want pick up the Game of spades version but waiting on the price to drop .. speaking of Art of Universe have you tried Art of Wood . I hated it and it sat for 6 months … sprayed it on the other night before bed and it hit me different .. I think I might love it”
4/5“Turathi blue will be great if u also like bit musky, I would also suggest afnan rare reef as I have tried decant its a great citrusy frag.”
2/5 Longevity“I've used azure royal AAM, Rasasi Hawas, Zeleny, Turathi electric but they happen to change the character in the drydown. Vulcan felt so linear and it's not long lasting at all”
4/5 Fresh & cleanSummer“I currently wear blue by ahmed not gonna lie you love this fragrance it's feels like you get a shower and feel fresh but one downside is the longevity not hold more than 2 hr required re-spray and idk about dreams never used that but i use similar fragrance turathi blue which have ginger note and personally that is meh 😑 for me. My take for Blue by ahmed 👍 just remember re spray after 2 or 3 hrs and enjoy the summer also there is one more suggestion from my side Rare Reef Kaaf Ngl Blind buy worthy”

4/5 Longevity“Turathi Blue listed as bad performance compared to Island is wild lol 2 sprays of Blue and im good for the day and smelling it on myself all day long. Wife smelled it 14 hours later on me Island two sprays and I have a nice poopouri and then if I *realllly* snif my clothes I can smell it 8 hours later faintly. Good scent though”
5/5 LongevityUnique“Goat musc dosent sound very pretty 😵💫🤔.... Shame that the Tygar/Vibrato DNA dosent work that well... I got myself some few bottles of different clones for this DNA and want to say that Mykenos is the best far even with good longevity . The best smelling one at the other hand is Maison Alhambra version but the longevity sucks also Turathi Blue is ok but the grapefruit its somehow not right ..”
1/5“Forth I wore turathi and she hated it. So I would avoid that one but that's just from my experience”
5/5“Afnan Turathi Blue. Smells exactly like Bvlgari Tygar. Im on my second bottle of this amazing juice.”
3/5 Unique“I love this dna but I found vibrato non existent on me. I sold it and bought Turathi blue. So weird how we can have different experiences of the same fragrance.”
1/5“Hate to be that guy but that's not Turathi blue, it's Turathi Electric.....anyway, thoughts on it? I have it also and I haven't been reaching for it as much as I thought I would be.”
2/5“I used Turathi Blue after going through lots of reviews, not really impressed... ASCE was a lot more likeable, atleast for me.”
5/5 Everyday“Have you tried Kaaf? If you liked Turathi Blue, it's likely that you'll love this one. The longevity is probably the best out there and you'll always smell like you just showered. It's my daily driver.”
5/5 Projection“Afnan rare reef, turathi blue, bestestt is armaf odyssey aqua edition, sillage projection and longevity is beast mode, u won't believe how much it costs, Google it, I got 2, 200 mls”
4/5“Try hawas ice or I have heard good about turathi blue.”
4/5“I think we have very similar experiences! I've heard great things about Al Qiam Silver, I have Turathi Blue instead. Same DNA and around the same longevity for me. Most people say Turathi lasts about 5-6h tops, for me, it lasts easily 10-12h.”
5/5 ValueSummer“I also sprayed on Aristo after reading your review , it's just sooo so good. Also have turathi and Ravine laying around here. Aristo beats Turathi in every scent aspect. It actually develops over time, has much less musk and designer Quality. If it was cheaper from where I live I would definitely buy it. Perfect summer fragrance. But I have to say, from these three Turathi performs the longest. With two sprays I get about Turathi 5+ hours Aristo 4 hours Ravine Ginger 4 hours”
4/5“Does this smell like Turathi Blue/Bvlgari Tygar Clone, if you know that sent? It shows it does on Fragrantica. I bought it blind and it took me a couple days to actually like it. But it smells like grapefruit to me more than ginger. I want a ginger based cologne and I'm wondering if this is it.”
2/5 Summer“I have Turathi Blue, and don't like it at all. The spices in it puts it more in an early fall for me rather than a summer frag.”
2/5 Synthetic / harshValue“[Afnan Turathi Blue](https://featherab.com/shopit?q=Afnan%2BTurathi%2BBlue%2Bfragrance) is a useful baseline if you want the popular budget reference.”
4/5 UniqueHeadaches“I see, although I do not get headaches from it, Art of Universe doesn't go well on my skin and it smells very offensive to my nose. I had to sell my bottle :D. Then I tried Turathi blue and was just repulsed because it reminded me of AoU. I see you also dont like Fakhar Black, which is heavy in my rotation. Good to know how everyone has a different nose and olfactory sense.”
4/5“I have Majesty (only frag from MA) but don't have Tygar to compare it to. But i have Vibrato which is in same realm. The difference between between these two is small - Vibrato being a bit more citrus forward and Majesty being a bit more bold. I also have Turathi Blue and Theoreme (Rue Broca) - which is clthe cheapest and probably my fav. It all comes down to personal preference but all i can say is that Majesty is very solid frag (made me feel bad for buying Vibrato) and it easily lasts me 6-8 hours.”
5/5“you collecting all of em? lol I would have gotten Majesty and Vanguard cos I love those scent profiles but I heard about them AFTER buying the turathi blue & asad elixir. Great to know if I run out I have a good alternative with MA.”
3/5 Sweetness“I found it super synthetically sweet and was basically unwearable on my skin. Really have to see if you like it, but it is definitely sweet. I kept turathi electric over it”
4/5“I get it though. Turathi Blue smells like old women's perfume to me. I've tried really hard to like it and I just can't get there.”
4/5 Unique“I got someone turathi brown and it smells nice idk any different from this”
5/5 Fresh & clean“I'm blasting through Shikaya Snow (I feel like I'm one of the few that likes it but it does fantastic on my skin and I love the fresh smell) Also turathi blue Jean Lowe Fantasme Anger Vague”
4/5 Value“And how dare you label turathi blue a 'expensive surf Excel wash'- ARE YOU RETARDED OR SOMETHING?”
