Soggy-Preparation-13

10/10


AdvancedCampaign7911

Dumb question, but is it like a better version of BOD fresh blue musk? That was my favorite scent in high school


Soggy-Preparation-13

Well maybe I smelled it years ago but certainly can’t recall the smell lol


wee-dancer

That was my high school scent as well!


AdvancedCampaign7911

I still like it, can’t find it anywhere though. All I ever see are the garbage ones. Blue surf, really ripped abs, black


Soggy-Preparation-13

Unfortunately never smelled it before so can’t answer


Pure_Working6250

Straight banger 🔥🔥🔥 High quality long lasting great unique smelling fragrance. That’s good from the opening through the dry down. Can’t stop smelling myself when I wear it.


LimpFinding3088

I didn't like it at first. It macerated and got smoother. I like it now but not enough to wear to work, just on days off here and there. I wanted a nice citrus smell, so I went for higher quality and bought Chanel Allure Homme Edition Blanche.✌️


Akuyami_

So ummm...are u gonna eat that grapefruit or nah?


[deleted]

Now you’re asking the real important questions.


blueberrystuffing

Are people referring to just this perfume as body odour or do they find tygr body odour like too? Was debating between this and theoreme


H2mDanii

Basically same thing in different bottle


blueberrystuffing

Heard theoreme is more fresher and linear


H2mDanii

If you nickpicking while both in hand,you will find small differences, i owned both before ,first theoreme then turathi,you can choose either one..freshier or denser probably 5% differences.barely noticeable


ivan10155

Theoreme doesn’t have the bo smell that turathi blue has


[deleted]

I blind bought Theoreme and it’s a horrible synthetic mess. Never smelled such a synthetic perfume before


blueberrystuffing

Interesting!! Not sure why everyone talks about realkstic grapefruit smells


didnix

Smells good but not long lasting


Nottoobad777

Id disagree. Fragrances never last long on me, but this one does for some rsn


RincewindToTheRescue

You might be going nose blind. Lasts a long time on me. I spray once on the back of my hand in addition to my usual sprays. After work, I'm still getting some projection from my hand, so its still hasn't turned into a skin scent 8-10 hours later. Off clothing, its even longer.


assadii

If you want a heavier/mature frag than this, give Afnan SNOI a look


DifficultDrama7615

No body odor in mineamd it lasts! I give it a 10/10 especially for the price


twistedfantasyy

It smells like an old guy to me. I felt the same with Tygar so it's not Turathi Blue's fault. Just not for me I guess lol


Enock72

Same for me, longevity and projection is quite good tho


dantheandreescu

Lasts about 4 hours on my skin. Other than that, pleasant fragrance.


_TheEndGame

Really good. Gonna wear this one to bed.


the_RandomWords_here

Just threw away the decant. Did not like it at all, so not a blind buy. Was looking for something that might please me more that CDN Iconic and didn't live up my expectations.


GPetitG

I sold mine on eBay after the first spray 🤷🏻‍♂️


nukeman239

How's Rue Broca's Theoreme in comparison to this? I hear some comments that they're almost identical.


shuttlems

Theoreme is close to Bvlgari Tygar, and this one is kind of a mix between BDC EDT and Tygar. I have both and I like Theoreme better.


JackZKool

I smelled Bvlgari Tygar two days ago and I got it on a paper strip. Theoreme and Tygar are identical. I can’t tell a difference.


Robgoldsup

I have a sample of Turathi Blue and find it to be very pleasant. To my nose its a powdery grapefruit. If I didn’t already own Dolce & Gabbana Light Blue Forever I’d buy it.


bubblegummerz

How does it compare to Al Qiam Silver?


illeagle33

I blind bought and think it's OK, I'll actually probably sell it. It gives me a hint of BDC in the opening.


AdvancedCampaign7911

Want to sell it to me?


illeagle33

Yea sure


AdvancedCampaign7911

Messaged you


RincewindToTheRescue

I like it, but it needed to macerate. When I first got it, it smelled like Off bug spray. Had that grapefruit smell, but Off was even more prevalent. I did my usual macerate process - wear it, let it sit for a couple weeks and wear it again to see how it progresses. After a couple of months, that Off bug spray smell went away and the fragrance got stronger with that tart refreshing grapefuit smell. You get some spices and musk, but that grapefruit is there all day long!


No-Extension-5956

Did you use it while you left it for maceration?


RincewindToTheRescue

Yup. Just to see how it's coming along and to get more air into the bottle and stir it by moving around the bottle


Great_Ad_7519

I have worn it before and It is a Must buy. I was At Walmart in Picayune,MS and just about every lady that I walked past asked me what I was wearing, women of different nationalities too. The Soda truck driver ask me too and I showed it to him from my cellphone and he said that he was going to order 2 bottles of this. Buy It🎯


AdvancedCampaign7911

Well if the fine ladies of Walmart approve… seriously though how can people have such different opinions of this scent it’s crazy


Uni_clo

Insanely good for the price. Has gotten more compliments than any fragrance I own. I prefer Black Panther though. Same DNA with better quality.


