The review
On paper, Turathi Brown is a strong bet if you want Tuxedo for less.
Afnan sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is Tuxedo's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
Strength: parfum, among the most concentrated formats a dupe comes in.
At $56 per 100ml it costs 77% less than Tuxedo — the 4th cheapest of 11 twins we can price.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Afnan publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on lavender and bergamot, turns to orris, vetiver and patchouli, and settles into Tonka Bean, vanilla and woody notes. That is the brief Turathi Brown is working from.
Top
- lavender
- bergamot
Heart
- orris
- vetiver
- patchouli
Base
- Tonka Bean
- vanilla
- woody notes
Lavender and iris over tonka woods, tailored and softly nocturnal.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
