Our Verdict

Turathi Blue and Tygar both aim for a fresh, citrus-musk profile, but diverge significantly in price and refinement. Turathi Blue, a budget-friendly option, offers a strong, synthetic citrus blast with impressive projection, making it a great value for those seeking attention. Tygar, on the other hand, boasts a smoother, more natural citrus opening with a hefty dose of ambroxan and a luxury price tag. Its appeal lies in the high-quality ingredients and the prestige of the Bvlgari brand. Choose Turathi Blue for performance, Tygar for a more luxurious experience.

Our Verdict - Tygar EDP
A sparkling grapefruit and ambroxan scent with ginger, ambrette, vetiver and patchouli underneath. Addictive and well made, it has been widely imitated, and many still hold the original as the one to beat.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Turathi Blue EDP
A zesty citrus opening dries into smooth woods, amber, musk and patchouli. Fresh, clean and an easy daily reach for warm weather, whether at the office or the gym.

Tygar's fresh, invigorating profile makes it perfect for casual and sporty wear, especially in warm weather. While it's sophisticated enough for some dates and formal events, its strong projection (at least for some) might be a bit much for a quiet office setting.
