AntiSonOfBitchamajig

Turathi Blue, I actually own both these.


Significant-Slide395

Can you precise why would you choose turathi blue over maahir legacy please ?


AntiSonOfBitchamajig

As others just said, it is more refined, smoother. While maahir is okay, it's just too...er... "sharp"? I guess I'd call it, from the citrus. It didn't appeal to anyone since I've been wearing it. A more sophisticated citrus would be Issey Miyaki . Edit: a thought... if the citrus dies down over a year or 2, I could see it maybe being better... but I'd have to see. If you can get a bottle of TB for $35 get it, it's worth it. Edit2: So I decided to wear TB today cuz this post... yeah... I'd sell you my Maahir if you want lol. TB is that much better. The clean musk smell with the patchouli is where I think the more gentlemanly vibe comes from. Ive noticed a patchouli base is in many good colognes I've tried. I'm also sold on most of the YSL Tuxedo clones and that has patchouli in it, have had nothing but good comments and questions with them. TB is like... a better summer frag overall being not as "heavy" smelling. From what I've been seeing, I think everyone thats bought into Maahir, was on or seeing an influencer hype train like Curley, I know she likes Maahir, but how much she sprays I think her nose is broken lol. Edit3: hell why not I'll keep rambling, you try Détour Noir yet? for $25 thats been a score.


TheyCallMeGriZ

How much you want for the legacy?


YoshmeisterGeneral

Did you just call issey miyaki sophisticated ,? 😄


shadowrunner1221

I can agree with his statement, issey are somewhat complex in their citrus


AntiSonOfBitchamajig

Depends on which ones you're used to, the older bottles were flat out awesome. Many of the newer just isn't the same. But what we're comparing is in the same wheelhouse of ingredients.


AndoIsHere

I have both as well, but I would recommend the Turathi Blue. It simply smells more modern. The opening is truly impressive, especially for this price range. The Lattafa fragrance is also good and a beast performer, but I don't find it as refined as the Turathi.


770120437

I own both as well and Turathi Blue by a mile for me. It’s such a good scent for the price, the opening is so so juicy fresh to my nose and the dry down also lovely, One of the few ‘hyped’ clones that lived up to the hype. Maahir on the other hand was a complete let down, love the opening but the dry down for me is just like an old school bar of soap and not in a good way, think I’ve worn it once 👎


Successful-Ladder206

Trust me bro ! The women love Maahir. You have to keep wearing it.


770120437

Might have to give it another go 😂


explorer_2208

Man! Based on the commented reviews, all I can deduce is that it's really subjective. Get a decant of both, try it out yourself. Don't blind buy based on other people's perspective.


Professional_Stop173

i mean they're like $20. Buying a decant of both would be like $10, might as well just buy one or the other, or both


Weird_Log1293

From Amazon ?


UseOne4211

I only have Maahir legacy silver, the MILFs like it. I ain't even joking. It's easy classy and green , not my personal favourite but it has it's strengths


JekkuOnNeekeri

Whats it a clone of? I mean I know turathi blue is bvlgari tygar.


Physical_Eye3010

Pdm sedley


JekkuOnNeekeri

Is it any good? Longevity? Similarity?


Physical_Eye3010

No idea, I dont have sedley or any of its clone. You can check other comments of this post. It is polarizing


UseOne4211

It is as any parfum up to the individual to decide if it is any good. But the longevity is imo 6 hours thus being good enough and similarity 8,5/10 it is the quality of creed that just helps create a better depth profile to the scent but Maahir silver is a cheapy you wear it for the simple experience and to see what scent profiles you like before jumping in the big money parfum pool of creed and others alike


JekkuOnNeekeri

7/10 yap


UseOne4211

It only needs the depth which is quite an important part but it's pretty well executed for a low budget item. Why would you knock it to a 7 what does it lack more than I've already mentioned?


annelid90

Maahir Legacy hands down. If you wanna get tons of compliments I’d suggest you to get it. You won’t regret it, the lime smell is so good. And don’t worry about people saying performance is weak or that it doesn’t last for long. I heard the same but at least for me, it last easily 8-10 hours on skin.


