Turathi Electric by Afnan

Perfect for switching up the citrus and soapy vibes in summer. Don’t be fooled; it’s still citrusy at the start, but soon pear and apple take over, giving it a sweeter tone than classic summer scents. Vanilla and amber give it body, so it’s not as fleeting. Lasts about 5-6 hours, with projection reaching mid-arm, which is more than enough. Note: some days it gives me olfactory fatigue, especially at the beginning, so if you stop smelling it quickly, that might be why. Blind buy? If my description appeals to you or you’re looking for something different for summer, yes, it’s safe. If you’re hunting for something classic like Y EDP or Blue de Chanel, this isn’t your spot.

Citrusy, sweet, a bit fruity, drying down to a musky, almost shower gel-like scent. Unisex for sure, no issues for women. It’s a soft, summery aroma, somewhat boring, offering nothing you can’t find in similar fragrances, but with performance matching the price. Projection is scarce or tends to fade to skin-level very quickly, with four hours of longevity if you’re generous. Honestly, I recommend going for Turathi Blue instead—a citrus that, while not my favorite, will give you almost twice the satisfaction, or at least make you feel more perfumed. Try before you buy; don’t buy blind due to hype, there are many enthusiastic YouTubers floating around. Cheers.

Honestly, I wanted it for the bottle, which is a work of art. It’s a pleasant, easy, fresh, and slightly sweet fragrance with a dry-down that tends toward the feminine. Bright opening, quite citrusy and lightly sweet with fruit notes in the background. Within minutes, the citrus fades, leaving the fruity notes to take center stage alongside that light sweetness. After an hour, the floral notes dominate, and to be honest, it could be mistaken for a women’s fragrance. Longevity is 3-4 hours on my skin. It has a clear downward projection curve: moderate for the first hour, then dropping until it’s barely skin-scent.

This is a SPECTACULAR perfume 🗣️: juicy pear, green apple, and clean musk summarize this fragrance. Since its release, it’s been very pleasant, not loud, more lowkey. Although it projects decently for about two hours. Completely unisex and versatile; I see it more as a summer and spring scent. I can see myself wearing it with a white shirt and linen pants on a hot night, having an aperol on a terrace; it projects tranquility and confidence. Recommended blindly, unless you like perfumes that smell macho, because otherwise, it’s very, very unisex.

Another hit from Afnan’s Turathi line. Inspired by Ex Nihilo’s Blue Talisman, Turathi Electric is a very well-executed interpretation, better than most dupes. Its DNA is massive and easy: sweet, fruity, with good performance, making it an excellent option for the price. My personal preference goes to the God of Fire DNA, which is more complex and satisfying. In fact, it’s the Blue Talisman profile, not the Turathi, that makes me want to own it for that rounder structure.

So faint and, to add variety, yet another hyped feminine perfume, what a shame. Men will end up using women’s perfumes 100%. There are few male youthful perfumes (is it an oud-leather scent for grandpas or girls?). They should release good dupes of rich, masculine, youthful perfumes like LV’s Meteore or Chanel’s Allure with current Arab quality. There’s plenty to draw good male dupes from.

Tested this weekend. I already hated Art of Universe, but since I’m a fan of Thurati Blue and knew it shares that DNA with Blue Talisman, I hesitated. At first, I liked it because it didn’t seem like AoU, but then those loud citrus notes came out and didn’t convince me. It’s fresh for daytime, but I don’t like it; I recommend testing it before buying.

It’s good, but it doesn’t quite convince me. I bought Art of Universe, Thurathi Electric, and Odissey Limoni. If you’re looking for the strong DNA of Ex Nihilo, Art of Universe is the most potent; if you want a fresher, more citrusy opening, I’d go with Odissey Limoni. Thurathi Electric falls in the middle, neither one nor the other.

I couldn’t believe it, but it smells a lot like Antonio Banderas’s. There are an incredible number of clones out there. Although AB’s version is more masculine, this one from Afnan seems a bit more feminine to me, so much that my wife asked for it as a gift and I had to agree.

Honestly, Turathi Electric surprised me. I bought it blindly. It’s a fresh perfume with citrus notes like tangerine and bergamot, excellent longevity, smells clean, masculine, elegant, and easy to wear. I’ve been getting compliments so far; it’s one of my TOP 5.

I can’t believe it, but it smells exactly like Antonio Banderas’s. There are so many dupes out there. The original is more masculine, but this Afnan version seems more feminine; my wife asked for it as a gift, and I had to give in.

I like the citrus and fruity aroma; it’s ideal for hot days. For me, it doesn’t last long and the projection is weak. I love the scent, but it just won’t stick; citrus perfumes simply don’t last on my skin.

I love it. Smells like sweet, citrusy pear with an electric touch. Several friends have smelled it and didn’t like it, so it’s not a blind buy, but it’s a good perfume.

Smells great, but the scent doesn’t last at all; I tested it and it probably lasted only about 3 hours.

What a pity… it smells so good and lasts so little (at least on me).
