01Is Turathi Blue worth it?

The short answer: Verified. Blind-buy risk is low risk.

The safest way into the grapefruit-musk Tygar lane at roughly a tenth of the price, versatile, office-to-evening, compliment-getting. Know the catch: it's an inexpensive entry to the DNA, not a luxury Tygar replacement, and the accuracy camp is genuinely split.
