Afnan
Turathi Blue EDP
“The secret ingredient — makes everything around it smell better.”
The Middle Eastern budget segment's breakout success and a frequent comparison point for Terre d'Hermès-adjacent office cologne — Imran Fazlani's 2021 Afnan pillar and the best-known Bvlgari Tygar dupe at roughly one-eighth the price. A clean, bright citrus-aromatic with bergamot-mandarin top over an amber-woody heart and a musk-patchouli-spices base.
The take
What works
- ●Bergamot-amber-musk backbone that layers beautifully under citrus frags
- ●Punches dramatically above its $30 price
- ●Fresh spice accord that adds complexity without clashing
Trade-offs
- ●Longevity is modest solo — designed for layering, not headlining
- ●Will feel underwhelming if you expected a $30 Tygar clone
