Heart Notes
The heart reveals warm spices with cardamom and cinnamon, balanced against aquatic florals and a hint of incense-like balsamic notes. These spices feel grounded rather than overwhelming, creating a bridge between fresh and warm.
Base Notes
A sophisticated base of cedar, oud, and soft musk provides lasting warmth. The woody cedar feels aromatic and refined, while the oud adds subtle depth without dominance, creating a dry-down that feels both fresh and sensual.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Turathi Blue fresh like a cologne or warmer like a full fragrance?
It's beautifully balanced. The opening is fresh and aquatic like a cologne, but the spice and woody base give it the depth and longevity of a full Eau de Parfum, making it versatile for different seasons.
How does Turathi Blue perform in summer?
Excellent. The aquatic and fresh elements shine in warm weather while the spice keeps it from feeling flat. However, spray moderately as the strong sillage can project well in heat.
What's the main difference between Turathi Blue and Turathi Electric?
Blue is fresher and more aquatic, while Electric is spicier and warmer. Blue works better for day wear and warm seasons, while Electric is ideal for evening and cooler months.