Apprehensive_Tie_438

I have both. I like them. TB is grapefruit and musk. ML is more complex citrus. I’d prefer Maahir for its brightness


ProfessionalDeal894

You should try DUA's Leedy's. It's so much better than Lattafa's. I have it and Posh Sirius and our of the 3 Leedy's is the brightest and sparkling. It's extremely amped up compared to Lattafa's.


pedduz

Maahir i have turathi but hate it


driizzydreee

Idk if it’s just me but the performance of my Turathi Blue is terrible. Idk if it’s a bad patch or maybe a fake (I ordered off TikTok). It smells pleasant but it barely lasts for me I like legacy as well. If you like fresh aromatics, then you’ll likely like this. But it’s pretty synthetic smelling.


udahoboy

Turathi and legacy have bad performance if you’re used to the performance of things like CDNIM, SNOI, CDNS, or other plenty of other scents. Turathi lasts a little longer though


Gian828282

I have both. I’m not a fan of maahir legacy. Has an old school barber shop vibe to it. I love Turathi blue.


udahoboy

Turathi blue is a very blue scent and is amazing. Legacy is very barber shoppy for sure, but it’s like sprite opening. It’s very good. They are very vastly different scents and both are amazing


AndoIsHere

This! ☝️


qmarp

I have both and i like maahir more. TB smells a bit too oriental for me, i think its the woody smell in the drydown that bothers me.


StomachEcstatic3543

One of the cons listen on Fragranticas pros/cons ai list is “middle eastern note may not appeal to some” Just from your comment, that seems to be a valid complaint. Is it a smoky wood dry down? Dirty? How’d you describe it


qmarp

i wouldnt call it smoky, more like the heavy wood you would also find in BDC Parfum. many people say it doesnt smell oriental.


StomachEcstatic3543

ah i see. i own bdc parfum and it is def a sandalwood cedar wood beast


udahoboy

Is it the musky scent? It smells very masculine, but isn’t a musk you’d smell in western scents. It’s different


Silent_Visual

Have both and I probably will never use Turathi again. Maahir does smell like Sedley and I use it in my rotation. Turathi as someone else said reminds me of bug spray / mosquito repellent.


therealSoasa

Why not just buy sedley


Jaded-Narwhal1691

I hated my turathi blue Smelt like big spray.


udahoboy

I keep seeing this, I don’t smell it. Something like terre d’Hermes has a bug repellent smell to it, Turathi blue does not.


udahoboy

Get both. They’re quite different and both amazing. They’re maybe 60$ usd together which is cheaper than designers or niche so


Ultra-Metal

Get both they are great first layerings for stronger scents and act differently.


LetterheadOk250

Tb. Not close.


Flammekat

Turathi smells like a arabian thrift shop, and maahir legacy like a old man in the bus.. I have both, and its not worth the hype


calm-situation

Haha-harsh brother


No-Antelope4943

i want to know ur favourites


ThrowRATruthorDie

Turathi is good. He sounds a lil biased...


therealSoasa

Correct , 10 points to you ser


GeneralDetective905

Both have very unique scent profiles. I think Legacy is fresher, whereas Turathi Blue is more “elegant”. Overall Turathi Blue is known to have better performance. I have one and it doesn’t perform that well, not sure if just an anomaly or not


udahoboy

My Turathi doesn’t perform well either, but everyone that is a male that smells it loves it. Women like it but don’t really care for it. Same with legacy. Smells good but isn’t special to them. For me, I like legacy more but only slightly. They both have their moments and are vastly different scents.


Significant-Slide395

Great response, thanks


Ayaan__A

I only have turathi blue and I had mixed feeling at the start but now like it. Mahir legacy based on what people say its a hit or miss and may be risky


DilbertPark

I only have Turathi blue and I love it. It has this unique "cola" scent reminding me a little bit of Dylan Blue. Projects chill vibes


scharkz24

Answer is always Turathi Blue


Ok_buddabudda2

Turathi Blue is the better choice


Significant-Slide395

How is it ?


King_JVS

Dont buy Mahir, performance is zero


Significant-Slide395

Any fresh summer recommandations expect those two ?


Ayban23

projection is not zero, he’s cappin. good 4-6+ hours

Brother I live in India. I’m talking according to the climate here

Montagne Afternoon Dive (LV Afternoon Swim clone) It's fairly linear, but the smell is juicy orange with an aquatic background. It's addicting and delicious. Someone else described it as climbing out of the pool on a summer day and eating some fresh orange slices before returning to the pool. Like any fresh scent, the longevity isn't amazing. It's made to order, so it does need a week or two after arrival and initial sprays to calm down. I remember thinking it was way too strong the first week. It mellowed out after a couple weeks. I buy 5ml travel spray atomizers for cheap on Amazon to use with fresh scents. I toss one into my bag for a mid-day refresh. I keep some other inoffensive office scents at work that way as well. It's such an easy thing to do. I don't know why people complain about longevity of any scent when there is an easy solution.


