Afnan Turathi Blue - sits between BDC and Tygar and any day better than any other BDC clones.

Turathi Blue - I have Bleu de Chanel EDP and Bvlgari Tyga but it smells close to BdC in my opinion.

Try Turathi Blue it's closer to Bulgari Tyger but has notes similar to blue di chanel, just a little more interesting

Lässt about 8 hours for me, citric opening and smilliar dry down to BDC, not 1:1 but it will reminds you of it 😁

I wouldn't say Afnan Turathi Blue is a straight out clone - more of a mix of BDC and Tyger.

I even smell a bit of Bleu de Chanel EDP in it.

Also I have now realised that afnan turathi blue is a greener version of bdc and hence more long lasting , I'll pickup afnan turathi blue over bdc 7 times out of 10 just because of its better performance

Turathi blue is first imo and iconic is a bdc clone (98%) similar 2nd place.
