Our Verdict

Y by YSL and Lattafa's Fakhar Extrait share an aromatic, citrus, and amber core, but diverge in execution. Y offers a refined, fresh, and clean experience with its aldehyde lift. Fakhar Extrait leans into a sweeter, more ambery profile, potentially bolder and more cloying. Y is a safer, versatile everyday choice, while Fakhar Extrait demands a confident wearer who enjoys making a statement. Price is also a key differentiator, with Fakhar Extrait being far more budget-friendly, albeit with potential compromises in quality.

Our Verdict - Fakhar Extrait Extrait
Sweet, sensual and strong, a long-lasting scent for evenings. Creamy tuberose gets a solar glow, and amber and leather give it a warm, slightly rugged base that carries well.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Y EDT
A fresh, blue-leaning citrus with ginger and mint on top, apple and pineapple in the middle and vetiver and cedar below. Clean, crisp and reliable for everyday wear, if not the longest-lasting.

Season and Occasion Fit

Fakhar Extrait

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring Summer

Tuberose, amber and leather are warm and rich, so autumn and winter suit it best, with spring nearly as good. Midsummer is possible in the evening.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

The office is the wrong place for something this strong. Dates and evening casual wear suit its sweet, sensual side for dates and evening casual wear.

Y

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Mint, lemon and pineapple are cool and bright, so summer and spring suit it. Autumn is acceptable, and winter mutes it.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Fresh enough for the office, casual days and sport. It is fine on a date but too light for formal evenings.