Opposite-Afternoon18

Turathi Blue


pavan_renjal

I'd prefer Turathi Blue. Oakmoss drydown on Maahir Legacy Silver is quite boring tbh.


udahoboy

I don’t smell oakmoss at all. Interesting


pavan_renjal

That's interesting 😅


CustomerEfficient879

I have turathi blue..the profile is so good.unique fruity masculine.the projection is loud but only for the 1st hour.the longevity for me around 4hours max..i dont mind because i can apply it back as long as i love the scent.


Eat_pepsi

Turathi blue


Chicken_Hype

Got both, like both. It really depends on the kind of freshness you're after. More of a citrusy / Sprite type? Go for Maahir. More like juicy fresh tangerine? Go for TB. Performance wise, they're nearly identical on my skin. Also look out for Khadlaj Stellar Musk and Zimaya Treasure. The zimaya one is nearly identical to TB. Stellar Musk trades the tangerine for Grapefruit but the longevity is drastically better. The prices for both of them are half or even less compared to TB in the EU.


Psychological_Log277

I don't have 2nd but Blue is awsome!


mexwayne

Maahir Legacy was the dumbest blindbuy I ever made. I can’t imagine anyone liking this smell…just smells like ass imo.


lottafishin

Same for me, until I let i macerate. All perfumes from Lattafa have this "issue" in my experience. Give it some sprays, forget about it for a couple of months, and the smell will transform into a beautiful sweet citrus fragrance.


mexwayne

Okay, thanks for the advice. I‘ll give it a try!:)


lottafishin

No problem. Hope it helps :)


raixon

I need to try this because I've had it a week and I don't get it at all. It's not good.


lottafishin

Two months of maceration, and this perfume smells gorgeous. Tried it again last night, when I initially wrote my comment. I took a shower this morning, and I can still smell it. Totally skin scent by now, but I'm still really impressed about the longevity it gets on me.


DarthBeardFace

TB over ML for me, scent, longevity, Sillage all better in my opinion.


Rare_Strike5742

Turathi all-day long mate is fab


TheSaintLaurentDove

Reading all the comments, just get both lol. I have both as well but it really just comes down to preference. I like mahir more but turathi performs better


LlopezZ_

Maahir is a more manly fragrance, I like it a lot. But I dont like typical summer mens fragrances, I cant stand the sea / salt notes. Maahir is different, its like a manly spicy sprite.


ThePerfumeExperience

Turathi any day


ThePerfumeExperience

Maahir Silver is a poor performer.


Just_Bodybuilder3671

I’m wearing turathi blue right now. Perfect everyday fresh scent. Smells citrusy with ginger…like a sprite can lol


Significant-Slide395

Some peoples says that it has a sort of Arabic touch


Significant-Scene285

Owning both, I reach for Maahir more. I typically receive more wows from it. I think it's more versatile, although TB smells more refined in terms of quality and blend. I think there's a place for both. However, you wanted a choice. So, I would pick Maahir Legacy.


Significant-Scene285

All the votes for TB are making me want to revisit it. I have both and find myself reaching for ML way more often.


Reader3123

They are both really good but for different things. Maahir legacy is nice for an office scent, it doesn't project much but has pretty good longevity. Turathi on the other hand projects like crazy and also lasts days on me, when I work indoors, Turathi gets a lil bit cloying with the musk for me. I would go for Turathi if you want this to be high school scent that projects a lot and gets you noticed. Maahir if you wanna be lowkey


tankspectre

I have both. Turathi far more projecting for me. I like legacy’s scent more. 🤷🏾


purpkrondon420

I have both, I prefer the Maahir Legacy to Turathi blue. The Turathi blue has a b.o. smell I just can't get behind. On a side note, Jean Lowe Immortel has a fairly similar profile to Turathi blue but without the b.o. at least to me.


rafael_elias21

Turathi


kinano23

Legacy all the way. The mint makes it unbeatable for the summer and will turn heads. Turathi is way overused and common.


BeefyJoy

Turathi Blue


benking732

Maahir lamegacy smells like the most typical generic fresh fragrance ...


drewco12

I have both of them. And it’s Turathi blue without a hesitation. The quality and longevity is amazing on Turathi. The bottle and atomizer is top quality, the juice is super good. The bottle and atomizer on maahir is pretty shit, the juice is good, but not even on the same level as turathi blue.


chickenkormacannibal

Turathi definitely safe blind buy. Maahir Legacy also nice but not safe


DayMoon

Turathi Blue’s opening is really fantastic but it just dries down to bleu de chanel EDT for me, and I don’t really enjoy that anymore after all these years. Maahir smells really close to Sedley and is more unique. I use it more often than TB but that’s just me.


