The Verdict
Turathi Blue is the brighter of the two: bergamot and mandarin over amber, woods, patchouli and musk, with fresh spices. Bleu de Chanel EDP is wood first, cedar and sandalwood smoothed with amber. If you want a fresh, citrusy blue scent for a fraction of the price, we'd pick Turathi Blue. If you want smooth woods, Bleu de Chanel is the better choice.
