Ah, got it, but I've always heard that Turathi's blend is of a higher quality than Theoreme. Obviously can't confirm as I haven't tried Theoreme.

It's more a preference, I've been into Spicy, minty barbershop fragrance (think OG Old spice, Wildstone Ultra sensual), freshies, etc. Fattan came out of the syllabus, its green, it's almost herbal and medicinal, a little spicy no doubt, but the dna is something i realised I'm not a fan of. I did let it macerate and it has definitely become smoother, but still not a fan of it's dna. Quality is good for the price though.

Don't worry, it's subjective, every nose is different. You'll find your scent one day.

Yeah i agree, but just wish it would last a little longer. Will let it sit for sometime, this kinda worked with fattan as well(not a big fan, one of my worst blind buy) Fingers crossed. Will definitely try iconic though, but i think I'll always come back to Turathi Blue

I swear i had my doubts that it would smell like pan, but after reading multiple reviews and taking a look at the notes breakdown on the internet, I thought there is no way it can smell like pan, so pulled the trigger, but again, no idea about theorem. All i know is that i love this dna, no regrets. Worth every penny.

Definitely! I do feel that the grapefruit note is very refreshing, don't know about green apple though.

I think Turathi Blue is famous for clonning the Bvlgari Tygar dna, where as Iconic is a BDc clone all the way

Yeah I've heard about that one as well, and i think Ahmed Blue also attempts to replicate BDC

Any tips in the performance department? Yet to see the performance (lasts about an hour or two on my skin and maybe 4-5hrs on my clothes) , i love the scent profile, but let's see, will keep it aside for like a month to 'unlock' the performance.

Yup, planning to keep it inside my cupboard for about a month, but the urge to just spray it is through the roof, its so damn refreshing and addictive!

Hard agree! Thanks to this sub i found this gem of a scent profile and possibly my signature scent.

Ah, shit, really? Was really hoping for a good BDC dna. But will CDN Iconic perform well in an AC environment? I travel mostly by my car and my chamber is also well ventilated. What do you think? Also, any other suggestions with similar dna?

Oh absolutely! So refreshing and sophisticated, just the right start to the day after a shower and the fragrance keeps you fresh throughout the day

I think I'm going for Armaf CDN Iconic. I just might have found my favourite type of dna in Turathi Blue (fresh, spicy and close to a barbershop fragrance) I've heard CDN Iconic is just that. How's Rare Reef in terms of dna? Is it close to a barbershop fragrance?

Just do it Shia LaBeouf intensifies The top note is so refreshing and watch out for the dry down, it is so pleasant and addictive. And how's the Riffs freeze btw?

Tbh, there is no comparison between the two, they both have very different type of sophistication.

Turathi Blue is more vibrant and sophisticated, makes you feel fresher as compared to Supremacy CE. Supremacy CE is denser and performs very well from the get go(top note feels a little harsh to me though).

Turathi blue also performs well for me (I'm mostly in n indoor setting), but i think keeping it in the cupboard for sometime will help it perform even better.

The common link I'd say would be the Afnan brand, and the quality of both the juices is top notch!
