Turathi Blue is a vibrant, citrus-forward fragrance that captures the essence of a high-performance blue scent with a distinctive Middle Eastern twist. It opens with a powerful, juicy grapefruit explosion, delivering a bright, effervescent burst that feels both synthetic and inviting. This initial citrus surge is sharp, clean, and refreshingly intense—solidly recalling the energy of Bleu de Chanel rather than directly cloning it. As the scent settles, the profile evolves into a more textured and mature composition, with layered musk, patchouli, and subtle woody-amber notes that add depth and warmth. The drydown is smooth and continuous, leaning slightly spicy with a synthetic yet balanced ambroxan core, offering longevity and discretion while maintaining a pleasant presence in the air. The fragrance performs impressively—projecting strongly for the first few hours, with longevity lasting up to 8 hours on skin and beyond on clothing. It remains versatile across seasons, with a strong affinity for spring and summer, though some users note it feels a bit heavy in extreme heat.