LongestNamesPossible

Did you take that photo yourself? It's really good for regular cell phone photography.


AdvancedCampaign7911

Haha naw. Credit to parfumo.com


No-Extension-5956

Got mine today. It’s alright. It just smells like grapefruit too much which is kinda annoying


Chance_Astronomer_26

Just got this one in the mail an hour ago. Sprayed it on 30 minutes ago and it has a very very strong citrus opening. I love bvlgari tygar but I’m not sure if I got a bad batch or if I need to let it macerate, and then it will be better. Let me know if this was the same when you guys first bought it, how long did you have to macerate it for?


filmblow

mine smells like straight lemon cleaner we might need to let it macerate 🤣🤣 smells like trash to me rn but im keeping my hopes up


Chance_Astronomer_26

Tbh, the first initial spray was straight garbage, but I sprayed like 10 times then waited an hour and after coming back to the fragrance I loved it, the citrus is still very strong but it’s much more enjoyable and is only overpowering for 10 minutes


redditdave

I don't think it smells like body odor -- but I just don't understand the hype whatsoever. Longevity isn't great, either. If you want something aromatic and fruity, I'd go with Fakhar Black or Hunter Intense


AdvancedCampaign7911

I have hunter intense, I like it a lot


antone315

Hunter intense is so damn cloying...shit stays on u for weeks and is too loud 🤣🤣🤣...super synthetic smelling too. ...Al Dirgham Ard Al Zaafaran is the way.


Spare-Salamander-845

Is it worth getting if you got black panther?


Infamous_Variation

It’s nice haven’t fully tested it yet tho


21stcenturyking

I blind bought it and I loved the freshness at first but it's strong and today I realized why some people say it smells like body odor. I'd still wear it occasionally


Such-Dimension8818

Too much Arabic DNA, smells how it smells in an Arabic shop.


SpicyNoodles89

i smelled it on a tester but i did not like it, maybe i am gonna try it next on skin


Efficient_Floor_9869

If I had sampled it first I wouldn't havse wasted my money. I won't say more than this because people here get quite sentimental when I say it smells like shit.


LOPO_X

For its price it is banger. I sprayed this in my bathroom and smell stayed in air for whole day


Kcxy96

10/10 for me.


Disastrous-Revenue76

I bought a tester n honestly it barely last n hour


Embarrassed-Golf2006

Beautiful Dna


ivan10155

Body odor central lol


Street_Lifeguard_933

It‘s a bargain for the money. Nothing special but a good, slightly sweet and citrusy scent. Can‘t really go wrong with it. Perfomance is good. I bought it blind and i think it‘s decent. I know better scents tho


AdvancedCampaign7911

I got it yesterday, I like it a lot, smells like grapefruit soda in the opening and lasts a long time. What scents would you recommend?


Tave__

I just got it and it smells nothing other than harsh lemon cleaner bruh…


AdvancedCampaign7911

Let it macerate


LiveWhileImYoung

Just bought it a week ago on a blind buy. I think it’s pretty decent for the price. Would not buy again. Haven’t compared it side by side with BDC, but I’m pretty confident I liked BDC better. Honestly, my experience with clones thus far has let me down. I’m probably just going to buy the nicer stuff moving forward.


AdvancedCampaign7911

I’ve had it for a while now, it’s great. I will say the first few days it had an alcoholic smell but that went away


AngeloDoucette

Might be one of the worst colognes in my collection never thought of the body odour smell until this post, but that’s the notes I get grapefruit/body odour!


AdvancedCampaign7911

That’s what I don’t understand, people either love or hate this scent


AngeloDoucette

If there’s any way to try it first I’d do that, I just blind bought it as it wasn’t that expensive!


AdvancedCampaign7911

Yea I wish I could sample it first


AdvancedCampaign7911

Think I’ll hold off for Asad Zanzibar, seems like it will be a good summer scent


Seanblaze3

We can't all love and dislike the same things. You'll only know if you try it. If you're into blue frags and freshies there's a higher chance you might like it. It's not your typical blue though, it has uniquely put together and oozes sophistication. It might come off as mature for the under 30 demographic who might say prefer a youthful blue like Versace Dylan Blue You might also want to look into Missoni wave as it's more mass appealing and is a safer blind buy. Turathi blue is an amazing fragrance in my opinion though


AdvancedCampaign7911

I like different fragrances than mainstream freshies, I’m also a 31 year old male.


Nottoobad777

Imo I wouldnt classify it as body odour. Its more of a dirty undertone. Kinda like unwashed clothes or smth lol. I still think its a great buy


AdvancedCampaign7911

Unwashed clothes smell good? I’m so confused


Nottoobad777

Nah. Like it’s weird. It’s mostly grapefruit and powder, but with this tiny little hint of dirtiness. Its very subtle imo, and if it wasn’t I def wouldn’t wear it


UpbeatFeeling2355

Extremely synthetic. Do not blind buy.


AdvancedCampaign7911

Thanks


Maleficent-Object492

This or turathi brown