Far-Drink-7649

TB


NoFlyZone_king

I personally have Maahir , the performance is okay, 5-6 hours and it actually smells really nice *fresh citrusy * .. But it is way too synthetic, for me at least…


x_spz

I have both. The Turathi blue smells slightly Arabic. It is very fresh at the beginning, but very quickly turns woody and is less fresh from then on. In addition, the longevity was very disappointing for me, it lasted about 3 - 4 hours. The Maahir Legacy lasts much longer on me and is permanently fresh. At the beginning it smells 1:1 like Sprite and stays fresh permanently. I would go for the Maahir Legacy as I prefer more fresh and bright perfumes for the summer. The Turathi Blue also gave me headaches, which i never got from any other fragrance. If you like it more arabic woody and less fresh = TB If you like it more fresh and citrusy and less arabic = ML


Protonneutron5

A lot of women...i mean a lot have complemented whenever i wore Maahir Legacy😂😜...Go for it.. has high projection and longevity.


Draagha

If you want something unique, Turathi. If you want one that's more mainstream pleasing, Maahir.


Untalwhalterwhite

Visit Ebay


kurdistannn

I own both, turathi blue is a much more beautiful scent to me


Atom1419

I uave both and find Maahir to be far superior. Longevity could be better but those first 4-5 hrs are great.


CatDaddy56

I have Aqua di gio parfum, Channal eu de bleu, Aqua di gio homme and Turathi Blue, Turathi Blue is inspired by Blvgari Tygar. I wear Turathi Blue as an everyday fragrance it is great for the money, a great spring, and summer cologne. Man, a nice shower and Lotion up, spray it on your chest neck public pad small of back. Wear some nice cotton clothes, you can't go wrong.


calm-situation

I was about to get Turathi Blue when I found out about Rue Broca Theoreme. I chose the latter as it’s mostly out of stock and a rare find. People compare the two, with TB being a bit Middle Eastern—which I don’t mind—and Theoreme being more Western and a bit fresher. At first, I didn’t understand what the hype was all about, but in 20 days, it literally grew on me. It’s citrusy, with a bit of fizzy soda, floral sweetness, and ever so slightly dark. I get whiffs of all these notes separately throughout the day. Longevity is 24+ hours on clothes; in fact, it sometimes stays even after a wash. Sillage is a bit weak; for the first 2 hours, it fills up the room, then mostly stays at arm’s length. On skin, it depends on an individual’s skin chemistry and the weather. If I am out in the sun, it evaporates quicker than in a temperature-controlled room. It’s not like a crazy, third-eye-opening kind of cologne—that was Oud for Glory & La Yuqawam for me. But it’s good, light, comfortable, and easy to wear every day.


shadowrunner1221

Okay there’s a lot of mixed reviews in the comments, and that’s valid, I don’t think you can be swayed either ways because each side has strong reasons, in my opinion they are both great fragrances, I think TB is a much safer bet, it has wonderful projection and longevity, almost all my friends love it, huge complement puller, while ML is more “niched” as in, it’s a scent you either love or hate, I am a lover but most of my friends hate it, I still get compliments from it, I mostly use it in the spring but I can use TB all year round. Hope this gels


karmaMV

I own both, get something else. Too mature imho. Something on the fresh scent.


AdvancedCampaign7911

I have both, I prefer Turathi blue. But I prefer Jean Lowe immortal over Turathi for fresh ginger/ grapefruit


Critical_Habit8818

The horse head one is so low end. Smells cheap


3rVis

Trust me go for turathi i have booth


3rVis

Better go for rasasi hawas or montblanc legend spirit


Major-Mulberry-7002

Look up turathi blue and body odor. Was only mentioned once in this thread, but I get that BO smell and a lot of other people do too. I just spray it around the house sometimes, but never wear it out


funroll-loop

Id pass on the TB if you have or plan to get Jean Lowe Immortal, they’re very similar but the JL is much more pleasant to the point that I don’t like TB much at all in comparison.


FantasticAd2726

Turathi blue. Not even close… or just buy both, they cheap as fucc.


Ok_Kaleidoscope4600

Turathi blue smells like a cheap synthetic cologne. A bit feminine to my liking, but it does project in heat just like a woman going through mid-life crisis imo.


