Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Fakhar Black Eau de Parfum
This YSL Y EDP dupe is a bit of a mixed bag. Some think it's a stellar, budget-friendly stand-in, especially after some 'maceration'. Others find it falls flat, lacking the original's depth and often suffering from poor longevity. Definitely a 'try before you buy' due to its divisive synthetic qualities.

Our Verdict - Intense For Men Eau de Parfum
This budget beast is a divisive freshie. Some can't get enough of its potent, sweet, shower gel vibes, hailing it as incredible value. Others find it a synthetic scrubber. Either way, it's undeniably 'Intense' and performs like a champ for the price.

Its fresh, clean, and mass-appealing profile makes it a safe bet for casual wear and the office, with many reviewers specifically calling it 'office and gym safe.' However, inconsistent performance reports, with some finding it light after initial projection, mean it might struggle for impact in formal or evening date settings.

Occasions

Best For:
