How close is Turathi Blue to Tygar?
Very close. I'd give Afnan Turathi Blue a 90% similarity rating to Bvlgari Le Gemme Tygar, or 9.0 out of 10. To my nose, it's a convincing option if Tygar is the fragrance you're trying to get close to.
That rating is about how similar they smell. It doesn't mean the bottles will give you the same number of hours or exactly the same projection. For the buying decision, though, the closeness is the main reason I'd put Turathi Blue on the shortlist.
The citrus and woods connection
Bvlgari builds Tygar's description around grapefruit and ambergris accords. Afnan lists bergamot and mandarin up front, amber and woods in the middle, then musk, patchouli and fresh spice. The note lists take different routes, but the bright citrus and woody direction makes the comparison easy to understand.
The grapefruit detail is worth keeping in mind if it's your favorite part of Tygar. Turathi Blue doesn't need an identical note list to smell close, but sampling both lets you decide whether the part you love most carries across for you. That may be the thing that decides which bottle you choose.
You can read the brands' own descriptions on the Afnan Turathi Blue page and Bvlgari Tygar EDP page. This is also a well-established comparison among reviewers.
Which one would I buy?
If you want a close take on Tygar and Turathi Blue's current price fits your budget, I'd start there. The similarity is strong enough that I wouldn't dismiss it just because the note descriptions differ. Use the retailer cards above to see what's available before choosing a bottle.
If you've sampled Tygar and want that exact fragrance, go with Tygar. A close alternative can be a great buy, but owning the original still makes sense when it's the one you keep wanting to wear. Our Tygar clones and alternatives guide is useful if you want to compare more than one option.