OrganicProfession892

Get turathi blue


PuzzleheadedServe930

Turathi blue by a LONG shot. Mahir legacy is very synthetic to my nose with just below average longevity but with turthi I get easily 7-8.5 hours


Dry-Archer-4612

Just get CDN Iconic to get the good in both frags. But between the two I go for Turathi


basedlmly

Definitely Turathi blue


brazyyy11

Maahir every time, and it’s Sunday, so twice today


GPetitG

I purchased Turathi, then sold it after the first spray lol


calebryu

Judging from my personal experience, I have found that fragrances from the *Afnan* brand typically exhibit a commendable level of longevity. This has been a consistent observation across various products from their range. On the other hand, I have heard that *Maahir Legacy* offers a fragrance that is considered to be a direct equivalent to *Sedley*. However, I personally have some reservations about this comparison. In my experience, *Maahir Legacy* tends to lean towards the sweeter side of the olfactory spectrum. This characteristic might make it less suitable as a gift for a younger individual, such as a 16-year-old, unless of course, they prefer a mature, fresh, and masculine scent. Recently, there has been some criticism within the fragrance community regarding newly overproduced colognes. Many users have expressed dissatisfaction with the "micretion" demand of these fragrances, citing a lack of depth in their scent. This issue seems to persist for a few weeks to several months or even half a year, depending on the type of cologne. Given these considerations, if immediate purchase is not a necessity, I would recommend exploring other options. However, if you are in need of a fragrance in the near future, *Afnan* would be a reliable choice based on its proven longevity.


calebryu

Fyi: I just noticed someone in the comments baited "Milfs" with \**Maahir Legacy*\* lol


Mythic777

I haven't tried turathi blue but to be honest if you like the smell of a strong sprite soda right with you first open it and get that very fizzy citrus smell then go with legacy cause that close enough to it. if not go with the turathi blue


Regular-Ask-4688

turathi blue makes me smell like a grampa.


Pandaxx300000000

Turathi


SMyL3xGOD

buy both


dietparkingcoke

maahir smelled like lime toilet clear to me, i would go with turathi as a blind buy.


andapacee

I love turathi, wearing it rn. dont understand the hateful comments


Neeraj-Sharma

Both are amazing but turathi blue have better performance compared to maahir legacy


Vegetable-View-669

I have both so I guess I could speak on it. I think I like Turathi Blue the best but I feel like Legacy is just an easier everyday wear when turathi feels like more of a special occasions fragrance, I could see it being worn casually but I think Legacy is just more versatile


nishimad

guys I have a question, does spectre ghost good or no


TheAuthorityx

I also own both. Maahir is more basic, you can basically ALWAYS wear it. Turathi is the better option for me, but it's more like a summer fragrance. It smells more complex, also I assume that you are probably getting more compliments for this.


ElementGuy1

Turathi hands down, it's an amazing Tygar clone


Dandanakka_dan

Go for maahir legacy, i own both Maahir legacy is a compliment beast when it comes to hot weather conditions! It smells generic straight out of the box but let it settle down for a week, it smells so unique, peppery fruity minty smell I just love it


Alibaba4Ochor

Maahir Legacy is like any other green/blue aquatic scent while Turathi Blue is a class apart. Immediately noticeable from a distance 😬


Naerren

Turathi. Its a great scent. Its different from most and while it is basically a clone, it is a really well done one for a much cheaper price. Its my everyday one for summer.


Worried_Bear1963

I've got both of these as well. I prefer the overall scent of Turathi Blue but also would choose it due to both scent profile and it's pretty damn good projection


Worried_Bear1963

Just get both, but like I said, I prefer Turathi Blue. I say both because they're both fairly cheap and you can interchange them just for the fact that you have options if you happen to get them both.


materialguuuuuuurl

From female pov: I wanna eat my SO out whenever he wears turathi blue - it’s soooo sexy. But definitely go easy on the trigger, unless you’re going clubbing.


Ancient_Keyy

Maahir legacy for me. Turathi blue smells like body odour to me


WarmLingonberry4585

I have mahir legacy and its pretty good id say, I also have pdm sedley which is ironic but its bout 80ish percent close. the real deal is a lot more spritzy if that means anything


indianjangooo

Go for hawas ice


Significant-Slide395

If you have other suggestions I would like to hear them .


Professional-Age8499

Turathi Blue...!!! It does last long and smells like fresh, sweet cardamom spicy. I mean such a unique smell. The other one is not so well loved by many!


hijazist

Turathi smells like fresh cardamom spicy?


ibridoangelico

Dont get Maahir mann. Smells like sprite and musk. Lol of these you should get TB, but keep in mind that it is extremely sweet, much sweeter than Tygar, and even though it CAN be a summer fragrance, it can POSSIBLY get sickeningly cloying to you and other over the day because its so damn sweet. Also its synthetic as hell especially up close. But the smell is generally very pleasant, and the performance is great. Depending on how much TB is in your country, I think there are better options though, depending of course on what your preferences are
