Lattafa
Al Qiam Silver
Target: Tygar · Bvlgari
It's sold as a Tygar dupe, but that match is weak — and it's nearly identical to Turathi Blue at the same price. You're paying for a story it doesn't earn.
A fine grapefruit-ambroxan scent — but the 'Bvlgari Tygar dupe' framing is the trap. The Tygar match is contested, and it's essentially Turathi Blue again for the same ~$25. Buy it if you like the profile; don't buy the Tygar name. Evidence pool is still thin.

Grapefruit and ginger over an ambroxan-sandalwood base. Clean, fresh, and 'smells expensive'.

Camp A
The most underrated Middle Eastern cheapy ever created — best inspired-by version of Tygar.
Camp B
Weak Tygar match, and it's just Turathi Blue again — don't pay for the story.
